In 1956, Frank and Helen purchased a farm south of Winkler and Helen became not only a wife, mother, but also a business partner to her husband. In later years they were able to travel and visits to Europe and the Holy Land were highlights for them. Helen also made many friends when they spent winters in Arizona. In retirement Frank and Helen moved to Crocus Village where they were able to live actively and independently until he passed away and she moved in the Buhler Active Living Centre.
