Wm. Keith Paul
Wm. Keith Paul born, June 16, 1922, died, January 4, 2006. Keith was born number eight in the large Paul family that began in 1905. Though the adversities of wars brought depression, early deaths in the family and often near poverty, they emerged proud and caring members of their community. It's Keith's wish that the following generations maintain this image. Keith spent his formative and educational years at Tyvan, Brownlee, Kisbey and Weyburn. After his education, he spent a few years on a farm, but joined the R.C. N. V. R. and was trained in Regina, Esquimalt, BC, Halifax, NS and Baltimore, Maryland. He was then posted on the corvette "H.M.C.S. Kamsack" and spent the next two years doing convoy duty on the North Atlantic. At war's end, Keith returned to Weyburn, thankful he had survived and not knowingly had to take a human being's life under the guise of war. In the Fall of 1945, Keith started a 41 year career in psychiatric nursing. The first few years, due to custodial care philosophies, there was little personal satisfaction, but with advances and changes in the mental health field and more progressive personnel, this career grew into a rewarding and satisfying life until his retirement in 1987. Most of his career and retirement years were shared by his wife, Clara for over 57 years. She helped Keith around many rough corners over the years. Keith was the last of his family, being predeceased by his parents, seven sisters and two brothers. He was also predeceased by his wife, Clara, daughter, Arla Johnson and granddaughter, Kelly Paul. Surviving are two sons, Terry (Wanda) Paul and Brian (Verna) Paul, and one son-in-law, Morris Johnson, three sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law, nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, also numerous nieces and nephews. At heart, Keith was a proud, kind and caring individual with a good sense of humor, however, this was often over shadowed by his cynical and self-directed disposition. Also Keith was very conscious of any form of hypocrisy. This affected relationships and molded his unorthodox philosophies of life. On his request, cremation will take place. There will be no religious services. His ashes will be placed alongside those of his wife in the Columbarium at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, date pending. Donations may be made in his memory to the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn, (842-5432)

Betty was born on the family farm north of Amulet. She attended Medora School to grade nine then quit to stay home and help on the farm. She went to Avonlea to cooking school and then worked in Regina as a cook in a restaurant. Cooking and baking were some of her greatest passions, as many of us can attest to her great meals prepared in a few minutes. Betty taught community college, German cooking classes in many communities including: Ogema, Bengough, Assiniboia, Parry, Mazenoid, Mossbank, Coronach, Tugauske and Weyburn, where she enjoyed every moment she spent getting to know and help the students.

She became well known for her buns, broccoli casserole, cabbage rolls, apple strudel, German hot potato salad and canned peaches. On October 14, 1942, Betty married John Yung who was the love of her life. They then lived on a farm near Parry and later bought the Maxwell place two and a half miles north of Amulet. In 1975 they retired to Ogema where they resided until their health declined. Betty loved children and was always bringing a nephew or niece home with her. Finally they adopted two children, Margaret in 1953 and Raymund in 1956. They were always told they were very special because they were chosen. Betty's deep love for her children carried on to her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. No task was ever too great for her to help the kids with and they always knew her door was open. Betty's sewing skills there was nothing Betty couldn't mend, repair or create and was as close to a professional seamstress as one could get. Another role for her was doctor Betty. There are many stories of her famous Mustard Plasters, a sure cure for a cold. She was always the nurse maid, to family, friends or someone who needed her help. Her biggest role was taking care of her husband, John, especially after he developed Parkinson's Disease and she remained by his side caring for him until his death in 2004. They were able to spend 61 wonderful years by each others side. Betty's faith in God was very strong. She never missed a Sunday Service or went through a day without a prayer. After her health declined and she was no longer able to attend mass, she would often be found with her Bible and Rosary. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Prayers were said Friday, December 30 at 7:00 p.m. from Holy Angel's Church in Pangman. The Funeral Mass was held on Saturday, December 31 at 10:30 a.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman with Father Francis "Prince" Kurisinkal celebrant.
