Vera Carlson lived her whole life in Alberta and raised her family in Devon and on the farm near Mayerthorpe. In the late sixties, she worked off the farm as Head Cook at Blunt’s Nursing Home and then as the matron of Pleasant View Lodge, a position she held until she retired in 1984. Her lifelong attachments and community involvements gave her a strong affection for her many relatives and friends in the Mayerthorpe area.
