Obituary of Leotha Marilyn Yanke

It is with heart felt sadness we announce the passing of our Mother, Leotha Yanke. Mom lived a full life, a life devoted to her Family and her Faith . Mom was born just before the depression the eighth of eleven children. She grew up on the Saskatchewan prairies where she remained until she passed. In 1951 Leotha married John and they moved to Churchbridge where together they raised four children. Dad passed away in 1990. Churchbridge had been home for the biggest part of Mom’s life but in early 2000 she “retired” to Yorkton. In Yorkton she met new friends and found a new church family at Heritage Baptist Church. Mom had many friends old and new, nieces and nephews who loved her, visited her and enriched her life. We would like to thank everyone that has reached out with condolences. It would have meant so much to Mom as it does to each of us. Mom’s death marks the end of a family era. She was the last surviving sibling in her family. Mom passed away peacefully on March 31st, 2022 in her 98th year. She is survived by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her dearly.
