DAUK - Sister Mary Verda (Frances Mary Dauk), born at Annaheim, Saskatchewan November 17, 1907, died in Regina on December 7, 2003. Sister was one of eleven children born to Frank Dauk and Elizabeth Scharback who immigrated to Canada from Mankato, Minnesota just before Frances was born. Frances (Fanny) attended Laurier Public School in Annaheim, the Ursuline Convent in Bruno, Saskatchewan and Sacred Heart College in Regina before joining the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1931. Most of Sister's life was spent in teaching, 22 years in Regina, 7 in Wolseley, Saskatchewan, 7 in Brandon, Manitoba and 1 in Fort Frances, Ontario. For most of the time from 1952 until her retirement from teaching in 1972 Sister was also School Principal. In her "spare time" Sister Mary Verda was a tireless volunteer, training altar servers, Brownies and Girl Guides, running Red Cross activities, teaching catechism in the country during school holidays, and visiting the sick and the families of her students. Retirement from teaching freed her for pastoral work in Wolseley and two other missions; choir work, interfaith groups, teaching English to refugees, preparing parcels of clothing for the missions, and producing handicrafts for gifts and bazaars were among her other occupations. In all this activity the most important part of Sister's life was deepening her relationship with God, followed closely by her love for her family, who in turn showered her with affection, and by her loyalty to her religious congregation. In 1999 Sister moved into the "Sisters' Residence" at Santa Maria and there continued her life of cheerful generosity, visiting the patients upstairs, praying for the dying, and maintaining a large correspondence. One could scarcely believe the extent of this woman's activities even into the last month of her long life. Sister Verda was predeceased by her parents, her sister, Mary Doepker, Magdalena, Rose, Adelheid (Sister Aloysia, O.S.U) and Margaret (Sister Mary Mathilde, RNDM), and her brothers, Alois, Joseph, William, and Frank. Left to mourn her loss are her brother Anthony of Swift Current, numerous nieces and nephews and their children, and the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions. Prayers will be held on Tuesday, December 10 at 7 p.m. in the chapel of Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home, 4215 Regina Avenue. Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, December 11 at 10a.m. at Holy Rosary Cathedral. Friends who so wish may make a memorial donation to the Mission Fund of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, 800 Adele Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0K6.

HUNTER, ANNE MARIE (NEE OFF) 22/02/12 02/12/03 - Anne was an enthusiastic supporter of First Baptist Church and a resident of First Baptist Place on Smith Street in Regina with her husband, Melvyn. They both enjoyed a certain amount of youthful glee over the fact that their suite 201 was spatially located in almost exactly the same spot where they first began their married lives together in a second floor room in Melvyn's mother's house at 2137 Smith Street, some sixty years before. She was a long time contributing member of the Alabee (phonetic spelling) Circle at the church in the sixties and they rarely missed a Sunday church service at First Baptist Church. Anne was an extremely active participant in her grandchildren's and even her great grandchildren's lives playing with them in neighbourhood playgrounds, joining in the family home games of bridge, crokinole, and watching the Blue Jays.She took great pride in her athletic accomplishments which spanned seven decades, throughout her active lifetime. She was the ladies softball team pitcher at the Regina General Hospital in the1920's, shot a hole in one at the first hole of the Par Three Golf Course on Pasqua Street in the 1970's, and bowled a three game combination 729 score at the Regina Bowlodrome in League play in the 1990's. She was famous, within her family, for her long walks well into her eighties. She would think nothing of walking from First Baptist Place to the Grey Nun's hospital. Her love for small children was not restricted to her own family. She spent many years caring for the children of First Baptist Church in the Nursery while their parents attended services or functions in the church. Anne was a loving, devoted mother to her children and wife to her husband Melvyn, overcoming much hardship to provide them with a warm and loving home, as she did as a teenager with her own brothers and sister upon the early departure of their parents. She died peacefully on Dec. 2 at her residence in Ottawa after a short illness. She is predeceased by her husband Melvyn, brothers Frank, Larry, and Charlie. She is lovingly remembered by her brother, John (Thunder Bay, Ontario) and her sister Agnes (Timmins, Ontario), her daughter Lillian (Apollo Beach, Florida), and sons Stewart and Harry (Ottawa, Ontario), as well as her ten grandchildren, Guy, Mark, Scott, Riana, Lora, Randy, Steven, Kenneth, Kevin, Karen Dawn. Her five great grandchildren include Alyssa, Brandyn, Logan, Kirklan, and Jamison. Funeral services will be held at First Baptist Church, Regina, where she and her husband Melvyn were life members, Monday, Dec. 15th, 11:00 am. The internment will follow the service.
