In 1946, "Ma and Pa" and their extended family settled in Magna Bay, establishing a successful strawberry farm business and raised eight children. Ma enjoyed spending many hours tending to her flower gardens, watching WWF wrestling, dropping a few coins at the casinos, going fishing with Pa and having friends and family over for "coffee time". In 1992, Ma and Pa retired to Chase. They soon adapted to the city life. They enjoyed eating out and taking part in the seniors' activities. As her health failed, she returned to the North Shuswap to be with her family.
