Irma Grace Start

Irma Grace (O'Neal) Start, age 94 years of Bengough and longtime resident of Harptree, Saskatchewan peacefully departed this life May 21, 2006, on her homeward journey to her eternal home in the celestial realms above. Irma was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Wilfred Start (1991), her grandson Neil Hart (1979), her parents Ross (1959) and Edna (Patterson) O'Neal (1979), her sisters Jessie Jacobs, Beulah Start, Norma Start, her brother James O'Neal and brothers-in-law Charles Start and Herbert Start. Irma leaves to mourn all those who loved her and all those whose lives she touched, especially her six children, sixteen grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren; Leona (Gordon) Fleming; Valerie (Merv) Ness, Dayna; Laura (Wilf) Olson, Jeremy, Kristopher, Melissa, Nicholas; Duane (Dianne), Bryden; Kenneth (Bunnie); Kevin (Natosha), Jacob, Anthony; Lorne; Starla (Jason) Ember, Zander, Zane; Elaine (Walter) Hart; Leslie (Craig) Dunbar, Jonathan, Melanie; Juanita (Jerry) Traughber, Alex, Sam, Eric; Harold (Evelyn) Start; Brent; Jennifer (Weldon) Wong; Donn (Magdalena Briola) Start, Dolores Fleet; Justin (Leslie); Rebecca; Joyce (Lyle) Jacobson; Robin (Jeff), Connor, Caiden, William; Lorinda (Blair); Ryan (Thuy); honorary grandchildren Tiu, Ty and Tanner Rettman; her youngest sister Blanche Goodchild, sister-in-law Pauline Frost; brother-in-law Gilbert Jacobs; nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Irma Grace O'Neal was born October 21, 1911 to Ross and Edna O'Neal, at the farm home located near Cascade, Nebraska, USA. When Irma was one year old, she moved with her parents to Canada. After a three year journey by team and wagon, the O'Neals arrived at their northern Alberta homestead. Irma was raised in the Peace River area along with her siblings Jessie, Beulah, Norma, James and Blanche. With the surrounding natural beauty of the north, an appreciation of creation was imprinted in Irma for life; this was evident in her works of art and poetry from a child to a senior. Her love of the scriptures, faith in God and his guiding hand was realized at any early age. A gift of a bible to her as a child, was the beginning of her intensive study and memorizing. By the time Irma was fifteen, she had read the New Testament seven times, the entire bible twice. The serene, outdoor, picturesque landscape made memorizing scripture and poetry enjoyable. Amazingly, she was able to retain those memorized verses the rest of her life. Her biblical studies continued on a daily basis at home and weekly at a house of worship. Her dedicated faith and Christian values were shared and demonstrated throughout her life. Growing up in hard times, she learned to make do with what you had, to waste not, improvise, be a fixer of most anything, to re use, recycle and thereby be content. These qualities learned at a young age continued throughout her lifetime. She enjoyed looking for a bargain in used items rather than obtaining anything new. She was seldom idle, never bored, made good use of her time and talents in constructive projects. In the late fall of 1932, the O'Neal family planned to return to the USA to live but due to unforeseen transportation problems had to spend the winter at Harptree, Sask. When spring came, finances low, the family could not continue their journey to the USA; the older girls took housework jobs within the community to assist the situation. Within a few years several of the girls met and married their life partners within the district, the remainder of the O'Neal family continued to make Harptree district home for many years. Irma O'Neal was married to Wilfred Start of Harptree, Saskatchewan April 5, 1934 at St. Chad's Anglican Church in Bengough. They lived on the Start homestead (mixed farm operation), where they raised a family of six children. There were many hard times during the depression years but working together Wilfred and Irma were able to persevere. They operated a successful farming operation until 1973, when they sold the farm and retired to Bengough. All those privileged to share Irma's life will always remember her quiet humble manner, remarkable memory, vast knowledge and understanding of such a variety of topics. She was eager to learn throughout her lifetime and encouraged others to do so. She was an avid listener, gave wise advice, and was patient and gentle with those around her. Irma was a woman of many interests and talents; whatever she did, was done well. Her love and caring for her family and friends was not always shown with outward expression but demonstrated through her hospitality, kindness and generosity to one and all. Visitors of all ages were made to feel welcome and she enjoyed sharing her many ideas and items of interest. She has been an inspiration, encouragement, an excellent example of a Christian wife and mother, sincere friend, demonstrating during her lifetime what the truly important things in life are. A celebration of the life of Irma Start was held from Bengough Community Center on Friday, May 26, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. with Bruce Tetreau, Church of Christ minister, officiating. All those who shared in Irma's life were considered honorary pallbearers. Acting pallbearers were grandsons Ryan Jacobson, Kenneth, Kevin and Lorne Fleming, great-grandson Kristopher Olson and honorary grandson Ty Rettman. Interment followed at Clear View Cemetery (Harptree). Donations in memory of Irma Start can be made to: Key to the Kingdom, (TV Broadcast) 346 Strathmore Blvd., Toronto, ON M4C 1N3 or the charity of your choice. Ross Funeral Service of Assiniboia, Sask. entrusted with arrangements.
