HERRIOT - Mr. Charles Robert, aged 85 years of Cabri/Lancer, Saskatchewan passed away on Monday, October 6, 2003 at the Cabri Prairie Health Care Centre. The funeral service was held on Friday, October 10, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. from Cabri Roman Catholic Church with Father Stephen Bill and Father David Polzen officiating. Special music was provided by Dave and Leone Hagel. The organist was Richelle Andreas-Titemore and the bugler was Bert Culham. The ushers were, Stan Bradford and Ralph Bradford. The pallbearers were: Blair Anderson, Brent Bradford, Kelly Bradford, Lloyd Hartman, Ryan Nobbs and Ross Forster. Honorary pallbearers were all of his family and friends. The interment was held at Lancer Cemetery, Lancer, Saskatchewan. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Cabri Hospital Auxiliary or the Graveyard Maintenance Fund in Lancer. Charles is survived by his sister, Patricia Aisman; nephews, Gordon Aisman and James MacIntyre; niece, Patricia May; brother-in-law, Frank Widdifield; as well as many friends. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Elizabeth Herriot; sisters, Marie and Gertrude and Julia in infancy. Charlie was born and raised on his father’s farm northeast of Lancer. He spent most of his 85 years there. Charlie enlisted in the service – in the Air Force no less and spent sometime as a P.O.W. after his plane was shot down. He came back to the farm after the war, and from then on was a farmer. Charlie was a man of the land. Farming isn’t an easy life, but he accepted that. And being a man of the land goes beyond crops and grain prices; it means being able to see the things we exist with. Bird songs, the way clouds form and what does it mean, animal tracks, nature on it’s own terms. He once pointed out a raccoon track in the mud to me, I had never seen a real raccoon in the wild before so the tracks alone were thrilling enough; somehow I think Charlie knew that they would be. He loved to go out to the East Sandhills and hunt geese, usually with Herman Dencker. Most days they’d be the first ones out there, and you’d find one or the other in the bush near the “old post”, waiting for the geese. Charlie got his share, but just being out there would have been enough. Charlie made every moment count, however that’s not to say he was always on the go - quite the contrary. For him there was always time. Time to put the crop in, time to take it off, time to fix something, time to answer a child’s questions, time to paint, and time to look at what he created. He was able to master time before it mastered him. Charlie was good at living life. He loved to paint and he enjoyed going to the rink to watch hockey. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. He’d come to church and bring his mother. He enjoyed “coffee row” and would often stop in to visit friends for some reason or another. He and his brother-in-law, Frank, would go on road trips and end up on a “short-cut” where there wasn’t any road. He loved to read and tend his garden and yard. We’re going to miss Charlie. The smell of his pipe; the over-ripe corn; the pumpkins “for the kids”. We’ll always remember the instant Polaroid photos he’d take at Halloween and the inevitable orange and black wrapped, too hard but last forever toffees. We’ll miss his stories, his ever-present humor, and his distinctive chuckle. Charlie, we will remember you in those wispy clouds that mean only wind, in your paintings, and in the muddy tracks of critters of all sorts. God rest you Charlie . . . . . you’ve earned it. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Parkside Memorial Funeral Home, Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
UNGER - Mrs. Elizabeth (Betty), passed away on September 9, 2003 at the Herbert Nursing Home at the age of 88. She was born on December 17, 1914 to Abram and Maria Wiebe in the Ufa Region of Russia. Elizabeth and her family left Russia for Canada in 1925, moving to a farm at Colonsay, Saskatchewan where she got her education to Grade 6. The family moved to several locations in Saskatchewan and eventually to Ontario. However Elizabeth stayed and worked in Saskatoon where she met and married David Unger on January 14, 1945. They farmed at Moose Range where Mary was born. In the spring of 1946 they moved to a farm at Lobethal where the twins, John and Ruth, were born. David and Daniel were also born there. In 1953 they moved off the farm into Main Centre where they lived until 1984 when they moved to Herbert. Timothy and Paul were born at Main Centre. Elizabeth worked hard to provide for her family, having a big garden and a few chickens. She took great pride in the accomplishments of her children and loved them regardless of abilities. Mary and Ruth became teachers like her brother, Bill. A genetic mental handicap affected all three sons. When the Saskatchewan Association for Retarded Children, now known as Association for Community Living, was established in Herbert, Elizabeth worked hard to start a special class for the mentally handicapped in Herbert with Mrs. Norma McWilliam as the teacher. When David and Daniel became too old for the class they were transported to Swift Current to work at the Southwest Abilities Centre where they are still employed. Since 2000 they have been living in a privately approved home with Ernie and Elizabeth Jansen in Swift Current. Paul had additional health problems and in 1974 he became a resident of Valleyview Centre in Moose Jaw, which is still his home. Elizabeth enjoyed reading, doing word puzzles and crocheting, making many pairs of potholders. Elizabeth’s health was not always strong, especially having problems with her heart. In 1999 after several times in the hospital, it became obvious that she could not carry the entire household workload. David started to do most of the cooking and Home Care came in to help with the laundry, cleaning and personal care. In January of 2003 she moved into the Herbert Nursing Home. On September 9, after a brief illness, Elizabeth, very peacefully went to be with her Lord and Saviour. The Funeral Service was held on Saturday, September 13, 2003 at the Herbert M.B. Church with Pastor Bob Cappelle officiating. The organist was Maryann Voth and the pianist was Elsie Peterson. The ushers were, Ed Andres and Greg Siemens.

BEISEL - Mr. Roland Norman, aged 77, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2003 at the Swift Current Regional Hospital. Roland was born on May 29, 1926, at Beaver Flat as the youngest child of Andrew and Molly Beisel. He grew up on a farm in the Beaver Flat District North of Waldeck, SK. He attended the Beaver Flat School until he became a full time farmer. On October 8, 1950, he married Adalene Gerlach. They were blessed with three children: Karen, Barry and Kathy. A celebration of Roland’s life was held at the Eastside Church of God on Tuesday, September 9, 2003 with pastor Ed Hyatt officiating. Pam Schwartz and a worship team provided special music. Pallbearers were: Jeremy Reimer, Garnet Olson, David Raynard, Barclay Tanner, Ed Beisel and Darold Beisel. Honorary pallbearers were: Paul and Helen Klippenstein, John and Anne Friesen, Norman and Joyce Gader, and Harry and Anne Holderbein. A tribute was given by granddaughters, Tara Tanner and Renee Olson. The interment was held at Hillcrest Cemetery, Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Roland was predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Molly; brothers, Harry, Alvin and Wilbert; sisters, Edna Klein and Helen Petersen. He is survived by his loving wife and companion, Adalene; three children, Karen (Jerry) Reimer, Barry (Gladys) Beisel and Kathy (Tom) Johnson; six grandchildren; two great-granddaughters; two brothers, Oliver (Agnes) and Clarence; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Roland farmed for many years in the Waldeck area, and once he retired, he still came out to help his children when they needed him. He was always willing to give the help and support his family needed. Roland was a man of many gifts. He was always building houses or remodeling them. Roland and Adalene spent 15 years holidaying in Arizona for the winter. Here they spent many hours shopping at flea markets, playing games and visiting. Roland and Adalene moved to Swift Current in 1996 where Roland proceeded to completely remodel and enlarge their home. Roland enjoyed fishing, carpentry, going for coffee with their friends, and oil painting on cream cans, saw blades and anything else he could find. Roland was a vibrant, lively man with a keen sense of humor (which was maintained even in time of trouble). He loved to play board games with his family and he took great pride in usually defeating his grandchildren at a game of penny. Every summer Roland and Adalene had their camper packed and ready to camp with their family anywhere from the West coast to Manitoba, as well as partaking in tours of various parts of the country. Roland’s love for his family and God never wavered. He served for many years as a church board member, and the pastors and their families were always the family’s close friends. He was always supportive to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren – they were his greatest joy. He presented a godly example and mentor for his family and friends. Our lives are so much richer because he was a part of our lives, and our greatest comfort is knowing that he is now in Jesus’ arms. Memorial donations may be made to Gideon’s International. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Parkside Memorial Funeral Home, Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
