Ep 39 - Kelsey's great grandmother died when she was young, but she remembers visiting her and requested to learn more about her for this interview. I loved researching Kelsey's great grandmother Luella. She was born in North Dakota, emigrating to Saskatchewan at just 2 years old. Her life was a struggle, but she had a good sense of humor and was generous through it all. Watch the full interview to hear more about Kelsey's upbringing and how her and her great grandmother's lives found similar paths.
