Summary

I have worked many jobs, which never felt like " jobs ". My main employment was in sales for over 30 years, in the fashion industry.

I loved working at the Crematorium in Maple Ridge and I also worked every Friday in the Funeral Home . I did pre- arrangements, funeral arrangements , wrote obituaries and even picked up deceased from hospitals, their homes and care homes.

When I married and moved to the Island, I was in my 50's and decided to just work part time and enjoy my time with my husband.

I also work part time, when needed, for liquor stores in our valley doing tastings. Again, this is social and fun, which I crave.
