Their daughter Marilyn was born on September 4, 1942 and Mabel moved to her parent’s farm in Alingly while her brother Bill and husband Larry joined the Infantry in Regina in 1943. When they returned in 1945, they moved to their own land in Spruce Home. Barry was then born April 5, 1947. Many tough years were spent farming but they always found time to spend together fishing, camping, bowling , golfing and curling. Mabel was a great cook and enjoyed baking.
