After her marriage to Charlie in 1942, they farmed at Kaleida, moving to the Darlingford family farm in 1958. She led an active community life involved in 4-H, UCW, curling and the Legion Auxiliary, to name a few. Mid's many creative talents were evident in her paintings, poetry, gardens, sewing and em-broidery. After retiring as an MTS operator, Mid and Max enjoyed 22 winters as snowbirds in Mesa, AZ. Mom's lifelong commitment to others was nurtured through visits, letters and phone calls. After a full and rich life, a great and loving spirit is at rest.
