SCHWENNEKER - J.E. Neal Schwenneker, born February 24, 1916 in Moose Jaw, SK. passed away peacefully at Providence Place at the age of 89 years on March 28, 2005. Neal attended many schools in Moose Jaw, including High School at Ross School and Central Collegiate.

Neal began his working life at Swift Canadian and worked his way into management there. In 1943 he joined the Canadian Airforce where he graduated as a Pilot Officer Airgunner. He was sent overseas in 1944 and returned home 2 years later. After returning to Swifts for some time Neal ventured into his own business. He leased the National Flour Mills and bought and shipped grain and ran a Feed Plant at the same location. He and a partner purchased a farm 2 miles west of Mortlach and raised a few cattle and started a Turkey Farm, raising up to 50, 000 turkeys. They had a turkey hatchery called the Sunshine Turkey Hatchery. In 1960 Neal started as a Sales Representative for Investors Group. He became a Division Manager for 7 years and then a Senior Account Executive until retiring in May of 1990 after 30 of what he referred to as the "Best years of their lives. " Neal was very involved with sports. This is how he met the love of his life, Irma Coll.

Neal was talented in many sports and enjoyed them all. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #3 as well as being an active member of the Lion's Club for many years. Neal and Irma were long time members of Zion United Church. They were well known for their dancing in and around Moose Jaw. They were the envy of all as they twirled around the room and they didn't stop until Irma died in 1998. He was a wonderful father and grandfather and taught us all by his example. Many people were touched by his gentle, kind ways and he will be sadly missed by both friends and family.

CRABTREE - Dr. Gertrude Sharon It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Gertrude (Trudy) Sharon Crabtree on Thursday, August 25, 2005 in Calgary, Alberta, after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Trudy was born on August 6th, 1952 at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Regina, Saskatchewan. She attended elementary school at Davin School, high school at Central Collegiate, and university first at the University of Regina and then at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. She graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Medical School (where she both studied hard and loved to play on the women's basketball team) in 1977, and the following year completed her internship at St. Paul's hospital in Saskatoon. Trudy married Garnet Holizki on May 5th, 1978 and moved to Calgary in June of that year, where she began her Residency in Pathology at the Foothills Hospital. Upon successful completion of that program, Trudy began a year-long Post-Graduate Fellowship at Stanford University in California before returning to practice Pathology at the General Hospital, the Peter Lougheed Hospital, and most recently at the Rockyview Hospital. Trudy was active in her church, the Church of the Good Shepherd, for many years. She taught Sunday school, coordinated annual fundraising drives for the PWRDF (Primate's World Relief and Development Fund), and was a member of the committee responsible for selecting a new priest after the retirement of Rev. R. Brassell. While Trudy's passion was the practice of medicine and anatomic pathology in particular, her great joy in life was her family. She loved to relax at the cottage at Buena Vista Beach in Saskatchewan, which she visited every year of her life but the last, accompanied by children, cousins, parents, and friends, to swim, water-ski, and most importantly work on her tan. She actively participated in her children's education and during their public school years would delight their classes with presentations on anatomy. A thank-you poster from one Grade Three class was proudly displayed in her office (Dear Dr. Crabtree: Thank you for showing us the brain.). Passing on her values and sense of justice to her children was her proudest achievement. Her latest interest was the discovery of gardening, and she proudly spent time in her garden working amongst all her beautiful flowers. Trudy is survived by her husband Garnet Holizki, daughter Alexis, and son Spencer of Calgary, and by her mother Elizabeth (Betty) Crabtree of Regina, brother Harry (Shivon) Crabtree, nephew Jack, and niece Catherine of Calgary, sisters-in-law Theresa (Terri) of Vancouver and Lois Edgar and nephew Cameron of Victoria, father-In-law Frank Holizki of Saskatoon, Aunt Bette and Uncle Doug Catling of Regina Beach, and numerous relatives in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. She is predeceased by her sister Maureen and her father John (Jack) Crabtree. The Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, August 30 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Mary's Anglican Church 3337 15 Avenue, The Reverends Dunstan Pasterfield and Claude Schroeder presiding. Interment will take place at Riverside Memorial Park in Regina. Special thanks to Dr. P. Ghatage, the nurses and staff at Tom Baker Cancer Centre, the Foothills Hospital Unit 42B, and the Sarcee Hospice nurses and staff. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 HERITAGE FAMILY FUNERAL SERVICES Heritage Funeral Home Telephone 299-0100 SPEERS FUNERAL CHAPEL Telephone 522-3232
