Mom sadly left us but happily stepped into Heaven when God took her hand.
Mom was born in Restoule, Ontario, one of seven children of Thomas and Blanche Birch. She attended Jumbo Gardens Public School and then Port Arthur Collegiate. After leaving school in grade 10, she married Bob Austin and they had 8 children.
Once the children were older, Mom worked as a librarian in the school system then worked in the Optical Dispensary at the Port Arthur Clinic. Following her work at the clinic she worked as the Secretary/Receptionist for the Public Relations Department of the Salvation Army.
Her final job before retiring was at the City of Thunder Bay Police Department in the Communications Centre where she spent 13 years. She also volunteered as a Girl Guide leader for several years enjoying her time there immensely.
