Mary Theresia Mott

On Saturday, April 26, 2008, Mary Theresia Mott, late of Creelman, passed away at the age of 85 years. Predeceased by her parents, Karl and Maria Poellhuber; her husband, Don and their son Charlie. Mary is survived by her loving children: (Jane) of Flin Flon, MB; Louisa (Bob) Helgason of Elrose; Eliford (Karen) of Creelman; and Diana (Pat) Hume of Regina; grandchildren: Rob (Sierra), Brad (Jill), Sean (Shea), Simone, Tina (Steven), Josh (Marcy), Jenny (Curtis), Becky, Tracy (Dean), Kirk (Karen) and Nadine; 20 great grandchildren; one brother, Charles (Stella) of Montreal, PQ; sister-in-law, Laverne Mott of Regina; brother-in-law, Cecil Cameron of Weyburn; and many nieces and nephews. Mary Theresia Poellhuber was born January 7, 1923 in Sierning, Austria. At 7 she and her family immigrated to Charleswood, Manitoba, near Winnipeg, MB. As a young woman she became a hairdresser and opened a shop in Winnipeg. She made a fateful decision to take dancing lessons at the Arthur Murray School of Dance. There she met a young Air Force Flight Sergeant named Don Mott who came from a small town in Saskatchewan. In July of 1947 Don and Mary were married and made their home on the farm near Creelman. In 1955 they built a house on the west side of Creelman. Their property included a large pasture for Don to raise Angus cattle and a large garden for Mary to raise vegetables. Her life revolved around Don and their four children. She loved the farm life. Volumes could be written about all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was very proud of each of them. Like all Creelmanites Mary was heavily involved with the community as long as her health permitted. She was involved with the Hartavon Homemakers and with 4-H grain, beef and sewing clubs; she helped with the bonspiel, the fair, and the Creelman plays. She threw herself in to each group, whether it was the Catholic Women's League, or teaching catechism. She became especially involved with the Creelman Ceramic Club. She loved sharing what she knew but she also loved learning. She took the Catholic Lay Ministry course with heart and soul. Notebooks are filled with homilies or sayings that touched her or that might touch someone else, and prayers for her guidance. She could be counted on for anyone needing a ride, or to lend an ear to listen. She delivered comfort and God's word to those in the very facility where she spent the last months of her life. When Don began to fail she allowed her world to become the size of his world. She would be the first to say how special and meaningful those years were to them both. It was difficult for her to deal with Don's death in 2002 after spending 55 years together in a model marriage. The following year her eldest son, Charlie passed away suddenly from cancer. Through both of these tragedies her faith in her Lord and Savior remained unswerving and she strived to accept His will. In 2005, Mary developed Parkinson's. Combined with Alzheimer's and diabetes she began a downward spiral that caused her much pain and sorrow in her last few months. We believe that her Lord heard her constant prayer and has indeed taken her home. Prayer service was held Thursday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m. Funeral service was held Tuesday, May 2, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Aloysius Catholic Church with Fr. Joseph Infante officiating. Interment followed in Golden Gates Cemetery, Creelman. Pallbearers were all Mary's grandchildren. Donations may be made in her memory to a charity of the donor's choice. Arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn. (842-5432).

Lorraine Audrey Towne

On April 30, 2008 Lorraine Audrey Towne peacefully slipped away at Tatagwa View after waging a courageous battle with cancer. Lorraine was born on January 6, 1927 on her grandparents farm in the Midale district. Shortly after birth it was learned that she was visually impaired and after many unsuccessful operations inevitably she became blind. She accepted the fact that her life would be a challenge and embraced it. She attended the Ontario School for the Blind located at Brantford, ON. Lorraine travelled by train to the school in the early fall and remained for a full term each year. While at school she learned life skills and how to be independent in a sighted world. She also learned how to read and write in Braille. She lived in Halbrite most of her life until, upon her parent's passing she took the first step to live independently by taking an apartment at the Legion Towers in Weyburn. She lived there for 21 years. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and was an active member and through this association she gained many friends whom she considered family. Through the help of volunteers, Home Care, and friends she was able to lead a happy and productive life. Her hobbies were listening to talking books and music, crocheting, studying her bible, and chatting on the phone with friends. The phone was very important to her as she used this to keep involved in her friends' and families' lives. Lorraine was very interested in her community and the greater world around her. She had a genuine interest in other people, which made her a great friend to many. She had a good ear and lots of time to listen. She was a fan of old-time radio and enjoyed listening to talk shows and soap operas. Because she liked to stay up until the early hours, she loved the radio talk show called 'Nightcaps'. Lorraine will be remembered for her exceptional organizational skills in both her personal and home life. Her personal appearance was of utmost importance to her and her apparel and accessories had to be co-ordinated. She was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Mabel Towne of Halbrite and brother Douglas Towne of Halbrite, brother-in-law, Douglas Lawson, Swift Current. She will be fondly remembered by her older sister, Arlyne (Mrs. Douglas Lawson) of Swift Current, and brother, Bryan Towne (Elizabeth Duncan) of Halbrite, niece, Tazma (Warren) Beach of Ernfold; and their children Dayton of Medicine Hat, AB, Brock of Oyen, AB and Palmer of Swift Current.

Peter Friedrichsen
(May 8, 1936-April 26, 2008)

On Saturday April 26, 2008, Peter passed away at Foothills Country Hospice, Okotoks, AB at the age of 71 years. He was predeceased by his parents Harke and Sophia Friedrichsen, son Grant Friedrichsen and many aunts and uncles in Germany. Peter will be lovingly remembered by his wife Faye (nee Matters) of 47 years of marriage, daughter-in-law Liz and grandchildren Natasha and Dirk, his daughter Cindy (Larry) Pickett grandchildren Meghan and Jordan, and his son Garry (Nancy), grandchildren Peter and Jack, his sister Karen (friend Peter), nephews Clause and Ralfe, sister Luise (Jurgen) nieces Gabi, Birgit and families, brother Johann (Siggy), and his many brothers and sisters-in-law and relatives in Canada. Peter was a journeyman cabinet maker who immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1957. Using his trade he worked his way across Canada. He met his wife Faye in Weyburn and were married in 1960 at a double wedding with Faye's twin sister Fern and Morris Hillstead with whom they shared many good times together. The majority of Peter's career was spent building many homes, businesses, hospitals, schools and churches in and around Weyburn. For the past 15 years he continued doing finishing carpentry in Calgary and finally in Ponoka, AB. He loved his trade and took great pride in building fine homes and quality furniture. He will be much remembered for sharing his expert advice and giving hands to help build homes and projects for people he cared for. Peter enjoyed his leisure activities of cottaging, camping and also traveling to some favorite destinations such as Germany, Mexico and Hawaii. In his spare time, he enjoyed staying abreast of news and world events, plus spectating many sporting activities. He even became a true Canadian and was a big fan of Hockey Night in Canada. Everyone loved Peter's sense of humor. He lived for laughing; often telling or taking in fun stories and jokes. Peter was fun-loving with his family, including his six grandchildren with whom he often shared his stories and humor. We will never forget his big smile and loud laughter that filled a room with happiness. We will miss him very much. A memorial service for Peter will be officiated by family friend Reverend Shane Sinclair at the Okotoks Snodgrass Funeral Home on Friday, May 9 at 2:00 p.m. To help those surviving him, Peter wanted to encourage donations for pancreatic cancer research to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society. Donations would also be greatly appreciated to support the operation of the much needed Foothills Country Hospice Society, P.O. Box 274, Okotoks, Alberta T1S 1A5.
