They cattle farmed and raised their family there until they build a new home in Preeceville. With her love of golf and to be close to the water Delmar and Gailene decided to build their retirement home at Crystal Lake after a very successful career as the Executive Director of the Mackenzie Society.  

    Gailene took pride doing crafts and loved to bake with her grandchildren.  She cherished her retirement time wintering at their home is Arizona. Gailene was also an avid curler and won the prestigious title of Natural Ice Ladies Curling Champion. This paled in comparison to her unwavering faith and the love she had for her family and friends.
