She married Paul Dorozynski. They moved to Lynn Lake where Paul was employed as a Chief Chemist and Geologist. While in Lynn Lake they adopted Michael and Marlene. Mom was a devoted Mother and incredible cook. After Paul's passing in 1970 she returned to Winnipeg with Michael and Marlene.

After her retirement Mom spent 17 years volunteering at St. Boniface Hospital. Mom spent a lot of time doting on her Grandchildren. Mom and Dad travelled as much as they could until they were no longer able to do because of Mom's health. Two and half years ago Mom moved to Meadowood Manor. While there Mom made many friends with her contagious smile. She left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
