They had a family, and later immigrated to Canada in 1955 with their 4 children. Upon settling in Winnipeg, Baba dedicated her work life to the New Nanking, where she worked for 27 years until her retirement.

Baba frequented the bingo halls of the north end, often with a grandchild or two, and in later years nurtured her love of slot machines. Baba was an avid gardener, cultivating her vegetable garden annually. The family would like to express appreciation to the St. Boniface Geriatric Day Hospital, emergency and ward 5B staffs, and WRHA Home Care Services for their compassionate care.
