Mom and Dad were introduced in Victoria and married on September 12, 1959. Mom continued to work while raising a family and retired from the Memorial Pavilion at Royal Jubilee Hospital in 1994. In her retirement, Mom spent her time enjoying her garden and going out with friends. For many years Mom and Dad were active members of the Victoria chapter of the BC Friends of Schizophrenics.
