Lucy passed away on March 2, 2016 at the age of 90. She was predeceased by her husband Albert, her parents and all her siblings. Left to cherish her memory are her children Heather (Ernie) and Jim (Sandy), her grandchildren Sheena, Grant and Andrea (Rob), her great-grandchildren, Alliam, Justus, Bridgette and Kyla, Ernie’s daughters Siobhan (Larry) and their son Reed, Shirley and her son Spencer and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mom was born in Webb, SK and was raised in Swift Current. After she completed Grade 12, she attended Balfour Collegiate in Regina to take a secretarial course. She then went on to work for the Saskatchewan Government with the Department of Highways at the Legislative Buildings in Regina. It was during that time that she met Albert, a brother of one of her roommates at the boarding house where she stayed. They were married in January of 1950, and Lucy moved to Lemberg where she and Albert shared 50 years together. Albert passed away May, 2000.

Lucy was a city girl and often said it was difficult to adapt to her new life in the country environment; however, she soon made friends, and Elsie Pekrul was one of the first to welcome her to the community. Lucy joined the church, the bridge club and the curling club, she was a 4-H leader, and she worked at the Red and White and for the various doctors who came to town. She even had some fun when she and Albert joined the square dancing club. Summer found her particularly busy with two children to raise, a huge garden to weed and harvest, flowers to grow and acres of grass to cut, all while Albert was away at the farm.

Lucy was particularly talented and took every class that came to town. She excelled at knitting, crocheting, embroidery, tatting, sewing and liquid embroidery, but then there was macrame & copper tooling! She was a wonderful cook, and being from an English background, mastered the German way of cooking like only someone with great determination can. After Albert retired from farming, Lucy still loved taking meals out to the field for the “boys” at the farm.

Lucy was proud of her children, but her greatest pride was her grandchildren, and they would spend many summer days at the farm.

The last couple of years were very hard for Lucy, as it only can be when someone slowly loses their independence. She fought hard and stayed as positive as possible until the end.

We will miss you!
