In 1942 their son, Melvin, was born. In 1950 the father and mother Neufeld moved to B.C.. He bought the farm until 1971, then the son, Melvin and his wife, Judy, bought the farm. He then retired to Hodgeville for a few years, until they had to get to a place that had a Doctor, so they moved to the Golden West Manor in Swift Current. In a few years he lost both his legs. He loved the Manor because it had groups come in with programs, also he could go and visit with the men, and there was always something going on. Henry was a loving person to his wife, Clara, his son, Melvin and his wife, Judy, his eight grandchildren: Bradley, Nola, Glenda, Corinne, Ryan, Nolan, Lee and Megan, and his five great-grandchildren: Myra, Courtney, Heather, Read and Jaylen, and they will all miss him.

POLSFUT - Mr. Raymond Richard, aged 75 years, passed away on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 at the Palliser Regional Care Centre. Ray was born in Vanguard, Saskatchewan on July 1, 1929. He attended Moundville country school to Grade eight. He married Mary Braun in 1951. They lived in Vanguard and he worked for the CPR. In 1954, they moved to Swift Current, where, he was employed by the City of Swift Current, as an Equipment Operator. In 1969, Ray and Mary bought a farm at Cando, Saskatchewan, which they farmed for several years. He continued his Forman job with the city during this time, until his retirement in 1989, after 35 years of service. Ray was a dedicated husband, and father to his two boys, and their families. He was always ready to lend a hand, and help fix a car, or help with some carpentry work. He enjoyed camping his whole life. He and Mary took their little boys tenting all the way to BC. Later in life, they bought a truck camper and camped at various places with friends and relatives. He loved his grandchildren, and enjoyed cooking for them – always making their favorites, whatever the time of day or night. Especially pancakes – flipping them up to the roof, much to the delight of the kids – but never dropping them. Ray spent many hours tending to his garden, and trying to keep the birds from eating the apples on his tree. He loved apple pie – especially the ones made from his tree. His garden was always well looked after, and he was proud to share the bounty with his family. Music was an important part of Ray’s life. He taught himself to play the guitar, and could play his 12 string in ways that would amaze people. He loved to play music with his brothers – Harv on violin, Emil on accordion, and cousin, John Krause, on accordion. They entertained for many family gatherings, and shared many good times. Fishing was another passion of Ray's. He could spend all day in the boat with a fishing pole in his hand trying to catch the “Big One.” The only thing better than fishing was to cook up the days catch. After retirement, he spent many mornings at the Mall at coffee row, enjoying his morning coffee and visiting with friends. He enjoyed riding his bike all over town, and sometimes he would ride out to the Weigh Scales near Beverly, just for something to do. He liked to run and walk, sometimes walking around the block 50 times, or in bad weather, walking on the treadmill. Ray was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1999. After declining health, he was admitted to the Palliser Regional Care Centre in 2000, where he resided until his passing. He made many friends there, and was truly cared for by the caregivers at the Palliser. He loved going to “Breakfast with Betty” – a weekly breakfast club that 6 alternating residents are invited to attend, in the Therapy Department. They are served homemade breakfast – bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns, juice and coffee. Ray amazed the staff by how much he could eat. It made his day! Ray is survived by his son, Darryl (Judy), their children: Dustin, Karla, and Brandie; his son, Richard, his children, Tanza and Shane; his brother, Harvey (Lily), their daughter, Joscelyn (Ed) Froese, and their son, Brayden; his sister, Judy (Brian) Batdorf, their children, Vaughn and Landon; his sister-in-law, Tina Polsfut; his uncle, Martin Polsfut; his aunts, Anne Grenke and Bertha Lund; as well as several cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Mary, in 1993; his father, Johan (John) Polsfut, in 1991; his mother, JulieAnne (Julie) Polsfut, in 1993; and his brother, Emil Polsfut, in 2002. The Memorial Service was held on Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. at Parkside Memorial Funeral Chapel with Pastor Sid Chalmers officiating. A Reading was presented by his sister-in-law, Lily Polsfut and a Special Music Piece was given by his grandson, Dustin Polsfut. The honorary pallbearers were all those who shared in his life. Memorial donations may be made to the Palliser Regional Care Centre or to the Saskatchewan Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. Ray will be sadly missed by family and friends. Although we were not ready to see him go, and it was hard to say goodbye, we know his suffering is over. Rest easy Dad. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Parkside Memorial Funeral Home, Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

HOLDEN - Mr. Lloyd Wilmar, age 87, of Neidpath, Saskatchewan, a retired farmer, passed away March 27, 2005 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. The funeral service was held on April 1, 2005 from St. Olaf Lutheran Church with Pastor Terry Simonson officiating. The organist was Arlie Neufeld, the ushers were granddaughters: Anita Fehr, and Louise Crick. The Urn Bearer was, Lawrence Holden. The Honorary Pallbearers were all those who shared in his life, and Honor Guard were the Swift Current Old Time Fiddlers. The interment was held at the Spring Valley Cemetery, Hallonquist, Saskatchewan. Lloyd was born May 1, 1917 on the family farm at Neidpath. He attended school at Neidpath School District #396. He lost the sight of his left eye in a hunting accident at the age of twelve. Therefore reading was more important to him than sports. At fifteen he started helping on the farm and remained on the farm most of his life. He married Eileen Berge on November 4, 1943 and they raised three children. He had an active mind and was always creating something. This was anything from a fanning mill, which he patented, to stories published in the “Saskatchewan Senior” magazine. He was also community minded. Some of his activities included: School Trustee, RM councilor for RM of Coulee and the Hallonquist History Book, “A Light in the Window.” He learned to play the Accordion at an early age, an interest that continued as long as he could hold his accordion. He played for dances with his sister, Gladys, as a teenager. Later he played with a local group called, “the Vikings”, and spent several years playing with the Swift Current Old Time Fiddlers. A time that was very special to both Lloyd and Eileen. Lloyd’s family was very important to him and he enjoyed his great-grandchildren’s visits even as his health was failing. Lloyd was predeceased by his parents, John and Anna Holden; his two brothers, Hilmer and Melvin; and two brothers-in-law, Dave Jaques, and Leonard Halstrom; and nephew, Clyde Jacques.

PETERS - Mrs. Tena, age 85, of Swift Current, Saskatchewan passed away on Monday, March 21, 2005 at the Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current. Tena was born in the Reinfeld district on October 26, 1919; the oldest daughter of eight children, to Johan & Helena Friesen. After only attending school for four years, she achieved her grade eight education at Iris School. In her early years she was baptized and her faith in the Lord continued to strengthen. She met her life long partner, John, and they were married on November 12, 1944. After living with her parents for a brief time, and after much hard work and commitment, they started their own homestead in the Blumenort area. God blessed their lives with four children. Mom loved the farm, especially the gardening. She always had enough vegetables in her garden for anyone who could use them. Some of our favorite memories are ones where we worked alongside our parents, learning good hard work ethics. They lived on the farm up until they moved into Swift Current in 1977. After their move to town, Mom proved to all of us that she was up for the challenge of getting a job. She was employed in various capacities, but especially enjoyed her Home Care service years. She touched so many lives with her love and compassion as she gave of herself so willingly and unselfishly. In 1992, Dad passed away, bringing with it the challenges that come with living alone. That same year she retired from Home Care, allowing for more time to work with needy individuals on a one to one basis. Her servant attitude was always evident. There was never a time that her door wasn’t open for coffee and of course, cookies. As a young child, her ambition was to become a cook and we were certainly on the receiving end of many years of delicious food. We often wondered how she could survive on ice cream and fries and still look so good! Her grandchildren were a continuous source of joy and were the recipients of daily prayers and constant encouragement. The grandchildren all have memories of special times with Grandma, such as making noodles, mowing the lawn and having a Coke, the annual Easter Egg hunt, as well as many, many wonderful family gatherings. Fellowship around the table always included light-hearted teasing and jokes, to the point of Mom laughing tears! Her love of gardening filled her days and Mom found much joy in seeing her flowers bloom. As well, she spent many hours crocheting blankets and doilies or piecing together wonderful blue jean blankets for us. Even in her final weeks she was putting the last ones together to make sure we all had one. In 1997 and again in 2004, heart problems presented major challenges in Mom’s life; however, we never saw her faith waver. Rather her attitude towards life was one of “God give me grace for this day, just this one day.” Throughout all these wonderful years, the most valuable legacy she leaves to us is her committed walk with her Lord and Saviour. In her own words, “I am so thankful for the wisdom that God has granted to me that I could accept the Saviour as my Lord. I know the Saviour has prepared an eternal home for me. Praise the Lord!” Her passing has left a void in the lives of us, whom she leaves behind: her son, Melvin (Janice), their children, Marla (Maury) Ziegler, and Justin; son, Harry (Connie), their children, Rodney, and Cary (Marc) Urban; daughter, Norma (Pete) Fehr, their children: Kelly (fiancée, Jen), Korilee, and Landon; son, Dale (Charlotte), their children: Mackenzie, Kalen, and Camrynne; sisters: Helen Banman, Marie Funk, and Eva (Arnold) Lang; brothers, John (Susie) Friesen, and Peter Friesen; sisters-in-law: Helen Friesen, Sarah Dyck, and Helen Funk; brother-in-law, Pete (Susie) Peters; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband, John; her parents; brothers, Abe and Jake; brothers-in-law, Ernest Funk, and George Banman; and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Friesen. The funeral service was held on Saturday, March 26, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. at the Church of The Open Bible with Pastor Rob Cochrane officiating. The pianist for the service was Wendy Cochrane and special music was presented by All 4 One. A tribute was given by Tena’s children and grandchildren. The ushers were: Jerry Funk, Karen Erlandson, Helen Aikens and Abe Friesen. The pallbearers were her grandchildren: Marla Ziegler, Justin Peters, Rod Peters, Cary Urban, Kelly Fehr, Korilee Fehr, Landon Fehr, Mackenzie Peters, Kalen Peters and Camrynne Peters. The interment was held at the Wymark EMC Cemetery, Chortitz, Saskatchewan. Memorial donations may be made to Gideon’s International. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Parkside Memorial Funeral Home, Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
