In her own home, Bessie worked tirelessly . Every year, she made jams and jellies from all the currents and berries grown by her beloved husband. Bessie also played the piano for sing-a-longs when her five children were young. She had many close friends. She also enjoyed her cigarettes!
She was a member of Westminister United Church for many years. She served as President of the Board of Children's Hospital and was a member of the Lieutenant Melville Wood Guild of the Hospital and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Khatrurm Temple of the Shrine.
