DEMPSEY - Eileen Evelyn Dempsey (March 20, 1929 - March 10, 2010). It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving wife, mother and grandmother who passed away peacefully on March 10th in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital just short of her 81st birthday. She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Fred, children Dan (Ruth) of Victoria, Deb (Arch) of Winnipeg, Bob (Michelle) of Barrie, Rick of Edmonton, Rachael (Craig) of Coldstream and daughter-in-law Wendy of Edmonton along with brothers Dale (Joan) of Winnipeg and Ray (Judy) of Belleville. She is also lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Stephanie, Jason, Jamie, Jennifer, Raylene, Erin and James along with a host of nieces and nephews. Eileen was predeceased by her father and mother, Earl and Evelyn, brother Don and son Daryl. Born in Milestone, Sask. to humble prairie roots, Eileen was the first of four children born to Earl and Evelyn McClelland. As a young teenager she moved with her family to Regina in 1942 where they resided on Elphinstone and Retallack Streets prior to moving into 744 Rae Street, an address that in later years became synonymous with Granny and Grandpa when Eileen had her own children. Visits with aunts, uncles and cousins in Regina were also highly adventurous affairs. Eileen met the love of her life, Fred, in Calgary early in 1951. She married the young RCAF airman the following August and six happy children ensued in the years to come as the family moved from Hamilton to Ottawa, Calgary and finally Edmonton in 1964 where they spent the better part of four decades. These too were wonderful years as the family dug deep roots in Edmonton, Eileen having worked at Sears for over 15 years. The long road trips by car of the 1950s and 60s to visit family soon gave way to air travel as Fred and Eileen flew far and wide across Canada and abroad to visit their children, including to Germany and Hong Kong. Their retirement home eventually became Vernon, a community they enjoyed very much. Mom always loved her little garden and flowers but for her the most important thing in life was her children and grandchildren, whom she cherished.

After completing her education, Kay worked in both Raymore and Wishart as a storekeeper, while always dreaming of attending nursing school. In 1952 she met and married Bill Forsberg, a widowed man of strong, yet loving character who had emigrated from Sweden to farm at Riceton many years earlier. Kay always felt close to Bill's children and never used the word 'step' in describing their relationship. They retired from farming and moved into the town of Riceton, in 1960. Following Bill's sudden death in 1963 Kay continued living in Riceton to raise their young son Bill Jr., but after his high school graduation she moved on to become a full time church housekeeper in Milestone. She grew to love Rev. Ewing Rae's family that she worked for, raising the two children as her own and seeing them grow up to become two beautiful young adults. Kay then moved to Weyburn to be employed with the Souris Valley Hospital until her retirement in 1982. She enjoyed her retirement life, writing poetry, taking trips to local and national historic places, playing bingo and being amongst her friends. Always being community minded and a lover of people allowed Kay to enjoy her church activities in the Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Riceton and the Zion Lutheran Church in Weyburn. These were important involvements to her. She was awarded in 1987 with a 2,000 hour volunteer pin for her work with the handicapped. Kay was president of the Weyburn Writers Guild and had many of her poems and writings published. Some of her other interests were collecting antiques, and assembling a unique prize-winning stamp and coin collection. She also ensured that stray animals in the community were housed and properly taken care of by working with the Weyburn Humane Society. In 2002 she was stricken with Parkinson's and later Alzheimer's which forced her to give up her independence and move into the Weyburn Special Care Home. Kay's funeral service was held at Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn, on Saturday, October 20, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Martin Olson officiating. Visitation for family and friends was held on Friday, October 19, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at RD Family Funeral Chapel, Weyburn. Interment followed in the family section at Riceton Cemetery. The active pallbearers were, Sidney Brown, Bill Ferguson, Basil Forsberg, Terry Edwards, Sharon Lutz and Terry Creurer. Kay was a gardener and lover of flowers

At age 57, he lived a lifelong dream and became a pilot, spending many hours flying his own plane. Laverne and Illa retired to Kelowna, where they spent 15 happy years. After Illa's death in September 2005, Laverne moved to Regina in March 2006. He spent many hours over coffee with the Southland Senators at Southland Mall, solving the world's problems before the real senators were even out of bed. Over the past few years, Laverne's life was changed by the effects of dementia. It robbed him of his memory, but it also opened a new and softer side. He saw goodness in the simplest things: the wide-open skies, the prairie sunset, a child at play, dogs walking the paths of Wascana Park. Somehow life became very simple ? he saw only the beauty. Our family is so grateful for the care and attention Dad received in his last years, at Marion Chateau and at Brightwater of Riverbend. Dennis and Leah have been there through the good and the difficult, and as their family we are so thankful.

He loved being with the grandchildren to pick on them. Everyone who knew him knew that he meant no harm; he enjoyed to laugh and joke around. Rodney, in the last four years took up gardening as a hobby, he would tinker in his greenhouse and enjoyed it so much he had two gardens to look after. In 2004, when getting a physical for his 1A licence the devastating news of lung cancer was brought forth. In June of 2004 his career ended with Achen Construction. In November, 2004 his left lung was removed, following that were 50 some radiation and three chemo treatments. In 2007 doctors completed a wedge re-section (biopsy) on the right lung. During these four years at home he decided to take up gardening, willing to help out family and to just be there. Rodney would just go and go, never slowed down and would never admit he was in pain or how he was really feeling; he cared to much for all of us to let us know. On his 58th birthday he gained a special friend named Tippy. When he took his daily drives his dog never left his side. Rodney was getting tired of fighting. He was admitted to the palliative care program in 2008 and on May 8 he was admitted into Weyburn General Hospital for pneumonia for ten days, and discharged; being admitted again May 22 with pneumonia.

Upon graduating from high school, she worked as a housekeeper and nanny for Frank Sattler and his family. On June 22, 1937, she married Lennie and moved to his farm northeast of Milestone. As a farm wife, she worked in the fields, maintained gardens, curled in winter and entertained friends and family in the grand Lekivetz farmhouse. She excelled at baking and began entering breads and cakes in the Provincial Exhibition in Regina where, in 1965, she took first prize for her Jubilee cake. In 1954, Lennie and Dollie sold the farm and moved into their home in Regina where they lived for the next fifty years. In winter, they traveled throughout the United States, spending time in California where Dollie took classes in cooking and many interesting crafts. When they discovered Hawaii, they wintered there for many years and developed lifelong friendships with many people there. At the young age of 65, Dollie took up the game of lawn bowling. She became an excellent lawn bowler and represented Saskatchewan in many national tournaments, coached new bowlers and in later years traveled to tournaments around the world. For family members and friends alike, Dollie has been a gift. Always generous, thoughtful and kind, she took an interest in people and the detail of their lives. She has shared the memories of her life, with humour and grace. Thank you to Heather Stumph and Suzanne Bennett for granting her last wish to die peacefully at home.

As he grew up he was very agile on the piano and started his own band, which played at many dances in the Milestone and District area. Playing ball and curling were also a great joy in his life. Both he and Dollie were graced with many friends, both at home and in Florida, San Diego and Hawaii. Hawaii became the joy of their life and they travelled there in the winters as long as they were able. Lennie was involved in the Cherry Blossom Festival and sponsored many girls in the Cherry Blossom pageant many of whom still corresponded with him until his passing. In the last few years, Lennie enjoyed his trips to Milestone to pick up the mail and have coffee with his friends. Thank you to all the friends and family who came to visit him in the hospital.

Frances' greatest joy in life was doing something for other people, whether it was making a gift or playing a joke at their expense. No matter when someone dropped in, the coffee pot was always on and an extra place was set at the table. Job-sharing was not a new concept to Frances and Willis, as together they successfully operated their family farm for 58 years of marriage. Frances loved to lend a helping hand and share her talents whenever they were need in her community; decorating for 4-H, creating figure skating costumes, baking and decorating special cakes, leading Explorers, writing skits and poems for special occasions, to name a few. Because Frances grew up in adverse times, she was unable to complete her dream of becoming a registered nurse. Consequently she placed strong value on her family's pursuit of post secondary education. However, what she lacked in formal training she more than made up in caring for and nurturing all around her. Frances' grandchildren and great grandchildren were the light of her life. Many wonderful memories were created over the years. We have been blessed indeed. Funeral service was held Friday, December 24 in Milestone United Church, with Rev. Mary Elford officiating. Interment followed in Milestone Cemetery. Her three grandsons and her three grandsons-in-law served as pallbearers.

RENWICK - Randy passed away with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his parents, George and Dorothy; his brother, Bill and nephew, Dean. He is survived by three children, Val (Kevin) Stock and their children, Jaydon and Geordon; Bonnie (Brian) Honig and their children, Bethany, Dylan and Brittney; and Brian Renwick; three brothers, Glenn (Cheryl), Clayton and Rex (Penny); as well as numerous nieces. Dad was raised on a farm in small town Milestone. He is the third of five boys. Dad was taught at a very young age the value of a dollar and the satisfaction of a hard day?s work. He helped his Dad with the family farm where he learned many skills. Dad served time with the armed forces in Borden, ON. and Corn Wallis, Nova Scotia. He returned home to Milestone where he married JoAnne. Together they farmed and had three children. There wasn?t a thing that he couldn?t make for you. When he was ten years old one of his first projects he made was a land leveller. He always said that a little bit of hard work never hurt anybody. Dad especially loved hunting at Husdon Bay. Every winter he and a couple of his friends would go on the ultimate trek up north for a moose. It was quite an exciting time for us all. I can still feel the anticipation and excitement of Dad going to get a moose! It was difficult and had its own challenges getting around on back trails through the bush. Dad brought home this little orange truck and said he was going to make it into a bombardier to make hunting easier. He worked at it for a couple of years and sure enough he built his version of a bombardier. Dad used it for hunting, we used it for fun! We spent countless hours in that thing. Dad always made sure that everything he made had his signature trademark on it, he either engraved, burnt with the tiger torch, welded or marked it with his name in white paint marker. Dad had a reputation for being one of the best welders in the area. He started welding commercially with Bert?s welding in Weyburn in 1989. He bought the business in 1990 and changed the name to Precision Welding which he proudly still displayed and referred to himself as the owner of. He made many lifelong friends while welding. He truly loved the oilfield and the challenges. Dad proved himself time and again of his talents with metal. Of all the friends he made over the years, the bond that was most special to him was the bond he had with 10?er. He taught him how to weld at 7 years old. He really loved teaching him all his secrets and shared his evolving wealth of knowledge with him. When it came to Dad we always knew what to expect. One thing you could count on him for was the score if his beloved Edmonton Oilers were playing hockey. He even took it upon himself to make many of his friends a Stanley Cup, each one with slight improvements over the last one. Dad faithfully watched the craziest shows on TV. He loved music. The louder the better. Music he said always made him feel good. I find it amusing that he liked such a variety from bluegrass to techno and would occasionally try to dance with his two left feet. Dad held many jobs in and around Edmonton and Spruce Grove. He really was a Jack-of-all-trades. He did some welding, short haul trucking, long haul trucking, roofing, and anything else that was asked of him by his employers. He was very dedicated and he always gave them 110%. In return all he asked for was their friendship. He loved finding out how things worked and then finding ways to make them work better. As a matter of fact, often times people would ask Dad for his opinion on something knowing that he would have the answers and guaranteed Dad would help them out ? except on Sunday which was family day. He always took Sunday off. One of my favorite things he did was make people laugh. He loved telling jokes! He could tell the same joke ten times and each time it would get better. Dad was a smart man. He always was wise well beyond his years. He loved reading anything he could get his hands on. Another one of his favorite pastimes was playing chess. He was so good at it too! Anyone who knew Dad would say that he taught us a lot of things by the way he lived his life. It was simple and he was happy. He had only what he needed. Nothing more, nothing less. His home was his castle. He had many good friends, a lot of good laughs. He loved his family unconditionally. He wanted nothing more than to see his kids smile and be happy. He would want each of us to live life to the fullest, leave nothing undiscovered, and have fun so when we leave this world we too can shout "What a ride". Stand up and be strong! Cremation has taken place. Interment at a later date in Weyburn.

SOBCHUCK - Harry Sobchuk was born August 7, 1923, on the family farm in Lang. He attended Baldock School until it was closed, then went to Lang school. Harry's first love was sports! He played hockey with his school buddies on Baldock's "Long Pond" eventually playing out of Lang. Baseball was the all time favorite, having played in Lang for 20 years. Living the farm life put him to work with his father and brothers; working for neighborhood farmers as well: Barmbys, Schmidts, Stephen-sons and Winklers, to name a few. Farm life turned to adventure in 1943; Harry enlisted in the RCAF. In 1944 he went overseas to France with 143 Typhoon Squadron in Normandy, and England. Following the war Harry returned to farming in Lang. His parents retired to Regina in 1947, taking Mary with them, so Steve and Harry became bachelors! Harry worked on the farm as well as doing some carpentry work in Regina and electrical work with Tom Howlett. About now sports had to take second billing as Harry met and married Anne (Hutt) on October 8, 1949. She was number one! They lived on the farm for eight years, in their own "little house" where Gene and Dennis were born. In 1957 a new home in Lang was built for his family. From here the farming continued as well as school bus driving. Harry became involved with the community; being on village council, president of the Community Club and had a voice in the curling club and community center. All the while, staying in shape, so to speak: playing baseball, hockey and curling. He and his team mates of Chet Talbot, Herb and Art Missal curled in three Legion district finals. He also coached minor ball and hockey. With Anne's blessings, Harry's sport interest passed onto Gene and Dennis. Harry was instrumental in their sportsman habits, leading them both to a professional career of hockey. This was the 'big picture' for Harry and he was very proud of their sons! Harry and Anne traveled a lot the world over to visit and watch their boys. Through it all, whether traveling with Anne or alone, his favorite time was 'coming home'. Harry's passion for sports took him to a few World Series, Grey Cups, Stanley Cups, whether to observe or party! When Gene married Patti Monteith and Dennis married Julia Huffman, Harry and Anne acquired two daughters. For this they were very happy but the 'huge' grins came upon the arrival of their grandchildren; Justin, Ashley, and the twins, Brendon and Brittany. The fact that Justin plays ball and was drafted by the Oakland A's, and Brendon plays hockey is a huge bonus. Ashley's forte was figure skating. This year Brittany began hockey and I know he wondered where that would lead! As Anne's mobility failed, Harry was not only her husband but her primary care giver, her soul mate and of course her crib partner! They played in many Legion tournaments around the province. Two weeks ago on Remembrance Day, Harry was able to attend the service in Milestone to receive his 50 year Legion Pin. Since Harry's surgery 11 months ago he had been a pillar of determination! He took his cancer treatments and traveled in between! They traveled to P.E.I., Phoenix, Bellingham a couple of times; always having a mission or a goal.

Dad was born, June 25th, 1917, on the homestead near Worcester, SK (20 miles N of Weyburn). He grew up when farming was changing from horses to tractors. He showed interest in mechanics from an early age. He told stories of taking the engine out of the 1927 Pontiac and bringing it into the kitchen for the winter in order to overhaul it. He took his schooling locally except for a winter spent at Abernathy where he worked for his lodging while attending school. He enlisted in the army on August 29th, 1943 (Mom's birthday). He trained to be a mechanic and later was stationed in Nova Scotia. While waiting to go overseas, he was told he didn't qualify because of his flat feet. Later he said this probably saved his life. He married Sylvia Watts on Christmas Day 1942 while home on leave. After the war, he worked at Tourigny Brothers in Weyburn. His first job was converting steel-wheeled model D tractors to rubber tires. This was the beginning of a lifetime love of John Deere. In 1951, he moved to Milestone to start his own John Deere business. Later, Stan Glenn became his partner forming G & S Farm Services. When Stan passed away the business was dissolved. Dad went to work with John Deere in Regina, Weyburn and for many years at Nelson Motors in Avonlea. He retired at the age of 69 and became a fulltime farmer along with his five sons. This allowed him to spend time with his boys and grandchildren doing something they all loved. He also found an interest in drama. He and Sylvia spent many hours with Milestone Prairie Players. He was proud of his trophies and valued the friends he made. In 2004, Dad and Mom moved to Saskatoon along with their pet cat Toby where he loved to look out the window over the pond. He always looked forward to a drive to check out the crops and the countryside. He enjoyed reading, playing cards, and visiting with family and friends. A laugh was never far away. Dad will be loved and missed by all. The Memorial Service will be held on Friday, March 25th at 1:00 p.m. at Milestone United Church, Milestone, SK.
