Bev worked at the CIBC in Vauxhall for a short time before taking a job with the PFRA (Bow River Irrigation District). She remained there for numerous years until her retirement. Bev and Doug retired to Taber for a few years before moving on to Lethbridge. After a short time in Lethbridge, Bev decided to take part time jobs at Warwick Printing and the Lethbridge Exhibition. They travelled a bit to destinations such as Hawaii, a Caribbean cruise, Mexico and Arizona. While in Vauxhall, Bev was an avid curler and golfer. She held several positions with both the Vauxhall Golf Club and the Vauxhall Curling Club. In her spare time she would sew, bake and knit. After Doug’s passing she joined a social club where she enjoyed playing cards every week with her special friend and card partner Gerald Wobick.
