As a young woman she worked as a secretary for International Paper Company in New York City. That workplace was where she met her husband to be Robert Barrie Robertson originally from Lanark, Ontario. Moving to Ottawa in 1939 they raised two children Peter and David. From there the family spent a few years in Peterborough before settling in Toronto.
