As a small child she moved with her parents to BC first to Greer Valley and when they were burned out there, down to Lily Lake along the Nechako River 9 miles from Fort Fraser where they homesteaded.
Mabel married Frank Roberts in 1937 and they placer-mined at Manson Creek, logged at Prince George before moving to Wells BC where she bought a rooming house: the Cariboo Rooms. Mabel and Frank moved to Oliver in 1961. Mabel was active with the Legion while in Oliver. She loved playing cards, bingo and slot machines.
