Madeleine Moser
Madeleine Moser of Saskatoon, formerly of Weyburn, after a courageous battle against breast cancer, surrounded by her loving family, our cherished Madeleine passed away peacefully at home on May 18, 2006, at age 56. Predeceased by her husband Tony (September 23, 1999), and her father Ralph Pryce (May 14, 2006), Madeleine is survived by two sons Aaron & Moira - Katherine, Angela, Dominic of Saskatoon and Jason & Tracy of Calgary, AB; her mother Mary Pryce of Assiniboia; siblings and their families: Earl (Karen), Norman (Marlene), George (Loretta), Nancy Giraudier, Michael (Anette); Lester (Juanita); mother-in-law Elsie and brother-in-law Steve. Madeleine Louise Moser, nee Pryce, was born April 3, 1950 in Assiniboia. She grew up on the family farm and attended school in Assiniboia. She married her sweetheart Anthony Moser on October 2, 1971. Shortly after Anthony's graduation from university, they moved from Regina to Fort Qu'Appelle. Their family grew with the addition of two wonderful sons, Aaron and Jason. The family moved to Weyburn in 1985 and Madeleine and Anthony were able to watch their sons grow up and excel in school and athletics. Anthony and Madeleine rarely missed their sons' football games or track meets, no matter where they were held throughout Saskatchewan and beyond! In her professional life, Madeleine designed adult education programs to assist others in developing life skills and ultimately, to help them obtain continued employment. Over the years, she helped hundreds of people in Fort Qu'Appelle, Weyburn, and Sask-atoon to find career opportunities. In 1999 Anthony passed away suddenly and soon after, in 2001, Madeleine was diagnosed with breast cancer. She moved to Saskatoon in 2002 to be closer to her sons and their families. Her illness only strengthened her resolve and she was determined to live life to the fullest. She was a strong and determined woman who loved to shop, garden, and spend time at Clear Lake, MB. One of her biggest joys was shopping with her granddaughters and she was especially grateful that she lived to see her newest grandson arrive in November. Her family and friends will remember her as a generous person who enjoyed showering loved ones with gifts and parcels. She loved to spend time with family and close friends and these times were always joyful and full of laughter. Funeral mass was celebrated at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Weyburn, on Tuesday, May 23, at 2:30 pm. Celebrant was Father Gerry Bauche. Honorary pallbearers were 'All those who shared in Madeleine's Life'. Aaron and Jason gave a tribute to their mother and her daughters-in-law Moira and Tracy read scripture and the intercessions. Pallbearers were her brothers and sister: Earl, Norman, George, Nancy, Michael, and Lester. Donations in memory of Madeleine can be made to the Saskatoon Cancer Centre, 220 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, SK S7N 4H4 or charity of choice. Lunch and conversation followed at the McKenna Hall. A private family interment will be held at a later date in the Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. Arrangements were entrusted to Ross Funeral Service, Assiniboia, and Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn.
