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.
Hosted 3 young men from Argentina, Barcelona and China, during their high school years. Also had young people from China during the summer months live with us. A great experience for us and them !!
Still in close contact with all our boys !!
This my was Agency that I had from 1981 until late 2010. My territory was BC, AB and Manitoba. I sold higher end footwear, handbags and leatherwoods. I did trade shows four times a year and also traveled all through the US.
I was well known and respected in my industry. I communicate well, am honest with my customers and directed them towards products that were good for their area and for their clientele.
