Following the conclusion of Ilo¹s military service they settled in Mountain View where Ilo engaged in ranching and Beatrice became an extraordinary mother and homemaker.

It was during these years that Beatrice became the office manager of Simmental Breeders Cardston Ltd. and worked in that capacity for many years. Beatrice was a kind, generous and loving woman who was devoted to church and family. Throughout her life she held various callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and in 1999 she and Ilo served a mission to the Toronto Ontario Temple.
