Later, they moved to Waldeck, SK and Anne went to work at A&W. After a few years she retired from work, but still looked after her house and yard. She moved to Swift Current and then into the Herbert Manor. When her health began to fail, she moved into the Herbert & District Integrated Healthcare Facility.
