She was always a very hard working wife and mother, helping Ade with farm work and also working at various jobs throughout their married life. She enjoyed playing card games with friends and family, snowmobiling, dancing, watching the Twins and Vikings, and especially spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
