After graduating from Westwood Collegiate in Winnipeg in 1983, she met her future husband Garret, while working for Canadian Tire and they married on April 14th, 1990. In the year 2000, after the birth of their children, they moved to Kitchener, Ontario, where she continued to work for Canadian Tire.

Shortly after she moved to the main Canada Post office in Brooks.
