ANDREW - Craig Barry. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Craig Barry Andrew on December 29, 2008. Craig passed away peacefully and with Marg by his side. He was 54 years old. Craig is survived and lovingly remembered by his partner Marg Hayes; father Barry Andrew; brother Reed (Joan) Andrew, their children: Shane, Jeremy and Jessica; sister Joan (Ken) Thomas, their son Dallas; Marg's sisters; Dolores Riley, Pat (Ian) MacNeill, Roberta (Gordon) Laughland, and Kathy (Mike) Ratuski. Craig also leaves to cherish his memory uncles, aunts, cousins and a community of dear friends and colleagues. Craig is predeceased by his mother Mabel Andrew. Craig was born on April 11, 1954 in Regina and raised on Duncairn farm north of Regina. His love for the cattle industry began at an early age. The third word he learned to speak after "moma" and "dada" was "cow". He was involved in 4-H throughout his youth and started taking purebred Shorthorns to shows in his early teens, a practice he continued throughout his life. Craig started school at Sterling - a one-room school a half-mile from his home. He graduated from Luther College in 1972 and U of S Voc Ag in 1975. Craig was a competitive curler in high school and a recreational curler and avid fan all his life. Craig started his Paragon herd and moved to Qu'Appelle in 1976 where his son Matthew was born. Craig became involved in various livestock and community organizations, including Saskatchewan and Canadian Shorthorn Associations, Saskatchewan Livestock Centre, Canadian Western Agribition, Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and the Qu 'Appelle & District Lions Club. 1985 saw Marg and Craig purchase and develop their current home and cattle operation in the McLean, QuAppelle area (NE 29-18-15 W2). Ever an entrepreneur, Craig tackled many endeavours, the latest being Second Time Office Equipment. Severely tasked by his death, we grieve, but also feel blessed and rejoice in remembering and honouring his life. The family would also like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all those who have supported us through the 17 months since Craig's diagnosis and especially the last two very difficult days of his life. We are truly grateful for your help. A special thank you to Lani Antoine, RN, Indian Head EMS, Dr. S. Bester, Dr. S. McMillan, Dr. Zarcovick; and the chemotherapy team at Alan Blair Cancer Centre for their care.
ASHDOWN- Glenda Ashdown passed away on December 20, 2021 at the age of 78. Glenda is survived by her loving family, her husband, John, her three sons, Mitchel, James (Lisa) and Keith (Leanne) and four grandchildren Evan, Amy (Zach), Morgan and Keli, sister Nancy (Peter) Sikora and sisters in law Sandra, Joyce, Ruth and Lil. She was predeceased by her parents Glen and Rose (Hiebert) Bashforth, two brothers, Robert and Richard, and her daughter Myrna Heroux (Ashdown).
On July 24, 1943, Glen and Rose Bashforth welcomed daughter Glenda Marguerite to the world in Saskatoon. Glenda was raised on a farm near Okla, Saskatchewan and attended school in Okla, Hazel Dell, Sturgis and Preeceville. After high school she lived in Winnipeg for 2 years while attending hairdressing school.
Glenda married John Ashdown on November 24, 1962. They lived in Moose Jaw and Regina, welcoming 4 children (Mitchel, James, Keith and Myrna) over the next 8 years. While in Regina, Glenda babysat pre-school kids from the block for most of those years. She always maintained a small garden in the back yard. The family traveled to Plentywood Montana every spring to pick rocks (Montana agate and petrified wood) as John did some lapidary work. They also went to visit and help their parents in the Okla and Hazel Dell area most weekends.
The family move to the small farm north of McLean in June of 1970 was the delight of Glendas life. They bought a ¼ section of land complete with buildings, machinery, a dozen beef cows, 3 sows and a pen of hogs, 100 chickens and a very large garden and yard. The garden always produced under Glendas green thumb and she soon had flower beds and hedges of caragana, spruce and Siberian elm; raspberries, strawberries and haskaps. It was a great place to raise their children. Glenda soon added milk cows (Holstein and jersey), and she milked and shipped cream. She bought baby bull calves from neighbor dairies and raised them to butcher size and raised some hogs as well. When the creamery in Regina closed, they sold the cream quota and milk cows, and increased the beef herd. In 2015 they retired from active farming and rented out the farmland and pasture.
Also, during this time Glenda was busy raising her three boys, Mitch, James, Keith and daughter, Myrna to her standard. The kids all had chores every day and helped with whatever had to be done. The work had to be done before the family could take off on their many expeditions. She maintained her house and yard very well, always neat and tidy.
Glenda officially joined the Scouting movement in 1977 as the two oldest boys were active in Scouting and wanting to attend a Canadian Jamboree in P.E.I., they needed to register the group and obtain a charter. John was chairperson, Glenda was secretary treasurer. She remained in the treasurer role until 2021 when her health failed. In 1978 Glenda gave up the secretary role but became the head Cub leader, continuing in this role for years. She also worked as group commissioner, beaver leader and wherever else she could help. She ran regular Cub meetings, and attended many camps at the farm, District Camps at Gilwell near Lebret, Provincial camps at Moose Jaw, Anglin Lake and Prince Albert. She even spent a week at a Canadian Jamboree in Prince Edward Island as staff. She also went along as a helper on several Venturer outings in Waterton Park, Banff, and canoe trips North of LaRonge on the Churchill River. She participated in Campanoe Challenge Camp with the Scout group leading both first year at Good Spirit Lake and second year on the Assiniboine River from Kamsack to Pyott's Point.
Glenda was always a leader with the group in Scouting both local and on the district level, training Cub leaders for many years and was the backbone of the group from fundraising to leading activities. She prepared the menus and put the food together for all canoe trips on the Churchill River making jerky, fruit leathers and other dehydrated items so they did not carry extra weight.
Glenda loved auction sales and attended most of the local farm auctions, got to meet the neighbors and buying a lot of calves, tools and even some equipment.
Glenda became involved with the McLean Womens Club, and Recreation Board soon after moving to McLean, providing meals for New Years Eve Cabaret, Sports Day supper, Dinner Theater, weddings funerals and family functions. Glendas garden provided a lot of vegetables and fruit for these events as did her pies and other baking. Glenda was also quite involved with the McLean Bethel United Church, both the UCW as well as the local Board.
Glenda kept as active as she could right to the end. She organized the making of cabbage rolls on December 2, 2021 for the McLean Christmas Parade on December 4th, and on that day, she was in the kitchen supervising the luncheon put on by the Scouting Group. She even had her picture taken with Santa and members of the Scout Group.
Glenda liked to travel, and found some holiday time to take several trips with Dutch friends Ekke and Magda Kok, including the West Coast trail on Vancouver Island and the Chilkoot gold rush trail in Northern BC to Alaska. She also took 2 ship cruises from Vancouver to Skagway, Alaska, one with Fay Spencer and the other with Alf and Betty Reece.
From about 1980 to 2000, John and Glenda enjoyed winter holidays in Las Vegas for a week each year doing lots of touring and sightseeing but no windfall at the machines. Starting in 2003 the winter holidays shifted to Cuba. It was a wonderful, beautiful country for a winter vacation! They took many tours into tourist spots in cities, rivers, the ocean and into the countryside. The best visits were to local homes for a Cuban meal, often lobster, or chicken with a full array of local vegetables and fruit. They loved to visit local homes and Glenda always had clothes and school supplies for the children there. They made many friends especially in the resorts. Glenda made 13 trips to Cuba between 2003 and 2020 with John, Myrna and other family and friends including Jim Roszelle (and his mother Marion), sister-in-law Sandra Bashforth, sister Nancy Sikora (and her daughter Dawn), and friend Joan Forbister.
Glenda also spent time at the family cabin on McLennan Lake North of LaRonge for a few days each summer; fishing for lake trout, picking blueberries or just relaxing. The funeral service and internment was held Saturday, June 4th, 2022 in the McLean School Gym with Officiant Jo Mader, Internment in the McLean Cemetery, and a lunch in the McLean School gymnasium.
This poem the family received on her passing expresses Glenda quite well:
There are:
So many memories that bring a smile and show the wonderful person she was.
So many stories About how she made a difference or made someones day
So Many Hearts That are feeling sadness.
So many lives she touched in a positive way
Because she was here - because she was loved.
ASHWORTH Joseph William. On June 25, 1989, Joseph William Ashworth passed away peacefully at Echo Lodge, Fort Qu'Appelle. Joseph was born and raised in McLean, the youngest son of Joseph and Bertha (Massey) Ashworth and brother of Clarence. Joseph received his education in McLean. He met his lifetime mate, Mabel Kathryn Bowie when she came to McLean as a school teacher. They were married May 24th, 1939. As a youth, Joseph was well known for his hockey and baseball talents which have been an inspiration to his grandchildren, as he never lost interest in sports. Joseph owned and operated a farm first with his father and later with his brother. After dairy farming for years they switched to beef in 1961. Joseph also did custom trucking for many farmers. After retiring Joseph became a great help to his farming sons-in-law. Joseph was also an avid gardener - after a long hard day farming he'd still be seen working in the garden. There were always more vegetables grown than the Ashworth's required. Joseph and Mabel had three daughters: Dorothy, Joanne and Jean. They later gained three sons-in-law: Emery Schettler, Larry McGown and Larry McCullough and thus seven grandchildren: Calla, Chara and Crystal; Janaya and Gavin; Curtis and Barden. Joseph was extremely proud of his family and was always a good husband, father and grandfather. He was very talented at poem recitation which we all enjoyed. Our family time was very precious as Dad was a hard-working agricultural man. Joseph was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Bertha and his beloved wife, Mabel Kathryn on January 18, 1985. He leaves to mourn, his family: Dorothy and Emery Schettler, Calla, Chara and Crystal; Joanne and Larry McGown, Janaya and Gavin; Jean and Larry McCullough, Curtis and Barden. Joseph resided at Echo Lodge, Fort Qu'Appelle for the past four years. When in good health he enjoyed humoring the staff and the musical programs. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Funeral service was held at Speers Funeral Chapel, Wednesday, June 28th, 1989 at 3:30 p.m. with the Rev. Holly Shick officiating. Interment was in Regina Memorial Gardens.

Geographically she may not have moved far from having grown up on a dairy farm at McLean and then moving not so many miles away to a grain farm at Sedley, but the range of her intellect and knowledge was far reaching. A voracious reader ñ she made light work of the Encyclopedia Britannia A-Z, cover to cover ñ which no doubt contributed to her ability to complete flawlessly, in ink, the most difficult crossword puzzles and defeat all comers at Scrabble. Her cooking and sewing skills were legendary (her pies were most sought after at the local Fall Supper) and lovingly passed them along to her grandchildren. It was a privilege to know her, to call her wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She will be missed but never forgotten. And just so there is no mistake: St. Peter, when she arrives at your Pearly Gates the code word is ìGrankyî and she above all others deserves to be admitted. Evelynís last days were made comfortable by the exceptional staff at the Regina General Hospital, in particular the nurses on 5A (Sheila you were our rock), SICU and 6A, whose compassion and care are very much appreciated by her family - thank you.

Jim and his brother Dave farmed together for 45 years in many locations, including Jedburg, Balgonie, Indian Head, Zehner, and finally Richardson, McLean, and Pilot Butte. Jim's connection with farm, family, and friends flowed very strong in his veins and the times spent with them made very special memories for those of us who are left behind. Prior to full time farming, Jim worked at many different and interesting jobs working for Dennis Porter, cutting pulp in Ontario, and many years in the "car game n with Canadian Motors Ltd. and others. Jimmy lived a full life and loved to laugh. He is famous for his good natured teasing at home or in his travels. We will dearly miss him.

BRAY, Horace The recent death of Mr. Horace Bray of McLean, Saskatchewan, came as a shock to that district in which he spent his entire life since he was born in 1893. He was well and favorably known. His farming operations were varied from the old days of horses and threshing crews with steam for power, to the more recent days of mechanical power. The neighbors for whom he sharpened plow shares have mostly preceded him. He was well known in community and social work, such as telephone work, school board, and church, as a member of the session. An auto harp, which he played, and a bass voice singing in church, are some things that his friends will remember. When life and death are inevitable, Mr. Bray will be sorely missed by wife, family, and his friends.

EKBERG Myrita. November 6, 1943 - April 19, 2020.
Myrita Ekberg always planted too many tomatoes. A consummate farmer and lover of nature, Myrita began and ended her life in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. We announce her passing on April 19th, 2020 with enormous grief, and yet with the comfort that her suffering is now over. She was predeceased by her parents John and Ita and her brother Garry. She is survived by many who mourn her passing. These include her loving husband Bill Rees; her brother Ron (Roberta) and his children Keri and Paul; her eldest daughter Yvonne (Morris) and grandchildren Eric and Robin; her son Quentin; her youngest daughter Carmen (Glenn) and grandchildren Emma and John; and her husband's children William, Jacqueline, Gerald and Molly.
Myrita was worthy of the Ekberg name, one of a line of strong women of boundless optimism and good humour. She was the first child of John and Ita Ekberg of the Freedhome district in the Stockholm area of Saskatchewan. They lived on the John Ekberg homestead until 1957 when thefamily moved to the Wolseley area. From an early age, she showed her great love of animals and the natural world. As a little girl, she loved frogs, which she kept in large wash tubs on the familyfarm as her pets. Even in her early years, she understood that we must take care of the small things in nature as everything is connected.
Her adult journey brought her to Regina and then to British Columbia where she married and hadher family. She lived in the Vancouver area and then in the Okanagan valley, in Naramata where she had connections to Keremeos and to the Parsons family fruit orchard.
Before long, Myrita found herself back in Saskatchewan -- a prairie girl to the end! For many years she worked with Indian and Northern affairs in Regina. Myrita lived in McLean Saskatchewan for a number of years and while there she volunteered much time to the Scouting movement. Ever active, she "retired" in the eighties to take up organic farming on family land, on the original Hilmar Ekberg homestead. This was a new chapter in her life with husband Bill Rees. Here she was truly at home again, in the wide-open spaces that Saskatchewan has in such abundance. She loved her garden and feeding the birds -- even the little sparrows --, lessons learned from her mother Ila.
At a time when organic farming and concern for the environment is such a commonplace, we canforget how forward-thinking Myrita was. In the eighties, neither was a popular preoccupation. But for Myrita, her passions were a way of life. Back in the eighties, she tackled waste in the government office by organizing office-wide recycling. And it goes without saying that she poured her heart and skill into excellence in organic farming and gardening, and sharing her regular bumper crop of tomatoes!
It would be a mistake to assume that Myrita's path was an easy one, but as a true Ekberg woman, she never complained and remained remarkably optimistic even in her later years, despite all her health issues. Close to her death, she was talking about getting a prosthesis for her amputated leg, as she had not been able to walk for the better part of a year. Perhaps Myrita's optimism was fuelled by her extensive relationships. She loved and was loved by many. She was friendly to all. Quick to offer praise and encouragement, she was fiercely proud of her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
We, her family, offer special thanks to Dr. Net, the staff at Esterhazy Centennial Nursing Home and Saint Anthony's Hospital in Esterhazy for their compassionate care in Myrita's final months. She was an Ekberg woman to the very end! She has left us bereft, but consoled by her good humour and so many wonderful memories. Rest in peace, Myrita. Our love for you and our family will sustain us. Our hearts are heavy. Let us allhelp each other in the days ahead. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

HUTTON, Gladys Margaret -June 7, 1922 - . Gladys Margaret Hutton was born on June 7th, 1922 at the Regina General Hospital. She was the 2 nd child of Ethel and Tom Hutton of McLean Saskatchewan. Gladys grew up with 3 sisters, Grace, Dorothy and Jean. She was raised on a farm southeast of McLean until she was old enough to start school at which time her family moved into town. Her father milked cows for Tom and Marie Moffatt which is now the Coghill Dairy Farm just south of town. Gladys was only 10 years old when her mother passed away.Her sister Grace moved to Regina to live with their Grandma Prizeman leaving Gladys to help her dad raise her 2 younger sisters. While going to school, she'd run home at recess to punch down the bread or put water on the stove so she could wash clothes after school. Grace married Nick Marcia in 1936 and moved into a mud house south of town. Gladys met her husband, John Adam Weist, while out at the farm helping Grace with her children. John started visiting Gladys at her house in McLean and they were soon going to dances at the school and town hall. John was called to the army but on one of his weekend leaves in March of 1942, Gladys and John were married at the Anglican Church in McLean. Three days later John was called back to the army and many letters were sent back and forth between the new couple. When the war was over, John and Gladys purchased the Cowan farm south of McLean and started their life together. For Gladys, it was back to milking cows and shipping milk. Their eldest son Gary was born in March of 1947 and 2 nd son Larry in November of 1950. Gladys was very thankful to have her father around to help with her sons. Every day started the same, get up early to get the cows milked so John could get the cans of milk to the station by 8:00am in time for morning train. While John took the milk to town, Gladys would let the cows out to water, feed them hay and clean the barn. Then the housework would begin, bath the children, wash clothes, cook, clean and get ready to do it all again the next day. Gary and Larry had about a 1/2 mile walk every day from the farm to Silverstone School. As John purchased more land, it came with mixed. blessings. They had more opportunity for income but also more opportunity to pick rocks and roots from the land. Gladys loved gardening and always maintained a large garden. She spent many hours canning foods to last the long cold winters. Gladys was sure glad when the boys were old enough to help out with the farm chores and even more excited when electricity came in 1954. They got lights, milkers and coolers that made life around the farm a lot easier John and Gladys built a new home in 1963. With the new home came several new conveniences including piped in water and not having to haul anymore firewood. In March of 1967, John and Gladys celebrated their 25 wedding anniversary with a supper and dance for family and friends at the town hall in McLean. A sad time came later that year in August when her father passed away. Grandchildren would come next for Gladys when Gary married Rita, Rita having 2 beautiful daughters; Wanda and Roxanne. Larry married Elaine in April of 1975. Larry and Elaine moved a mile north of John and Gladys's farm and began a dairy operation. They gave Gladys 4 grandchildren, Trevor in 1976, John in 1980, Tracy in 1982 and Joseph in 1993. Another sad time came in September of 1977 when John passed away quickly. At 55 years of age, Gladys had to learn how to live alone. Over the years, Gladys enjoyed playing BUNCO with her friends in town, going to Cribbage Tournaments with Dorothy Martin and frequent trips to spend valuable time with her sisters in both White Rock and Edmonton. Gladys also enjoyed keeping her niece Marge company whenever she could. She spends a lot of time with her sons Larry and Gary who both make sure Gladys has everything she needs. Gladys was also very community oriented including canvassing for the McLean Fall Supper right up until 2010. She thoroughly enjoys spending time with family and friends, her children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren.

LlNNEN, Bradley. 1964- 2020. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Brad, who passed away peacefully in the early hours of March 4, 2020. He was predeceased by his parents, Cliff and Diana Linnen; brother-in-law, Doug Hobson; and good friend, Dave Marshall. Brad will be dearly missed by his wife of 19 years, Stacy; children Kim (Dustin) Himour, Chris Linnen (Breanna Gillespie), Emily and Bridget Linnen; granddaughter Kayleigh; sisters Christine (Rob) Roflik and Jennifer (Wayne) Patterson; mother and father in-law, Judith and Barry Hobson; sister-in-law Siobhan (Chris) Brown; aunts and uncles; nieces and nephews; cousins and extended family, as well as his many friends. Brad followed in his father's footsteps working in sales, finding a passion in appliances. He enjoyed connecting with people, and his customers' happiness was always his first priority. On his days off, you could usually find Brad on the golf course for a quick round or sitting at a favourite fishing spot, casting from shore. His favourite time of year was the few weeks in summer when he loaded up his kayak and ventured to Minnesota with his son to spend lazy days floating on a river, soaking up the beauty of nature and (if he was lucky) enjoying the catch of the day for supper. During the last year of his life, Brad bravely battled cancer, enduring surgery as well as radiation and immunotherapy treatments. Not once was he angry or resentful about his circ*mstances, choosing instead to reflect on memories and enjoy the time he had left with his family. Brad saw every day as a blessing. We will all miss hearing Brad scream "Ya baby!" to the TV during an Oiler game, along with his quirky sense of humour and the way he laughed so hard at his own jokes he was often unable to finish the punch line. We are sure that Brad and his dad are enjoying every sunset, and he and Dave are walking the back nine. The health and safety of Brad's family and friends was very important to him, and we know that he would not want to put anyone in jeopardy. In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments and increased government restrictions on public gatherings and after much discussion we, Brad's family, have decided to postpone funeral services previously scheduled on April 11, 2020 in McLean, SK. Thank you for your understanding and support. We are sorry for any inconvenience and upset this may cause. Take care of each other. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to are welcomed to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society 1910 Mcintyre Street, Regina, SK S4P 2R3. We would also like to thank all our friends and family who have supported us through this journey, as well as both the staff at Indian Head Union Hospital and Lakeside Nursing Home in Wolseley for laughing at all Brad's jokes and taking such good care of him over the last few months. Online condolences may be made at www.tubmanfh.com To send flowers to the family of Bradley Linnen, please visit Tribute Store.

NESSMAN - Joseph John. In rememberance of our uncle and great uncle Joe Nessman, who was born at Avonlea, Sask. on August 5, 1908, to Joseph and Caroline (Scida) Nessman. From Avonlea the family moved to Regina, and eventually to the Qu'Appelle, McLean District. Due to Granpa Nessman's illness the family then moved to Portland Oregon, where they engaged in dairy farming and operated a small fruit orchard, plus working in a factory. After a few years in U.S.A. the family moved back to the Qu'Appelle farm, where Dad (Ted) and uncle Joe made their home. As children growing up we remember Uncle Joe's kindness and good will to us and others. He loved his garden of vegetables and was especially fond of his flower beds. Seeding and harvest times were Uncle Joe's favorite times of the year. We remember him best on the farm picking stones with him and helping with the haying. He would make it as much fun as possible. Uncle Joe always tried to make our work more of a pleasure than a chore. In 1971, Dad (Ted) decided it was time to sell the farm as we kids were grown up and on our own. Dad found a house for Uncle Joe to live in, in Qu'Appelle where he resided for the next 12 years of his life. Again, he loved his garden and when one of us didn't, he had a basket full for us. He had a great love for animals. He had his dog, Poochy to keep him company. As far back as we can remember, Uncle Joe's love for us and our children kept him spry and happy. He enjoyed the birthday parties of our children and other family gatherings. He always had a bag of goodies for the children when he came to visit. We all miss our dear Uncle Joe since his passing on January 17, 1986.

Don passed away peacefully at Golden Prairie Home in Indian Head on Friday, September 30,2016. Don was born and raised on the farm south of McLean, SK and was the youngest of three children. Quitting school at an early age to help out on the farm, he continued working alongside his father, hauling cream to town and tending the fields. Dan's generosity was only surpassed by his love to dance. Often the first one on the dance floor, and the last one to leave! He also loved singing in the barn while milking the cows, playing fastball, hunting, and helping others whenever the opportunity arose. Don married his wife of 56 years, Dorothy, in 1960 in Regina, and started their family on the farm. In 1968 they moved to Regina where he worked as a stationary engineer, all the while continuing to spend most of his spare time, also working on the farm. Don eventually grew tired of city life and returned to the farm, which was where he always wanted to be. There he spent several years enjoying the peaceful lifestyle and his grandchildren, while grain farming, raising chickens, guinea hens, and cattle. We would like to thank Golden Prairie Home for making his last years comfortable and allowing him to continue dancing and enjoying the music he loved so much. At Don's request, a private interment with immediate family will take place later in the week.

OLEKSOW - Paul, loving Dad and Papa to Linda (Don) Topolinsky, Terry (Debra) Oleksow, Tami (Merlin) Potschka, Tamara, Breanne, Korey, Brandon and Brooklyn passed away on November 25, 2002. Paul was born on January 04, 1927 in Paris, France. His parents immigrated to the Hazel Del area of Saskatchewan when he was 6 months old. His working career started early and included helping on the family farm, working on a trapline in the Hudson Bay forest area, working on road crews and then with the City of Regina. With an incredible work ethic and a natural ability to skillfully operate all kinds of equipment, Paul started and successfully ran Queen City Tree Service and Landscaping for almost 40 years. Many projects throughout southern Saskatchewan still bear testimony to his eye for detail and his ability to imagine and then shape his ideas into reality. Pay-loaders, graders, back-hoes were like an extension of Paul under his masterful touch. He was even flown to Arizona by a large equipment manufacturer so he could demonstrate the potential of their loaders to other customers. Regina is filled with many memorials to Paul's talent; golf courses, government buildings, churches, schools and many private homes. Paul worked hard and he loved to play hard and laugh loud. From unforgettable "Rook" games, moose-hunting expeditions, camping, ski-dooing treks, parades and antique buying experiences, he loved being with people and telling colorful stories. He also had great compassion for animals and his "rescue operations" for missing dogs will forever be one of our fondest memories. In 1954 Paul married Jenny Tataryn, a girl from back home, and they were devoted partners until her death in 1994. Their devotion to each other, through both good and hard times, was an example of a deep love that can only come from the Author of Love, our Savior Jesus Christ. Paul's love for his wife and children extended to his thoughts and desires for us all to be reunited with her someday at our victorious Lord's return. His love included sacrificing for his children and grandchildren as he contributed to their Christian educations. This will always be an inspiration to us and we pray that this investment will yield so many returns that it will take all of eternity to hear about them all. Paul's life will be celebrated at the Hill Ave Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 3720 Hill Ave. on Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 1:00 p.m. Interment at McLean Cemetery.

Vina May Runge January 21, 1989 marks the passing of Mrs. Vina May Runge, late of Regina, formerly of McLean, Sask. Vina was born on a farm near Balgonie on April 27, 1908, being the eldest of seven children born to Ernest and Mary Ann Betteridge. Growing up on a farm in the Kendal district, Vina was no stranger to slopping pigs, teaching calves to drink from a pail, harnessing teams of horses, working in the fields, and caring for her younger sisters and brothers. Even though sometimes feeling she was raised as a boy, there was one aspect of farm living that she always looked forward to and loved dear1y. Threshing time! Perhaps it was the excitement of friends and neighbours working in harmony with the horses to bring the grain in from the fields, or perhaps this love of threshing time had something to do with the dancing that took place when the day's work was complete! "Someone always could play an accordian" she once told me. Vina's love of oldtime music and dance remained with her throughout her life. At the age of fifteen, Vina, began attending community dances, with her father fooling many of her friends who refused to believe that Vina's "boyfriend" was in fact her father. It was at a dance in Odessa where Vina first met Frank Runge. Vina and Frank were married on February 1, 1928. The Runges first resided on a farm in the Odessa area, before moving to a farm near Avonhurst. The move to Avonhurst not only meant moving furniture, but alsothree "valuable possessions" acquired during the first years of marriage; namely, Irene, Kenneth and Donald. It was in 1944 that the Runge family purchased a half section of land south of McLean. As there was only 30 acres cultivated, much time was spent clearing land. A garage, machine shop, chicken coop, and milk house were soon erected, as the Runge family, like so many of their neighbours, became involved in dairy farming. Each morning at 8:00 am the Runges carted full milk cans into the Village of McLean to await the train which would carry the milk on to Regina. During Vina' s years in the McLean community, she became very active in church activities, and was one of the original members of the McLean Women's Club. In 1951, Vina and Frank made another move; this time to Regina. In addition to packing clothes and personal possessions, there was one additional "bundle" that was included in the move to the new house in Regina- a three year old "bundle of energy" name Wilfred. With the passing of her beloved husband in 1964, Vina continued to reside in Regina. Throughout the years that Vina lived in "the city", her love of "the country" could be seen in the flourishing houseplants and productive garden she took such pride in. Sweet-smelling Sweet Peas bordering the sidewalk and a, bouquet of Gladioli ,on the kitchen table come to 1984 mind. Vina made one final move this time to the Pioneer Village Nursing Home. Throughout Vina's life, her family meant most to her; always taking a keen interest in the lives and activities of her children, grandchildren, sisters and brother. Her courageous strength in battles with heart disorders, diabetes and cancer is an inspiration to all who knew her. There are many loves I shared with those of Mrs. Vina May Runge: The first crocuses of spring, the golden poplar leaves of autumn, twirling around a dance floor a basket full of kittens, and country living. Perhaps I've inherited these traits - Vina was my grandmother. Vina May Runge was predeceased by her husband, Frank; granddaughter, Beverly Grad; and brother Wilfred Betteridge. She is survived by one daughter, Irene(Tony) of McLean; three sons, Ken (Jeanette) of Saskatoon, Don (Arlene) of Edmonton, Alberta; Wilf (Shirley) of Regina; seven grandchildren, Sharon (Jim) Swift, Maxine (Brian) Hanofski, Trenten (Loralee) Runge, Trevor Runge, Bradley Runge, Kris and Sherry Runge; three great-grandchildren; four sisters, Elleen Smith of Edmonton, Alberta; Gertrude Whitehead of Toronto, Ontario; Vallma Dryburgh of Regina, Myrtle Idler of St. John's, Newfoundland; and one brother, Ernest Betteridge of Edmonton, Alberta.
