Mama taught school in Dauphin upon getting her teacher’s degree. She taught at Whitmore School for 20 years. Later she moved to Yorkton making her home there. Mama was loved by everyone and had lots of friends. Mama always made time for her great and great great grandchildren. Daily calls to her daughter Terrilene asking how everyone was doing.
Mama will be missed by all who knew her. Mama loved to go to Bingo, then later she gave up on Bingo and dedicated her life to the Lord. Her health slowly took a toll on her being in hospital several times. Calling her daughter to come to Yorkton as she wasn’t feeling the best.
The family takes comfort in knowing that Mama is in Heaven with all her relatives that went on before her.
Arrengments entrusted to Bailey's Funeral Home.
