They moved back to Kuroki to help run the Daviduk family farm. During this time they had four children: Donna, Marion, Michael and Katherine. Effie’s family grew to include 11 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren with one more on the way. Effie was very proud of all of her family and really enjoyed her great—grandchildren, hearing all of their stories, accomplishments and spending time with them. Effie enjoyed playing softball, curling, painting and dancing. She was also active in her church and Kuroki Community Club and loved spending time in both Kuroki and Wadena Senior Clubs playing cards. Effie worked very hard on the farm throughout her life. She took pride in all the chores she did, milking cows, gardening and looking after her beautiful flowers. She was a wonderful cook and baker She was always insistent that everyone who visited, left with an overflowing stomach and a care package of goodies. Right up until her passing, she was still making cabbage rolls, perogies and sweets. This fall she took advantage of all the cucumbers and canned many many jars of pickles.
