In 1938, she married our father Stephen Lenchyshyn and they worked together on the farm in Glenlea, MB. Some of her favourite pastimes were gardening, puzzles and photography. Despite her failing health she never complained. She always had something positive to say and an inspiration to everyone around her! She was a woman of great pride and dignity. Our family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Pembina Place PCH for taking such good care of our mother. She loved you as much as you loved her.
