BARD - Philomene Marie (nee Dube) 1912 - 2011 In her 99th year, in the loving company of family, Philomene Marie Bard passed away peacefully June 27, 2011, at Glengarry Hospital in Victoria. (Appreciation is expressed to Glengarry staff and Dr. M Saunders for the care they provided.) Phyl, as she was affectionately known, was born on her parent�s farm near Benson, Saskatchewan. She attended Benson Convent boarding school before obtaining an RN diploma at the Grey Nuns School of Nursing in Regina in 1933. Phyl specialized in obstetrics and later in infectious diseases. Her nursing career was interrupted during the depression and during years of childrearing, but spanned forty years. In 1935, Phyl married Fredrick G. Bard. Fred was a conservationist who, before his death in 1989, received national honours for his work in preserving Whooping Cranes and establishing Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural History (now RSM) at Wascana Lake. In addition to lovingly raising their three children, Phyl became adept at caring for injured and abandoned wildlife that Fred frequently brought home. Following retirement, Phyl and Fred moved to White Rock, BC, where Phyl pursued her interests in gardening, fishing, canning and cooking, winemaking, sewing, and bridge. But Phyl was more than a consummate homemaker, she was a home builder. In her early 70�s, Phyl prepared a floor plan, tendered, and oversaw construction of their next house in Surrey. Eventually in 2001, to be closer to family and a wonderful church community, she moved into St Clare Villa in St. Patrick�s Parish in Victoria. Phyl is survived by her son, Donald H. Bard (Margaret) of Westminster, CA; and by twin RN daughters Arlene M. Feltz (Louis) of Albuquerque, NM; and Lorene M. Freeman (William) of Victoria, BC. She has been further blessed with eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Phyl will be remembered by those who knew her as a dedicated and multi-talented mother, and as professional and personal caregiver. She would offer loving counsel, and a meal and helping hand to family, friends, and strangers alike.

On Sunday, March 11, 2001, Martha Barmann, late of Stoughton, passed away at New Hope Pioneer Lodge at the age of 95 years. Predeceased by her husband, Helmut Barmann in 1944; her parents, Adolf and Mina Wendel; her grandparents, Ferdinand and Wilhelmina Thiede; her brother, Erich Wendel, and sisters: Emmi Laborius and Klara Wendel. Martha is survived by her children: Armin of Regina, Eherhard (Heather) of Stoughton, Gerhard (Sabine) of Sylt, Germany and Gotthard of Stoughton; her grandchildren: Rita (Luc) Lemoine, Mark (Jocelyn) Barmann, Taureann and Tristan Barmann and daughter-in-law, Ellen Barmann; her sister, Trude (Gerhard) Schulz of Gunsburg, Germany, and numerous nieces and nephews. Martha was born on August 31, 1905 in Ketzin/Havel, Germany. She lived with her grandparents, Ferdinand and Wilhelmina Thiede. Martha trained as a housekeeper and went to work for the Wuppermann family when she was 16 years old. She enjoyed keeping the house and helping with the children. Martha worked until her marriage to Helmut Barmann in June of 1933. Martha and Helmut lived in Teltow. They were blessed with four sons, Armin, Eherhard, Gerhard and Gotthard. Martha lost her husband in WWII and was left to raise her children alone. Martha had to leave her children sometimes for days on end just to buy food. She knew much sorrow and hardship, and she came through it with a strength and perseverance that few people have. Martha went back to work for the Wuppermann family until her retirement. She immigrated to Canada in 1971 and went to live in Regina. She then moved to Weyburn where she lived until 1990. Martha was nothing if not stubborn, and this could be seen in her unwillingness to learn to speak English. This inability did not hamper her in the least. She enjoyed watching "Another World" everyday and could tell you what was going on if you had missed an episode. Martha moved to Stoughton in April of 1990. She lived on her own until January of 1997 when she became a resident of the Newhope Pioneer Lodge. When Martha moved to Stoughton, everyone who knew her referred to her as Oma. Oma will be sadly missed by her family. Auf Wiedersehen, Oma. Funeral service was held Monday, March 19 at 2:00 p.m. from Grace United Church, Stoughton, with Rev. Jann Sampson officiating.

She was born on February 10, 1920 in Avonhurst to a family of four kids. Anne was schooled in Regina while living with the Lindsays, a foster family. On March 11, 1951 Anne married Gordon Beckman. She was a farmer's wife and partner, full time homemaker, bookkeeper, mother and grandmother. Life was tough but Anne was a very strong person and always had a positive attitude which she tried to encourage in her children. Anne enjoyed drawing, painting, taking care of her family and farm; she enjoyed the farm animals, making pets of some and giving them names. Anne was busy with her family and farming and would take in the odd dance with her girls and she enjoyed this time out. Anne did not attend any church but enjoyed talking to others who did. At one Halloween dance, Anne dressed up in a half man/half woman costume and bugged son Danny until he was really upset. When she was finally unmasked the family had a good laugh because Danny was the only one who didn't know it was his mom. Anne lived in a number of places over the years, Moose Jaw, Regina, Broadview, Corning area, then to the farm at Stoughton which she called home for 53 years. There were a number of special events that Anne took part in, one was a family reunion at River Park which the whole family attended around 1985. The other was her 80th birthday party in the Stoughton Legion with a surprise guest, Ruth, from Moose Jaw, whom Anne was really happy to see.

BJARNASON - Stefan Irwin "Barney", with his wife and children at his side, passed away at the age of 64 years in Weyburn General Hospital on April 27, 2007 following a long year's struggle with cancer. Stefan Irwin (Barney) Bjarnason was born September 13, 1942 on the family farm at NW-19-8-9 W2 RM #65, the youngest of 11 children of Kristjan and Royal (Symes) Bjarnason. Irwin attended elementary school at Hudmore, a quarter of a mile east of the farm on highway 13, then grades 6 to 10 in Froude and grade 11 in Stoughton. Irwin developed an early love for the outdoors, hunting and trapping in the winter with his father. By the age of 10 or 11 he had his own trap line and was acknowledged for having caught the largest mink at that time. In 1958, he left school to work with his father on the farm as well as do seasonal work for numerous farmers in the district. During his working years he had many careers, including northern seismic, trucking, cab driving, bartending and custom farm work, but he always returned to his greatest passion, the land and farming. Irwin was always an innovator - willing to try new methods of farming before they became common practice. In 1974, he baled over 100,000 flax bales for the linen mills; he was among the first farmers in the district to use an air seeder and was the first organic farmer registered in the RM of Tecumseh. During the farm recession of the 80s he was responsible for changes made in lender policies and the Farm Debt Review Board. On October 5, 1972, Irwin married Dorothy Turton of Manor at Carmichael United Church in Regina. Over the next few years they moved to Bassano, AB, back to Weyburn and then to Froude were they lived until they purchased the family farm in 1977. During this time, Irwin and Dorothy were blessed with three children, Marla Mae born November 29, 1974, Koreana Stefanie born March 27, 1977 and Kevin Granger born June 17, 1980. Irwin continued to farm until his illness made it impossible to continue his life's work in the fields he loved. Following back surgery in May 2006, he was told he would never be able to ride his tractor again, but he surprised us all - riding that tractor two weeks later, back brace and all, and then surviving months longer than the doctors thought he would. Irwin was proud of his Icelandic heritage and like a true Viking, chose to "chance the rapids and dared to dance the tides." He enjoyed music and dancing (double time, of course), guns, Chevy vehicles, JD tractors, NH balers and Gleaner combines, playing pool, coffee at the Esso, A&W or Zippy Mart, DQ milkshakes, anything chocolate, reading, visiting with friends, a good laugh and/or a good argument. He was very proud of his children's accomplishments and later, those of his grandchildren. During his illness, family and friends came and went at will and the children played and visited around his bed while covering the walls with hand drawn pictures and trinkets. Irwin did not belong to any official community organizations, but was always first in line when it came to driving his nephews and nieces, then his children and their friends, and finally his grandchildren to Girl Guides, Cadets, sports and other school events, dances and parties. Over the years, Irwin employed many a local youth and several of his nephews for seasonal work on the farm and in his custom work. Living beside highway 13 for most of his life also meant he was often called out, usually in the night, to rescue drivers from the ditch, fix or refuel their vehicles or just to provide directions, often at no charge. Irwin readily shared his knowledge of farming, specifically organics, and was frequently called upon by neighbors for assistance in repairing their machinery or resetting the Deering knotters on their balers, a skill learned from his father on the old binders. He once turned down a job as the New Holland trouble shooter for southern Saskatchewan as it would have meant time on the road, away from his family and the farm; these were much more important to him than money or material things. Irwin was predeceased by his parents Kristjan and Royal, three brothers Ernest, Agust, and Gerald; four brothers-in-law Harry Ivan, Wilf Huber, Gordon Taylor and George Maas and his father-in-law David Turton. Irwin, better known to many as Barney, leaves to mourn his passing and to celebrate his life, Dorothy, his loving wife and friend of 34 years and his children and grandchildren: Marla and Calvin Gavelin of McCord; Koreana and Kaylee of Stoughton; Kevin, Laura, Brendan (Rogers), Breanna and Kristjan of Stoughton and Talisha Rogers of Weyburn; sisters and brothers: Lina Ivan, Weyburn; Ruby Taylor, Weyburn; Rae (Carmel), Regina Beach; Mary Maas, Weyburn; Anne Huber, Regina; Inga (Carman) Hill, Stoughton and Logan (Shirley) of Froude; mother-in-law Ruby Turton (Doug McKee), Melville; brothers and sisters-in-law: Lois, Creston, BC; Terry, Mississauga, ON; Dale (Wendy) Turton, Redvers; Joyce (Phil) Revet, Regina; Shirley (Dallas) Hortness, Chester, VA; Wesley (Margaret) Turton, Spruce Grove, AB; Ruth (Wayne) Sorensen, Melville as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Pallbearers were Ivan Huriet, Cedric Guillemin, Wayne Colby, Randy Walbaum, Colin Vogel, and Rheaume Richaud. All those in attendance were considered honourary pallbearers. Henry was born on the family farm near Benson on March 15, 1928. In 1929, the family moved to north of Forget. He took his schooling at St. Joseph's Convent in Forget, where they boarded during the week and went home on weekends. He attended school from November 1936 to June 1942, achieving grade 7. Despite the lack of formal education, he was a very good reader and a very articulate writer - much of it self-taught. He worked on the farm for his father during the summers. In the winters of 1946 and 1948 he went to work in the coal mines at Trail, BC. He continued to work for his father until his passing in 1961. In the fall of 1955, he met Mary Helen Lake. They were married in October of 1957. They lived in a trailer on his father's farm until April of 1961, when they moved to their own half section of land. At that time he also rented some land. They began to raise cattle (and children) and they gradually acquired more land. Their first year of farming on their own proved to be less than ideal. 1961 was a very bad year with no crop and only three inches of rain for the entire growing season. They were milking ten cows by this time. They sold the cream and Dad worked for the R.M. and the P.F.R.A. to help make ends meet. In the spring of 1962, they seeded all their land to crop. They had a "bumper" crop and got a better start at farming, only to be hailed out in 1963! By 1969, their family had reached "bumper crop" proportions. They had nine children, five girls and four boys, including one set of twins. Although Henry never became involved in the church affairs, the entire family attended most Sunday masses. Often during seeding and harvest he would feel he was too busy and could not afford the time away from the land. No matter how scarce the money was in the early years Henry always gave a small donation to the church. If he had a good crop he would sometimes give a little extra at the end of the year. In 1965, as the family grew, they began their new home. This took several years to complete, going only as money and time were available to do it. Once the outer shell was finished he only worked at the inside during the winter months when he couldn't work outside. At the same time they began the house they also hand-planted a large shelter belt of evergreens, poplars and caraganas from seedlings about 6 to 8 inches high. They constantly needed attention of watering, weeding, etc. Imagine hauling water for 500 baby trees! Every year they added more trees to the original ones. Gradually, they built a new barn, two quonsets, a cattle shelter, corrals, a garage, an addition on the house and numerous grain bins. Until 1997, they had about 100 head of cattle, which they sold the year after Mary had her heart attack. Once the cattle were gone Henry still continued to acquire more land, owning 19 quarters at his passing. In the winters Henry supplemented their income by blowing snow for the R.M. and the P.F.R.A. manager. He also did all of his own books. In 1982 Henry and Mary celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with all their children and grandchildren present. In 1997 they celebrated their 40th anniversary with all family members who could attend. Henry was a person who had very high expectations of himself and others. He often did not understand when others were not as motivated to meet those expectations. He truly lived to work, whereas the rest of today's society works to live and then enjoy our leisure times and activities with our children. In our society there are few left with the drive, motivation and determination that he had. He lived by the Bible, in the sense that he lived life to the fullest - he definitely packed every minute of work that he possibly could into each day. He did not ever put off until tomorrow what he could do today. He did not allow himself much relaxation or leisure time. He really didn't allow himself many frills except the large farm equipment which he purchased with pride. He felt those were necessary because they helped him earn the living. Food was the other frill he spent his money on. In terms of leisure activities he did buy a boat while we were growing up. We also had a couple of snowmobiles. He had many health problems over the years. He suffered two strokes, one in November 1989 and one last February. He was diabetic and had high blood pressure for many years. Despite all this, he thought he was invincible. He fought hard to recover from both strokes, which left him in a weakened condition and less than perfect mobility. He worked as hard at the therapy as he did at the farm work. He never gave up. He was very good at anything with his hands. He could fix anything in the house or anything that went wrong on any piece of his machinery. Given a problem to solve, he would thrive on thinking of an inexpensive solution. That often meant crafting a part himself or remanufacturing an existing one. In this, he was meticulous and methodical. He could take every part out of a tractor and somehow get it all back together in running order, with no pieces left over. Time was no object - it might take him all winter to overhaul a tractor. Like many farmer's wives Mary was very patient until he got around to fixing the stove, dryer, etc. because it didn't make any sense to pay someone to do something you could do yourself. The same was true if there was a sick animal. Henry would only call the vet when he had done all he could with the medicines he had at home. Nothing was wasted - he saved every old part in case it might have another use. Sometimes he had to spend two days looking for it when that other use did come along. As we remember Henry's days with us we have to be proud of his accomplishments. Much of the life skills we possess today, we learned from his example. Even though we couldn't always work with him, the knowledge, drive and mechanical know-how will be carried on, not only to his children, but to future generations. He has not left us. He will always be alive in our hearts. BREMS - Mathilda "Tillie" (nee Lepine).

In their lifetime together, Harold and Dorothy, starting with $50 and a cow, built a thriving commercial egg business, greenhouse business and farm. She worked hard and together with Harold provided support and encouragement to her children and grandchildren to reach out, learn more and do more than was immediately obvious.

Eileen would respond with, "I'm not sick you know, but I hurt today." Eileen seldom complained but missed being able to dance, play the piano and most of all, writing letters to her many long term friends and relatives. Eileen received many compliments from the superintendent of the school where she taught and was visited by many former students. She loved the latest in clothing and dangling earrings.

Educated at Stoughton, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve at the young age of 17. After naval instruction, he was assigned to the H.M.C.S. Loch Alvie, a loch-class frigate that provided escort duty to supply ships. Following the war, Cecil turned his hand to farming which would become his life's work. Together, Cecil and Beth cultivated a longterm relationship with the cattle industry that extended to the development of many good friendships. The name of 'Loch Alvie' Herefords became synonymous with purebred, registered Horned Herefords, an annual production sale that spanned 18 years, and the sale of breeding stock across the Prairie Provinces and into the United States. Cecil retired from active farming in the late 1990's but he never tired of helping family members with their projects or lost interest in his renter's care of the land as evidenced by his daily trips to the beloved farm. First and foremost a family man, Cecil was a devoted father, husband, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He cheered us on in our ventures, applauded our successes, and was there for us whenever we were in need. His kindness, honesty, and determination were an inspiration and we will carry him in our hearts forever.

Eventually Cecil turned her head and after a whirlwind courtship they married November 20, 1947. Together, they built a name for themselves in the purebred cattle industry selling breeding stock across the Prairie Provinces and into the U.S. The name 'Loch Alvie Herefords' became synonymous with registered horned Herefords and their annual production sale spanned 18 years. Beth's contributions were as essential to the business operation as were Cecil's. Although mixed farming was the couple's life's work, they dedicated their lives to raising a family and providing for us. Beth was first and foremost a mother, wife, grandmother, and great grandmother. She often did without while ensuring that the family's needs were met. No one championed our causes more than Mom. We could always count on her to be in our corner. Her generosity was limitless; as was her pride in us.

Ella never took time for herself, she worked endless hours, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her passion was to read and walk along the prairie trails in search of pussy willows, crocuses, and buttercups. Her favorite place was on the 'Leclair Hill' to view the prairie's bounties and to watch the beauty and gentleness of grazing deer. Ella was always very generous and giving to everyone she met and enjoyed being with people and meeting new friends. Throughout her illness, she never gave in to self-pity, she suffered her pain in silence. She always displayed a happy disposition, no matter how much pain she endured. We love you Mom, and it is comforting to know that God has you in His keeping, and forever we will have you in our hearts. Lovingly remembered by your family: husband Lionel; son Douglas (Terry, Brennan, Marissa); son Dennis (Vi, Amy, Holly); son Lyle (Nadine, Richelle, Jeffrey); son Glen (Nancy, Dustin, Baillie); daughter Cheryl (Eric, Devin, Tyler, Barret Kuntz); son Jim (Donna, Andrea, Allyson); son Greg (Heather, Brayden, Kennedy, Garrett).

She played softball, curled, coached a son's baseball team when needed, acted as CGIT leader for a time, contributed to events such as fowl suppers and the annual Fair (her entries in baking, garden produce, pickles, and preserved fruits always took prizes). She especially shared with the community her impressive musical abilities. She was United Church organist for many years. She was a member of the church choir for more than forty years, including several as leader. She and Lavica performed vocal duets at dozens of weddings, graduations, funerals, and anniversaries in Creelman and nearby towns. By the mid 1970s the boys were leaving home, and Ken and Laverne found more time to attend concerts or plays, to travel, and especially to take up square and round and old time dancing. Then in 1982 Ken died. Laverne was devastated. She appreciated very much the support now offered by members of her immediate family, by relatives, by her dancing friends, curling friends, church members, and members of the little Creelman Jug Band. She also became an enthusiastic follower of the activities of her grandchildren, and attended scores of school plays, musical recitals, dancing performances, basketball games, softball games, hockey games. In 1997 she moved to Regina. Soon she had grandchildren in Norway, and she visited them. Frequently she travelled to Creelman for birthday parties, funerals, the Fair, the Dinner Theatre and other events. She also became close to friends she had made in Regina, especially those at Whitmore Park United Church, in the Heritage Fiddlers, and in the Old Tyme Music Makers who entertained regularly at senior citizens' homes. Tears came to her eyes when she described people in wheel chairs moving with the music. In her final weeks, Laverne was grateful for care provided by doctors, nurses, home care workers, and she appreciated the flowers, cards, visits, and telephone calls from friends. Laverne's funeral will be held in St. Andrew's United Church, Creelman, on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 2:00 P.M. NEEDHAM - Thomas Archibald.

Edgar Elwood Osborne was born November 8, 1908 on the family farm south of Forget, the oldest of six children born to Samuel and Bertha Osborne. He took his schooling at Cavelier School, walked to school in the summer and drove a team and sleigh in the winter. When the farm hand went off to WWI, Edgar left school at grade 8 as he was needed to help with the farm work. Being the oldest, he was responsible for looking after the horses and his siblings. They made their own fun, skating, sleighing on hills, skiing by making their own skis and tying a long rope to the sleigh box, then he and his cousins and brother, John, would take turns driving across the prairie fields at a good clip while the others skied behind, making a wide arc. There would be lots of spills, but also lots of fun. He left the prairie in 1933 with his dad, brother-in-law and cousin to go north to the Melfort area, to a farm that was for rent. He came back to the prairies to get some machinery and horses, loaded them up in Benson, and they went back to Melfort by train. While in the district he got a job of grading the road in the summer, the next year he fought fires in the Carrot River district, eventually they got in the muskeg, now known as "Smokey Burn." That fall he went down to Kelvington, where his dad had bought a farm. In 1939, WW II broke out. He joined the army in Saskatoon, but was discharged due to medical reasons. He was sorry to see his pals leave. On December 23, 1939 Edgar married Laura Fletcher, from the Kelvington area, in Saskatoon. Their son, William (Bill) was born in November of 1940 at Kelvington. Eddie farmed with his dad and neighbors who needed help. Beverly Joan was born in 1945. Eddie had an operation, so the family went to BC for a holiday that summer. They picked fruit and worked in a fruit cannery. He did some carpentry work too. Then they went back to his dad's farm. In 1948 they moved down to the prairie and bought a farm in the Viewfield area. While living there, Edgar learned to weld, was on the school board and secretary for the telephone company. He helped build some telephone lines, farmed, helped neighbours whenever they needed it. Sandra joined the family in 1955, Katherine in 1958 and Linda in 1960. In 1972 they left the farm and moved into Stoughton. Eddie was sick and wanted to be close to school and town, so they sold the farm to their neighbour. They still live in the house that they bought in Stoughton. Edgar was honest in his dealings with other people. He was dependable and faithful to his word, always ready to lend a helping hand. He and Laura watched out for the needs of the 'old people' who were younger than they were. His car was used to transport anyone who needed it, more than for their own personal needs. They faithfully attended the United Church in Viewfield, Benson and then Stoughton, and were members of the Orange Lodge. Funeral service was held Tuesday, October 9, at 2:00 p.m. from Grace United Church, Stoughton, with Deborah Laforet officiating. Interment followed in Green Acres Memorial Gardens, Weyburn, Sask.

After retirement from the RM of Benson in 1988, Ivan and Loris moved to Estevan where they lived together until Ivan's passing in 2004. In February of this year, Loris moved to Newhope Pioneer Lodge in Stoughton and in April, she moved to Tatagwa View in Weyburn. Loris, sense of humour was one of her most memorable attributes. Try as we might, we can't think of one person who we could say disliked her. Everyone who talks of Loris, speaks of her cheerful, positive disposition. Loris will long be remembered for her kind, caring spirit. Her generosity to many church agencies indicated her love of her Saviour and her concern for others. The combined effect of everything that happens to a person in their life, the influences of their parents, those who had influence in younger years; their middle years, their married years, as they raised their children, as their retired, and finally as the life draws to a close, is what makes the person. Many people have influenced Loris` time here on earth. Loris has influenced many people. We are so thankful for all that has been put into her life by others and all that Loris has given to so many of her friends and relatives. As her family, we express our thankfulness for her influence upon us, for her unconditional love and care through the years; as our Mother, our Grandmother, our Great Grand Mother. To recognize the value of a gift sometimes takes a time of contemplation and reflection. The gift of life is a tremendous thing and today we recognize a great gift given to us, the gift of the life of Loris Gene Shauf. Through that gift we have been truly blessed. We will miss her. Funeral services were held at the Estevan Alliance Church, Estevan on November 7th with Rev. Mark Bergen officiating. Interment took place at Green Aces Memorial Gardens, Weyburn. The family would like to express our thanks to those who have supported us through attendance at the funeral, cards, telephone calls, donations to charities, and gifts of food and baking. We are so grateful for your kindness and your friendship. We would also like to thank the staffs at New Hope Pioneer Lodge and Tatagwa View for the care extended towards Mom in the last several months.

On Saturday, September 4, 1999, Anna Stach, late of Yellow Grass, and formerly of Weyburn, passed away at Beautiful Plains Villa, Yellow Grass, at the age of 90 years. Predeceased by her parents, Heinrich and Alvina Pioch; her husband, Berthold Stach; two sisters and one brother; and one grandson, Mark Stach. Anna is survived by her children: Betty (Dale) Knibbs of Griffin; Ursula (Hank) Hennig of Bradwell, SK; Siegmund (Giesela) Stach of Abbotsford, BC and Kurt (Arlene) Stach of Regina; 11 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Anna was born on September 17, 1908 in Polnow, Germany to Heinrich and Alvina Pioch. Hers was a small town childhood in a farming community with a loving, church going family of faith. She met Berthold Stach at a dance and they were married in March, 1932, making their home first in Kritin and then in Metzlaff. The happy couple loved to sing together with the town gathered at their front door to listen. World War II shattered their lives, scattering their family to concentration camps and refugee camps until they at last were reunited in Duisberg, Germany. After rebuilding a comfortable life there, they decided to emigrate to Canada in 1951, arriving in Estevan and settling in Viewfield on a cold January day. Together they worked hard on various farms in the community, raising their family of four children, gardening, canning and saving and cherishing the simple joys of life: kleetel with fresh milk, girken, french toast, pillows and quilts stuffed with their own goose down, home knitted mittens and stockings and good relationships with friends, family and God. They celebrated their 45th Anniversary surrounded by family and friends, and reached their 49th before Berthold's death in 1981. Whenever you went to visit, Anna's house was always clean and she was always wearing her apron. She couldn't throw anything away, if it could still be mended, she would mend it, sometimes even patching the patches. Her dedication to their children sometimes kept her going all night knitting and sewing for school the next day. She loved bows, and they were everywhere in her house. At her 90th birthday party, she beamed to have her picture taken with her other nonagenarian friends, over 270 years of life experience in three chairs. At family gatherings, she didn't want to miss anything if she could help it, staying up until everyone else went to bed. Failing health forced her to give up her apartment for constant nursing care in the Beautiful Plains Villa Nursing Home where she passed away peacefully. Anna taught much about determination, persistence and faith. Hers was a strong will, not at all negative, the only failure that was possible was one willed by God. If something needed doing, persistence would see it done. Faith in God and trust in His promises sustained her throughout her life. She will be greatly missed. Funeral service was held Wednesday, September 8 at 2:00 p.m. from Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn, with Pastor Ron Bestvater officiating. Interment followed in Stoughton Cemetery, Stoughton. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers.

STACH - Erich Rheinhold Avold Stach was born on February 24, 1921 at Belfanz, Germany, the eldest child of Adolf and Matilda (nee Unger). Sister Frieda was born two years later, before the family left for Canada. They emigrated from Hamburg on June 20, 1929, arriving at Quebec on July 9, and then taking the train across the country to Benson. Eric started school all over again, this time in English, attending the Menard, Holmes Lake, and Ossa schools as the family moved from one farm job to another. He was taken out of school at the age of 12 years to do farm and threshing work. In 1942, Dad bought the SE 25-6-9 quarter, and began the expansion of his own farm. Erich helped break the land, but after a few years had a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized. He struggled against this condition for the rest of his life. When he was well enough, Erich returned to help his father on the farm, who had lived alone since Mother's breakdown in 1937. He kept the farm going until Dad retired in 1963 and moved into Stoughton. When Leonard took over the farm, Erich lived on the farm for a few years, until moving into Dad's house to attend to him during his cancer. He lived in Stoughton until moving into Weyburn in 1995 in order to be closer to Leonard and Marlene. Erich loved old time music. He always had polka music going on, and stayed up late on Saturday nights listening to the polka broadcasts on the radio. There had been a few courtships and some girls he took to the dances, and maybe listening brought back pleasant memories. He owned a violin and guitar as well. He always kept an open door for his friends and family and appreciated any kindness they showed to him. Baptized and confirmed in the Woodley Lutheran Church, Erich believed in God and kept his Bible, hymn book and catechism close at hand. He appreciated the visits of friends who would pray and share their faith with him, for he struggled all his life with alcoholism. Recently the pain was getting so bad that he had to go to the hospital in Weyburn. He was told that only 10% of lung capacity was left to him, and went back home on a nebulizer. Only a few days later, on Friday, July 14, 2001, in his 81st year, Erich died of an abdominal aneurysm. Erich was predeceased by an infant sister, Gretel, in Germany; his father in 1964 and his mother in 1978; brother-in-law Robert McKnight, and uncles Berthold (Anna) Stach, Otto (Tillie), Harry (Helen), and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Vic took great pleasure in the simple things in life a great game of cribbage or canasta with friends, or a peaceful day on the lake whether the fish were biting or not. He was a loyal friend and his greatest joy was time spent with family or friends. He was willing to help anyone in need, be it with a word or two of wisdom, or sharing of resources as the situation warranted. Independent almost to the end, Vic lived a long and fruitful life on earth, but in the words of a great-granddaughter Jesus came down and made a bed in his arms and took Grandpa gently to heaven.

People from all walks of life looked to Johan's open door for a trusted confidante and generous benefactor, as well as a place at his table. All were welcomed. Professionally, Johan was the pharmacist in Stoughton for 37 years, where his customer service and attention to detail were legendary and echoed in everything he did. Johan was also a talented journeyman carpenter and craftsman, as evidenced by his exquisite functional reproductions of vintage furniture, farm machinery and horse drawn wagons. Many facilities and institutions in rural communities exist only through volunteer drive and the initiative of community leaders. Johan was instrumental in establishing and maintaining the White Lake Golf Course and the Stoughton Public Swimming Pool, the Stoughton Community Rink and the founding board of the local Credit Union. He was a tireless supporter of Zion Lutheran Church, local hockey and baseball organizations, the Stoughton public school board and the Stoughton and District Museum. Johan and Evelyn retired to the family farm in Estevan and rapidly immersed themselves in all aspects of church and community life. Their annual threshing bee was Johan and Evelyn's signature event that showcased their teamwork, and paid homage to the spirit and tradition of collective prairie harvest on the farm. A proud Canadian, Johan's Norwegian heritage was never far from the surface and formed the basis of many spirited national debates. A celebration of Johan's life was held at 5:00 p.m. Saturday December 30 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 738 2nd Street, Estevan. TERNEY - Barbara.

WALBAUM - Olga Elsie (nee Weise), late of Weyburn, SK passed away on Friday, June 22, 2007 at the age of 78 years. Olga was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Emilia Weise; her brothers: Rudolph (Bertha), Gus, Alex (Norrie), Fred, Ben(Louise) and Joe in infancy; sisters: Tillie, Edith, Annie and Marg (Jack); grandson, Dawson Walbaum and a son-inlaw, David McFarlane. She leaves to mourn her husband, Louis Walbaum, Stoughton; her children: Laurie (Lorraine) Walbaum, Weyburn, Diana McFarlane, Saskatoon, Randy Walbaum (Cindy Campbell), Stoughton and Darrin (Rhonda) Walbaum, Weyburn; seven grandchildren: Derrick (Risa) Walbaum, Crystal (Chaunce) Buniak, Brett Walbaum (Kyla Leptich), Anthony Campbell, Michelle Walbaum, Garett Walbaum and Cory Walbaum; three great-grandchildren: Blayke and Cooper Walbaum and Cooper Buniak; brother-inlaw, Gerrit Vandorp, Drayton Valley, AB; sister-in-law, Laura Weise, Stoughton as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Olga Elsie Weise was born September 27, 1928 at Benson, Saskatchewan. She was the 10th of 11 children born to Edward and Annie. Her parents immigrated from Volhynia, Russia in 1913, and settled in Winnipeg. They moved to Saskatchewan in 1914 and lived in the Benson district. Olga attended Ossa school. After completing grade 10 she moved to Regina for a brief time, then returned to Stoughton and worked at Harry Lee's cafe. She married Louis Walbaum in April 1952. They began their married life first renting and living on the Joe Burns farm, then the Mooney place. In 1954 they purchased their first farm south west of Forget and finally settled on the Walbaum family farm, north of Stoughton, in 1963, where Louis still resides today. They worked hard farming and raising their family. She enjoyed gardening with a large vegetable plot and lots of flowers. The first 3 years on the Walbaum farm they lived in the old farm house. Olga often told the story of finding the vanilla frozen in the cupboard when she went to do some baking. In 1965 they moved a new house onto the yard and Olga set about painting and getting it ready to move into. One day, just after Christmas, Louis went over to check it out and found that even though the duct work was not yet done, just having the furnace running in the basement, made the house warmer throughout than the old one ever was. They moved in to the new house just after New Year's and never looked back. Olga absolutely loved babies. This was evident equally with the first of her own children. Together Louis and Olga raised 4 children 3 boys and a girl. When her grandchildren and great grandchildren came along, she would fuss over them and hold them for hours, proudly proclaiming that she would be the first babysitter and the tinier the better. When they immigrated to Canada, Edward had family here but Annie never did. Perhaps that influenced Olga because her family was always very important to her. Any time help was needed she was quick to respond. This included caring for her mother, sisters and brothers as one by one they were afflicted with various diseases and conditions and once shared that she would have liked to have been a nurse, if circumstances would have allowed but funds were scarce in those years. It turned out she did a lot of nursing over the years anyway. She was deeply affected when her last brother, Ben, died on Hallowe'en evening, last year. Olga was a fiercely private person and truly enjoyed solitude. On Saturday nights the whole family would pack up and go to town but mom stayed home. Often she would take a long leisurely bath and then read the Stoughton Times and Weyburn Review from cover to cover, while listening to the Saturday Night Dance Party on the radio. She loved music and was known to cut a rug or two at various wedding dances until arthritis made getting around a chore. She did have both hips replaced but still suffered with chronic pain for nearly 30 years. Olga loved the color blue as anyone who visited her over the years would know. She painted many a room blue, she wore blue, and she collected all things in blue. Olga moved to Weyburn in August 1996 living at Legion Towers until her illness prevented her returning home. In her youth Olga regularly attended St. Luke's Lutheran Church at Woodley and was a long time member of Stoughton's Zion parish. Her faith was important to her and since moving to Legion Towers regularly attended multiple faith services. In April Olga's son-in-law passed away and alarm bells sounded loudly for the family when she was unable to attend the funeral. Her illness presented itself very suddenly, although on looking back there were signs of things being wrong for a long time. Cancer stole her mother, 5 of her siblings, her son-in-law, and now too Olga. She was dearly loved and will be sadly missed. The Funeral Service for Olga Walbaum was held on Tuesday, June 26th at 10:00 a.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, Stoughton, SK with Pastor Virgil D. Anderson officiating. Interment followed at Handsworth Cemetery, Handsworth, Saskatchewan. WALLACE - Sandra Mary (nee Lake) 1954 - 2008.

Marvin grew up on the family farm by Huntoon until 1988 at which time the family moved to Eston until 1991. The family moved to Weyburn until 1994. The family then returned back to the family farm at Huntoon. Marvin attended the following schools: Eston Elementary grades K-1; Souris School in Weyburn from grades 2-4; Griffin School from grades 5-9 - where Marvin was on the Honor Roll throughout grade nine; Weyburn Comprehensive from grades 10-12. Marvin just graduated grade twelve on June 26, 2002. Marvin loved sports. He started with tee ball in Eston and continued to play baseball until he sustained an injury while pitching in 1997. Marvin was a great pitcher once he got control of the ball. He always did have the speed. They made provincials in Tisdale and that was the last time he played, as he could no longer throw the ball any distance. From there he concentrated on soccer, he did a great job. They made it to provincials in Moose Jaw. From there Marvin concentrated on golf. Marvin made the school golf team and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Marvin spent a lot of time golfing in Stoughton with his grandpa, Fred LaValley, as well as curling.Marvin got involved in boxing for a while and enjoyed it to a point. He enjoyed the sport just for the fun of it and the challenge of sparring against friends. Marvin and the guys got together at noon to play basketball during their lunch break at the Comp., which we hear was pretty intense and sometimes continued on after school at the park. Marvin was very athletic. He enjoyed every sport he participated in. He would go sledding with the guys out at the Badlands and at Kenosee Lake. Marvin lived life to the fullest. There was not much he would not and could not do and when he had his mind made up you could never change it. He was very strong willed. Marvin loved to help his dad out on the farm with the field work as long as driving was in the plan. He loved to harrow or even pick rocks. He drove the grain truck in the fall, along with his brother. Marvin would always lend a helping hand, and when he was at home he enjoyed helping out one neighbor in particular. Marvin enjoyed the family traditions we made over the years. Three in particular were going to Calgary to Calaway Park, then onto Banff and Lake Louise, where we would hike up the mountain so he could play in the snow. We would also go to Kenosee Lake for a picnic then up to the fresh water spring north of Whitewood and we would hike to the top. Marvin would always race and be the first one to the top. We only missed one year out of 14. When Marvin was younger, he loved to go to Trossachs camp. Marvin loved to play basketball at camp and continued to go to camp until 2000. It was there that Cam had the privilege of baptizing Marvin at the age of 10 years. He will always be missed and remembered. We loved him dearly and will always have a special place in our hearts.
