Winnifred Helena Sorsdahl

Winnifred Helena (Benton) Sorsdahl passed away peacefully on March 17th, 2006 at the age of 96. Her parents Thomas and Amelia (Franklin) Benton, Husband Wilfred Sorsdahl, Sister Betty (Benton), Brother-in-law Louis Sorsdahl predecease her. Winnie leaves to celebrate her life: only child Arvid (Marie) Sorsdahl, Grandchildren, Sheila (Calvin) Pankratz, Timothy (Vicky Roslinsky) Sorsdahl, Katherine (Arnold) Buehler; Great Grandchildren: Angela and Kyle Pankratz and Daniel, Aaron and Maria Buehler and one Great Great Grandchild Kellan Pankratz, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and special friends. Winnie was born September 23 1909 in England. She immigrated to Canada in 1914 and settled in Fillmore. Completed grade 12 in 1929 and attained the standing of Permanent First Class Teacher from Regina Normal School in 1932. She met her soul mate Wilf, married him on November 2 1935, and settled in Fillmore. They were blessed with a son, Arvid, on November 7 1940. Winnie's love for children touched every aspect of her life. She believed in teaching by example and a busy child is a happy child. As Mother, teacher and scout leader she lived that belief. Most will remember Winnie in her garden surrounded by flowers. A nice break to gardening was having a friend come for afternoon tea and of course cookies. Winnie was an active member of the Rebecca Lodge, U.C.W, and Women's Missionary society for over 50 years. In her golden years she took courses in book keeping, traveled extensively, and even learned to drive at the age of 76. Winnie's passion and dedication to her family, church, and community will be missed. A celebration of her life will take place at Fillmore United Church on March 30th at 2:00 pm with Rev. Heather Lea officiating. Interment to follow in Fillmore Cemetery. The Honorary Pallbearers will be all those attending. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to a charity of your choice.

Ralph Mokelki

Ralph Mokelki, late of Weyburn, passed away on Friday, April 7, 2006 at the age of 82 years. Ralph was born at Lake Alma, April 21, 1923 and lived there until the family moved to Goodwater in 1935. He grew up in the great Saskatchewan prairie country that he loved so much during the hard years of the Great Depression. I believe that those hard years growing up helped him prepare for what he had to do next - fight for his country and world freedom. Ralph enlisted in 1942, originally with the Tank Corp, then with the First Canadian Parachute Battalion. He was among the first troops to parachute in behind enemy lines on D-Day. Their mission included securing the drop zone for those that followed and then to assist in knocking out artillery emplacements and preventing enemy re-supply and re-enforcement allowing those troops involved with the June beach landings to get their jobs done. He also fought in the Ardennes Woods commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge, the Rhine Drop and the push to Wismar. Ralph met Jean Walsh, from Nova Scotia, during the war years; they married at New Glasgow on June 24, 1945. They lived in Truro for about a year where he did a carpentry apprenticeship, before moving briefly to Goodwater where their first son, Roy, was born. They moved to Kinnaird, B.C., and Ralph worked at the smelter in Trail, BC. While living there four more children, Patsy, Danny, Chris and Lana were born. They moved back to Goodwater to farm in 1954. Two more children, Garry and Gail were born. They never had a lot of money but always found ways to raise their family of seven kids and have some fun doing it. Ralph farmed and worked in the oil field. He later learned how to do plumbing from Popular Mechanics magazine and did that on the side to subsidize the farm income. He also loved to fish, hunt, golf, and spend time with his friends. He was involved in the community, and his children's activities. He did some coaching with ball. They built a cabin on Lac LaRonge in 1982 where they spent much time fishing and entertaining for the next 10 years. They lost their Goodwater home to a fire in August 1997. They purchased another home and stayed in Goodwater until September of 2000 when they retired into Weyburn. January 2004 Ralph and Jean moved into Hill Top Manor. Ralph was predeceased by his wife Jean; his parents, Rockus and Celestine; his granddaughter, Tracy Mokelki; his brothers, Roy and Mark; and his sisters, Elaine McDowell and Tillie Woitas. Ralph is survived by his sons: Roy Mokelki, Eastend, with children Jody (Robin), Chris, Cory; Dan (Lois) Mokelki, Prince Albert, with children Jaimie (Cory Lillis) two children Skylar and Logan; Daniel, Darcy, Amanda (Jason Barrett) and Madison; Chris (Wendy) Mokelki, Balgonie, with daughters Shawna and son, Riley; Lori (Shane Stoll) and son Jacob, and daughter Lilly; Heather (Chris Gervais); Garry (Donelda) Mokelki, Goodwater, with children Kane and his two children SoNova and Aryk; Natasha, Rayna and Tonya; daughters: Patsy (Albert Ernst) Goodwater, with daughters Lanette and Stephanie (Jimmie Blanchard); Lana (John Tosczak) Tribune, with daughters Donna (Merle Fonstad) and children Kelsey and Cole, Tanya with her sons Dwayne and Davin, Tricia (Darren Boren) and children Jayda and Ty, Amanda (Kraig Wanner) and children Dayman and Kayla, Shannon and son Mason; Gail Becker (Wayne Nykoluk) Red Deer, AB with children Tara (Tom Patrick), Kurt (Tami-Marie) Becker and son Chase, Andrea and Alisha; sisters, Belle Gray, Salmon Arm, BC and Margaret Johnson, Castlegar, BC; sister-in-law, Dorothy Draper, Holly Hill, Florida; and many nieces and nephews. The Memorial Service for Ralph Mokelki was held on Tuesday, April 11 at 11:00 a.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Weyburn, with Rev. John Ferrier Officiating. All in attendance were considered Honorary Pallbearers. Ralph was a Legion member of 56 years. An Honor Guard was in attendance during the playing of the Last Post at funeral service. Interment was at Goodwater Cemetery. For friends so wishing, donations in memory of Ralph may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the CNIB. Arrangements were entrusted to RD Family Memorial Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, (848-0333).

May Crump

Mrs. May Svea Olivia (nee Anderson) Crump passed into the arms of God on April 9, 2006 at the Weyburn General Hospital, with her family by her side. She was 96 years of age. May was born May 1, 1909, in a sod house on her parents' homestead southeast of Trossachs. While she was still an infant, the family moved to Trossachs, where she grew up, was educated, and was a long time resident. She completed her Grade 12 in Moose Jaw, and attended Normal School at Regina College, receiving her teaching certificate. After teaching for a year at Robsart, she returned to Regina College for two years to pursue her life long love of music, achieving her ATCM (Associate of Toronto Conservatory of Music) degree. She then taught school at Abbott for five years, where she boarded with the Crump family, and met her future husband. After attending the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon to take Primary Teaching Methods, she taught for several years at Coronach and Welwyn, before returning to marry Carl Crump in 1941. After several years on the farm, the young family moved to Trossachs where she gave music lessons and became active in the United Church, serving as organist for many years, and led junior and senior choirs. Always an outgoing, kind and generous wife, mother and friend, she greatly enjoyed visiting and sharing her musical gift with others at any gathering or function. She was an active member of the Trossachs Square Dance Club, Homemakers, U.C.W., Women's Institute, and the Town & Country Women. In recent years, May and Carl enjoyed playing with the Weyburn Merry Makers, playing old time music at nursing homes and for functions in Weyburn and area. Still active, but with failing health, they moved to Weyburn in 2003 to be closer to medical services and their music. The highlight of her musical career was playing with Carl and the Weyburn Merry Makers to a full house at the Centre of the Arts, Regina, for senior fun day.
