My parents were Gordon Lewis and Kathleen Sero. I was born at home on the eighteenth of July 1931 in Point Anne, Ontario.
We moved to Tyendinaga when I was about one year old and lived at an area called 'The Beach'; this is where I received my early education in life from the influence of my parents and grandparents. I started school at a native run school on the reserve but when it was closed I was required to attend an integrated school in Shannonville which was called a mission school since we could go home every night. I moved to Belleville with my parents and two younger sisters when I was fourteen.
I worked at Mead Johnson for a few years and then met my future husband, Harley Wilbur. We are the proud parents of four children and have grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Following retirement we moved to Salmon Arm, British Columbia. During my life I have painted for several years and lately have turned to writing.view less
