The army years had them posted twice in Calgary, then Moose Jaw, Whitehorse and Regina. They ended their military travels in 1959.

Lil was treasured by her husband Mac, and will remain in his and their children’s hearts forever. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren will remember her smile, hugs and her inspiration for life.
