Mom was born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 9, 1930 to Dougal and Genevieve McCormick. She grew up and attended school in Wapella, Saskatchewan. After graduation she attended Normal School receiving her teacher’s certificate and taught for many years, predominantly in Northern Manitoba. Mom was working for Social Services in Yorkton, Saskatchewan when she met Dad. They wed in 1961 and a year later moved to Wynyard, Saskatchewan where they have resided since. Mom committed the next years of her life raising us children. She was also a dedicated community supporter volunteering and assisting at/for various organizations and events. Up until recent months, Mom continued playing piano at Golden Acres and attending CWL meetings. She was a long-time member of the Catholic Women’s League and Golden Acres Auxiliary and also served as a member of the Housing Authority for over 20 years, many of those as Chair.
