ANTONINI - Norma M. (nee Hanson). It is with great sadness that the family of Norma Antonini announces her passing on October 26, 2009 at the age of 84 years. She is survived by her devoted husband of 60 years, Eric Antonini and her children Rick (Clare), Lindy (Craig Newby), Mark (Shelley Campbell), Sandy (Kirk Ready), Roger (Claire) and Neil (Karla); grandchildren Dominic and Daniel, Clay and Jan, Elspeth and Carleen, Bryce, Chelsea and Coral, Mackenna and Sydney; great grandson Eric; and sisters-in-law Anne Hanson, Jo MacDougall and Joan Daley. Norma was predeceased by her parents Ellef and Esther Hanson and by her brother, Ken Hanson. Norma was born in Regina on October 2, 1925 and grew up in Lajord, SK. Upon graduation from high school in 1943 Norma taught grades 1 through 12 in a one room school in Davin, SK. In 1946 she entered nursing training at the Regina General Hospital and received her Registered Nursing Diploma and the award for Medical Nursing in 1949. While training in Fort San, SK, Norma met Eric who was installing floors at the sanitorium. They married in 1949. Norma and Eric moved to Saskatoon in 1953. Norma devoted her life to her husband and six children, to her community, nursing and music. She was a proficient homemaker, seamstress and knitter. Her knitting needles were always busy, even at her children's sporting events. She was active in school, church, and community organizations and was on the board of directors of Jubilee Residences for 23 years. In 1982 she was named as one of a hundred Saskatoon residents honored for contributing significantly and unselfishly to the quality of life in Saskatoon. In 1974 Norma returned to the profession of nursing and joined the nurses at the Saskatoon City Hospital where she worked for 15 years. She loved her work as a nurse and was respected and admired by her nursing friends, doctors and patients. Norma was very musical and shared her love of music with family and friends. She played the piano and organ for church and social events, but her first love was the mandolin that her parents gave her when she was 14. Playing with the Saskatoon Mandoleers, the Saskatoon Jammers and the San Diego Mandolin Orchestra gave her great pleasure. Norma and Eric were fortunate to travel often but they most enjoyed spending winter months in San Diego. They loved playing bridge and golf and at the age of 74 Norma scored two holes-inone. In 1998 her health began to fail and sadly her condition severely compromised her ability to enjoy the many friends, family and activities she loved so dearly. A celebration of Norma's life will be held on Friday, November 6, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier Church, 222 Willow Street, Saskatoon, SK.

Dad was born on December 22, 1923 on a farm in the Kronau area. When he was five years old, his parents and siblings moved to the Balgonie area to farm. Dad received his primary schooling at St. Joseph's Colony and high school education at Campion College in Regina. He learned to play the piano and the clarinet and sang in church and Barbershop choirs. Prior to his lengthy farming career, Dad worked as a locomotive fireman with the CNR and was employed for a few years in the oil industry in Alberta. After meeting Martha in Calgary and a two-year courtship, they married and settled on the farm near Balgonie where they operated a mixed dairy and grain farm. Though they moved to Regina in 1972, they continued a beef cattle and grain operation.

Peter Paul Ebenal was born in 1924 at Lajord, the eldest of Frank and Florence Ebenal (nee Seiferling). He had three sisters: Theresa, Margaret and Virginia. They grew up on the farm near St. Peter's Colony, and since Frank died fairly young, Peter was farming from his teenage years. As a young man he enjoyed fishing trips and spending time with relatives and friends. In 1948, he married Mary Fahlman from the Kronau area. They were blessed with seven children, numerous grandchildren and several great-grandchildren over the years. Peter bought land near Colfax with his brother-in-law Emanuel Fahlman and they farmed together for a few years. He also worked off the farm constructing grain elevators and other buildings, and at several Weyburn businesses in later years. The farm was sold in 1977 and the family moved to Weyburn soon after that. Peter and Mary managed an apartment block for a short time, then retired. Dad lost the love of his life when Mom died in 1986. Dad also had some health issues in later years and moved to Tatagwa View in 2005 where he enjoyed reading, watching TV and doing cross-word puzzles. Dad was very interested in things mechanical and electrical, and was often busy working on his lathe, overhauling tractors, tinkering with his collection of old McCormick-Deering tractors, or building a go-cart for us. He was always ready to lend a hand to a neighbour for help if they needed it. Dad led a fairly simple life and worked hard to provide for his family, but also enjoyed taking time for vacation and outings. I remember going to the International Peace Park, visits with relatives, Pilgrimage at St. Peter's Grotto, and trips to Oyama Beach, Nickle Lake and Mainprize Park. I have also seen photos of the Yellowstone and Calgary Dinosaur Park trip, and heard about the ill �fated trip to the Black Hills that the poor old Dodge couldn't quite manage. Mom and Dad also vacationed in Europe one fall. Dad enjoyed the children in his life, playing cards and horseshoes and spending time and sharing stories with family and friends. Funeral mass for Peter was held on Monday, September 12 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn with Father Gerry Bauche, celebrant. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery Weyburn. Pallbearers were Alex Maurer, Gavin Maurer, Colt Maurer, Adam Ebenal, Rick Ebenal and Daniel Ebenal. Honorary Pallbearers were all in attendance.

FAHLMAN - Donald Fahlman was born December 16, 1928 at Kronau to Peter and Theresa Fahlman, the middle child with two older sisters and two younger brothers. Because his father was ill for several years he was pushed into doing a man's work at a tender age. He never complained about that, even when at age 10 he spent all summer driving eight horses to work the summerfallow and by the time he got to the inside the outside was grown-up with weeds so he had to start again. At 12 he worked on a threshing crew and was proud that a neighbour entrusted him with his good team. The love of horses remained with him and he encouraged and taught his children to ride. Showing horses, and cattle, at fairs was enjoyed by all the family. Horse and car trading, came easily to him because he loved them both. Don was a hard worker who didn't like to call in the nieghbourhood professional if he could do it himself. When he made up his mind to do something he was resourceful, physically strong and determined. He was honest and fair, and never left a bill unpaid. However, if he thought the price was unfair he did not hesitate to question it. The family dubbed him Mr. Clean because he hated a mess. When he moved to the city in 2005 the mess on the streets bothered him so he constantly picked up garbage as he walked. it was suggested the city should put him on their payroll. Don had a quick wit and off-beat sense of humour that people didn't always catch on to. The Fahlmans bought a section of prairie at Griffin in 1946 and Don and his father broke it with a rough old Hardparr tractor. Don married Jean Krueger in 1950 and 11 days later the home they were living in burned so all the wedding gifts and the second hand furniture they had purchased was lost. They worked hard to re-establish themselves. To help with family finances Don worked as the town dray man, he did custom work for other farmers, he was lineman for Ideal Rural Telephone Company, and replaced fuses for Saskatchewan Power. Don and Jean had three children, Memory in 1951, Holly in 1952, and Kerry in 1954. While his family was growing up he led the Griffin Community 4-H and Horse Club, he was chairman of the recreation club which built and outdoor rink for the children. Don played baseball with Griffin Bears and later Midale Braves in Souris River baseball league. He was a left-handed first baseman with a powerful swing and strong arm which wasn't always accurate. He served on the Wheat Pool Board but he was impatient with sitting through long meetings. He liked to see some purpose for the time he spent. He joined the choir at Grace United and was president for many years. He had a natural talent for singing and loved music, especially gospel music. They went to pattern and old tyme dances around the country for years. Playing a variety of card games was an interest and they were members of Wheatland Senior Center. Don was an early riser, which wasn't always appreciated when he was a guest in other peoples' homes. He was also prompt and had no sympathy for anyone who was late. When he left the farm his early rising habit went with him. He was first in the field and first out walking the streets. When he lost the strength in his leg and hip life became a challenge for an energetic man who loved to walk miles every day. Don had always been in charge of his life and ill health was making him lose that control. Our family has always respected the judgement of our dear husband, father and grandfather, and we continue to do so. Remember this honest, humorous, productive man for a life well lived. A Memorial Service was held Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. from Grace United Church, Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Rev. M. Barnabas officiating. Jean's thoughts were read by his brother Dennis. The Eulogy was given by Keith Sprecken and Grace United Church Choir sang the Processional Hymn.

He married his high school sweetheart Irene over 55 years ago. Together they moved to Regina for a career with SaskTel. They raised their family in both Regina and at the farm near Richardson SE of Regina.

Always the inventor, Harvey had a passion for finding new ways to make things work. His workshop, with his tools and creative mind, developed many interesting projects.

After completing her education, Kay worked in both Raymore and Wishart as a storekeeper, while always dreaming of attending nursing school. In 1952 she met and married Bill Forsberg, a widowed man of strong, yet loving character who had emigrated from Sweden to farm at Riceton many years earlier. Kay always felt close to Bill's children and never used the word step in describing their relationship. They retired from farming and moved into the town of Riceton, in 1960. Following Bill's sudden death in 1963 Kay continued living in Riceton to raise their young son Bill Jr., but after his high school graduation she moved on to become a full time Church housekeeper in Milestone. She grew to love Rev. Ewing Rae's family that she worked for raising the two children as her own and seeing them grow up to become two beautiful young adults. Kay then moved to Weyburn to be employed with the Souris Valley hospital until her retirement in 1982. She enjoyed her retirement life, writing poetry, taking trips to local and national historic places, playing bingo and being amongst her friends. Always being community minded and a lover of people allowed Kay to enjoy her church activities in the Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Riceton and the Zion Lutheran Church in Weyburn. These were important involvements to her. She was awarded in 1987 with a 2,000 hour volunteer pin for her work with the handicapped. Kay was President of the Weyburn Writers Guild and had many of her poems and writings published.

Marguerette (Purves) of Fort Qu'Appelle passed away peacefully on May 18, 2002. Born December 19, 1924 on Long Grove Farm, Riceton, Sk. She leaves a legacy of love in her partner, husband of 51 years and best friend Tom: her sons and their wives; Tim and Anita, Kelly and Alice; grandchildren: Andre (Jamie), KaCee, Kaitlyn, Byrun, Elliott and Marjorie: great granddaughter Elizabeth; sisters: Norine (Roy) Ellstock, Edmonton and Jean (Clarence) Coldwell, Riceton; and many relatives across North America. Though small in stature, Marg was big in heart and spirit. Sharing her energy, warmth, good humor and love with all who crossed her way. Just a few days after starting at Knox School a buggy accident set the stage for her to show us the wondrous power of the human will. Although the prognosis was never to walk again this was just the beginning of her journey of triumph over adversity. After six months in a body cast and with the loving care of family and the added strength of hired man Benny Johnston, who would carry her around the farm, she re-entered school the next fall. Even though she was left with a permanent painful leg and hip injury the following spring her will shawn through when she won all seven red ribbons at the track meet. Following grade 10 at Knox School she went on the Riceton School and Luther College for one year each before entering the Regina Secretarial College. All of her adult life Marg was involved with and to the Cooperative Movement. She started her career keeping the books, pumping gas and doing anything else that was asked of her at the Riceton Co-op. Then long before it was natural for a women to take on such roles she became Manager (and Janitor) of the Riceton Credit Union for the next 36 years. Through this period she also continued to keep the books for the Co-op. Her proudest business accomplishment was that over all those years lending millions of dollars she only had one bad debt that totaled $73.00. At her death, Marg was an active member of the Advisory Board of the Fort Qu'Appelle Branch of Sherwood Credit Union. In 1986, she and Tom built her "DREAM COME TRUE", a home on the shore of Echo Lake. When she raised her head from the pillow she began to enjoy her day by looking at the lake she loved and marveling at the valley's beauty. A keen observer of nature she particularly enjoyed watching birds and the role she played as a Ducks Unlimited Volunteer. She was an excellent marksman and Tom has always said that she was his best hunting partner. In retirement they enjoyed traveling and experiencing the wonders of the world, especially the Spring League Baseball. An avid golfer, Marg loved to hit a ball. One of the things she missed the most after her stroke in 1998 was getting out to the course with her special friends Helen and Sandy, as well as all the Ladies Club Members. Above all family was most important. In her quiet and supportive manner she gave everything to Tom, Tim and Kelly. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Peter Saunders, Dr. Louise Van Zyl and the wonderfully caring Staff at the Fort Qu'Appelle Indian Hospital for the comforting care they showed. This is goodbye. There will not be a funeral at Marg's request. Her cremated ashes will find their rest on the farm at Riceton and her home course at Echo Ridge.

Special thank you to all the caregivers at Parkside Extendicare who provided wonderful care and extended such kindness to our family MOATS - Angela Louise (July 27, 1988 - April 27, 2006). Angela died on April 27 at about 8:30 a.m. in a single vehicle accident in the company of her sister Morgan and brother Joshua. She was predeceased by her grandparents Wilber Moats and Evelyn Bors. She is survived by her parents, Laurie and Lee Moats, her sister Morgan and brother Joshua, her Grandmother Emma Moats and numerous Aunts, Uncles, cousins and many friends, and her dog Zoe. Angela was loved by all who knew her and she gave that love right back including to her many pets. She was captivated by history, particularly the history of the Tudors and other British royalty, and that passion led her to apply to the University of Regina's College of Arts where she intended on majoring in history. She was overjoyed last week to learn that she had been awarded an entrance scholarship. In her short life Angela was not short of accomplishments. She was planning on taking her Grade 8 piano in August, she traveled with her high school classmates to Europe in 2005, she attended Forum for Young Canadians in Ottawa in 2004. She was chair of her High School Green Committee and reveled in the challenges it presented, she was overwhelmed to meet Prince Philip in May 2005 and she was very much looking forward to playing in the Division badminton tournament on April 28th. Angela thoroughly enjoyed working with young people and was never happier than when she was babysitting or teaching piano to her young students. We can only imagine what Angela would have done with her adult life. Based on her life so far she would have lived it to the fullest, she would have treated everyone with respect, been a kind and generous person with a ready smile and an ability to bring light to the darkest room. Funeral services will be held at the Eastside United Church (3018 Doan Dr. Doan & Arcola), Monday, May 1, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. Those so wishing may attend her burial service on Monday May 1st at 8:00 p.m. at the Riceton Cemetery. MOATS - Emma Matilda (nee Francis) Moats died August 29, 2007 at the Regina General hospital with family close at hand. She was born on October 31, 1923 on Section 24, Twp 40, Rge 11, W3, near Radisson, Sask. to very humble beginnings. Emma's modest upbringing left her with a life long commitment to austerity and conservation. As a young person she was afflicted with many ailments common to the day including scarlet and rheumatic fevers whose scars she bore her whole life and which contributed to her death. Emma enrolled in the nursing program at Saskatoon's City Hospital and graduated as a registered nurse in 1946. Emma left nursing to farm and raise a family but in a testament to her resilience and determination she took a refresher course in 1969 and returned to the nursing profession. Her training became a community resource and many people in the Riceton area received first aid and occasionally emergency assistance from Emma. Emma was also committed to the future and never more so than when at the age of 60 she and her husband Wilber planted a very large shelterbelt on the farm to the benefit of the next generation. Her children were a great source of pride (and worry) and she was never happier than when in the company of her grandchildren and more recently one greatgranddaughter. Emma and her husband Wilber left the farm in 1990 and Regina living provided Emma with a great opportunity to pursue her many interests. She was an avid volunteer for pastoral care at the Pasqua hospital, the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic and Eastside United Church. Emma believed in the Christian principles of love and of helping her fellow human kind and was always willing to lend a helping hand. If you counted Emma as your friend, you had a friend that you could count on through thick and thin. Her infectious laugh was instantly recognizable by all who knew her, and she faithfully practiced the adage that if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at. Of all of her characteristics, Emma is possibly most remembered as someone who believed a hard days work was cure for most of what ails us and there is nothing like order and neatness. She also was passionate about exercise and continued to walk daily until her death. Emma was committed to life, so much so that she was determined to have her aging artificial heart valves replaced so that she might live longer, and she bravely faced her various health challenges to the very end. Emma was predeceased by her granddaughter Angela Moats, her sister Margaret Nyholt, her husband Wilber, her parents Ebby and Marie Francis among others. She is survived by her 6 children, Bob (Marian), Don (Kim), Judy Kopp (James), David (Linda), Lee (Laurie) and Ali Matai and grandchildren Ben (Shala) Kopp, Bill, Marie, Morgan, Hayley and Joshua Moats and one great-granddaughter Madison Kopp, her brothers Lea and Walter and sister Rosemarie as well as numerous inlaws, nieces, nephews and family. Funeral services will held at 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007, at Eastside United Church, 3018 Doan Drive (Doan and Arcola), Regina.

He loved square dancing and was willing to travel nearly anywhere to dance including to Norway on tour. He was a co-operator and a supporter of the co-op movement, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and later the New Democratic Party all of his adult life. Wilber was a pacifist and stood by his aversion to take up arms against his fellow human kind in the face of adversity and at great personal sacrifice. While he was many things, he considered himself a stockman and was most at home while husbanding his dairy cows and was very proud of the stock that carried his herd name, Happe Hope Farms.

Saturday, November 9, 2013, we lost a kind and gentle soul. Brian was 64 years old. He had recovered from surgery for colon cancer and was optimistic about his prognosis when he passed away suddenly on his tenth day of chemotherapy. He leaves to mourn: his beloved wife and best friend, Lynne; his son, Kris and wife, Melissa of Regina; his daughter, Carolyn and husband Craig Clifton of Calgary; two precious granddaughters, Madeline and Bridgette Clifton; a sister-in-law, Kathryn Ursaki; his mother, Rose; his brother Richard (Eleanor); his brother Gordon (Denise); his sister Brenda; his sister Michele (Paul Legrand); his sister Joanne (Scott Symon) and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Edward; his nephew, Darcy Selinger; and his darling niece, Anne Hastings. Brian grew up on a farm near Lajord, Sask., where he learned the value of hard work and the skills required to fix anything. His high school years were spent at Notre Dame in Wilcox, where he learned to play football under the watchful eye of P�re Murray and won the 1966 provincial football championship. Brian met the love of his life, Lynne, in 1968 in a biology class at the University of Regina. He completed his Bachelor of Education degree and a few years later, his Diploma of Education. His teaching career began in Lipton, Saskatchewan, where he taught for one year. The remainder of his 30 year career was spent in Regina as a biology and science teacher with Regina Catholic Schools at O'Neill High School and Miller Comprehensive High School. Brian enjoyed coaching curling, baseball and football. Brian was grateful for the many students and staff who touched his life. He retired in 2001, and when Lynne retired in 2004, they moved to Vernon, B.C. to build their dream home in the forest and to enjoy cross-country skiing, curling, hiking, biking, kayaking, camping and beaching. Brian took great pride in the home and yard he built. He was a wood-working enthusiast and happily took on projects for friends and family. He also found time to volunteer on the executive of the Vernon Outdoors Club, to teach curling skills to school children through the Vernon Curling Club, and for the last several years, to produce the paddlewheel boats provided to children at the Okanagan Landing Regattas. Brian's more than 40 year marriage to Lynne was an inspiration. He was a role model for his children demonstrating patience, compassion, honesty, humor, and devotion to his family. His children and his grandchildren were his greatest source of pride and accomplishment, and his love for them was immeasurable. The greatest blessing he received after his diagnosis was to welcome his granddaughter, Bridgette, into the world on October 17, and to be able to spend the first ten days of her life with her and with Madeline before starting his chemotherapy. Memorial services will be held in both Vernon and Regina at a later date.
