DILLON - Edith Mildred (nee Boyd) born October 31, 1906 in Lyleton, Man. Passed away peacefully February 23, 2003. Predeceased in 1962 by her husband Jim Dillon and also, more recently, by her much-loved sister-in-law, Mrs. Peggy Boyd. She is survived by her dear brother, Austin "Bud" Boyd, son James (Noela), daughter Elsie Newson, grandchildren Patty Newson and Chuck Newson, niece Marg Gordon (John) and their children Haley, Joel and Brian Gordon, as well as her devoted friend Mrs. Darlene Hodgson (Weinbender). Mildred Dillon was an agreeable and engaging woman whose optimism was matched only by her tenacity. Living at home until after her 96th birthday, she liked nothing more than good conversation, good stories, and a good read. Many thanks to the special "homecare ladies", home nurses and administrators of Regina Home Care, Meals on Wheels friends, Regina Library delivery, neighbours of Sacred Heart Manor, and all who contributed to her living at home to such a fine old age. We would also like to remember the professionalism and kindness of the staff of Pasqua Hospital Ward 4A, the William Booth Special Care Home and Elmview Extendicare. Growing up with her brother in Duval, where their father ran the General Store and her mother was an avid seamstress, she remembered a happy childhood of teas, country socials and exotic Christmas treats such as oranges which came on the train. She had a life-long love of figure skating, which her dad had a talent for. Mildred became a teacher and displayed an adventurous streak, getting her first airplane ride in the early 1920's. She wanted to see the world, and had a go of it in her eighties, travelling to Australia and taking several trips with her grandchildren. She met her husband, Jim, a "tall, handsome Irishman", while boarding in Regina, and they were married in 1928 enjoying a year of prosperity before the Great Depression. A mechanic by trade, Jim worked for the wheat pool and all agree that there wasn't an engine he couldn't fix. They spent their entire married life in the area of Elphinstone and 5th and Mildred had strong memories of unthawing the water pump at 5th and Argyle. She spent many winters with her daughter and family in Victoria, and despite being widowed early, saw her son through law school. Her husband remained the love of her life and Mildred faithfully recounted what she knew of Jim's family, early years and their life together, so that the younger members of the family would know their history. With Mildred's passing, probably goes the last widow of a 1917 Halifax Explosion Veteran. Mildred arranged her Funeral Services herself, many years ago. They will, of course, be held at Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Ave., as Mr. Speers gave Jim his first Regina job. Funeral service will be held Saturday, March 1 at 3:00 p.m.

They took turns going out to work as hired help and that's where Jean met her future life-long farmer friend, John Theodore (Ted) Holman, whom she married January 14, 1937. Theirs was, in Jeanie's own words, "a good life " being blessed with three children: Marjorie Eileen, Mary June and Donald John. This prairie woman welcomed the challenges of farming including being able to operate the combine or being the first woman to haul a load of grain to the Duval Federal elevator. Her grandchildren made repeated requests for her home-baked buns and fried chicken. She fed the family, with some to spare for others, from a large vegetable garden. She loved to pick wild flowers and grow gladiolas and sunflowers. In her community she was known for her mentoring, strong Christian faith as revealed in a life-time of commitment to her Duval United Church having received a UCW Life Membership pin and her many years work on the Duval Cemetery committee. The Duval folk could always count on her for a listening ear. She and her sports-minded buddy Ted were known to be keen fishing and hunting enthusiasts. Jeanie was indeed a "Shaker", yes, both as a collector of 1800 sets of salt and pepper shakers and as a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, church and community worker and an early days feminist. The time came when reluctantly the Holmans moved to the town of Strasbourg keeping yet a foot on the heritage farm. Quickly there was the passing of husband Ted on October 18, 1987 after 50 years of marriage, and of late, the very sudden death of son Donald on March 18, 2001. Time as a widow was well spent with travel to visit family, a long awaited venture to see heritage homeland Glasgow, Scotland, and at least two Alaskan cruises. She and sister Margaret (McKenzie) McClughan now had time to share many outings. After Jean's stroke she resided for three years at the Last Mountain Pioneer Home, Strasbourg. It was here Jean's unexpected humour surfaced as long time Duval acquaintances reminisced about the good old days. Jean was happy there and felt very blessed to have such loving care from the staff. She was predeceased by her parents, sister Mary and brothers John (Jack), William (Bill) and James (Jim). Jean leaves behind to continue to laugh together, to celebrate her life and to try to eliminate her 1800 salt and pepper shakers, daughtersMarjorie (Art Cross) and June (Jerry Feltham); daughter-in-law Shirley (Donald Holman-deceased 2001); grandchildren Brent Cross (Lisa Butel), Vaughn (Linda) Cross, Daneen (Carmen) Wintonyk, Tracy (Darrell) Fortune, Shari (Scott) Alexander, Sandra Feltham (Peter Nagati), Denise (Tom) Wark and Tanya Holman; great grandchildrenColby and Cassidy Cross; Sasha, Bethany and Kendra Wintonyk; Shawnie and Brittney Fortune; Kaila Nagati; T J (Thomas John), Tyson and True Wark; sisterMargaret McClughan; sister-in lawMable McKenzie and numerous nieces and nephews. A service to celebrate Jean's life will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2004 at the Strasbourg United Church at 10 a.m. with Rev. Manasse Habonimana officiating. Internment in Crescent Cemetery, Strasbourg. The love and wisdom this truly beautiful woman shared will linger long in our hearts and sustain us. The web she wove connecting her family will not be destroyed by death. Precious memories of her life will be found in her autobiography, "She Was A Shaker ", written in 1996. Thanks Jeanie.

Robert Lawson York (Bob) was born on May 10, 1919 near the hamlet of Cymric SK to Maria (Koch) and John George Youck. Even as a preschooler Bob was an independent spirit exploring nature and riding horses. He began school in Govan and continued at Edelaue country school when the family moved near Strasbourg SK Bob came of age during the depression. There was no money to cover his continued education and so Bob worked a variety of jobs across Western Canada picking fruit in B.C., lumber-camping in Northern Alberta, and working as a ranch hand in Manitoba and Southern Alberta, where he worked with the Calgary Stampede in 1936. In 1941 while working for Neil Motors in Regina, Bob volunteered for active military service and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. He trained at Dundurn and in England and was attached to First Canadian Army Overseas Headquarters. Bob saw active service in England, Belgium, Holland and France, and occupation service in Germany. Bob had a strong sense of duty to his family. After the war ended he turned down an offer of an officer's commission, further education and a base in his favourite city of London, England to return to Canada, as his mother had died and he was needed back home to raise his younger brothers and sister. Bob began farming in the Duval district in 1946, and in 1952, once his siblings were on their own; he courted a beautiful young lady who was teaching in Strasbourg. Bob married Floreen Eiswerth in her hometown of Young on July 11, 1953. Bob was a man of integrity, honour and duty, with a phenomenal spiritual and physical strength, an interest in people and an insatiable curiosity. He believed in hard work, life long learning, and good fun. He was generous, sensitive, opinionated, compassionate, loyal and very loving. He loved to read and to travel. He enjoyed playing baseball and golf and followed the Riders for many decades. Bob respected tradition while being pragmatic and making his own path. He could fix just about anything, design by eye and build what was needed with just the materials and tools at hand. He re-used and re-cycled long before it became trendy. Bob could witch for water and was an excellent cook. He believed in higher education and supported Floreen's career and graduate studies at the University of Missouri. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren and supported their education and careers. Bob lived to see his granddaughters move into their careers of architecture and law, and danced late into the night at both of their weddings. He was thrilled with his young grandsons, both of whom carry his names. Within the span of a few short weeks we celebrated Bob's 90th Birthday and the Baptism of his newest grandson at the family farm, and the Wedding of his youngest granddaughter in Regina. He had all of his family with him as he then faced a short illness and hospitalization. Dad we love you and are honoured to have been your children and grandchildren. We will miss your singing, your dancing to the Big Bands, the greatness of a man who never lost the little boy in him, your strong warm hands, your powerful hugs, and your unique sense of humour. We will think of you each time we savor a glass of good scotch, dance to Glenn Miller or hear Lili Marlane. You will be with us in every corner of the farm retreat you created for your family's enjoyment. Carry on Soldier.
