Howard Lockhart
(Born Oct. 17, 1921 - March 6, 2009)
LOCKHART - The passing of Howard Lockhart, age 87 years, of Stoughton, Saskatchewan, occurred at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, on March 6, 2009.
Howard Edwin Lockhart was the son of Lewis Moore Lockhart and Ida Adelaide Lockhart, nee Woodbury, formerly of Griffin, Saskatchewan.
Howard was predeceased by his sisters Edna and Irene, his brothers Fred and Earl and his daughter, Linda May.
He is survived by his son, James (Jim) Lewis Lockhart of Claresholm, Alberta; Jim’s wife Diane; their children: Michael (Mike) Lockhart and Danielle Aimee Slettede; and by two great-grandsons, Joel James and Karsen Slettede.
Howard will be fondly remembered by them; by his friends from the Weyburn, Griffin, Stoughton and Arcola districts; by those nieces and nephews and other family members who knew him and by his very dear friend and caregiver, Claire Hall, of Stoughton.
Claire’s caring and enduring friendship were of special importance to Howard and all family members offer their gratitude and heartfelt condolences to her.
Howard lived and farmed in the Weyburn district for many years.
He then moved to Stoughton to be near his daughter, residing there until his passing.
A defining moment of Howard’s life was his enlistment for overseas military service.
He was wounded after spending an uninterrupted year on the frontline in Italy, and was forced to return to home before the war ended, but not before he and his fellow soldiers had played a vital role in the campaign which led to the liberation of that country during W.W. II.
Funeral services will be held in Grace United Church, Stoughton, Saskatchewan on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. with Deborah Laforet officiant.
Friends and family are invited to a luncheon in the Stoughton Legion Hall immediately following the service.
Interment of cremated remains in the Griffin Municipal Cemetery will follow the luncheon.
In lieu of flowers, those so wishing may make donations to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary, Estevan, in Howard’s memory.
The family is being assisted by Hall Funeral Services, Estevan (634-8233).
