She learned of the Faith while working in a doctor's office in Prince George, British Columbia, in 1966. She is remembered for her bi-weekly trips to Reserves some two hours from her home, usually by herself and sometimes in the harshest of winter conditions. In 1991, a year after her husband, Murdo, passed away she received permission to pioneer, departing for Abaco, Bahamas, residing there for nine years as a retiree. She travelled all over the island countless times, visiting the friends, but also opened her home to any number of neighbours and friends, tutoring the children of the local primary school, and continuing the volunteerism she began in Canada. She served on the Spiritual Assembly of Central Abaco and was elected to the National Spiritual Assembly, serving as its unpaid Secretary for the last three years of her life.
