Betty married Bill Greschuk in 1947 and lived all her married life in the R.M. of Brokenhead.  Mom worked hard milking cows, raising chickens and growing a big garden.  She was famous for her pies and flowers which she won many award for at the local fair.  In later years, she was employed by the Beausejour Hospital and Beausejour Golf Course.

Dad always said mom was happiest when all her kids were home and she was busy cooking for them.
