During her youth, Monie was raised in Secretan, Boharm and Parkbeg. After graduating High School, she moved to Moose Jaw and attended Normal School. She got her first teaching position in Melaval where she met her husband Joe. They were married on August 7th, 1946 in Moose Jaw. Joe’s work with the CPR took them to Abound, then to Holonquist, then Meyronne, and with their daughters, moved to Grainland, then Bishopric and settled in Chaplin in 1956. After Joe retired from the CPR, they went on numerous tours of North America. They remained in Chaplin until 1983 and then moved to Assiniboia. After Joe passed away in 1988, Monie moved to Moose Jaw. Monie was an avid curler. She enjoyed golf, baseball and football, and she always talked about being at the Brier and the Grey Cup game, and watching her beloved Blue Jays play in Minneapolis – attending these events into her late seventies! She was a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxillary. She felt strong about her heritage, having many momentos. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren and her many friends. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.
