Vincent (Vince) Urbanoski
March 2, 1940 - July 31, 2001

Funeral arrangements by Regina Funeral Home

URBANOSKI, VINCENT (VINCE) – Died on July 31, 2001 at the age of 61 years. Vince will be fondly remembered by his family, loving wife Yvette Leveille, his children, Gregory of Regina and Karen of Vancouver; Yvette’s children, Guy of Winnipeg, Grant (Candace) and their children Carson and Tanner of Saskatoon, Allan (Donna) of Calgary; sister-in-law, Florence Lutes of Regina; brothers-in-law George (Lois) Desautels of Regina, Armand (Gerry) Desautels of Wolseley, Claude (Rose) Desautels of Calgary; nieces Sherrie and Debbie of Saskatoon, Brenda of Edmonton and nephew David of Kelowna. Vince was predeceased by his brother Edward in 1973; his mother Catherine in 1985 and father Wladyslaw in 1987. Vince was born at Jedburgh, Saskatchewan on March 2, 1940.

He spent four years in the Canadian Armed Forces after which he completed his post secondary education and obtained his Certified Management Accountant designation. His career was in the health-care sector in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the North West Territories. It culminated in his retiring from the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations on March 31, 2000. Vince enjoyed working with young people and took delight when they succeeded. At this stage of his life he was looking forward to another season of golfing and the renewal of old acquaintances and new friends as well as the planned trips with Yvette to parts of the world that they had not been to.

A Celebration of Vince’s Life will be held at the Regina Funeral Home, Hwy. #1 East, on Friday, August 3, 2001 at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit of the Pasqua Hospital, 4101 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, SK, S4T 1A5.

Sandra Schmirler
June 11, 1963 - March 2, 2000

Funeral arrangements by Regina Funeral Home

Passed away peacefully at 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 2, 2000. She spent her last minutes with her husband, Shannon England; in the comforts of the Palliative Care Unit of the Pasqua Hospital. For this we would like to thank the staff for their kind touch and soft words. They were greatly appreciated by both Sandra and her family.

Early in life it was clear that Sandra was a high achiever. She excelled in all levels of education and all athletics, including Provincial speed swimming, high school volleyball and badminton. But eventually, it became clear that Sandra was destined for curling greatness. It would be in this arena that Sandra would come together with her three kindred spirits: Jan, Joan and Marcia. Together this foursome would conquer the world. As we all know, at the end of the run, this group of friends compiled six Provincial titles, three National titles, three World titles, and of course the first ever Olympic Gold medal.

After high school life and the University experience, in which she earned a Bachelor Degree in Physical Education, Sandra moved to the Queen City. Since the day she moved to Regina, she has shown her loyalty to the city by not only becoming an ambassador, but also an employee. For the last 16 years Sandra has been an employee of the City of Regina at the South East Leisure Center.

After she moved to Regina, Sandra's life, both in and out of the curling rink, became intensely public. All of Canada, and especially the people of Saskatchewan, were bestowed with the great sense of familiarity when it came to the name Schmirler, and perhaps it was justified. Because of Sandra's genuine character, it became easy to feel that we all really "knew her". But for those of us that were blessed enough to have spent a large portion of our life with this wonderful woman, we realize that with all her extensive awards and amazing accomplishments, she was barely starting the infant stage of what truly mattered to her.

Sandra certainly felt that her life and her life dreams only began a very short while ago. Seven years ago, while the Blue Jays were winning their first world series, Sandra was being introduced to the man who would turn out to be her true soul mate. After Sandra married Shannon, and Sara was brought into the world, Sandra became aware of what life really meant to her. The eventual addition of Jenna only solidified her early belief. It is because of this, that we the family, believe that Sandra's early departure from this earth is something of a bewilderment and is not easily understood. But we also believe that all things happen in God's own time and if this is his will, then God's will be done.

Sandra is survived by her loving husband Shannon England, daughters Sara, 2 1/2 years, and Jenna, 8 months. Her mother Shirley Schmirler. Her sisters and their families; Carol Kostrosky, with husband Michael and children Chelsey, Kyle, and Katelyn; and Beverley Hanowski, with husband David, and with children Daniel and Kristine. Also father-in-law Les England and wife Judy, brother-in-law Curt England and wife Sandra. Sandra also has many special aunts, uncles and cousins that will be truly lost without her. Earlier last year Sandra was predeceased by her father Art Schmirler.

The Anglican Memorial Service for family and friends was conducted by The Rev. Don Wells at the Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 East, on Monday, March 6, 2000 at 1:00 p.m. Private family interment took place. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Terry Fox Foundation, Suite #210 - 1102 - 8th Ave. Regina, SK, S4R 1C9; the Neo-Natal Unit, c/o Regina General Hospital, 1440 - 14th Ave., Regina, SK, S4P 0W5 or a charity of your choice.

Andy has left us to be with his predeceased grandparents Henry Kefford and Harry and Thelma Francis, who we know will take care of him until we can join them.

He also leaves behind his grandmother Mary Kefford; very special godfather and uncle George Kefford; Aunts: Shanon Kefford, Darlene Paulhus, Char Francis; and Uncle Bob and Aunt Bert Francis; plus numerous cousins.

He was a very dedicated friend to many and we know they will miss his hearty laughter and never ending stories.

Andy was born in Moose Jaw, SK, and spent his first nine years in Elbow, SK, moving to Regina, SK, in 1985, where he spent the rest of his short life. He convocated from the U of R in October, 2000, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science, an accomplishment we were all so proud of. Being in the Co-op program enabled him to work at Farm Credit Corp, Sask Tel, CUETS, and his final co-op term was completed in Minneapolis, Minn. He truly enjoyed his time in Minneapolis. He was presently employed at the Sask Tel Sympatico Help Desk.

Andy's other interests included hockey, roller blade hockey, down hill skiing, riding his motorcycle and spending time with his friends.

He successfully beat leukemia eight years ago, only to have cancer return in July, 2000. He then chose to move to Winnipeg and undergo a non-related bone marrow transplant. Even though he knew it would be very difficult, he was still determined to beat his disease. If only Andy's body had been as strong as his spirit, he would have achieved his goal. God bless you Andy and keep you safe until we meet again.

MEMORIAL SERVICE for Andy will be held at Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 East, on Thursday, February 22, 2001, at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Alex Taylor officiating.
