In 1942, at age seventeen, she went to work at the Massey Harris aircraft plant where she installed wings on the de Havilland Mosquito bombers. At nineteen she joined the RCAF and was posted to Halifax where she met her future husband, Ken Baker. After the war they married and two of their children were born in Halifax. The family moved to the Yukon in 1952, and the next four children were born in Whitehorse.
