She was the first president of the CWL, the parish hall Event Coordinator and Kitchen Supervisor, a member of the choir and a eucharistic minister. She was also on the Board of Directors for Home Care, in Canora. Although she believed in giving back to her community, taking care of her family and the farm were her biggest priorities. She took great pride in growing a large garden, making perogies with her potatoes, cabbage rolls with her cabbage and the best borscht and beetniks with her beets. She and Leonard operated their own chicken production for many years involving their children and grandchildren. Whether it was her family or community, she instilled a hard work ethic and influenced all those around her Their home was always open to family and friends where they hosted many gatherings.
