Archie and Mary farmed for 8 years around Buchanan and spent the winters in Toronto. In 1954 they sold their farm and moved to Toronto. After some years they moved back to Saskatchewan which was their favorite place to live as Saskatchewan was home.
Mary was an excellent seamstress always looking for new challenges.
In 1985 Mary and Archie retired at Spiritwood Acres near Good Spirit Lake. Those were the best days of their lives as they enjoyed golfing, fishing and camping. Mary was an avid golfer. She was determined to go to one of many tournaments with a fractured wrist without a cast on.

After a big farewell given by the residents of Spiritwood Acres, she moved to London, Ontario to be near her family. There she continued to golf until the age of 84. She would go back to Saskatchewan to visit family and friends. In 2005 she had the pleasure of visiting her cousin in Australia which was very exciting. While there, she enjoyed golfing and had fun watching the penguins and kangaroos while sightseeing. Mary had the pleasure of spending her winters in Atlanta since her daughter and family moved there in 2007. She spent a great amount of time with her grandsons and especially made time to attend their sporting events.
