On June 24, 1950, she married Doug Henry. They lived on the farm in the Rossendale District. She worked at the sewing factory before moving to Portage. When she moved to Portage, she was employed at Campbell Soup until her retirement. In 1993 they moved to Falcon Lake to enjoy their retirement. She loved her knitting and quilting, as well as many other hobbies. Many times you could find her watching sports on TV, like baseball, hockey and curling. She made many friends while living at the Douglas Campbell Lodge.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Douglas Campbell Lodge for the care and compassion they showed our mother over the years.
