Obituary of Theresa Mary Broda

Theresa Mary Broda of Melville, Saskatchewan wife of the late Joe Broda. It is with great sadness that we share the news of Theresa's passing peacefully on Sunday, January 15, 2017 at St. Peter's Hospital at age 86 following a brief illness. Born and raised in the Grayson area, Theresa attended Flegel School. On November 9, 1948, Theresa married the love of her life Joe and they started farming in the Killaly area. In 1955 they moved to Melville where Theresa continued to raise her 6 children and began working at the Melville Hospital. In the early 60's Theresa and the family worked at clearing a lot and building a cottage at Crooked Lake which became the hub of activity for the family. An avid golfer, Joe and Theresa were longtime members of the Last Oak Golf Course. She took a great deal of pride in her family and enjoyed many celebrations and family gatherings at their cottage over the years. Theresa was very active in her grandchildren's lives, whether it was a dance recital, figure skating, a hockey game or a baseball game, Theresa loved to be there. Over her lifetime, "Mother Theresa" was our caretaker. Whether it was the annual event of canning, perogies and cabbage rolls, or her famous butter rolls, everything she did was full of love for her family. She enjoyed watching her favorite sports teams, whether it was the Bluejays or the most recent curling competition. Theresa will be dearly missed by her loved ones and friends who celebrate the fact she is at peace with her creator.
