FRIZZELL - Ronald Howard age 73, of Strasbourg, died October 8, 2007 after a short battle with cancer. Ron, affectionately "Lefty" to some, "Grandpa" to others, had a zest for life and his fun-loving nature and sense of humour will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Born to the late Howard and Janet Frizzell June 10, 1934, Ron had 2 siblings, Edith (John) Klemp and Harvey (Shirley). Ron graduated from high school in Strasbourg after moving in 1944 to what was to become the family farm. After attending the School of Agriculture in Saskatoon, he moved to work near Peace River and then to Dawson Creek, to work as a logger, a passion that would last a lifetime. He worked up the Alaska highway cutting the right of way for the PGE railway. Upon his return to the Strasbourg area he spent his life farming but continued to trim a tree for anyone, any chance he got. Many a tree in the area has seen the marks of Ron's chainsaw. In 1957 Ron married Marjorie Schulz and together they had 3 children, Garth (Linda), Glenna (Len Cantin) and Scott (Rhonda). After Marjorie passed away in 1970 from cancer, Ron married Shirley Falloon and she and her daughter Kelly (Brendan Stevens) became part of the family. Their lives took separate paths a number of years ago but he and Shirley continued to remain good friends. Ron and Marlene Verdes were partners for six years before they got married in September 2007. They lived in the town of Strasbourg. Here he could be close to the grandchildren he loved so dearly. Marjorie & her husband Landon Mohr, Janelle, Riley, Jesse, Jayce, Shaye and Jakaeden held a special place in Grampa's heart. Active in the community, he spent many years coaching ball and hockey and continued to enjoy watching his grandchildren play and his sons take his coaching role. Ron took pride in his involvement in the building of the Strasbourg & Community Rec Centre as he sat on the Rink Board during the construction years. Ron loved life and the outdoors. Memories of camping trips and travel are held dear by his family. Many a special occasion was graced with a poem written and recited by Ron. We remember those fondly. `Love, hope, rain and care. And the most important of these, my friend, is rain.' We carry your love always. A graveside memorial service will be held on Friday October 12, 2007 at 1 PM in Crescent Road Cemetery, Strasbourg.

MCRAE - Hertha Louise (nee Schwandt) Nov. 25, 1913 - July 19, 2008 Mom passed away at RUH, Saskatoon on Saturday after suddenly taking ill on Thursday evening. Mom was born on the family farm to W.L. and Louise Schwandt in the Strasbourg area. She was raised on the farm with her four brothers and was involved in all of the farming operations, from working in the gardens and milking cows with her mother to custom hauling grain with her own team at 12 years of age. After her grade 12 in Strasbourg, she attended teacher's college (Normal School) in Regina. At 18 she became the teacher (and custodian, etc.) at a one room country school in the Duval area, with some of the students being only slightly younger than her. Mom taught for several years in the Strasbourg area and attended for a summer the now famous Kenderine Art School at Emma Lake. In 1939 became the schoolmarm in the hamlet of Talmage in Weyburn area. Here she met the local storekeeper, our Dad, and fell in love. They were married in 1941 and then had their family of three boys. Mom was very involved in everything in the community, from raising a family, working in the store, to being active in church, community clubs and sports that prevailed in rural areas in the 1940s and 50s. In 1957 Mom returned to teaching in the new Talmage Centralized School where she later became principal. She was now teaching her second generation of Talmage students. In 1966 after rural depopulation forced the closure of the school and town, Mom and Dad moved to Weyburn and Mom taught in Haig School until her retirement. Again Mom was actively involved in the community. By now Mom and Dad were empty nesters so their home now was host to sons and wives, grandkids, siblings, nephews and nieces and more for family gatherings. Mom and Dad also took this opportunity to travel to family and friends and to exotic and warm locales. Over the years Mom visited all 10 provinces, most of the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii), The UK, Western Europe, Middle East, cruised the Mediterranean and vacationed on several Caribbean Islands. In 1987 after Dad's passing in 1985, Mom moved to Saskatoon to be an original tenant of Hector Trout Manor. This now became the new centre for the family with Mom also hosting old friends from Weyburn and other areas. Mom also started a new chapter in her life with all the activities available in Saskatoon and all of the new friends and social activities at The Manor. Life was never dull. One of the first things the family had to buy her was an answering machine as she was so seldom home. Mom was fortunate to have good health and wonderful friends and sister-in-law which allowed her to maintain independent living and an active life right up to her passing. Mom was a strong role model and positive influence to many students but those that felt it the most were her kids and grandkids. To sum up Mom would be two quotes from two of her grandchildren when they were little How come Gramma never complains about anything? She just likes everything and Gramma, it there anything you can't do? Mom was predeceased by her parents, her husband Clarence (1985), her brothers Art, Ted, Fred, Hal and sister in law Grace Swan and all of her McRae brothers in law and sisters in law. She is survived by her sisters in law Marie Schwandt, Hazel Swan, and Wanda Swan as well as many nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed but her memory dearly cherished by her family Roger (Sheila), Douglas (Valda), Stuart (Lois) and grandchildren Amber (Mark), Ryan (Jenny), Devin, Neeve, Darrell (Amanda), Catharine, Meghan, step grandson Jeff (Tammy) and five great grand children. A private family service will be held in Saskatoon. Mom's cremated remains will be interred beside Dad after a memorial service in Weyburn at Grace United Church Hall at 1:00 pm. Sat., July 26.

Doris tended a large garden and a beautiful yard with flowers and shrubs and fruit trees. In 1968 they took a holiday with their friends and neighbours, Norm and Lois Woodburn to England and Scotland, where they visited all the relatives from the old country. Doris corresponded with these family members until the present time. Joe and Doris retired from the farm in 1978 to Central Butte. They enjoyed their large house and hosted numerous family gatherings and visitors. Retirement gave them time for card playing and community involvement. Doris was active in the community in many organizations. She served as secretary of Lawson United Church Board and was a member of the Lawson U.C.W. Joe and Doris joined the Central Butte Seniors Club and it was their honor to cut the ribbon for the official opening of the new Seniors’ Centre in 1989. Joe and Doris moved to a smaller house in Central Butte to accommodate Joe’s mobility. Again the yard was clipped and adorned with flowers and trees. In 1991 Joe passed away leaving Doris to spend a few more years in their home alone. Doris read, spent hours taping music from the radio, tended her flowers and garden and visited with her neighbours and family. She watched the news everyday and avidly followed the politics of Saskatchewan and Canada. In 2005 Doris moved into Iver Main Place as one of the first residents. She enjoyed many friendships there including other residents and staff. She kept busy reading and listening to music and visiting. She wrote poetry and had a poem published by Poetry Institute of Canada as well as having stories published in “The Senior” newspaper. In September 2007 Doris was hospitalized and moved into Regency Manor for further care. As her health weakened her mobility, her mind remained sharp and her days were best spent visiting. On March 1st, 2008 Doris celebrated her 96th birthday. Doris was visited by friends and family and staff from Regency Manor throughout the day. Her journey was near the end. It had been a life well lived.

SMALL - Bruce Clarke 1919 - 2007 The Book of Small Dad said I'm ready to meet my Maker, and they meet on Saturday January 27, 2007. We don't know how the meeting went. Dad could be quite opinionated. He was also the most gentle and generous of men. Bruce was a born caregiver and he always put others before himself a tiny flaw perhaps, but in his small way he was huge. He made the world a better and more interesting place. He had his opinions, however the world according to Bruce and traveling Dad's path of life was always a provocative experience. Throughout, he never stopped making us laugh. We all love you, Dad. Bruce was the son of Lester Meredith Small and Eva May Mapes of Strasbourg. His father ran the printing shop and newspaper, The Strasbourg Mountaineer, the organ of the valley east of Long Lake. He had a brother, Jack, and two sisters, Lois and Margaret. The family moved from Strasbourg to Regina in 1929 at the beginning of the Depression, when Bruce was 10 years old. He attended Central Collegiate and met the love of his life, Mabel Steen, when he stopped to pick up a slipper she had dropped. True to his nature, he was always helping people, both in small ways and large. Bruce married Mabel at the Knox United Church in Regina, June 6, 1942 He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force on the east coast during WWII as a radar technician. At the end of the war the Smalls moved to Saskatoon, where Bruce completed his degree in pharmacy. After graduation, Bruce opened Small's Pharmacy in Regina. Mabel and Bruce had one son, Bryan, born in 1947. In 1950, the Smalls moved to Toronto. Bruce worked for the very first Shoppers Drug Mart in Don Mills. He often worked two jobs to provide a good life for his wife and son, and he always put the well-being of others before himself. The Smalls moved to Vancouver in 1967, but when Mabel died in 1997, Bruce wanted to return to the places he loved best Strasbourg and Regina. Bruce lived in the Frontenac Apartments on Lorne Street, where he had delivered newspapers as a boy. In 2003, with his son Bryan, he bought the original Small family home in Strasbourg and the home where Bruce had been born. Bruce spent the last week of his life with his loved ones in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Regina General Hospital. The nurses and doctors there were as kind and caring as Bruce had been, and they made his last days in this world as pleasant as possible. Just as Bruce had done all his life, wherever and whenever he was needed.

He was then cared for by the staff and doctors at St. Paul's Hospital in Saskatoon. He was moved to Parkridge Centre in 1994 where he lived and was lovingly supported for twelve years. Despite the many hardships he endured because of this disease Allan maintained a positive outlook. Anyone who entered his room was greeted with a smile and a funny joke or story usually followed close behind. Allan loved the simple things, a good movie, any kind of food, especially chocolate cake, a great cup of coffee, all kinds of music, fishing, curling, golfing, a good party and especially a good argument. Allan maintained his faith and often looked to God for direction. Through the years Allan enjoyed many good relationships with health care staff, family, friends, and fellow residents.
