In 1962, they moved back to Ontario with their six children and subsequently moved to Grand Valley, Ontario where they purchased a farm and began a dairy operation.

During those years they enjoyed travelling to Florida and Saskatchewan yearly, gardening and spending time with family and friends. Bernice had many hobbies as well; quilting, knitting and crocheting were just a few. She also volunteered her time at Headwaters Health Centre.
