Tom enjoyed hunting, fishing, curling, woodworking, baseball when he was younger and enjoyed being with his grandchildren whenever he could. But anyone who knew Tom, knows that his great passion was farming. He was able to farm until he was diagnosed with cancer in February 1999. He loved company and no one left his home without feeling welcome and full of whatever cooking and baking Joan always had on hand. Tom was a very caring father and would have done anything for his children. He was a good neighbour, always lending a hand with whatever was needed of him.

Art was born March 7, 1923 to parents Knut and Ella, nee Wangen, at the old log house on the homestead at Kuroki, SK in the Margo district where they had settled from South Dakota. He was baptized at Moe Concordia Lutheran Church there. All together Art had nine brothers and three sisters, with Eddy remaining on the family farm. Art completed Grade 8 at the country school, and then worked for SaskPower. He was close friends with the Overlands, and married Grace in 1957 after she had been suddenly widowed and her two young children left fatherless. Don and Colleen received Art as father in every way, and soon another sister, Maureen was born, completing the family. Art and Grace farmed for a few years at Lintlaw, moving into town to operate the restaurant there as well. Art also drove a school bus route and sublet another. In 1968 the family moved to Weyburn where Art worked with Cockshutt Implements and then Canada Wire and Cable until retirement. In preparing for retirement, Art and Grace had moved out to Yellow Grass. Now from their retirement home they produced crafts for all the flea markets and craft shows around: garden markets, bird houses, whirlygigs, farmers fannys, tulips and more - with Art doing the woodwork and Grace the painting. Art was a real people person and loved the visiting at all the sales. They travelled, not only for fishing trips up to Fishing Lake, and to visit relatives in BC, Idaho, and Ontario, as they had done with the children, but also to see Las Vegas, Texas and Mexico. They loved to go out dancing or to coffee with neighbors. About three years ago, Art was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. With surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Art's condition stabilized and he enjoyed a year of reasonable health. During this time, Art and Grace reached their 40th wedding anniversary and celebrated with the reaffirmation of marriage vows and a big gathering of family and friends. When the cancer invaded Art's liver they moved back into Weyburn to be closer to hospital services. But even though Art was very sick, they had the whole family into their new place for Christmas. He stayed home as long as possible, passing away after only 2-1/2 weeks in hospital. Art loved having his family around him, visiting with his friends, learning from people. He was a patient and gentle man with a good sense of humour, who rarely lost his temper and loved to tell a story or play a practical joke. Art was always appreciated for his calm, relaxed ways and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him. Funeral service was held Saturday, March 6, at 11:00 a.m. from Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn with Pastor Ron Bestvater officiating. Interment followed in Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were Terry Braaten, Ron Kuiper, Stanley Braaten, Jerald Schmidt, Don Gallinger and Steve Sayeau.

Ruth Evelyn Hunstad

On Monday, March 8, 1999, Ruth Evelyn Hunstad, late of Weyburn, passed away at the age of 83 years. Predeceased by her parents, Bill and Augusta Waddle; two brothers: Ralph and Jimmy Waddle; one sister Lena Whitteron; adopted parents, Mary and Elling Ellingson; adopted brothers: Joseph and Edwin Ellingson; and two grandsons: Bradley Herlick and Allan Thompson. Ruth leaves to mourn her husband of 62 years, Leroy Hunstad of Weyburn; her children: Lionel (Karen) Hunstad of Lake Alma, and their children: Curtis (Cathy) Hunstad, Wendy (Lorne) Ereth, Lynn (Brennan) Zackrisson, Coreen (Jason) Uytterhagen and 11 great grandchildren; Jean (Al) Thompson of Weyburn, and their children: Marty (Bernice) Thompson, Marlin (Jeannette) Thompson, Kenny (Karen) Thompson, Cary Thompson and five great grandchildren; Betty Ann (Joe) Herlick of Tribune, and their children: Ron (Deb) Herlick, Lorrie (Doug) Ashworth, Donna (Bill) Axten, Don (Donalda) Herlick, Dianne Herlick, Darcy Herlick and 13 great grandchildren; one brother, Roy (Annie) Ellingson of Estevan; one sister, Alma Lindgen of Estevan; two half sisters: Bernice and Florence; one half brother, Allan Waddle; as well as many nieces and nephews. Ruth was born August 26, 1915 northeast of Tribune on the family farm. Her mother died in 1918 giving birth to twins. She then went to Kramer, North Dakota to live with her uncle and aunt. After a short while she came back to Saskatchewan and was adopted by Mary and Elling Ellingson at an early age. Her adopted family consisted of two brothers, Joseph and Edwin. She took her schooling at Temple school, walking to and from school most of the time but occasionally she would catch a ride with the Douds on their buggy. At home she was a real chore girl, hauling grain and hay, milking cows and caring for other livestock. She went to work for Harry and Alma Hunstad where she met Leroy. They were married on November 13, 1936 and together they worked for several different farmers. In 1937 they moved to the Carlson farm where they lived and worked very hard for years. Never did you see one without the other. Ruth always had a fresh baked cake for all birthdays and was always ready to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Her winters were spent quilting, making several from her own design. Company was always frequent at the farm and they never left unfed. A meal was hussled up in no time and there was always enough for extras. The coffee pot was always on and everyone knew it. Ladies Aid was always special and the Emmanuel church yard was high on her volunteer list, so it was always kept trim. Ruth loved gardening and any outdoor work, but once the grandchildren came along, they became a priority. She kept track of anything that went on in the community, like weddings, funerals, birthdays and anniversaries. Her health started failing and this required a move to town. In October 1996, Ruth was moved to Souris Valley Extended Care Centre where she was content and comfortable. Funeral service was held Friday, March 12 at 2:00 p.m. from Lake Alma Lutheran Church, with Pastor Martin Olson officiating. Interment followed in Emmanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Maxim, SK. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were her eight grandsons: Curtis Hunstad, Marty Thompson, Marlin Thompson, Kenny Thompson, Cary Thompson, Ron Herlick, Don Herlick and Darcy Herlick. Those wishing to express their sympathy may donate to the Lake Alma Lutheran Church. Arrangements were in care of Hastings-Dionne Funeral Home Inc., Weyburn.
