Jennie worked as a stenographer until her marriage to Victor Fontaine. They resided in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan for four years and then briefly in Ponteix, Saskatchewan. In 1955 they moved to Swift Current, Saskatchewan where they raised their family. The past six years of her life were spent in long-term care in Cabri, Saskatchewan.
