Ada was an avid member of the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation and the Weyburn Curling Club. She loved to crochet, knit, sew and quilt. She was an avid observer of all sports, especially her beloved Blue Jays and in recent years she learned the game of football and became a loyal Rider Fan, but her special sport was always curling which she paticipated in as a skip until she was 90 years old.
