Shirley Icy Scheck
Shirley Scheck a resident of Dawson Creek, B.C. passed away on May 1, 2003 at the age of 46 years. A memorial service was held on Tuesday May 6, 2003 at 1:00 p.m. from Reynars Funeral Chapel, Reverend John Klassen officiated; interment will be at a later date.
Shirley Icy Scheck was born on August 8, 1956 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan to Frank and Winona Leer, a baby sister for Robert, Arthur, Dorothy, Earling and Lester. Their mother passed away in 1961, and Shirley and Lester were raised by their grandparents. In 1968 her dad and Lester moved and Shirley stayed with Dorothy for a year before joining her dad and brother in Quesnel. After High School, she met her first husband, Bob Galbraith, who lived across the road. This relationship gave her many valuable experiences, including three wonderful stepchildren, Curtis, Lynne and Sharon, later becoming Nana to Cody, Shelbie, Robert, Melissa, Daniel, Jeremy and Andrew. This was a role that she was born to play as Shirley loved children, and was called Nana by many other children as well. In 1992 Shirley lost Bob as well as her father, but she moved on with her life, becoming a very independent individual. Shirley made a career of working for 7 Eleven as assistant manager and also team trainer (a position she was very proud of). This job brought her to Dawson Creek, where she met, and fell in love with the milkman. Shirley married Dan Scheck in September of 2002 and anyone who knew her, knew how happy she was. Family and Friends were very important to Shirley, and she loved to take care of them. She was quick to lend a hand or anything to anyone who needed it. Shirley was amazing at remembering things, if you told her in passing that you liked something; if possible she would make sure you got it. She had a wonderful sense of humour and loved jokes. Shirley loved country music and attended as many performances as she could. Her favorite pastime had to be playing cards, and most evenings were spent playing Canasta, Rummy or Crib. Shirley loved her cat CJ and treated him as if he was a child, and he truly believes he is. Shirley will be sadly missed by everyone, and will live on forever in our hearts.

Janice Lavina Kiyawasew
Janice Lavina Kiyawasew a long time resident of Dawson Creek, B.C. and a member of the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation in Alberta; passed away after a lengthy illness on Saturday, December 21, 2002 at the age of 42 years. Janice was born in High Prairie, Alberta on January 14, 1960.
A memorial service was held on April 22, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. from Reynars Funeral Chapel, Father Chris Lynch officiated.
Janice had a great love for the many joys of life but perhaps her greatest joy was being around her family and friends. Janice was greatly influenced by her late Grandmother Isabelle. We remember how hard our Kookum worked and how she always made sure that everyone was fed and clothed properly. Kookum never turned anyone away and she would often be seen feeding and doing whatever she could to help her visitors and neighbors. Observing our grandparents must have had an obvious impact on Janice because the same kindness and generosity that was displayed by both our grandparents was what also made Janice so special to many people that were privileged enough to have known her.
Janice did not turn away anyone who was in need of help. She would often have people stay at her house that had nowhere else to stay. She did not complain, neither did she ask to be paid in any way. Her only payment came in knowing that she did all she could to help others. Janice was someone who would walk into your life when all others walked out. She had a beautiful and loving smile and a laugh that reminded you of someone who had no care in the world but to enjoy the moment. You tended not to take the daily struggles of life too seriously after spending some time with Janice. She just had this calm, patient way about her that made you feel more relaxed and less stressed out. Janice didn’t believe in physical punishment for her kids. She tried her very best to be a good mother to her three daughters. Janice also had this soft and quiet presence about her as well, but if someone were to pick on her family or friends then those people would find out quickly just how fierce and fearless she could be when it came to protecting her loved ones.
Janice wasn’t just a friend to people. Many people regarded her as a sister, someone who was always there to share her time with anyone who was feeling lonely and just needing someone to talk to. She was the type of person who would share the last of her bread to anyone who was hungry.
Janice loved animals. She would often bring home stray dogs and puppies and she’d take it upon herself to nurture and care for them. She wasn’t too fond of cats but if she happened to see one on the street that seemed to be in need of help, there was Janice bringing the cat home.
Janice also had a love for music; she enjoyed listening to her favorite albums or someone playing a guitar.
When Janice was young she spoke the Cree Language. When she was very young some of her uncles would jokingly ask her “tansi Kisikason” (What is your name). Janice would casually reply “Meemin tanta”. In her own words what she was trying to say was “Raymond’s daughter” in Cree.
Janice would spend time between Dawson Creek and Sturgeon Lake in her youth. When she missed seeing her family and friends in Sturgeon Lake, she would make it a point to go and visit even if it meant having to hitch hike.
Janice loved to swim. She would spend all the daylight hours in the water if she could. You had to literally drag her out of the water. She loved swimming in Sturgeon Lake. In the winter we would toboggan down the hills near our grandparents’ house. Janice also loved to ride horses. She had a favorite horse down at a place call Doonans‚ in Dawson Creek. Janice had a special love for animals and the animals always seemed to respond positively to her.
Janice loved to get together with friends and family for special occasions like Christmas and Birthdays. Janice had a great sense of humor and you could always hear her rich and lively laugh. She was not a person to dwell on anything negative, she had an amazing inner strength. Janice taught others how to love and live life to the fullest.
Janice was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, Constant and Isabelle Kiyawasew and paternal grandparents, Frank and Jeanette Mitchell.
Janice was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by daughters Jessica, Trudy, Kelly and granddaughter Bailey, mother Mary Kiyawasew of Dawson Creek, and father Raymond Mitchell of Debolt, sister Sandra(Richard)Kiyawasew-Webb, Jackie (Gilles) Kiyawasew, Marj Blais, brothers Chris (Bettina)Kiyawasew, and Duncan Kiyawasew. Janice also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends.

Eva Kathleen Haugen
Eva Haugen a long time resident of the Peace River Country passed away on April 16th, 2003 at the age of 79 years. A funeral service was held on Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. from the South Peace United Church, Reverend Judy Hare officiated, interment followed in the Brookside Cemetery.
Eva Kathleen Haugen was born July 8, 1923 to Guy and Lila Haney. Her early years were spent in the Spring Hill and Arras area. Eva told how she enjoyed working outdoors with her dad, she was always very proud of her parents’ ambition and contribution to their community and their kindness towards friends and neighbours. She also recalled many fond memories of her brothers and sister as they were growing up together.
Eva married Ken Haugen in August 1946. Together they raised seven children.
Eva had a great love of family and this showed through in everything she did. She was always a friend as well as a guiding and loving presence to all of her family. Eva was always interested in what was going on in the lives of her children and grandchildren and they were always eager to share their experiences with her because they could always expect praise and encouragement from her. If there were a need for criticism she would deliver it in a gentle and positive way that usually proved to be most effective.
Even in these last few years Eva consistently proved what a caring person she was to all of her family, she would always ask about everyone else’s health and minimize her own problems. All who were fortunate enough to have known her will sadly miss her. Eva leaves to mourn, her husband Ken, five daughters and sons-in-law, one son and daughter-in-law, 16 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
