On Thursday January 22, 2004, three days short of her 104th birthday, Jesus released Margaret Lanz, late of Weyburn, from her physical burdens, took her by the hand and led her home.

Margaret Lanz, the oldest of seven children, was born January 25, 1900 in New Schlessel, Russia. She came to Canada with her family on November 9, 1910. Their ship docked in Quebec; from there they boarded a CPR train enroute to Regina. She had very little schooling in Russia and was unable to attend school in Canada. Margaret could recall vividly the Regina cyclone of 1912, and told her family the story many times. Margaret was always helping and looking after someone. After her father's death in 1913, she worked very hard to earn as much money as she could to help her mother with her younger sister and brothers. Her first job was at the Regina Steam Laundry; very hard work for a child of 13. For a time Margaret also worked at the Grey Nuns Hospital and later she worked for a prominent Regina doctor and his wife looking after their children and doing the housework. In 1915, after her mother married, Margaret moved to Vibank where she worked for Anthony and Hanna Hook, doing housework and looking after their children. There was no power so the work was very hard as everything had to be done by hand. On October 31, 1916, Margaret married Mike Lanz, a very hard working and capable man. After their marriage Mike and Margaret lived in the Vibank area for a short time before moving to Chamberlain in 1917. They moved again to Parry in 1921. Ten years later they moved to the Minton District in January of 1931, to NW quarter section 27, township 1, range 20, west of the 2nd. After moving to the Minton area, eight dry years followed. The thirties were hard times. The soil was dry as powder and blew away. The wheat was short and the land was full of thistles. Neighbours helped each other out, and Margaret helped anyone who needed her. She worked very hard. She milked nine cows and sold the cream to pay the grocery bill. She hatched her own chickens and turkeys. Every drop of water needed for washing and cooking had to be carried. Margaret cooked on a coal stove in the winter and on a wood stove in the heat of summer. Butchering was so much work as the meat had to be salted or canned so it would keep. With the birth of 12 children, Margaret's workload was even more endless. Sewing for her large family was a must! Her daughters recall their mother making them matching dresses complete with starched hats. Margaret could mend anything so you didn't even know there was a hole in it. Margaret worked hard clothing and feeding her large family. She made good nourishing lunches for her children who attended school. Mike and the boys hired out on threshing rigs, and at threshing time there were many hungry men to feed. Margaret was a wonderful cook and baker! She baked the best bread and buns! She baked her own buns until she was 97 years old. Many who passed by the farm got to taste some of her delicious fresh bread. Many a neighbour bachelor got to take a loaf or two home when he left. She made casenipfla and dumphnoodla and the best fried children anyone ever tasted. Her secret ingredient was putting fresh cream over the chicken when it was finishing baking in the oven. Everything was made from scratch with her own special recipes. Margaret always had a big garden and could grow anything. She felt closest to God in her garden. She loved it on the farm and moving to town in 1958 was a big change for her. Her work habits were so different. Mike and Margaret celebrated their 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries together. On March 18, 1978, Margaret lost her life-long partner of 61 years. After Mike's death Margaret kept busy in her yard and garden. When working outdoors she had many a good visit with neighbours or with friends who passed by. Margaret's hands were always busy; sewing clothes for herself, crocheting, doing cross stitch, making table cloths and dolls and Margaret's church and her God were very important to her. She was a very active member of Bergfield Church in the early years and in later years St. Eugene's Parish in Minton. She helped whenever she was needed. She worked at many a fowl supper always generously donating the best she had! Margaret attended mass for as long as she could then in later years she said her mass prayers at home and received Holy Communion at least once a week. Margaret was very proud of her heritage and her Catholic faith and loved to share both with her family. With the help of Home Care and some of her family, Margaret was able to remain in her own home in Minton until she was 9912 years old. On July 19, 1999 Margaret moved to the Weyburn Special Care Home. She loved company and was always such a wonderful hostess, first on the farm, then in her home in Minton and even in her new home in Weyburn. She always had something special to share with her guests, whether it was good food (cookies or chocolates for her great grandchildren) or good conversation. Whenever anyone visited with her you could marvel at her wisdom. She had so much to talk about and so many life stories to tell from over a century's worth of living. Margaret had a deep abiding faith in God and it was this faith that helped her through the deaths of so many family members that went on before her. She knew that God loved her and would someday welcome her home too. Margaret loved her family and was so proud of everyone of them. She included every family member in her daily prayers and rosaries. Her rosary was one of her most treasured possessions. Margaret always felt the reason God kept her so long on this earth was that he still had work for her to do here. She felt her work was to pray often and for everyone. Margaret celebrated her 100th, 101st, 102nd and 103rd birthday at the Weyburn Special Care Home. She was the treasured matriarch of the Lanz and Schaeffer families. Margaret was a gift from God to her family and now she is a gift to God. We, her family, ask God to take care of this very special lady, who we were so lucky to have had with us for so many years. She has been such an important part of our lives for so long, it's hard to image not having her around anymore, but memories are a precious thing and we have plenty of those to cherish. All of us, her 132 descendants, carry a part of her with us and at times will say or do something a certain way because of her. We will always remember Margaret and share our memories of her with others, especially the generations to come. She will live on through the stories we her family will tell. Margaret Lanz was an amazing woman and we were all so very proud of her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Prayers were held Sunday January 25, at 7:30 p.m. The funeral mass was held Monday, January 26, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Weyburn.

Eva will be greatly missed by all her family and the innumerable friends that she and Tommy made in many parts of the world as a result of their frequent travels. She will be remembered for her positive outlook on life, her love of laughter, home cooking, (especially Grandma's apple strudel), card playing, telling family stories and for making wine from almost anything, often stored in unique locations, for example, an ironing board cupboard. Over the years, Eva and Tom had several restaurant businesses and homes in Vancouver, New West, Harrison, Whonnock, Powell River, Burnaby, Delta and Surrey. These experiences gave Eva life smarts and people smarts. She had a remarkable memory for all of these experiences and our family history, which contributed to her wonderful storytelling abilities. We will all think fondly of Eva and Tom at the Burger family picnics playing novelty games, badminton, enjoying food and family. Eva liked to talk about all the changes she had seen in her 101 years of life. Sod huts to skyscrapers, quills and ink to the internet, horses to skytrains, and time spent with family to TV and video games. Progress has not always brought improvements. There will be no services by her request. LEBOLDUS - Anysia (Sister Anna, I.B.V.M.) died peacefully at Loretto Infirmary, Toronto, on Friday, November 27th, 2009.

THAUBERGER - Joseph Thauberger was born August 26, 1909 in Bessarabia (now Moldova) and came to Saskatchewan at the age of 2. He farmed at Vibank, where he joined the provincial Social Credit Party in 1935. He ran in the 1938 provincial election in the Qu�Appelle� Wolseley constituency. Despite coming in third in that election and the next four elections in Humboldt constituency, Thauberger�s conviction in his beliefs was not diminished. He was elected the first president of the Social Credit Party in 1949 and acclaimed as the president of the Social Credit League in 1952. These positions gave Thauberger a political platform for speaking out against the control of the economy by the government and the banks. After 1956 Thauberger did not run in any more provincial elections, but continued to teach Social Credit policy. He was elected president of the Catholic section of the Saskatchewan School Trustees Association for 1964�65. In 1972 he wrote a book that explained his economic ideas in layman�s terms. During the 1980s Thauberger parted ways with the Social Credit Party, believing that it had become too radical. He founded the Canada Party, a federal party that embodied many of the same ideals as Social Credit at the height of its popularity. Thauberger ran in the 1993 federal election as its leader at the age of 84. He announced his retirement from politics following the election. Thauberger died in Regina on April 21, 1998.
