Frances moved to Pouce Coupe with her sister Dorothy Swanberg in 1957. They were Maternity Nurses at the hospital. She met Lyle Edwards in 1959 at the Pouce Coupe Hospital as he brought his future Brother-In-Law in with a broken leg. Lyle and Frances were married April 18, 1960 and started a family in 1961.                                                .

Lyle and Frances bought land at Clearview in 1964 and moved to the farm in 1970. The two retired April 9, 1999 when they moved to Fort St. John. Their son Gary and family bought the farm where they continue to farm to this day.                 .
