Mark Joseph Coueslan of Regina, SK passed away peacefully on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 11, 2024 in Palliative Care at the Pasqua Hospital. His health had been failing for many years due to various complications. He will be remembered and mourned by his two sisters and their families, Tracy Coueslan (Rodney Chatterson) and their children, and Lindsay Coueslan and her children. Mark is survived by his son Travis. He will also be missed by his girlfriend Robin. Sadly, Mark was recently predeceased by his son Austin, aged 28, on April 14, 2024, which broke Mark's heart. Mark was also predeceased by his parents, Henri Joseph and Marie-Jeannette Coueslan; sister Dorian (Terry Ward); and brother Kent Coueslan.Mark was born in Regina and brought home to the family farm, southwest of Wolseley. He was the eldest of five children. The four oldest children had many adventures on the farm and were allowed to run free as long as they stayed away from the dreaded dugout. Much time was spent in the hayloft playing in the bales, climbing up and jumping down. Also, the magical forest where Mark had his tree house and two swings was another favourite spot for all the children to gather. Here Mark lived until the age of 10, when the family moved to town. Mark was an intellectual and could converse on any topic. As a child at St. Anne's RC School, he was an accelerated student, thus finishing school early. Mark loved sports and was good at them. At the local track and field meets in Wolseley and area, he usually won the coveted crest. Mark played hockey and football for many of his school years. Prior to retiring, Mark was the manager of Co-op Cabs and co-owned an apartment building which he enjoyed fixing up. Mark has finally found peace and has joined Austin and their cat, Pedro. A special thank you to his sister, Lindsay who helped care for Mark these past number of years and his brother-in-law Terry, who helped Mark in so many ways.

Mike passed away with family by his side in the early hours of June 14, 2024. He fought cancer courageously for the past two years. Special thanks to the Palliative Home Care Team and 3A staff at the Pasqua Hospital. Mike was born in Saskatoon and grew up in Calgary, Winnipeg and Regina. He attended A.E. Perry School and Sheldon Williams Collegiate in Regina. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Saskatchewan in 1994. Mike was predeceased by his mom Sharon, Aunt Marj Krueger, Aunt Kay Berry and his grandparents. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 26 years, Kirsten, sons Mitchell and Matthew, dad Mel, mother-in-law Diane Lemon, stepmother-in-law Marilyn Lemon, Uncle Joe and Aunt Syliva Elliott, Uncle Ray Berry, and Uncle Bill Krueger, cousins Jennifer and Dave Devereaux (Claire), David Elliott, Sheri-lyn Berry (Macey and Shanti), Stewart Berry (LoriAnn), as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins on Kirsten's side of the family. There are too many friends and colleagues to name here but all of you know how much you meant to Mike. Mike and Kirsten met at Louis Pub at the University of Saskatchewan in 1991 and they married in 1998. Together they raised two incredible sons. Mike was a supportive and loving husband who didn't go a day without telling her how much he loved her or how beautiful she was. They loved travelling and finding new restaurants to enjoy. They even made holidays out of all the swim meets they attended; it didn't matter the location. Watching his boys grow into fine young men was his proudest accomplishment. He was an amazing teacher and wanted them to know how to be independent human beings. He often said that he had so much more to share with them. He loved watching them compete at swim meets. He was their biggest supporter and missed very few meets. If he wasn't there, he was watching a livestream of their races. Mike spent several years on the Regina Dolphins Swim Team board and loved officiating up in Cloud 9 at the Lawson. Mike practiced dentistry in Regina for just short of 30 years. There were many messages of love and support from patients and staff after his diagnosis and passing. He retired in December 2023 and received many emails, cards and texts expressing gratitude for how comfortable patients were in his care. A few colleagues were able to have a final visit with him in the days before his passing. The love they shared was evident in the emotion of those days. Mike's other passions in life were waterpolo, golf and Mission Lake. As a young boy he was in the Regina Chapter of Demolay. He also achieved the level of Queen Scout. Mike spent many years playing waterpolo even as he became a husband and dad. He also volunteered his time as the President of Waterpolo Saskatchewan. A highlight was winning a gold medal at national championships in 2006. One month ago, Kirsten and Mike travelled to Calgary to watch Team Sask try to take back the Championship. Although, they didn't win, Mike came home with a bronze medal. It was a wonderful final road trip...being on the pool deck as an assistant "coach" and catching up with lifelong teammates. It meant a lot to Mike.Bruffer loved his time spent golfing at the Wascana. It was the only thing for which he would get up early. The golf boys, you all know who you are, held a special place in his heart. The trip they took to Bandon Dunes last fall was a lifetime highlight for Mike. Time spent at the family cabin at Mission Lake was important to Mike. He loved working out in the yard and touring the lake in the boat. He also had fun taking the boys tubing with their friends. Some thoughts he left for the family, "Don't leave ripples in this life, leave imprints; Be good to others and they will be good to you; Embrace hard work; Take time to enjoy life". Mike always said, "life is good". We just wish that his life could have been much longer. Raise a glass of scotch to honour Mike's memory..."cheers". A private interment will take place this summer. Those wishing to donate in Mike's memory may do so to an aquatic sporting organization of their choice. Family and friends are invited to leave tributes at http://www.reginafuneralhome.ca.

May 8, 1935 - June 17, 2024

Lester Thomas Nilson (Pastor Tom) died on Saturday morning June 15, 2024, with his daughter-in-law Linda at his bedside at home at College Park II in Regina, Saskatchewan. He died peacefully after getting steadily weaker over the past while. Tom was born in Secretan, SK, on April 1, 1926, in a snowstorm to Josephine Jacobson Nilson and Andrew Michael Vikestol Nilson. He was the fifth of eight children, four girls and four boys. His wife, Randi Maria Farden Nilson (1926-2019), his parents and all of his siblings have predeceased him. He is survived by three children, eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren – John Thomas Nilson and Linda Lee Nilson of Regina and their daughters, Ingrid Andrea Nilson of Vancouver, BC, and Solveig Marit Nilson and Sotonye Igoniko and Boma of Regina; Ralph Andrew Nilson and Suzanne Marcia Nilson of Nanaimo, BC, and their daughters, Bethany Marcia Nilson O'Krancy and David O'Krancy and Lucy of Regina; and Anna Marie Nilson Laidlaw and Richard Laidlaw and Jack, Scott, and Tom of Ottawa, ON; JoAnn Kathryn Nilson and James Lokken of Saskatoon and their sons Nils Andreas Akpan Lokken and Robin Brown Lokken and Soren and Selwyn of Prince Albert, SK; Olaf Peder Nilson Lokken and Catherine Yamniuk Lokken and Micah, Esme and Isla of Charlottetown, PEI; Torbjorn Johan Nilson Lokken and Lauren Achtemichuk and Anders of Saskatoon; and Knut Ragnvald Nilson Lokken and Megan Fortune of Fredericton, NB. He is also survived by his sisters in law, Greta Wells Nilson of Moose Jaw, SK, and Betty Nilson of Hudson Hope, BC. His predeceased brothers and sisters and spouses are Dorothy and Roy Turner of Central Butte, SK; Melinda and Clarence Chelsberg and Cy West of Moose Jaw, SK; Norman Nilson of Vancouver, BC; Obert Nilson of Hudson Hope, BC, and Margaret Simrose Nilson of Prince George, BC; Arne Nilson of Parkbeg, SK; Florence and David Olson of Strongfield, SK; and Evelyn and Hans Burmeister of Brandon, MB. He was also predeceased by his wife Randi's only sister Gertrude Anna Farden Satre and Harold Curtis Satre. Then the family moved to the farm north of Parkbeg where three more children were born. They attended a one room school about one and a half miles from home. When the snow melted, the kids cast off their shoes and went barefoot all summer. Tom and his brothers each had their own trapline. Tom used his money from catching muskrats, weasels and coyotes to purchase stamps for his collection. This became a lifelong hobby. The eight Nilson children and the ten Grasdal cousins who lived close by made life interesting for their mothers who were sisters who had grown up in Finley, North Dakota, and their fathers who were best friends from Austevoll, just south of Bergen, Norway. When Tom later wrote his 600-page family history, Austevoll Saga, he showed that all his Jacobson, Baardsen, Kolbeinsvik, Vikestol, and Grasdal ancestors came from Austevoll. Genealogy also became a lifelong interest. Tom was a good student but he took a couple of years off from high school to work on neighbouring farms. When he returned to high school, he went to live with his oldest sister Dorothy and her family so he could attend school in Mawer, SK. After that year, the local Lutheran pastor, George Evenson, with urging from Tom's father persuaded him to complete Grade 12 at Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute in Outlook, SK, starting in the fall of 1944. He was given a student job as janitor to help pay for his tuition and board. For Tom this was an important turning point in his decision to become a pastor as he made many friends. Fortuitously he also met a young woman from Macrorie who was attending the summer bible camp at LCBI who was studying at the University of Saskatchewan. Randi, her widowed mother Anna and her sister Gertrude were managing a large farm five miles south of Outlook in the summer and living in Saskatoon in the winter. Tom's interlude working on various farms came in handy when Randi and Tom eventually got married in 1950. In the fall of 1945, Tom started at U of S and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon. It was a compressed post-war plan of study which allowed him to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Divinity degree in five years. Internships were completed in the summers at Inwood, MB, Stewart Valley, SK, Ryley, AB, and Medstead, SK. Money was always scarce but the Lord (and Tom's strong back!) provided what was needed. Randi had completed her dietetic degree in 1947 and then did her one-year internship at Hamilton General Hospital in Ontario. Tom was very happy when she began her first job as a dietitian at the Saskatoon Tuberculosis Sanitorium. Their relationship blossomed but discreetly as the seminarians were to avoid relationships during their studies. However, they were expected to be married when they moved to their first parish! Tom and Randi accomplished this and were married on September 29, 1950, after Tom was ordained on May 21, 1950, and he had accepted the call to a five-point parish in Medstead, including Robinhood, Bapaume, Urland and Belbutte. John was born in 1951 in Saskatoon and brought home to the parsonage in Medstead renovated by Tom. In 1952 the family of three moved to Prince Albert (PA Lutheran, now Messiah) where Ralph was born in 1953. Pastor Tom was the voice of the Lutheran Sunday Service on CKBI radio for four years. He also served as the President of the Christopher Lake Lutheran Bible Camp. He tirelessly raised money for the new Lutheran Sunset Home in Saskatoon. In January 1956, the family of four moved to Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, BC, to serve and build the mission church, Mount Olivet Lutheran. JoAnn was born in 1956. Pastor Tom also served on the board of Camp Luther at Hatzic Lake, BC. The family of five moved to Edmonton and Central Lutheran Church in 1961. In the fall of 1963, the family moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where Tom started graduate school at Concordia Lutheran Seminary. During the summers in the Fifties and Sixties, the family spent happy vacations at the farm at Macrorie where we had our own sandy beaches in the pasture on the South Saskatchewan River. Visits to Grandma Nilson and the Nilson family at the Parkbeg farm were always pleasant adventures as well. In 1965, Tom received his Masters of Sacred Theology degree and in the fall the family moved to New Westminster, BC, to serve Mount Zion Lutheran Church. Pastor Tom served as the President (now called Bishop) of the BC Conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada. He was the BC Representative on the national board of the Canadian Bible Society. His many years on the ELCC Board of Trustees allowed him to provide financial guidance to the national church. He returned to the Camp Luther Board and infamously organized the 1971 purchase for $1.00 of a Jericho Beach military apartment block. It was cut in half with a chain saw and transported on two moving trucks to a barge and then towed up the Fraser River to Hatzic and then to the camp. Tom and Randi and the children loved living in BC but the Prairies continued to call. With JoAnn attending LCBI in Outlook with her Satre cousins, Tom and Randi moved to Regina in 1973 to serve Our Savior's Lutheran Church. After the Farden farm at Macrorie was sold in 1965 to accommodate the South Saskatchewan River Project, Tom and Randi were without a farm home for four years. In 1969, the Chelan farm was purchased next to the new Satre farm. This special place became a family retreat that continues to welcome the next generations. Pastor Tom's ministry in Regina included home visits with members, large confirmation classes and construction of the new church that was dedicated in 1979. He relished grocery shopping (and visiting!) at the Safeway next door to the church., Tom took early retirement to spend more time at the Chelan farm. Tom and Randi continued to travel to Norway to visit aunts, uncles and cousins. In 1983, they moved to North Battleford to serve Zion Lutheran Church. Randi enjoyed her new job as the dietitian at the Saskatchewan Hospital. In 1985, Tom and Randi hosted the festive wedding of JoAnn and James. In 1986, a three month stay with JoAnn and James at their CUSO posting in Ukana Iba, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, was an adventure. In 1988 after retiring again, Tom and Randi started a one-year journey around the world. Stops included Europe, Africa, India, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and China. Recently Tom enjoyed talking with his care aides and usually surprised them when he told them he had visited their countries. On their return, they retired to Regina and the Chelan farm. In 2012 after many happy years on Queen Street, Tom and Randi moved to Broadway Terrace. When Randi died in 2019, Tom was lonely but appreciated the support of family and his BT community. Retirement was busy and happy with caring for grandchildren, supporting Ralph and Suzie with their U of Regina activities, providing back up for John and Linda as John was elected to the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly and assistance to JoAnn and James in Regina and then in Saskatoon. All eight grandchildren were able to spend many hours and days with Grandpa Tom. He tried to teach them about repairing his Ford Model A and his Case LA tractors. All learned to drive in one of his farm trucks. All were able to appropriately use hammers and saws at early ages in farm construction projects. The great-grandchildren have not received the same hands-on instruction, but they will never forget his hugs and big hands after he held them in his arms. Tom was a people person. He grew up with few resources but he developed a keen sense of financial management which he taught to all of his children and grandchildren. He also shared this skill with his church on so many levels. He loved bold ideas and building institutions and structures. He was generous with his time. He honoured learning and teaching in everything he did. He will be missed by all his family and friends. Stories of his experiences will keep his memory alive. We rejoice that Randi and Tom are together again! A Funeral Service will be held at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 190 Massey Road, Regina, SK S4S 4N5 on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. The funeral service will be available on Zoom through the church website at oslregina.com.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Harvey John Drew on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at the age of 72 years. He was predeceased by his parents John and Minnie Druszcz; brothers Joseph (Pat) Drew, Jack (Dorothy) Drew and Edward Drew and sister Maxine Dobson. Harvey is survived by his daughters Marcy (Kyle) Sanderson and Brandy Drew; granddaughters Darian Drew and Emma and Caylie Sanderson.

Dad had a zest and passion for life. This came out in many forms, whether on the ice, golf course, poker table or anything else that could involve a win, feeling a "need for speed" on the highway, or going on spontaneous road trips. Dad thought he had a great sense of humour and always found great joy in his own jokes - on occasion, we did as well!

1932 - 2024

Feb 23, 1958 - Jun 1, 2024

Jan 1, 1933 - Jan 1, 2024Howard passed away at home on Sunday May 26, 2024, after a full and eventful journey of 90 years. Howard was born in Mountain Ash South Wales on November 15, 1933, to Lewis and Winifred Hopkins - a carpenter & his wife in a small coal mining village in South Wales. Attending Mountain Ash Grammar School, Howard contemplated a career in chemistry before starting medical school at the University of Wales in Cardiff. Howard married Haulwen Lewis on August 30, 1958. Howard received news by telephone in 1959 that he was now a qualified doctor while attending the birth of his first son, Martin. A story he was fond of retelling. While still in medical school Howard was the recipient of the Hughes medal in Anatomy. One of his many accolades and accomplishments during his long career but the one that brought the greatest twinkle to his eye. From his humble beginnings in South Wales, Howard worked at a number of hospitals before settling in Liverpool before eventually coming to Canada. At Walton and Aintree hospitals Howard's speciality was Chest & Tuberculosis but he also loved to teach. Howard passed on his knowledge overseeing the training in Chest & Tuberculosis medicine of final year medical students from the University of Liverpool amongst his other responsibilities. Howard left Liverpool in the fall of 1968 and emigrated with his young family to Canada by ship. Traversing the beauty of the St Lawrence River in the Fall before docking and taking a train journey to St Catherines in Ontario. Howard was based at the Niagara peninsula Sanitarium as a Chest & Tuberculosis specialist before eventually settling in Regina, SK where he practised as an Internist & Respiratory Specialist for a further 41 years. Howard had a passion and curiosity for science his entire life right up until the end. From geology to a love of palaeontology and fossils and all aspects of the natural world to physics, astronomy, cosmology and so much more than just medicine. He also had a passion for the arts, painting, photography and music - and the sound of Howard at the Piano was often heard in the Hopkins home as he relaxed after a long day. He loved Wales & Canada for a myriad of different reasons - often captured that love in his paintings & photography. He loved to paint starting with oils before devoting himself to watercolour later in life. After his retirement he immersed himself in watercolour painting, woodworking, marquetry & model ship building but continued with that endless curiosity and insatiable thirst for knowledge through reading and modern media. A voracious reader the house was always full of books. But medicine was his passion, and there were a lot of those books as well. With an insatiable curiosity, whether it was science, philosophy, the arts or anything else, he was always asking questions, asking why? It defined him his entire life. Howard practised as a physician for 52 years, 41 of those in Regina, SK before retiring in 2011 after starting his career in 1959. Never one for fancy clothes he always put his pens in his shirt pocket. From his humble beginnings in the desperately poor mining valleys of South Wales in the midst of widespread human conflict, Howard forged a path with a philosophy in Medicine and Life that was the core of his character. Howard's medical philosophy encompassed a phrase, a few simple words that he lived by and shared with medical students and new doctors alike and gave at the conclusion of his retirement speech. It was simply to "always be kind". Predeceased by Haulwen his beloved wife of 59 years, the love of his life and centre of his universe. Also predeceased by his youngest son Richard. Howard leaves to mourn his two surviving sons Martin and Stephen (Debbie); his dear cousin June; close friend and Haulwen's cousin & lifelong sister in spirit Nan - sadly predeceased by her husband Gwilym - both steadfast and unwavering friends to Howard & Haulwen to the very end. There was none closer and dear to his heart than Nan in South Wales. Howard lived to see so many relatives, friends and colleagues leave this world before him ... a cruel burden of such a long life. He outlived all of his closest friends except for former colleague Cam Wilson - loyal and supportive to the end. Many thanks to so many who helped in these final months especially his dear friend Cam Wilson. A 90-year journey leaves so many people to thank & the words of this brief eulogy cannot begin to mention so many ... but grateful thanks are given none the less. Howard's passion was medicine, but his life was filled with so many more passions and interests, enough for many lifetimes. Over the years so many have told us what a wonderful person he was; humble and caring with a wonderful sense of humour. We hope his good nature and warm sense of humour will be missed and remembered by all who knew him. In the end. to see Haulwen again was always his remaining final and only wish. With all our hearts we hope that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies so that Howard and Haulwen can finally be together again.Public Visitation will be held at Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Avenue, Regina, SK on Monday, June 17, 2024, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.speersfuneralchapel.com Godspeed"Nos Da - Ni'n dy garu di - Ffarwel"

William (Bill) Andrew Quick peacefully left this life on December 5, 2023. He and his family shared a quiet time that day at Pasqua Palliative Care in Regina celebrating a life well lived. He is survived by his immediate family Valerie, Andrew, Allan, Kathy, Jennifer and Andrea; grandchildren Spencer, Adam, Sheena, Matthew and Karl; great-granddaughter Leia; and treasured nieces and nephews. His loving wife of 61 years, Elsie May, predeceased him in 2015. Bill was born in 1925 on the family farm near Senlac, SK to Philippa and Andrew Quick, settlers from Cornwall, England. He earned a degree in chemistry, followed by a Bachelor of Education degree and taught in various communities throughout Saskatchewan. In 1952, he met Elsie May Halvorson at a United Church youth rally and they became engaged and were married a year later, beginning a lifelong love story and partnership. When Bill left teaching to return to university, he switched to graduate studies in biology. Having completed a PhD in plant biology in 1963, he took a teaching position at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, Ontario. By 1967, he, Elsie May and the family moved back to the prairies, where he became a professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Regina, a position from which he retired 27 years later. A true Renaissance man, Bill was curious and kind, using his many talents for the good of others. In addition to his educational pursuits, he was an enthusiastic singer with the Regina Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, serving 48 years with the Living Skies Chorus; an avid gardener specializing in lilies, with a backyard splashed with the vivid colours of asiatics, martagons and his carefully cultivated lily hybrids; a painter; a guitarist; a humourist whose puns will long be remembered with suitable groans; and a genealogist who traced his lineage to the 1600s in Cornwall, England. Active in the United Church throughout his life, he was a leader in student and youth organizations such as the United Church Young People, Christian Youth Caravan and the Student Christian Movement on campus. A tireless advocate for those most in need, Bill oversaw the expansion of the Men's Sunday Lunch Program at Knox Metropolitan Church, serving transient and needy men, into a large interdenominational program, serving hundreds of people every Sunday and involving 26 Regina congregations. Concerned about refugees, he and Elsie May helped sponsor families through their church, welcoming them to Regina and helping them settle into their new community. As chair of the Outreach and Social Action committee, Bill helped transform the Downtown Chaplaincy into the Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry, one of the most effective social justice voices of the United Church locally, provincially and nationally. His activities culminated in 2002 with the awarding of an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from St. Andrew's College at the University of Saskatchewan.In his final days, Bill reflected that the words of neurologist Oliver Sacks summed up his own sentiments: "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure." The family would like to extend their appreciation to workers at Wintergreene Heritage House whose compassion and care were so meaningful during his final days. Donations may be made to the Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry or to Sing Canada Harmony, causes dear to Bill's heart. A Memorial Service will be held at Regina Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4001 East Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK on Friday, June 14, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Those not able to attend in person are invited to join the service through live streaming at fweb.tv/130036.

We are heartbroken to announce the unexpected death of Gerald Nigel McAlpine on May 30, 2024, just 9 days after his 68th birthday. He is survived by his devoted wife Jo, daughters Lynley McAlpine (Chris Laine) and Jenny McAlpine (Darren Mason), and older brother Len. Nigel was predeceased by his parents Neil and Jean McAlpine. Nigel was born on May 21, 1956, and lived his whole life in the Aylesbury area. He married his high school sweetheart, Jo, on March 9, 1979, and they bought a house in Aylesbury. A serial entrepreneur, he ran many local businesses including the Aylesbury Hotel, the garage, fuel delivery, farming, and most recently McAlpine Trucking, from which he retired in 2022. Nigel was on the Aylesbury town council and served as mayor for 20+ years. One of his proudest achievements was saving the town's post office. A through and through Saskatchewan Roughriders fan, Nigel popularized Aylesbury Rider Pride in the 90s revitalizing a sign that read 'Simply The Best' outside Aylesbury. It stood for decades and was responsible for members of the team visiting the Aylesbury Hotel and Craik School. Nigel was a car enthusiast who (constantly) fixed up his dream car, an avid camper, and he enjoyed getting away to all-inclusive vacations with Jo and friends. Nigel always supported his daughters' achievements and choices. He was available to drive for all events, and he answered all car or house-related question his daughters had. As the strong, silent type, Nigel's dad jokes were often unexpected and thus even funnier. His little family will not be the same without him. A celebration of life will be held in Aylesbury on June 7, 2024, at 2 pm at the Aylesbury Hall, with lunch to follow. Donations in Nigel's memory can be made to the Aylesbury Rec Board for the Aylesbury Hall fund. Hanson's Funeral Home of Davidson in care of arrangements.

She played a pivotal role in Saskatchewan's first Women's Division in the Labour Ministry, where she guided women into the workforce by offering invaluable coaching and mentoring. Drawing from this expertise, she transitioned to the private sector, providing career counselling, coaching, and mentorship well into her retirement. She also volunteered time at the Fred Victor Centre in Toronto, where she worked in the kitchen to feed homeless and low-income people. She was known for her unwavering commitment, often seen counselling clients or reconnecting with former clients turned lifelong friends.Beyond her professional endeavours, Irene actively engaged in politics, overseeing polling stations during numerous Saskatchewan elections. She had a voracious appetite for Canadian and global news, with a particular interest in developments related to Ukraine.Our beloved Irene will be dearly missed by all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, dedication, and empowerment.

After his retirement, he operated a small engine repair business from his garage. He loved spending time tinkering away and visiting with neighbours, friends and relatives who would pop in on a regular basis.

He was in a band for most of his adult life, and was still playing his horn until a few weeks ago. Dad always looked forward to the regular Frohlick Family Reunions where he was treated like a rock star. Relatives both young and old were always eager to visit with him, and he enjoyed every minute of it. He and mom took many vacations with relatives to various destinations, including countless trips to other provinces to visit family. He loved to read about history and true stories, and would read the newspaper from front to back. Above all else, he loved spending time with his family. He was kind, caring, generous, compassionate and funny. He always had a smile on his face, and could often be heard whistling a happy tune or cracking a joke with his infectious laugh. He was very social and was able to make friends anywhere, anytime. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for 81 years, first with Holdfast council then with Father Burn's Council #5949.

Dad was born on January 2, 1924 on the family farm near Holdfast, SK. He was one of 21 children, 5 of whom died in infancy. He farmed in the Holdfast area until 1965 when he moved his family to Regina. He worked mainly as a mechanic, and also co-owned an auto repair/truck topper manufacturing business, until his retirement in 1985. After his retirement, he operated a small engine repair business from his garage. He loved spending time tinkering away and visiting with neighbours, friends and relatives who would pop in on a regular basis. He grew up in a home filled with music, and at 15 years of age, he picked up his brother's saxophone and learned to play by ear. He was in a band for most of his adult life, and was still playing his horn until a few weeks ago. Dad always looked forward to the regular Frohlick Family Reunions where he was treated like a rock star. Relatives both young and old were always eager to visit with him, and he enjoyed every minute of it. He and mom took many vacations with relatives to various destinations, including countless trips to other provinces to visit family. He loved to read about history and true stories, and would read the newspaper from front to back. Above all else, he loved spending time with his family. He was kind, caring, generous, compassionate and funny. He always had a smile on his face, and could often be heard whistling a happy tune or cracking a joke with his infectious laugh. He was very social and was able to make friends anywhere, anytime. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for 81 years, first with Holdfast council then with Father Burn's Council #5949. The family is thankful for the many friends he made at his home in Regina Village. We would also like to thank the staff of EMS, Emergency, Units 5A and 6A at the Regina General Hospital for the care dad received, as well as the staff at the Regina Lutheran Home where he spent a short time. Thank you to Father Okai, hospital Chaplains Jerry Fitzgerald, Jennifer Holtslander and Cliff Geiger for spiritual support. Also, a huge thank you to Dr. Stephen Bester and Shirley whose excellent care helped him reach his 100-year milestone. We would also like to thank Eileen Olson for the companionship and care she provided dad in the last several years, especially sharing his love of music. Dad was an amazing father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He had a wonderful life filled with millions of cherished memories, and was very blessed at 100-years of age to have still been living independently and with good health. He will be missed immensely.

'Bill' or even 'Billy' to old friends, born Oct. 14, 1932, in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully and with dignity, on May 1, 2024, at the age of 91, with his loving and devoted family by his side.Bill Brownridge was a distinguished, award-winning, nationally exhibited painter, and a best-selling author/ illustrator. He further added the roles of husband; supportive father; grandfather; determined humanist.Bill is survived by former spouse Bobbi Brownridge, their children David, Sophia, Nancy, Beth, and Boyd; by sons-in-law Chris and Rick; and by grandchildren James, Amelia, Cassidy, Rachel, and Rebecca.Born on the Canadian prairies during the Depression, the youngest in the family, Bill faced many medical challenges.He began to draw, then to paint, and the medium became an escape to the things he loved most: free movement; to explore life, and the landscape.Bill entered the Arts program at the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (PITA; Alberta College of Art; SAIT) in Calgary in 1953.After graduation, the artist worked in commercial art until 1972 when he joined the local PR/ advertising firm of Francis, Williams, and Johnson working as a graphic artist, then Graphics Creative Director. Notably, Bill oversaw design and production of the Calgary Stampede posters.The artist had his own projects away from work, pursuant to his love of fine art. In the mid-70s he earned a Canada Council Grant to paint the vanishing railway architecture. In the '80s, Bill rendered a series of serigraph art prints used in the 1988 Calgary WinterOlympics Bid Book; a bid they won. In 1993, the artist re-designed the NHL Calgary Flames game uniforms resulting in the iconic 'pedestal' jersey (1995-2000).In 1995 Bill left commercial art and formed 'Heart of Hockey' to market his fine artworks. The result was an inimitable impressionist art form, highly emotive, vital and provocative in composition, with a magical knack for creating joy and solace.Born during the years of Tommy Douglas and universal health care, Bill's humanist politics also came naturally. He supported many social causes, locally and worldwide.Bill went on to exhibit across Canada: Calgary's Glenbow Museum, the National Museum in Ottawa, and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. His paintings are found in galleries, homes, offices, and corporate headquarters across the continent.The artist went on to write and illustrate a children's book. In line with his values, loosely based on his childhood, the 'Moccasin Goalie' was born in 1995 and became a best-seller. Bill followed with two more books, creating a trilogy.In 2022, Bill was recognized for his decades of community service and was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in the category of 'Builder', referring to his promotion of grass roots hockey and its values through his paintings, books, school readings, community appearances, lectures, and projects.That same year, the Alberta government presented Bill with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal for his work in community service in that province.After five decades in Calgary, the artist moved to Salt Spring Island, B.C., and later to Victoria, where he continued working on his art.Bill had other passions: he was a voracious reader, and he was passionate about his family. And as much as Bill liked debate, he also liked to laugh, and, just like his art, it too was inimitable.'One of a kind' is a flippant phrase these days, but Bill was the real deal. He did what he said. And it was based on selflessness, and forgotten concepts such as truth, honor, and integrity. To Bill, these words were precious.Donations can be made to Doctors Without Borders, and KidSport Canada, both of which Bill long supported.

Mel was the third of four children born to parents Margaret and Gibson White, at home in the Golden Ridge district near Kipling, SK. An active boy, he grew up with a deep love of sports and music. In 1948, he married Ethel L. Wilton and together they raised three wonderful sons, Ken, Gary and Doug. Mel's love of family was always in the forefront, but his love for sports and music continued his whole life. As a young man he was very active, enjoying especially baseball, hockey, and field sports, and eventually taking up pool and golf. His love of music came from growing up in a musical family, and his love to sing grew stronger as he would sing with his best friend and brother Lorne. After high school, Mel took a business course in Regina, and worked with Palm Dairies, but this was short lived, and he quickly returned to work on the family farm. After farming for several years, Mel moved his family to Regina and he began working for DeLaval Dairy Equipment, first servicing equipment and later as a local retailer until his retirement. Mel and Ethel sold their family home on Grey Street and moved to Regina Village 22 years ago, where Mel made many wonderful friends.Mel is survived by his sons Gary of Calgary, Doug of Regina; his granddaughter Sheri (Mike) of Calgary; and great-grandchildren: Elias, Taryn and Kinley. He also leaves to cherish the memories of his life, many nephews, nieces, and friends. Mel was predeceased by his wife Ethel (2009); son Ken (2023); sister Eleanor (Leslie) Brown; sister Muriel (Eric) Schaeffer; brother Lorne (Dorothy) White; daughter-in-law Louise; and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. In celebration of a life well lived, there will be a graveside service for family and friends on Tuesday May 21, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, 815 Assiniboine Avenue East, Regina, SK., please meet at the gates of the cemetery. Mel lived life to its fullest and always had a joke to tell, we will forever remember the way he brightened our lives.Life is a song—sing it. Life is a game—play it. Life is a challenge—meet it. Life is a dream—realize it. Life is a sacrifice—offer it. Life is love—enjoy it. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit: www.leefunerals.com

Barry Gilbert Godwin was predeceased by his parents, Ruby (McMillan) and Charlie Godwin; wife, Caroline (née Olafson) (1990); sons, Kevin (1990), Neil (2009); brothers, Ivan, Murray, Melvin; sisters, Jean (Gunn), Donna (Perry); and special friend, Patricia Anderson (2023).Survived by his children, Susan (Ted) Rieseberg, Wesley (Sharon) Godwin, Ruby (Guy) Jeaurond, Sandra (Ron Chow) Godwin, Terry (Mark) Pillon; grandchildren, Tanner, Lindsay, Justin, Darren, Haley, Ashley, Erik, Sarah, Krystal, Dion, Zacary, Caroline and Tristan; 13 great-grandchildren; and brother, Lloyd Godwin.Barry left home at the early age of 14 moving to Ontario, Manitoba, and B.C., where he worked at a variety of jobs before returning to Tantallon, SK, to marry Caroline and start his family. There was not a lot of work in the area so he packed up the family, bought a welding rig and started a life in the oilfield, moving throughout Alberta, B.C., and Saskatchewan. Always a perfectionist, his welding skills were renowned and sought after, along with his uncanny ability to figure out virtually any problem and machine anything you needed. He was a man of many talents including pipefitter, mechanic, millwright, heavy equipment operator and truck driver.Always a man of the land and an Entrepreneur, he left the construction world and settled in the Candle Lake area in 1969. Barry's father, Charlie, held the very first trappers license in Saskatchewan and following in his footsteps, Barry took over the trapline at Summit Lake. With a dog sled and compass in hand, he began building trails, utilizing his skills, and learning as he went. Barry hunted, trapped, fished cruised timber, prospected and logged. He fought forest fires and shared his knowledge of its course when called upon for support. He loved the north and all that it had to offer and his adventurism and respect for nature are shared by many family members today.Barry invented and patented the Godwin Leg Hold Humane Trap, which he produced, marketed, and sold worldwide all the while navigating the necessary red tape bureaucracy. Sadly, all it took was a change in government to squash the most creative, humane and sensible trap invention of its time.Quick witted with a creative tongue, Barry never attended "Luniversity" and questioned the logic of a world that pumps out more lawyers than laymen. He was an avid reader and news hound whose keen interest in world affairs left him very concerned about the future. In the words of one of his nephews, "Uncle Barry was a forward thinker, many of his views on life and politics are certainly playing out."He was a leader and mentor among his family, friends and community and he took immense pride in sharing his vast knowledge – be it prospecting, gardening, fly fishing, hunting, knife making, gun smithing, machining, welding, forest and fauna, or world politics. In the 70's, Barry set up a saw mill and embraced the task of building his current home on Torch Lake with the help of family and friends. He later built a beautiful log cabin from the ground up at Summit Lake. He took pride in using local materials and living off the land and in helping establish the original Candle Lake Gun Range and the building of the community hall, alongside his teenage sons.Poor health slowed Barry down in his 40s until Dr. Meier discovered his iron levels were so high they were destroying his liver, among other things. One of the first in Canada to be diagnosed withHemochromatosis, Barry made it his mission to work with the Hemochromatosis Society and to share information on the genetic disorder with family members and others.Barry was productive and would typically accomplish more in a morning than many do in a day, weeding his garden, cleaning his garage and repairing someone's gun all before noon on any given day and be ready to sit and visit when company stopped by.Barry loved the outdoors and enjoyed watching the changing wildlife and eagerly awaited the return of the wood ducks and hummingbirds to his meticulously groomed yard. He took great pride in his garden and loved having the grandchildren share the bounty of fresh carrots, cucumbers and peas. Family was everything to him and he looked forward to all the phone calls and visits from relatives and friends and holiday gatherings.In lieu of flowers, donations to the Hemochromatosis Society or Tantallon Rink Fund in his name would be appreciated.A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m., on June 22, 2024, at the Tantallon Rink Hall, followed by interment at Holar Cemetery.Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of River Park Funeral Home, (306) 764-2727, Carla Jesso, Funeral Director, and Sarah Naytowhow.

Our fun loving and kind father, Ken Ogilvie, passed away peacefully with the love of his life, Noreen, by his side on Monday, May 13, 2024 at the age of 80 years. Ken leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife Noreen; children Jeff (Tanya), Heather (Regan), and Joanne (Matt); grandchildren Carter, Kiara, and Amara; sister Shirley (Darryl); sister-in-law Judy (Gerry); brother-in-law Norvin (Chris) and many nieces and nephews. Ken will be remembered for his quick wit and dedication to those he loved most. Ken was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB, where he met his wife, Noreen, at a school dance at the age of 16. Six years later they were married and just a few years later they welcomed two children, first Jeff then Heather, into their lives. Ken spent the next two decades building his career and doing what he did best, providing for his family. At the ripe age of 41, Joanne came along and really put the question of "how old is too old to have a child?" to the test. He built a business, B&E Industrial Electronics, which he maintained until his retirement. He enjoyed the fruits of his labor with trips to Maui with his wife and friends over the years. Ken spent much of his leisure time doing what we call "putzing". Whether it was tending to the garden, installing yet another solar light in the backyard or tinkering with some electronic device, he did so with a great sense of satisfaction and always with a cold beer or glass of red wine on the side. He spent Sundays with his family, keeping an eye on who was taking too much gravy at the supper table and reminding everyone that they must leave him with enough of our Mom's infamous stuffing leftovers every holiday meal. Ken was a dedicated member of Kinsmen and participated in many fundraising and volunteer events in his community. He loved spending time with his friends, going on annual hunting and fishing trips with his buddies, and taking his role of prank master very seriously. Ken was known for making people laugh, as a man of few words, he cared for those close to him deeply and let them know it one sarcastic joke at a time. Ken will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him because he was just that kind of guy. But he will be most greatly missed by his wife Noreen, who was with him to the very end. His memory will be cherished with every story told, laugh shared, and tear shed. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the COPD foundation. The family has decided not to have a service and ask that you raise a glass to Ken at your next get together. A big thank you to the staff at the Pasqua Hospital, William Booth and Parkside.

Elizabeth was called home to be with her Lord on Tuesday April 30, 2024, just shy of her 87th birthday. She leaves to mourn her the love of her life, Gordon Herman, her husband of 66 years, her children Gordon Herman Jr. (Corie), Donald Herman (Denise) and Joann Vander Ploeg along with six grandchildren, one great grandchild and many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by her parents Joseph and Mary Bernhauser, brother Bill Bernhauser, Bill's wife Donna, her infant brother, and son-in-law Andy Vander Ploeg. Born in Pense, SK on May 12, 1937, her parents work with the Canadian Pacific Railway would see her move to Stalwart and then Gibbs where she met Gordon. They married on June 29th, 1957 and begin their life long journey that would see them move to Winnipeg and finally to Calgary in 1965. Mom had a strong commitment to her faith. She was an active member of the C.W.L. for over 50 years, including being a past President, and could always be counted on to answer the call to volunteer. Whether planning an ordination celebration, assisting in making sandwiches for funerals or organizing the annual CFL Grey Cup Football Pool Mom was always at the ready, often enlisting her grandchildren in the endeavour. But Mom's true passion and joy was her family, especially her grandchildren. Her face would light up every time they were able to visit, which meant at least every Sunday for supper and perhaps a game of cards. But Mom's family was not limited to our immediate family. Our extended family included neighbours, relatives, borders, priests, nuns and, yes, the occasional stray animal be it a dog, bird or even a rabbit. All were welcome at her table and in her meticulous gardens which her and dad fussed over every year. Mom's love and kindness will be missed by all who knew her but we will be guided by the wonderful memories you gave us all. Prayers will be held Wednesday May 8, 2024, at 7:00 pm at St. Gerard's Church (8944 Elbow Dr SW, Calgary, AB). Her Funeral and Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday May 9, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Gerard's Church (8944 Elbow Dr SW, Calgary, AB). In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Elizabeth's memory to the SPCA or a charity of your choice.

Gladys Leola Eileen Pavo Penny (née Jones) passed away April 29, 2024 from the effects of a stroke. She enjoyed a long life full of family, learning, community service, travel, quilting and love of reading. Gladys was born July 22, 1934 in Riverhurst, SK to Jean (McLaughlin) Jones and James Cecil Jones. Later in life, she would tell people that she grew up on a ranch under Lake Diefenbaker, because the Lazy J Bar Ranch on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River was expropriated for the construction of the Gardiner Dam. She went on to become an elementary school teacher and raised a family in the Birsay area, returning to the University of Saskatchewan to complete a BA in 1984 and a Master of Divinity from St. Andrew's College in 1987. As an ordained United Church minister, Gladys served pastoral charges in Lethbridge, Carnduff/Glen Ewen, Fillmore/Osage and Abernethy/Lemberg, retiring in 2000. In that year, she remarried, to Abernethy farmer Kenneth Penny. Together they enjoyed life on the farm and then in Regina. Gladys was predeceased by her parents; sister Marlene and brother Robert.

Irene was born on May 2, 1940, in Lanigan, SK and died peacefully surrounded by her family in Regina on Friday April 12, 2024. She was predeceased by her loving husband Rick; parents Bill and Florence Luterbach; and brothers Don and Ed. Irene leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Valerie (Kimber); sons Terry, Murray, Robert and Michael; grandchildren David, Brendon (Kimber), Erik, Peter (Wall), Chantelle (Salt), Christopher (King), Cassandra (Brown), Curtis (King), Jesse (Nazarchuk) and Skylar (Wall); great-grandchildren Zoe, Miles, Owen, Nora, Audrey, Tatum, Korbin, Kesslynn, Tyrone, Carter, Sean and Arial; sisters Vivian (Leptich), Maxine (Joyce), Linda (Blain), Lois (Hodgson); and brothers Bob and George. Irene will be remembered for her seemingly endless energy and dedication to her family and friends. The door to her house was always open and relatives and friends were always welcomed with open arms and a hot meal. Irene was happiest when helping others. Whether she was supporting her kids' school and sports activities, organizing seniors bowling, or just helping out in the community, Irene was always willing to step up and lend a hand. Irene loved decorating for the holidays. It didn't matter what the occasion was, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, her house was always festive. She was also famous for her baking. Everyone looked forward to the holidays and family gatherings as there would always be a supply of freshly made buns and if you were really lucky mouthwatering cinnamon twists. Mom worked tirelessly for her family and friends and took particular joy in their successes but was always there to console and encourage when things did not turn out the way they wanted. As well as being a dedicated mother and wife, Irene worked outside the home part-time when the kids were young and full-time as a ward clerk at the Pasqua and General Hospitals when they got older. She is remembered by her co-workers for her dedication to doing the job right and her sense of humor and wit. Irene led a good and righteous life full of service to others. She will be greatly missed. A Funeral Service will be held at St. Anne Parish, 1701 Cowan Crescent, Regina, SK on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. A Graveside Service will be held at Neville Cemetery, Neville, SK at a later date.

Dad was born on January 2, 1924 on the family farm near Holdfast, SK. He was one of 21 children, 5 of whom died in infancy. He farmed in the Holdfast area until 1965 when he moved his family to Regina. He worked mainly as a mechanic, and also co-owned an auto repair/truck topper manufacturing business, until his retirement in 1985. After his retirement, he operated a small engine repair business from his garage. He loved spending time tinkering away and visiting with neighbours, friends and relatives who would pop in on a regular basis. He grew up in a home filled with music, and at 15 years of age, he picked up his brother's saxophone and learned to play by ear. He was in a band for most of his adult life, and was still playing his horn until a few weeks ago. Dad always looked forward to the regular Frohlick Family Reunions where he was treated like a rock star. Relatives both young and old were always eager to visit with him, and he enjoyed every minute of it. He and mom took many vacations with relatives to various destinations, including countless trips to other provinces to visit family. He loved to read about history and true stories, and would read the newspaper from front to back. Above all else, he loved spending time with his family. He was kind, caring, generous, compassionate and funny. He always had a smile on his face, and could often be heard whistling a happy tune or cracking a joke with his infectious laugh. He was very social and was able to make friends anywhere, anytime. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for 81 years, first with Holdfast council then with Father Burn's Council #5949. The family is thankful for the many friends he made at his home in Regina Village. We would also like to thank the staff of EMS, Emergency, Units 5A and 6A at the Regina General Hospital for the care dad received, as well as the staff at the Regina Lutheran Home where he spent a short time. Thank you to Father Okai, hospital Chaplains Jerry Fitzgerald, Jennifer Holtslander and Cliff Geiger for spiritual support. Also, a huge thank you to Dr. Stephen Bester and Shirley whose excellent care helped him reach his 100-year milestone. We would also like to thank Eileen Olson for the companionship and care she provided dad in the last several years, especially sharing his love of music. Dad was an amazing father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He had a wonderful life filled with millions of cherished memories, and was very blessed at 100-years of age to have still been living independently and with good health. He will be missed immensely.

He is survived by his loving wife of 12 years Linda Rose Schneikart; step-children Curtis (Crystal) Schneikart and Deborah Durand (David); elder sister Martha Kaczmar; younger sister Elaine Emke; brother-in-law Willie Kardash; younger brothers Ronald (Sharlene) and Donald (Tracy) whose memories, adventures, inside jokes and nicknames will hold special places in their hearts; his nephews: Raymond Lichazc, Ryan Lichacz and Joshua Emke; nieces Lynn (Sean) Burdeniuk and Brittany (Marvin) Hankins along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, close friends and the great-nephews and nieces. He had a knack for making friends easily and making all friends feel like his best friend. Glen always had a smile on his face and would take the time to have a friendly visit. He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his friends and family. He truly loved each of them - and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with pride, strength and full of love for those who went before him and those he left behind. He will be missed dearly. In typical Glen fashion, there will be a private graveside service, certainly no pomp and circ*mstance. A celebration of life will occur at a later date.

MESSER, Dr. Charles JamesIt is with immense sadness that we have said goodbye to our beloved father Dr. Charles Messer in his 88th year. Charlie passed away on Saturday, April 20, 2024 surrounded by the love of his family. While we are saddened by his passing, we are happy that he is no longer limited by the frailty of his body and know that he is now with his parents Samuel and Joy; brother Benny and his much-loved granddaughter Erin. Charlie is survived by his loving wife of 63 years Pui Fan; children Jacquie (Roger) Lepage, Karen (James) Engel and Juan (Mary Ellen) Messer; and his grandchildren: Sébastien (Karolina) Lepage, Madeline (Clinton) Griffiths, Lily (Dylan) Istace, Sophie Engel (Brody Debates), Angela (Taty) Mindana and Jack Messer. In the last three years dad was blessed with the arrival of his great-grandchildren Leopold Lepage, Hendrick Griffiths, Gabriel Lepage, and Isla Mindana. Regardless of the limitations that his illness brought, the sight of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren always brought a smile to his face. Dad was born in Bombay India on December 27, 1935. He received his medical training in India, and immigrated to England where he completed a surgical residency and later a specialization in psychiatry. Mom and dad met on the voyage to England and married a few months later. England brought the birth of three children and the start of dad's career in psychiatry. Mom and dad made the decision to immigrate to Canada in 1968, with dad accepting a position as a staff psychiatrist with Saskatchewan Health in Weyburn and then in North Battleford. After two years dad decided to establish a private practice and the family moved to Regina. Dad operated his practice in Regina until his retirement in 2015. Charlie was an incredible father and grandfather. Our children have fond memories of "loafing" with their grandpa to Shoppers Drug Mart to spend his points, watching hunting videos with him, and listening to his stories. Dad was always there for his family, and we never doubted that, except perhaps when he lost Sébby in Woolco. He was also an incredible psychiatrist well known for his direct and often humorous approach to most things. He was a force to be reckoned with when he believed in a cause. Dad was always the first to help the underdog. He was an innovator who did not fear pushing the boundaries for the good of his patients or his colleagues. He was incredibly generous with his skills, time, knowledge, and resources. Dad loved working with people and loved his profession. His professional accomplishments were many and we are so proud of all that he did. Dad was also an accomplished artist who was self-taught. He was also a slightly less accomplished musician, his entire repertoire being the tune "Tammy" which he could replicate on the accordion, harmonica, and keyboard. As children we have fond memories of weekend fishing trips with a bucket of KFC and camping holidays to the Black Hills or Yellowstone National Park. Dad taught us the value of generosity, both of spirit and resources. He recognized the differences in people and taught us that it was okay to be different. He encouraged us to pursue our dreams and reassured us that all would work out during difficult times. The values he taught will continue to live on in our family. His passing has left a huge Charlie-sized hole in our family! We are grateful for the loving care that was given to dad during his 4 ½ years by the care team at Harbor Landing Village. We are also grateful for the nurses and doctors in the Palliative Care Unit at the Pasqua Hospital whose kindness and compassion made a difference. Thank you to Kara, Regina, Haley, Ashley and the night team, Andrea, Charlene, and Sheila you were a blessing when we needed it most! A private interment will be held later this summer. For those wishing to commemorate Charlie, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Ranch Ehrlo Society, or the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan would be greatly appreciated.

COLLINS, H. WadeMarch 31, 1946 - April 12, 2024Wade died peacefully on April 12, 2024, in Victoria BC, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Ivy, son Dan (Alicia), daughter Heather (Eirik), brother Gary (Lynda), and sister Cheryl (Mel). He was predeceased by his parents, Harvey and Velma, and sister Trudy (Gord).Wade was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan. From a young age, Wade had a talent for fixing things and enjoyed working on engines (large and small). In the early days of their marriage, Wade and Ivy travelled often so Wade could participate in go-kart, snowmobile, and motorcycle races. Wade started working with Roll-O-Flex in 1970, and then accepted a position in prosthetics at Wascana Hospital in 1973. The family settled in Lumsden shortly after.In 1985, the family moved to Victoria, where Wade eventually purchased his dream home and property. Wade enjoyed watching Dan play hockey and Heather play softball. He spent time at Western Speedway where he sponsored sprint car drivers, and attended Victoria Cougars hockey games to cheer on the players billeted by the family.Wade opened his own Prosthetic Clinic in 1986, and the whole family pitched in over the years: Ivy managed the office, Dan worked as a technician, and Heather provided janitorial services. Wade loved helping others and greatly enjoyed interacting with his patients. It was difficult to convince him to retire, but he finally decided he was ready in 2014, at age 68. Wade donated his prosthetic equipment and supplies to the Compassionate Resource Warehouse, and the items were shipped overseas to deliver prosthetic services to those in need.In his retirement, Wade enjoyed puttering around the yard on his mini-excavator, working on his project vehicles in the garage, travelling with Ivy, visiting Dan and Alicia in Nova Scotia, and spending time with his cats.Wade was a kind man who loved to make people laugh, and he often shared stories about the many adventures he had throughout his life.

HOPSON, JamesJames Hopson (known more often as "Jim" or just "Hoppy") would always say he had a blessed life. Jim was born to parents Mabel and Jim Hopson Sr. in Regina, Saskatchewan, on March 1, 1951. Jim grew up living in a busy household. He was the oldest of five and had three sisters and a brother. Jim would often tell people he grew up in a small house on "5-Block Scarth Street" with no sewer and no water. He was extremely proud of where he came from and that he had spent his childhood years and a large part of his life living NOD (North of Dewdney), or in the North Annex, as it was known back then. Jim referred to his 92-year-old mother as their matriarch and the glue that held the family together. He loved her dearly and they spoke on the phone nearly every day. Jim will now be reunited with his father, Jim Sr., who passed away in 1985 at the age of 55. Jim went to Imperial Elementary School and Thom Collegiate, where he played football for the Thom Trojans. Jim then played with the Regina Rams under Coach Gord Currie, a man he loved and admired. It was Gord who suggested Jim should think about a career in education. Jim did just that, completing his Bachelor of Education Degree at the University of Regina, and later a Master of Education degree at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. Jim's interest in football opened many doors for him. In January 1970, at the young age of 18, he received a football scholarship to play at West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas. It was his first time on an airplane. While he only lived in Texas for one semester, the experience stayed with him for the rest of his years. Jim missed home, so he returned to Regina to play for the Regina Rams until 1972 and married his high school sweetheart. Jim's daughter Carrie was born in 1975, and his son Tyler was born in 1978. The early years were spent mostly in Lumsden, before the family moved briefly to Sturgis, and then ultimately back to Regina in 1989. Jim loved his children unconditionally and was so proud of them and the successful lives they are building. Jim's careers in education and football were intertwined throughout the years. He began teaching in Ceylon, SK., in 1972 while still playing with the Rams, and later he taught while playing with the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 1973 to 1976. Jim's 30-year career in education culminated with him becoming the Director of Education for the Buffalo Plains/Qu'appelle Valley School Division. In January of 2005, he became the first full-time President and CEO of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Jim's influence over the next ten years led to many successes for the team, on and off the field. These included record merchandise sales, season ticket sales, game day attendance, and four Grey Cup appearances. The highlights of most significance were winning the Grey Cup in 2007 in Toronto, and again in 2013 on home turf in Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. He retired in 2015, but continued to be an active member of several boards as it was important for him to continue to work with and for the community. In 2010, Jim married Brenda Edwards. Together, they lived life to the fullest until Jim's last day. Jim loved Brenda dearly, she was his best friend and soulmate. He was extremely appreciative of the care she provided for him over the past three years. Jim and Brenda were very happy to welcome Carrie's partner, Spencer Stewart, into the family in 2010. In 2014, Carrie and Spencer welcomed their daughter, Juliet. Juliet was the apple of her grandpa's eye. He had hoped for more time to watch her grow, but relished every moment they shared over the past 10 years. Along with Carrie, Spencer, and Juliet, Jim and Brenda also loved spending time with Spencer's older daughters Bethanie and Annalise. In 2013, Jim and Brenda were delighted to welcome Tyler's partner Ryan Geisler into the family. Ryan is a Registered Nurse at the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, and Jim was grateful for the counselling and advice provided by Ryan during these past few years as Jim lived with cancer. Jim lovingly referred to Tyler and Ryan as, "My Boys". Jim will be missed by his siblings Carol (Paul) Maurice, Wendy (Denis) Muehmel, Brian (Heather) Hopson, and Bonnie (Gary) Graham; as well as Brenda's sisters Holly Wilkes (Miles Kreklewetz) and Mitsi Fiissel (Tony Tkach). Jim was blessed with many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. He was a role model and inspiration to all of his family. Jim always enjoyed family get togethers, and had fond memories of camping, family birthday parties, and holiday gatherings. Jim was very happy to enjoy his retirement with Brenda, his family, and his friends at Last Mountain Lake, especially their days on the pontoon boat. Jim and Brenda were also able to enjoy their home in Mexico. In January of 2024, Jim was able to say his final goodbyes to all of the wonderful friends they had in Mexico. Mexico was definitely his "Hoppy" place. Jim loved life and always had a big smile; it was his signature trademark. He was and is the epitome of being positive and optimistic even on the darkest of days. When faced with his stage four colon cancer diagnosis on April 9, 2021, instead of lamenting "Why me?", he looked at Brenda and said, "Why not me?". He never thought he was special or exempt from hardships, and he had an amazing ability to change his perspective in a tough situation into one filled with hope, optimism, and a positive attitude. Jim was passionate about teamwork, acknowledging a job well done, and creating a culture of caring, empathy, hard work, and celebration. Jim was a unique individual, someone with great confidence and vision. Along with his confidence came the amazing and uncanny ability to always recognize the best in others and in all situations. Jim was always a take-charge type of guy and enjoyed getting things done. Over the years, Jim enjoyed hockey with the Lumsden Oilers, and up until a few weeks before he passed, he still met his hockey buddies for lunch to re-tell the same stories. He also played with the Buffalo Plains Hockey Team and for the LEADS group. In Jim's last game with them, he scored a goal, broke the blade off his skates and called it quits for good. He also enjoyed golf, but mainly the social aspect. Jim got so frustrated in his final game that he sent an official memo to his golf buddies indicating that he was quitting because he couldn't even throw the golf club properly when he was upset after another poor shot. Jim was blessed throughout his life with a large circle of friends. He worked hard to maintain his friendships over the years. Jim would regularly chat with Gary Wilson, whom he met in kindergarten. In their final conversation, Jim wanted to make sure Gary was doing okay. Even in his most difficult moments, Jim was always thinking about and caring for others. Jim was so humbled and grateful that family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and fans reached out to him regularly during these past few years. After much discussion, Jim and Brenda made the decision early on after his diagnosis to speak out publicly about Jim's cancer, hoping that it may save the lives of others. The outpouring of love and support, daily messages, texts, phone calls, cards and visits were tremendous. They truly meant the world to Jim and his family. Jim and his family would like to thank all of the wonderful staff at the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, including Dr. Mirjana Zarkovic and her team, along with the Palliative Home Care nursing angels who provided such excellent care. Jim loved life, he was full of life, and he was truly loved. Jim was a man with dreams and a dreamer who made things happen. Always with that big smile on his face. Seems as if he had things figured out… "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away" Pablo Picasso. A Celebration of Life will be held at Conexus Arts Centre, 200 Lakeshore Dr, Regina, SK on Friday, May 3, 2024. The formal program will begin at 3:00 p.m. followed by a "Hoppy Hour" at approximately 4:30 p.m. with tribute remarks and a final toast to Jim. The program will be live-streamed. All attending are welcome to wear their Rider gear.

He attended St. Louis College and went on to work at Robin Hood where he met his first love, Mary Osadchuk. They married on August 15, 1959 and soon started a family with the birth of Michele, followed by Leslie and Terri. He made many friends while working at Western Drilling in Moose Jaw and at ITT Grinnell. Doug, a devoted family man, took his family across Western Canada many times on vacations to spend time with their extended family many times. He and Mary devoted their free time to the Sprigs O' Heather Girls Pipe Band where Doug was band manager. With the pipe band, the family travelled across Canada and the United States, as far east as Nova Scotia, and several trips to Couer D'Alene, Idaho. Doug and Mary loved to travel through B.C. in the fall and would spend their vacations in Kelowna and Vancouver, bringing back all sorts of fruit to share with friends and family.Doug and Mary relocated to Saskatoon in 1981 where Doug continued his work with ITT Grinnell. Doug was a friendly man, making good friends wherever he lived. Doug enjoyed "puttering" and one of the funniest memories he had was when he lived in Saskatoon and was working in his garage and a stranger came in and asked, "how much do you want for this junk?" thinking that Doug was having a garage sale (he wasn't).Doug and Mary re-located to Regina in 1999 and were known for their prolific garden, again sharing the bounty of their harvest with friends and family. Mary passed away in 2005 and soon thereafter Doug found his second love when he met, and then married, Gayle Wirth.Doug retired from Grinnell in 2007 and enjoyed retirement with Gayle, spending several winters in the Dominican Republic and special visits with their daughter, Tara, in California. Doug and Gayle spent their first years of marriage in White City and then returned to Regina. Doug decided to re-join the workforce and drove for Enterprise, where he embodied the motto, "we'll pick you up".Doug and Gayle spent their golden years together with their fur-baby Daisy, and made many friends. Doug continued to enjoy puttering and gardening, being proud of having the best lawn on the block.After Doug's cancer diagnosis, he was fortunate to receive compassionate care from his doctors and palliative care nurses. Doug's family is particularly appreciative of the kindness and compassion extended to him, Gayle and Terri in his last days from the doctors and nurses at the Palliative Care Unit at Pasqua Hospital. There are truly angels among us.Doug leaves to mourn his passing and will be lovingly remembered by his beloved and cherished wife Gayle and her daughter Tara Marie (Brian) of San, Diego, CA; his daughter Michele (Stephen) and her daughter Taylor, his daughter Leslie (Gary) and her three sons Kevin, Michael and David, daughter Terri (Ron) and her daughter Lauren; his sister Patricia Elliot, and five great- grandchildren.At Doug's request, there will be no service.

FARQUHAR, James "Morris"On Thursday, April 4, 2024, James "Morris" Farquhar passed away unexpectedly at his home in Regina.

While school age, both he and his brother, Murray, started studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. During this time, at age 17, he began his employment with Canadian National Railways as a telegrapher. His work took him across the prairie provinces and from Churchill Manitoba into northern Ontario and the lake head area. All the while, he kept actively studying the Bible and was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1961. In 1963, Morris tried farming, but he went back to CNR in 1964, however, this time on the running crew as a brakeman/conductor until his retirement.Morris met Elizabeth Listmayer in September 1962 and married her on August 24, 1963, and together they shared their faith with their four children, friends, and neighbours. They lived in three provinces, making lifelong friendships along the way. While he was known to have many a story about his time on the railway, he enjoyed hiking, camping, and loved nature, sharing his interests with his children and grandchildren. He was always willing to lend a hand, the type of person to give the shirt off his back and offer his jacket too. He never went anywhere empty handed and did not believe in uncomfortable silences. He took his spiritual responsibility seriously and did what he could to educate many and offer guidance from God's Word in a way that many respected.While we will miss him dearly, we look forward to the promise that we will see Dad and Mom reunited and enjoying life as Jesus, Our Ransomer, promised at John 5:28, 29; "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs, will hear his voice and come out…to a resurrection of life."A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2020 Van Egmond Place, Regina, SK.

ROY, Margaret Irene1927-2024With great sadness, the family of Irene Roy announces her death in Saskatoon on April 12, 2024, surrounded by her family.Irene lived a long and beautiful life, filled with family, art, books, and growing things. She was the eldest of eight children raised by her parents, Anne and Aloysius (Louie) Schnell, on a farm near North Portal, Saskatchewan. She completed high school in Estevan and then worked as a teacher in North Dakota. In 1949, she met and married Wilfred Roy, who had served in the RCAF during the Second World War. They had a wonderful life together, raising their six children and farming near Lampman, Saskatchewan, in partnership with Wilfred's brother George and Irene's sister Patricia.As well as cooking creative meals and caring for her family, Irene created an oasis on the farm, planting hundreds of trees and building a rock garden filled with beautiful plants. She was a visual artist, working in water colours and oils and then turning to fabric art, first with batik and then for many years with exquisite, complex quilts. She was a voracious reader, reading the best of new fiction in Canada and around the world. She loved listening to classical music and the Saturday afternoon opera, and she enforced an "only CBC radio in the house" rule. At the same time, Irene was very much involved in the Lampman community, serving on the local and regional library boards, participating in bridge clubs, and working tirelessly for the Lampman Legion Auxiliary and Catholic Women's League. One of her memorable accomplishments was designing the stained glass windows in the Lampman Catholic church. In 1993, she visited her grandparents' village in Ukraine, and in recent years she was very troubled by the conflict there.As her grandchildren and great-grandchildren arrived, Irene enjoyed spending time with them and keeping up with their activities on social media. When Wilfred declined in health due to Alzheimer disease, she cared for him lovingly for fifteen years. In her later years, she moved to live in a house in Estevan, and then to Saskatoon. Looking out over the river from her beautiful apartment, she continued to quilt and then turned to creating smaller fabric wall hangings as quilting became more difficult. She involved herself in the community at Riverside Terrace, participating in the bridge club and the reading, singing, and scrabble groups, and of course planting a container garden, until declining health made these activities impossible. Irene especially enjoyed watching the sunset over the river, as she had over the west-facing pasture on the farm.Irene is survived by her children, Remi (Natalia Grebenuk), Jennifer Miller (Garth), Jeffrey (Shirley), Jocelyn Ayers (Larry), Marcia Hirsch (Stanley), and Wendy (Garth Cantrill), as well as by her siblings Patricia Roy, Gerald Schnell, Richard Schnell, Marlene Lisafeld, Paula Fischer, and David Schnell. She is lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Uliana, Vladimir, Alexandra, Tim, Rhett, Nolan, Desai, Tamara, Kristen, Meagan, Dagan, Rachel, Kara, and Meshon, as well as by seventeen great-grandchildren, and by her sisters- and brothers-in-law and many loving nieces and nephews on both the Schnell and Roy sides of the family. She was predeceased by her parents and by her husband, Wilfred, her grandson, Aaron Hirsch, her great-granddaughter, Olivia Hirsch, and her brother, Raymond.The family would like to thank the staff at the palliative care unit of St. Paul's Hospital. A memorial service is planned for the Lampman-Estevan area this summer. Those wishing to make donations in Irene's honour may do so through the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society, or a charity of their choice.To share memories and condolences please visit www.saskatoonfuneralhome.com . Arrangements are in care of Saskatoon Funeral Home. (306) 244-5577.

Jan 1, 1923 - Jan 1, 2024It is with deep sorrow that we announce our beloved mom and Oma's passing on Monday, April 8, 2024, with her daughter at her side, and her grandson's music "playing her out". She remained feisty and stubbornly insistent on keeping her independence until she finally moved from the house she shared with our dad, into a senior's complex at the age of 99. Many wonderful old and new friends and neighbours continued to visit her, and she was so thrilled whenever anyone dropped in or called her. She celebrated a grand birthday first, however, in the year preceding her eventual move to her condo at College Park II. It was an early celebration "just in case she doesn't make 100", because no one, and we mean nobody, figured she would keep trucking along until 3 weeks before what would have been her 101st. She was indomitable and wasn't quite yet ready to chase after dad.Mom lived a fascinating early life in Indonesia until her family relocated to Holland where she was educated and rose from classroom teacher to principal. She met our dad Gerald (deceased 2018) through her brothers, and he was - according to him - immediately enamored with the dark-eyed, beautiful girl. Everyone was heavily impacted by WW2 and mom shared some of the stories of starvation, fear and secrecy. Yet, there was never a bitter bone in her body, despite the war's barbarity.Dad wanted a new adventure, and mom capitulated and married him before he hopped on the boat to Canada, and she followed months later to begin an overwhelming new life as an immigrant. She was a devoted and loving - and incredibly strict - mom who found time (how, we can only surmise) to sing in the choir, play bridge, bowl and win at badminton tournaments, grow a splendid flowerbed, chauffeur kids to activities, cheer (and critique) from the sidelines, and always unfailingly share her kindness and endless hours to help with charities and the War vets. Mom raised 5 sons and a daughter, often on her own as dad travelled the world for his work. She could bake an apple pie that would knock your socks off (and we don't think she 'really' ever shared all of her secrets), and a lemon pie that put anyone else's to shame. Mom was a magician in the kitchen, a knitter and seamstress of fine clothing, and could stretch a pot of stew to feed not just us, but anyone else we brought home. Oma adored little ones and embraced all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren with supreme bliss. Daily, she continued to delight in her treasured "boys", still dancing with them while they whirled her around in her wheelchair over protests of mock terror, and she laughed with happiness. Mom loved flowers, birds, dragonflies, butterflies, and animals of any kind. She waited with anticipation for her goodnight call every evening, and her day wasn't complete until she received that. She could hardly wait for the next road trip in the truck to see all the secret and beautiful gems in the "back forty". With a Doodle on her lap, a bag of cheezies or sausage roll in hand, and a Robin's coffee waiting to cool, she thrilled in witnessing Saskatchewan's magnificent landscapes. Even as the dreadful clutches of dementia whittled away at her in her final year, Mom still loved watching clouds and learning how to identify a wetland. And yes, she "offered" her opinions on just about ... Anything!Our parents' friendship groups, especially the Gyros and Gyrettes, unwaveringly included mom until she was no longer easily mobile, and she appreciated so much every phone call, card or plant that found a place on her windowsill. Thank you. Her neighbours watched out for her in her declining years before she moved, and it brought us comfort to know she was never forgotten. Lawrence kept her well-plied with health recommendations and was a key person to her longevity (along with her cabinet of 1001 health products). Mom had many friends who loved her unrelenting competitiveness in Bridge and bowling. Finally, her devotion let her see light anywhere and in anyone, and her Church's congregation never lost their importance. Marlene sang and read scripture to mom in her last days and we are so appreciative.We especially want to thank mom's homecare and foot nurses for their exceptional care. They showered her with love, patience (because she could try them!) and tenderness. Mom ADORED Krysta, Darcy and Nicole, they lit up her days with laughter while they all swapped tall tales. These beautiful people made mom feel like she was still important in this world. Thank you to the new friends she acquired at College Park II, the staff and care aids who kept mom involved (whether she liked it or not) and attended to her needs. She was a longtime patient of Dr. Goyal and the staff at the Regina Community Clinic where she was always treated with the utmost respect and a great deal of humour (because by gum, she could be saucy). Mom outlived so many but is still survived by two sisters and three sisters-in-law, not to mention innumerable extended family. Her grandchildren will undoubtedly tell "Oma Stories" to their children, and those great-grandchildren to theirs; Oma's legacy should keep soaring for a long time because there are A LOT of generations bound to follow.We have undoubtedly missed so many others who were integral to mom's life; you know who you are and be assured that your time with mom, every debate you probably lost (go figure, mom was obsessed with US politics!), and every delighted smile and twinkle of her eyes she bestowed on you, was because you were important. She saw good in everyone!Mom was ours, but she shared herself with everyone else as well. She was "Oma", plain and simple, to young and older alike. We are beyond grateful to all of you who brought her joy.Mom and Oma. Your journey on this earth is over now, and you have already long arrived at where you wanted to go. We hope your path there was light and lovely and warm. And when you took that last look over your shoulder as you left, we know you felt one more time how incredibly you were loved, and always will be.A service to honour our cherished mom and Oma will be announced in the near future.

In her retirement Eileen and Floyd made several trips to Nashville and enjoyed dancing with their many friends in round and square-dancing clubs. Eileen was a strong person of faith and a very kind and giving person. She was always concerned about others going through challenges and would often reach out to help. She loved her mom, dad, sisters and brothers, and nephews and nieces and kept in close touch as much as she could. Her family and her grandkids were very special to her, and she talked to them regularly and was always interested in what they were doing and making sure they were okay. The last year was difficult for her, when she had lost her husband Floyd. But she maintained a very positive attitude even when she became ill and she was very polite and appreciative of what others did for her. The family would like to thank the Doctors at the Regina General Hospital, and all of the staff at the Elmview Special Care Home. Eileen was provided with excellent care throughout her journey and the family is very thankful for all the support we received. We would also like to thank the many friends and family who came to visit Eileen or to send their thoughts and prayers. It made her days brighter to see familiar faces and to know that so many people were thinking of her. A Funeral Service will be held at a date to be determined this spring/summer in Regina, SK.

QAYYUM, Abdul May 14, 1937 – March 26, 2024With sadness and acceptance we announce that Abdul Qayyum, passed away after recent medical complications. He was predeceased by all of his five older sisters, his younger brother Shamsul Hoda, his niece and nephew, Razia and Kamal and nephew Faisal. He is survived by his wife Qudsia, his children Shehla (Tarique), Saba (Daniel), Andaleeb (Iman), Adnan (Humera) and six grandchildren whom he adored—Mikhaiel, Aydin, Aniya, Sana, Sabreena and Zayn. Many nieces, nephews (Nehal et al.), in-laws (Zaeem family; Taqui family), and special friends from Regina and throughout Canada, the U.S., the U.K., India, and Pakistan remember him with fondness. He was proud to be a Regina resident for over 45 years and participated in a variety of community activities. He travelled far and wide both for adventure and kinship. Recent trips to the Hoover Dam and Panama Canal re-ignited his love for engineering marvels. His Engineer's ring never came off after graduation, a symbol and reminder to every engineer of their responsibility to society.Born in a small village in Bihar, India, Abdul was sent to boarding school in East Pakistan (after the separation from India of two distinct countries, known as 'partition'). His father, a restaurant owner, saw education as a solid and enduring path to a better life for his children. Young Abdul applied himself fully, and developed a love of playing soccer and tennis (becoming the biggest fan of Wimbledon). He would later have tennis courts built when working as a civil engineer in different parts of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). When civil war broke out in 1971, he and his young family witnessed violence and atrocities but through his ingenuity, he was able to save his family and return to his home country of India. Though his life was shaped by geopolitical circ*mstances, he remained the master of his own decisions, carving opportunities in the midst of immense hardship. Leaving his family with relatives, he set abroad to Winnipeg, Canada and returned to university to complete graduate studies in Engineering at the U of M. He concurrently taught adult education at Red River Community College where he first interfaced with Indigenous communities and noted both similar and different impacts of colonization between his homeland of India and his new home country of Canada. He greatly admired the commitment of the chiefs he met. They also treated him to his first snowmobile ride on the frozen lakes of northern Manitoba.Once his family arrived in Canada two years later, the pace of life quickened and the family moved to Thompson, MB for Papa's first Canadian professional Engineering job. The family quickly integrated to Canadian life—forming enduring friendships, enjoying many outdoor activities in northern Manitoba. After a permanent move to Regina, summer holiday road trips with his young family to various destinations in Canada and the U.S. sealed a love for the great North American landscape. Picnics and barbeques at Buffalo Pound Lake, Echo valley….slowed time enough to savour the long sun-drenched Saskatchewan afternoons. Lively conversations with his young kids at the dinner table were his way of instilling intellectual curiosity, critical thinking ("go ahead, make your point") and healthy regard for self and others.Papa's love of history, politics, classical writings, and reciting Persian, Urdu, and English poetry were revered by his friends at private gatherings and at formal readings. He was both a proud Indian and Canadian and believed in fully integrating and contributing to Canadian society. For him, living in Canada and being Canadian meant the possibility of realizing our full human potential.Though socially gregarious, he remained humble about his achievements. In a quest to harmonize his faith tradition in Canada, he served as president of the Islamic Association of SK., Regina chapter, and later as a board member. As well, he was instrumental in developing the first Islamic Center in the nascent Regina muslim community. He held leadership positions in Engineering and Geotechnical associations in the province. We incidentally discovered his co-authored professional Engineering text at Queen's University library and his original published research in materials engineering. His work for the province led him throughout his beloved Saskatchewan, always taking time to get to know the locals over lunch or coffee, with the Red Bull Restaurant in Radisson being a favourite. After retirement, he taught Engineering courses at the U of R and spent a good portion of his time travelling in Europe andacross North America with his wife. As a longtime marriage registrar, he officiated many weddings including those of his four adult children.Papa's philosophy that he passed on to us is to pursue, persevere, and build our individual potential so we may contribute positively to our own lives and to others in our community and our world ("faith and good deeds"). Papa lived an exciting and satisfying life rooted in faith, family, and community and we are blessed to have been a part of his journey. Among his oft repeated sayings to us was one by St. Jerome-- "Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better, best." Service is a work of love, having lived a purposeful life with honour, you have served your family and community well. Continuing on the noble path to the Divine, may God be pleased with you as his ever-devoted servant.Funeral prayers and a private burial were held on March 28 in Ottawa where our parents were spending the winter with family. In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates any donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or volunteering in your community. We would like to thank the staff at Jami Omar Masjid in Ottawa who showed great care in guiding our family through this difficult process. Special gratitude to Dorothy and Cliff Zabolotney, Regina neigbours for 45 years—trustworthy, dependable and always there.

THACKERAY, Linda Eva (nee Wentland)July 17, 1926 - March 24, 2024It is with much love that we announce the passing of our dear Mom on Sunday, March 24, 2024 at the age of 97 years. Mom was predeceased by her husband Ken; parents Adam and Elizabeth Wentland; brothers Gus Wentland (Laura) and Bernard Wentland; sisters Hertha Dilworth (Len) and Betty Clark (Fred); brothers-in-law Gilles Belliveau and Marcel Fontaine and grandson Blair Taylor. Left to cherish her memory are her children Sandra Taylor (TV) and Jerry Thackeray (Annette); grandchildren Shawn Classen (Lisa White), Bradley Classen (Tiffany Bertrand), Jarett Taylor, and Rachielle Thackeray (Jonny Golden); great-grandchildren Desmond, Alden, Kaila (Taron), Cameron, Skylar (Cody), Ashton, Corban, Evan, Matthew (Jordana), Taylur (Blake), Carter and Abby; great-great-granddaughter Sawyer; as well as extended family and friends. Mom believed in hard work and that whatever your job you should take pride and do it well. For many years she worked in customer service for Sears. During that time, she also began to work part time as concession worker for the Regina Exhibition Association and later assumed a supervisory role. When she wasn't working a concession at a hockey game, concert or other event, she enjoyed doing ceramics, sewing, crocheting, playing crib, and watching the soaps. She called them "her stories". She dabbled in gardening and enjoyed decorating her home and kept it immaculate. She was all about cooking and baking for her family and friends. She loved hosting holiday meals, special occasions and family meals. She was the "glue" of our family. Mom also loved her sports. She loved watching curling and loved watching the Blue Jays. But as we all know her true passion was football. The Riders were her team. She always wore her Rider green on game day. She bled green and I'm sure her eyes turned green on game day. Mom and Dad enjoyed travelling all across Canada and into parts of the United States. Camping in the earlier years and later on bus trips and a few airline trips to Florida and Hawaii. The family would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to Dr. Stephen Bester for not only the many years of exceptional medical care and compassion he provided to mom and dad but also for his friendship and guidance to our family. We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Cecelia and her staff at Allegro Personal Care Homes for their kindness and care for Mom over the last two years. We'd like to thank the Emergency Department and the nurses on 3D of the Pasqua Hospital. We'd also like to send special thanks to all the nurses in the Palliative Care Unit. A special thank you in particular to Dr. Greg Baumann and nurses Carolyn and Janice of the Palliative care unit. Your compassion and care for both mom and our family was greatly appreciated. A Service Celebrating Linda's Life will be held at Regina Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4001 East Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Mom may be made to the charity of your choice.

She completed her Bachelor of Education degree mid-career while raising three young children and continuing to teach part-time. While Elaine absolutely loved teaching, she retired in 1998 to spend time with her grandchildren. Her family was always Elaine's biggest joy and source of pride. Every summer, Elaine, Harry (also a teacher), and their three daughters would go camping. Weeks were spent with extended family, predominantly on Sushwap Lake in British Columbia. She loved sitting around a campfire or on the beach, knowing this family time would be fondly recounted for decades. Elaine was known for her quirky sense of humour, honest communication style, avid reading, generous spirit, and welcoming approach towards all people especially those belonging to marginalized identities. She was a woman of great strength and passed this quality onto her daughters. Elaine will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Michelle, Wendy (David) and Jessica; grandchildren Greta and Jonah; siblings Delia and Jean; and many nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law, friends, and neighbours.

ALLEN, Robert "Bob" William, DVMPassed away peacefully on Sunday March 17, 2024, in Prince Albert, SK at the age of 73. Bob was predeceased by his parents Keitha Allen (2005), Sydney "Syd" Allen (2009), and his nephew Derek Allen (2021).Bob was the fourth of six children born to Syd and Keitha Allen. He was raised on the family farm three miles south of Abernethy, SK alongside siblings John, Doug, Jim, Sandra, and Greg. Bob's childhood days were of a simpler time filled with hard work doing chores, fixing fence or the machinery, haying in the summer in the heat, tending livestock, chickens, and bees, roaming the coulees behind the house, and visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.After graduating high school at age 17, he was out the door and off into the world. He joined a crew of like-minded Saskatchewan kids to venture into custom harvesting in the United States, he continued to work hard and managed to play harder. His continuing adventures found him working underground in gold mines in the North and as a farm labourer. Regardless of where he was, Bob always returned to his childhood home to help on the family farm.He attended the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, going back a few years later to obtain his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1981. He began his career in private practice alongside his brother Doug for approximately eight years in Prince Albert and area, finding the job rewarding. He genuinely enjoyed the producers he met while taking care of their livestock, making many acquaintances and lifelong friends along the way.A career shift happened when he left private practice to work for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to have more time for family. What he thought would be a temporary change that would turn into twenty plus years. Upon leaving the CFIA, he worked for a summer as a farm hand, then took a turn with Habitat for Humanity. But veterinary medicine would prove difficult to let go, and he opened an ambulatory vet practice, once again serving the producers and friends he previously had done before retiring once and for all.He never forgot where he came from, who raised him, or the values that were instilled as a young man growing up on the family farm. When people would ask him about himself, he would almost always reply, "I'm just a plough boy." Beneath a humble demeanour and attentive ear, Bob had a clever wit rich with adages, a warm laugh, and a self-motivated talent for games and sport - all of which he generously shared with family and friends. He was a man of few words, but a man of great integrity. Qualities that he has passed down to his sons.Bob is survived by his wife Jill and the family that filled him with such joy.His three sons: Chris (daughter Lucy); Ryan (wife Heather, daughters Josie and Clara); and Jay (wife Madison).His siblings: Brothers: John (Betty), Doug (Aleta), Jim (Della), Sandra, Greg (Ida), and their families.His in-laws: Mother-in-law: Joan, Sisters-in-law: Colleen (Rick), Cheryl, Tami (Darcy), Lori (Bob), Shari (Kevin) and their families.A pillar of our family, you will forever remain in our hearts. We love you.A private family gathering will be held to celebrate Bob's life.

MELLOR, Virginia Woody (English)1929 – 2024"Beyond Love"Virginia Mellor, the matriarch of our family, passed on March 24, 2024 with her family around her, after living 94 years filled with many accomplishments, hard times, and good times. Virginia was predeceased by her husband Thomas Mellor. She is survived by her sons Bryan (Joanne) Mellor, and Kevin Mellor; her grandchildren Jaime Mellor, Chris (Sara) Mellor and Aaron (Cara) Mellor, Montana Mellor, Kayman Mellor; and great- grandchildren Kerighan Mellor, Madison Mellor, Mani Mellor, Mason Mellor, and Kinley Mellor. Mom worked for SaskTel for 35 years and met our dad, Tom Mellor, while working at the crown corporation. They got married in 1958 and never looked back, making a living for themselves in Regina and raising their two sons. Both mom and dad loved to dance and were long time members of the Wascana Golf and Country Club. Golf was mom's passion and she competed in club, city, and provincial golf competitions. In 1969, mom was the Wascana Golf and Country Club's ladies golf champion. She held that title with pride. Mom passed her passion for golf onto her sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. When you entered her home, it was often to the sound of the Golf Channel. She loved watching golf every weekend and especially the majors. Mom was born in Virginia and was immensely proud of her American heritage. Their family moved from Virginia to Saskatchewan in the early 1900's and homesteaded on land north of Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. Mom grew up in the dirty 30's and went through high school while World War II was in full swing. She knew the value of a dollar and knew how to save. When we wanted money for candy at the local confectionary mom would only give us exactly what we needed whilst dad gave enough for us and all of our friends. This taught us the value of a dollar but also to ask dad first.Mom will be greatly missed by her family and those who knew and loved her. She personally would like to thank all of the caregivers at the Marion Chateau, the Williston, Sunset Place Care Home and Sunset Long Term Care Home. In particular, she and her family would like to thank all of the nurses and aides on unit 5F at the Regina General Hospital including Dr. Williams and Dr. Van Rooyen. These professionals made mom's life enjoyable and without pain in the last days of her life. We know that our mother has now joined our father and her siblings in heaven and will once again cause havoc with dad, Jim and Ida, Fran and Don, CB and Betty, Ralph and Mary and Mike. She was from the greatest family that ever lived in Saskatchewan and will make heaven a better place. Aunt Joyce (Mike-deceased) and Aunt Elaine (Arthur) will miss their sister immensely. We will all work together to keep the English and Mellor name alive. We say goodbye to our mother for now but take solace in knowing that we will see her, our dad and her siblings and our uncles and aunts again and will always love them. Our feelings for them is "beyond love". A celebration of life will be held on May 4, 2024 for close friends and family at the Wascana Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers donations in the memory of Virginia may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, 100-119 14 Street NW Calgary, AB T2N 1Z6. Love "The Mellor-English" Family.

CHANADY, Attila Family is grieving the unexpected and quick passing of Attila Chanady on March 22, 2024 in the emergency room of the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon at the age of 92. He received excellent care and almost to the end was still the consummate professor, trying, between increasingly struggling breaths, to educate us about the impact of climate change on the life of the oceans. The last words we remember were about bioluminescence and the Mariana Trench.Attila and his older brother, Gabriel (Gábor) were born in Budapest, Hungary to their mother, Erzébet/Elisabeth, who was a kindergarten teacher, and father, Árpád Csanády, who was an engineer. Their lives were much impacted by the war, eventually leaving Budapest on the last train before the complete encirclement of the city by the Russian army. They escaped via Austria into Germany and as refugees were boarded with the Richter family in Amberg, where Attila met his future wife, Ruth Dickel, who was visiting her sister. Attila briefly returned to Budapest to continue training with the Hungarian junior Olympic swim team but disliked living under Russian occupation and escaped a second time to Germany. He and many other refugees (including his brother) left a war-destroyed Europe for a better future on a crowded migrant ship, landing in in a refugee camp in Sydney, Australia. Attila was able to get out of the camp when he secured work with a private synchronized swimming team, which provided him the resources to complete his schooling. He never lost contact with Ruth, and after a few years returned to Germany to marry her in1953. Their first daughter, Amaryll, was born in Germany, and was brought in a laundry basket onto the ship back to Australia. Two more daughters (Lilian and Barbara) were born in Melbourne while Attila attended University while working multiple jobs and selling eggs from the chickens they kept in the back yard to support the growing family. After two years (1962-64) in Germany doing research for his PhD the family ended up back in Australia, and then moved to Dunedin, NZ, in 1966 where Attila got his first teaching job in the Department of History at the University of Otago. After five years there Attila got a job with the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan, Regina campus, arriving in September 1970 and working there until his retirement in 1998, after which he and Ruth moved to Saskatoon in October 2000 be closer to family.Attila was always a keen environmentalist, taking on many volunteer positions including President of Nature Saskatchewan. A notable retirement project was the researching and writing of his book For the Love of Nature: A History of the Saskatoon Nature Society 1980 – 2005, published in 2009. In his last years he became an avid and impassioned reader of environmental science and the impact of climate change and human activity on ocean health. He was also a protector of wild creatures, maintaining a well-stocked bird feeder and going on many birding expeditions. We remember him carefully catching a mouse in the house and transporting it a few blocks to a new sheltered location to live out its life. More recently Attila "adopted" the resident Snowshoe Hare, whom he lovingly named Hopsi, feeding him fresh carrots and reporting proudly on visits from Hopsi and his furry family members. Attila also always had an affinity for other refugees, striking up friendships with people from all over the world. He was particularly fond of Lucho from the Golden Pagoda restaurant, distracting him from his work with animated discussion. His other favorite restaurant was Konga Café with spicy Jamaican food that reminded him of his Hungarian heritage… and of course, he appreciated the warm hugs he received from Ellen whenever he visited. In recent years he also loved the cooking of his grandson-in-law Colton Fehr.Attila's greatest joy over time became his growing family, with six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and much-loved young members of the extended Thorpe family in Saskatoon. He had much hoped to survive to the birth of the newest great-grandchildren this summer, Sofia and the twins (affectionately called Nib and Nob), although he already stated before going to hospital that this was unlikely (based on his own extensive and frequently discussed review of the impact of his heart, lung problems, and age on his life expectancy).Attila was predeceased by his wife, Ruth, all seven of her siblings and their spouses, his brother, and his parents. He leaves behind his three daughters: Amaryll (Alain), Lilian (Doug), and Barbara (John); six grandchildren: Katie, Marian (Colton), Tara, Emma (Al), Christina (Brennan), and Alex(Roman); and two great-grandchildren: Addison and Avery.The family thanks the many people who cared for Attila, especially the staff at RUH Emergency, Herold Road Family Physicians, and Sandy from Luther Care Communities.He will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Doctors Without Borders or the Nature Conservancy of Canada.There will be a Celebration of Life later in the summer.Arrangements are entrusted to Saskatoon Funeral Home.

Bruce was born on December 14, 1938, to Dorothy (Dean) Ray in Moose Jaw, SK.

Even though he lived in the big city for the last 23 years of his life, his heart and soul remained back at home. He lived and breathed the seasons on the farm, the running water and mud in the spring, the promise of sprouting fields, and the smell of ripening wheat, and he couldn't wait to return for his next visit. Bruce and Hazel defied the odds, became engaged after six weeks of dating, and were forever joined at the hip. During their 57 years of devotion, they raised two daughters, Lianne and Cheryl. While they continued to farm, they were very involved in the town of Rouleau, volunteering at the rink and enjoying the company of many friends.

Jan 1, 1928 - Jan 1, 2024It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing from this life, of our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Della Mae Kate Magnus (née Church) on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at the age of 95 years.Della Mae will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her daughter Jacqueline Hagel (Greg); their four children, Jarrett (Mandie) Hagel and great-granddaughters Aidin, Emma Mae (named after her) and Sophie; Kaleb; Zachary (Lourdes) and great-grandson Bennett; Mikayla (Madison); her son Michael Magnus and his son Daniel (Gonca); her sister Lois Gurney in Tennessee; as well as numerous extended family, nephews, nieces, and friends.She was predeceased by her parents, James and Arrie Church; husband Ervin Magnus; and siblings Nella Fae Church, David (Lois) Church, Claude (Grace) Church, Anna Miller, Stella (James) Smiley, June (Lynn) Hedger, and Marjorie Church.Della was born November 1, 1928, in Mountain City, Tennessee to James and Arrie Church, a family of nine children and seven half siblings from James' first marriage to Sarah Arnold. The family planted and harvested beans, as Johnson County was known to be the bean capital of the states and the soil was such that crops yielded well. James also operated the area's molasses still which was known to be both an art and science. Music was central in the family and the banjo was the instrument that gathered family and friends. James (father), Mitchell (brother) and nephews, Denver and Porter, were well-known for their musical skills and the claw-hammer style of playing. That talent saw Nashville and some of those skills went on to play alongside some of the famous fathers of bluegrass music including Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs and Rascal Flatts. Family gatherings with shared food, games, laughter and dancing were happy times and breaks from the hard work with an all-hands-on-deck attitude that gathered them to work together as a family.Della's favorite childhood memories were made at summer camp (Children's Bible Mission Camps) where she developed her deep faith and love for Jesus, the cornerstone in her life. As young Della graduated from Johnson County High School, she went on to Southeastern College in Birmingham, Alabama where she earned her Bachelor of Theology (1952) and began her career as missionary, educator, program and curriculum developer, and radio broadcaster. The young graduate was recruited by West Indies Mission (1953) and travelled to begin her work in the Dominican Republic and Cuba. There she worked with Ervin's cousin, Irene Fisher, who introduced Della and Ervin by mail. After years of exchanging love letters and a life-long love deeply rooted, the revolution in Cuba began and mom was forced to return to the United States. This became Della and Ervin's first meeting and the continuation of their love story.June 10, 1961, Della Mae married Ervin, the love of her life, in Mountain City, Tennessee, and they began their family life together in Tisdale, SK. They operated a grain and oilseeds farming business (e.g., wheat, flax, canola) where Della and Ervin worked as partners in all areas of their lives. They had two children, Jacqueline and Michael, and enjoyed a full family life in Tisdale with many extended trips across the United States and Canada visiting and connecting with family, sight-seeing and adventure-seeking. Della and Ervin also shared a commitment to community and served the local church and community on many boards, committees and work groups.Their love continued to flourish as they enjoyed the arrival of many grandchildren and great grandchildren and opportunities to appreciate life with their extended family. They retired at St. Andrews-by-the-Lake near Penticton, BC and that became a new adventure for the family with orchard tours, golfing, mountain hikes and family games around the dining table. Della and Ervin continued their passion for serving others and travelled with various groups to work in Honduras and the Philippines, well into their 80s. There they helped to build churches and schools, and supported medical clinics and outreach in the rural communities. During their later years, the couple settled back in Regina, SK, where they lived out the rest of their years near to family.The family would like to extend their gratitude for the compassionate care and service of the staff at Wascana Rehabilitation Center, Unit 2-6.Celebration of Della's Life will be held at Living Hope Alliance Church, 3800 Green Falls Drive, Regina, SK on Saturday, March 30, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. with reception to follow.
