She attended RRCC in Portage, then moved to Winnipeg for awhile but moved back to the country. She experienced a few different jobs mainly retail but then settled in at the Portage Co-op for several years. She became a mother to Justin on October 4, 2007 and to Alex on March 25, 2012, they were her world. Children made her smile. She was Auntie Nat to many. She was devastated by the passing of her son Alex on November 9, 2015. She had learned to live one day at a time and was also taken way too soon. We will miss you our beautiful butterfly angel.
