Lucy worked in different factories and then at the Paddlewheel restaurant at The Hudson’s Bay for 25 years, before retiring in 1992. She loved to travel and visited many destinations such as Russia, Alaska, Hawaii and many road trips throughout the United States and Canada.   She enjoyed spending summers at her Star Lake cottage with family, picking blueberries, mushrooms and fishing. Lucy loved her home in Winnipeg, tending to her vegetable and flower gardens. Lucy was a wonderful cook, famous for her torts and home made soups.
