Lil, with her cheerful ways, was all giving of her time to family, friends, church and community. She spent her growing years on the family farm in the beautiful Qu’Appelle Valley and attended Coyote Run School. At 16 years old she moved to Moose Jaw to work, where she met Roy. Shortly after meeting, World War II started and Roy went off to war and Lil went to work in an ammunitions factory in Woodstock, ON.
