During this time, Anna also worked for many families in the community, helping with cooking and cleaning. In 1956, Anna and her sister Mary went down to Medicine Hat to visit family. While there, they found jobs at an old folk's home. She stayed there for a couple of years and then returned to the farm. In 1961, Gerald Michael was born.
