In 1956, Ann graduated from Nursing School in Vegreville, Alberta and launched a life-long career of caring for others.  From her first nursing job in Swift Current, she nursed in Rossburn and Erickson, Manitoba.  She met the love of her life, Garf, when he asked her to curl in a bonspiel in Rossburn, Manitoba.  They were married in 1960 in Trochu, Alberta. Together they raised their 5 children in Brandon and Somerset.  Garf worked with Manitoba Hydro in Somerset while Mom worked at the Lorne Memorial Swan Lake Hospital, then continued caring for others through homecare for the area. She retired in 1997 after 50 years in nursing.
