Glenn Norman Krueger
Mr. Glenn Norman Krueger of Shaunavon, aged 74, passed away on Tuesday, February 28, 2006 at the Regina General Hospital. Glenn was born on May 11, 1931 in Estevan, to Carl and Clara Krueger. His mother Clara died shortly after his birth. Carl was a farmer in the Huntoon district and he struggled like many others at the time to provide for his family during the 1930's depression era. A new baby and the loss of his wife meant Carl had to rely on assistance from family, primarily Clara's mother, to help with the upbringing of Glenn and his older siblings, Lorna and Lawrence. When Glenn was age nine, his father married Eleanor Hildahl and the family soon grew to include sisters Carolyn, Karen and Bonnie. His early years were not easy and taught Glenn to not take anything or anyone for granted. This remained a guiding principle throughout his life. The value of hard work and the importance of education were lessons learned first hand as he grew up and had to make his own way long before his time. Glenn moved to Shaunavon in the 1950's to work for Tide Water Oil Company. On November 14, 1956 he married Joanne Gajek in Shaunavon. Glenn and Joanne lived in Dollard briefly and then moved house and home into Shaunavon where they raised their family, son Kim born April 29, 1958 and daughter Kelly born November 1, 1959. Glenn finished his career in 1988, and ultimately enjoyed his retirement in Shaunavon. Glenn was a loving and caring father, who was an integral and important part of both Kim and Kelly's lives right up until his passing. Many of their friends became his friends as well. Karen and Bonnie were more than just Glenn's sisters. They were his confidants to the end. Glenn was very close to his nieces and nephews and he followed their lives with great interest. Glenn was an active and concerned member of the community. Throughout his 50+ years as a resident of Shaunavon, much of his spare time was spent being actively engaged in wildlife, gun club, coaching hockey, school board, oil industry association, political campaigns, and local economic development activities. His greatest pleasures came from simple things. Glenn enjoyed the outdoors and could see in the prairies that which many missed or took for granted. Hunting, fishing, golf, gardening and simply a drive in the country, alone or with friends, would bring him great pleasure. His yard and garden provided toil and comfort. He took great pride in them and enticed many wild birds to stop by. Indoors, his enjoyment came from collecting pocket watches, cooking, reading, watching curling and hockey, following the hockey careers of extended 'family', email and of course Mei Sui, his constant companion and loving dog of the last 14 years. Glenn's wit, wisdom, generosity and humility have touched many people. His friendships transcended generations, were life-long and highly cherished. Several friends were considered and treated as family. He remained in close contact with so many whether in person, by mail, phone or email. He was predeceased by his wife, Joanne on April 2, 1992; mother, Clara on May 14, 1931; sister, Carolyn on May 20, 1946; sister, Lorna on June 26, 1969; father, Carl on February 13, 1983; stepmother, Eleanor on December 30, 1991; brother, Lawrence on March 29, 1997. Glenn is survived by son Kim in Calgary, AB, daughter Kelly in Calgary, sister Karen (Elmer Vicary) in Estevan, sister Bonnie (Don Pearson) in Surrey BC, sister-in-law Rose (Lawrence) in Victoria, BC and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life memorial in Glenn's honour will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. at Christ the King Hall in Shaunavon. Interment of his cremated remains will take place at St. Mary's R.C. Cemetery at Shaunavon. Binkley's Funeral Service (www.Binkleys.com) is in charge of the arrangements.

Philip was born February 18, 1910 at Wolsely, the second child of ten children, eight boys and two girls. He attended school at Fredd Lake and Alslive schools, he always said he went right through school, in the front door and out the back. Philip was married to Avice McDermid, November 25, 1942. They farmed the Rene Fossnier farm for one year, then moved to town where Philip worked as a caretaker of the curling rink as well as trapped muskrats for extra income. In 1945 they moved to Brooking to work for Jim Mooney on his farm. Philip and Avice were musicians and they were able to use this talent to help pay the bills by playing for many school and wedding dances in the area (anyone remember Rubber Dolly?). In 1946, Philip bought his dad's farm, five miles southwest of Radville. He also worked as a grader operator and telephone repairman. Philip and Avice also boarded school teachers. In 1948 Philip and Avice started their family with the birth of Nyla. Philip continued to farm and work odd jobs until he sold the farm in 1972. In 1966 the family was blessed with a grandson, Ray. In 1967 Phil and Avice bought the McDermid house in Radville. Philip worked as a carpenter with some of his friends, Norman and Leonard Rasmuson, Harold Hubbard and Dan Larsen, until he retired. After Avice returned from the Marian Home, Philip and Avice spent countless hours playing music, playing cards, fishing, playing Bingo, gardening and visiting with the many friends they had. They were also able to take trips with Nyla and Ian. Philip's wife and family were so important to him, he showed them on a daily basis. When Philip and Avice celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, he was asked if he would do it again, and he replied 'If it was the same woman'. Philip and Avice were married for 60 years. Philip had the treasured Becker humor, with his quick witted, one liners and stories. Once, when repairing a player piano, he needed to buy all the skipping ropes he could to replace the deteriorated hoses in the piano. When asked by a clerk why a man would need so many skipping ropes, he replied, "I just started taking pills and the Doc said to take one and skip a day, and as I plan to live a long time, I'm going to need a lot of ropes." Due to his failing health, Philip moved into the Marian Home in 1997, and lived there until his passing. He will be dearly missed by all he knew and loved.

Margaret Lauder
Margaret Norine Lauder (nee Brock) passed away March 11, 2006. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Robert Lauder; her parents Joe and Leah Brock; her in-laws Reg and Amy Lauder; sisters Grace Button (Stan), Patsy Murray (Rod) and Emma Brock; brothers, Bill Brock (Jessie), Bud, Doug and Delbert Brock; sisters-in-law: Veronica Brock, Minnie St. Onge (David), Dora Fisher (George), and Ethel Rososki; a brother-in-law Don Lauder (Clara). Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her brother, Russell Brock, McTaggart; her sister, Ethel Campbell Peterborough, ON; sisters-in-law: Irma Brock, Weyburn, Della Brock, Mississauga ON, Verna Brock, Gravenhurst, ON and Vi Lauder, Regina; a brother-in-law Bill Rososki, Weyburn as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Margaret's life started on April 28, 1918. Born on the home farm 3.5 miles west of Weyburn. Most of her education was received at West Weyburn School, one mile from the Brock home. Education was very important to Margaret. Grades 9, 10 and 11 were taken by correspondence. After grade 12, at the Weyburn Collegiate, Margaret ventured off to Regina Normal School, acquiring her teaching certificate. Faith was important to Margaret and she attended Sunday School and church at West Weyburn School, then in McTaggart. Margaret also attended Canadian Girls in Training, Young Peoples at McTaggart and the Homecraft Club at West Weyburn. This provided many hours of social diversion and skill development.
Baseball games and sports days fed her competitive spirit. The summer community picnics provided enjoyment and fellowship. Christmas concerts were exciting, as one waited anxiously in the wings to say their recitation. Growing up in the Brock household, one had to develop a good sense of humor to survive. Margaret, Patsy and Ethel chummed around with the Brown girls, after one skating party, the Brown girls went to go home, but could not, as their boots were missing. After a search, Stan Button located the boots, down the outhouse hole. The boots were eventually fished out and the girls finally made their way home. No one claimed title to the prank, though the sisters had their suspicions. Riding her horse "Gypsy" was also a favorite pastime. Margaret first became acquainted with Bob when her father, delivered her south of Oungre, to Round Grove School. She had applied for a job teaching. Bob's father, Reginald, was chairman of the school board and on arrival at his home, a contract for services was signed. First boarding place was the Holmes', not far from the school. She found the parents of the children very friendly and they made her feel at home. In later years, Margaret would recall that only the brightest and best-behaved children attended that school. Bob liked to visit the Holmes' residence to play cards. Margaret really did not enjoy cards but joined in anyway. She and Bob developed a friendship that eventually led to their marriage. On February 4, 1941 they were married in Yellow Grass. Margaret took her marriage vows very seriously; she would state, "a very special man put this ring on my finger." As Bob and Margaret lived with Reginald and Amy on the Lauder home farm, she was encouraged to continue teaching. Margaret respected and admired her in-laws. Eventually the two families, the Brocks and the Lauders, became good friends and visited often.
Margaret enjoyed many happy memories of the good neighbors she and Bob had on the farm. As well as being wonderful neighbors, Bob and Margaret became family to many. She happily attended the Mother's Day tea, held yearly at Lyndale School. Margaret's patience was evidenced not only by the beautiful flowers she kept and the generous breads she baked, but also by the warm and loving environment that surrounded her. There were always puzzles, books and games at Margaret's house to keep children engaged. As the number of nieces and nephews grew, so did her list of overnight visitors to the farm. She was the favorite aunt. Many of the nieces are named after Margaret. For one niece, she gave the toast to the bride at her reception. Now Margaret, as truthful as ever, told the audience gently, that she loved the girl, but the husband may "have a tough time of it". The niece was happy that Margaret shared that information with the groom after the wedding and not before. Margaret always remembered special occasions and birthdays. She would send $5.00 in the card to nephews, nieces and community children. Margaret enjoyed the outdoors, tending her garden, the calves and the cats. Indoors she was adept at sewing, quilting and cooking. She was a member of the Oungre United Church and the UCW. In later years, she and Bob built their new home across from Oungre Park. She bowled often and having that indoor pool so near, decided to give it a try. She purchased a swimsuit and a lifejacket and found much to her dismay, that she resembled a rock, as floating did not come naturally to her. Bob and Margaret played many games of bridge and square danced for many years. Numerous charities over the years were benefactors of Margaret's generosity. Their needs were always greater, then her own. Reading was always an enjoyable pastime for Margaret. Corresponding with friends and relatives was an enjoyable task. Bob passed away of cancer at home in 1992. Margaret remained independent in their Oungre home until it became necessary for her to move into a condo in Weyburn. She was unfortunately only able to stay in it for about a year. Because of ill health, she moved into the Weyburn Special Care Home. Margaret was very appreciative of the care she received in the home. She received many visitors, cards, letters and phone calls from friends and family, while she was in the Special Care Home. Margaret, may you rest in peace and enjoy your first dance with Bob.

Graceful & Charming (Sweet Forget-Me-Not)
Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower so bright and fair,
Grace and beauty, both combine to make that far more rare
Like a maiden that I know who shared my happy life,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".
She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not,
You'll forget me not."
