Mary Dumelie It is with fond memories and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mary (Klein) Dumelie who was born Aug. 25, 1912 and departed this life on Feb. 5, 2010. She was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Gilbert, son and daughter-in-law, Raymond and Carol, grandchildren, Keegan Crompton and Kella Mastad . She is survived by her children, Gil (Terrie), Larry (Karen), Roger (Cathy), Eileen (Eugene), Louise, Carol (Les), Ann (Calvin), Florence (Gilbert), Leona (Lorne), 47 grandchildren and 55 great grandchildren. In her 97 years, mom accomplished a wide variety of skills, interests and hobbies. She touched many lives with her no-nonsense and practical approach to life. She was a woman who had many talents and a great zest for life. Her artistic talent led her to creating totem poles, oil paintings, soap stone carvings, toys and a wide variety of other forms of art. Mom loved music and she performed for the public until she was 90 years old. In her youth, she played with other musicians at school and community dances in the Flintoft, Fir Mountain and Lafleche communities. She played the organ for church services in Glentworth for a number of years. In her later years, she played with a group of friends to entertain at the Lafleche Club 50. Mom loved nature. Her garden often led visitors to stop and admire her creations whether it was her carvings, fish pond, collections of fossils and petrified wood, or her prairie and tame flowers and plant varieties. Mom had a competitive nature and loved to play sports, cards and the Nintendo Wii. She curled and bowled with her husband and friends, played on a family ball team with her daughters and nieces, loved to play bridge and cribbage as well as a variety of other card games. Dad and she would play cards almost nightly after their retirement from the farm near Fir Mountain to the town of Lafleche. Dad and mom traveled to various places in Canada and United States. They also had taken trips to Europe. They enjoyed many camping and fishing trips to Northern Saskatchewan. Mom loved to travel and her final journey will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 2:00 pm in Lafleche's St. Radegonde Church when we celebrate a life well lived. Mom and Dad had many lifelong friends from the communities in which they lived. The family truly appreciated all their parent's friends and the assistance they gave them especially in their golden years. These strong ties continued after Dad passed away and their friends were faithful in assisting mom. Mary's family would also like to acknowledge the excellent care and love that she received from the staff and residents of Albert William House in Emerald Park. It was so comforting to know that she was so compassionately looked after in her final years. 1445709

She was pre-deceased by her loving husband and life companion Cyril Plaster, on Jan 16, 2007 after 66 years of wonderful marriage, and pre-deceased by her father Thomas, in 1923 and mother Margaret, in 1934, and her siblings Wellington Sadler, Susannah Meyers, Violet Green, Muriel Sadler, Bert Sadler, Lawrence Sadler and their spouses. Lillian was born Sept. 11, 1919 at Drake SK., to parents Thomas and Margaret Sadler. She attended elementary and high school in Drake, SK. Following her marriage to Cyril on June 14, 1941, they farmed in the Drake area and were very active in the social and recreational life of the Drake and Lockwood communities. She was an active participant on the farm, being an expert grain truck driver during harvest and keeping track of the grain markets. Upon retiring from the farm, they relocated to Saskatoon in 1979, where they lived in the Wildwood neighbourhood. Lillian was always very involved in her community, volunteering with the Drake United Church UCW, was a Secretary to the Kneller School District, and participated in many McClure United Church volunteer opportunities. She was an accomplished curler, golfer, bowler, and loved dancing away the evenings on Friday nights with Cyril. It was also well known that her knowledge of the rules of hockey, baseball and football surpassed most avid spectators. Her garden was always full of fresh flowers and produce. She was a superb cook and her famous butter tarts, cinnamon buns and apple pies were treasures quickly devoured. She was a caring and supportive mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was most often described as being both sweet and feisty, having both a wonderful sense of humour and a keen Irish wit. She led by her example of doing for and with others, rather than directing. She brought warmth and caring to family, friends and strangers alike. A special thank you goes out to the staff at Quality Care Homes for their exceptional care during Lillian's time living there. A Memorial Service and reception in celebration of Lillian's life will be led by Rev. Laura Fouse on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 1:30pm, at McClure United Church in Saskatoon.

They raised 9 children on the farmstead. Dad and Mom grain farmed extensively and became involved with Charolais cattle in the early 60's, this led to travelling in North America and Europe. Manford had served as a director of the Saskatchewan Charolais Association and in his children's younger years he was involved in 4-H. Dad had many hobbies and interests. He enjoyed snowmobiling, which included a trip from Estevan to the Trappers Festival in The Pas, MB; the I-250 Race from Regina to Minot for a few years and various trips to the states. For a number of years Dad raised Fjord horses. Dad and Mom rode Gold Wings for 20 plus years. He loved to ride. Mom and Dad's special biking trips involved travelling across 10 provinces and 50 U.S. states (including Alaska). On Dad's 84th birthday he bought what would be his final bike, a 2009 Piaggio, he loved that bike, he even went as far as getting a special 24 hour permit so he could go for a ride in November of 2009. All of these interests brought long lasting friendships which were very important to Dad. When Mom passed away in 2002 Dad experienced a very lonely and sad period of his life. Companionship was to be his once again when in 2004 he married Mary Martin. Dad was always so proud to say I have 7 sons and 2 daughters and Mary has 7 daughters and 2 sons. Dad and Mary could be seen riding their motorized pedal bikes all around Estevan. They enjoyed travelling and visiting family and friends. Dad was always on the look out for those special vintage cars, including his 59 Oldsmobile which was identical to his fathers. This past Christmas Dad and Mary were able to enjoy a trip to Mexico with a majority of his family...this will forever leave wonderful memories. Manford's faith was important, he was thankful for all the blessings throughout his life. Prayers will be held on Monday, February 8th at 7:00 pm in the chapel of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St John the Baptist Church in Estevan on Tuesday, February 9th at 2:00 pm.
