She then moved to Toronto where she worked for Bell Canada for many years. Beth met her future husband by chance on an airline flight. She returned to Saskatchewan and they eventually married. A favorite pastime was their involvement in the Equine community, spending time at Spruce Meadows and various other horse shows.
