She came back to Sedgewick and taught for two years before marrying Harold Carter on July 12th, 1960. The couple farmed in the Kinsella area for fifty-five years. Here they welcomed the addition of nine children; family always held a special place in her heart. Over the years they built a new house and expanded the farming operation while raising the kids and getting them to of all their activities and sports. She took great pride in her garden, canning and freezing the produce as well as wild fruit. Needlepoint and other sewing projects were another source of enjoyment, making crocheted outfits for each new child and grandchild. She was a long-time member of the Metropolitan Ladies Club, Royal Purple, and the Lougheed Fair Board. In 2015 they moved off the farm to Sedgewick where they resided before she moved into the Killam Healthcare Centre in 2024.
