She owned the Everson Bakery, with her sister-in-law Coral, cooked for Spuds in Sumas and retired from the Nooksack Valley School District as the head cook at the Grade School in Everson. Cooking was not just a hobby to her, she actually loved to do it, and you could always get a cup of coffee and some of her many sweet delights every time you stopped by the farm to say hi. And if you arrived at meal time, there was always enough to eat so you could count on getting full, and dessert too. Family and time well spent were of utmost importance, and she showed that in the many gatherings of family and friends at the farm.Mom sewed, never letting her machine cool off before she had another project in the works. Making school clothing for all of her children. Many birthday and Christmas presents were created on her sewing machine–bears, matching sweatshirts for ALL the grandkids, bunnies with big floppy ears and much, much more. Mom was also an avid gardener, both landscape and vegetable. She also played the piano, organ and accordion and showed a love of music by excelling in singing all the words of any old song, she especially enjoyed all the hymns.Mom and dad attended the Nooksack Valley Assembly of God church and gave their hearts to Jesus, and we know they are dancing around the throne in Heaven.
