A member of the Society remembered among the leathercrafters whose work filled the Annual displays. She showed four pieces at Leather '82, the Society's exhibition at the City of Brampton Library and Art Gallery, Bramalea, 3 July to 1 August 1982. One piece of hers was chosen for the Society’s 1985 Travelling Exhibition, from about sixty entries, by the judges Robert Muma, Paul Williams and Alison Parsons: twelve keyrings of assorted designs, entered as one piece. She was listed “ex officio” among the 1986-87 Executive Council on the roster's own “Others” line (1986-summer p3), alongside Directors and Branch Presidents but not herself a Director or Branch President that year; role on the Council not stated beyond “ex officio”. She made a square for the CSCL Leather Quilt. In 1985 her work toured the North York Public Libraries; she was a director of the Ontario Crafts Council and the Society's corresponding secretary.
