Obituary for Wilbert Harold Waldherr

Wilbert Harold  Waldherr
Wilbert Harold Waldherr of Churchbridge, SK, husband of Marvis Waldherr. It is with great sadness that we share the news of Wilbert’s passing on Friday, February 24, 2017 at St. Paul Lutheran Home in Melville, SK. Wilbert passed peacefully during the night with family at his side at the age of 81, after spending 17 months in the nursing home.

Wilbert was born in a log house in Ebenezer, SK on August 17, 1935 to Steve and Natalie Waldherr. The Waldherrs soon moved to a farm south of Ebenezer. Wilbert attended Bryntarian School (near Ebenezer) until the age of 15 when the family moved to the Beresina district north of Churchbridge. Wilbert farmed there until his move to the nursing home in 2015. Wilbert and Marvis were married in 1962, and had two sons and two daughters.

Wilbert enjoyed many hobbies including farm and car collectibles, restoring antique Fords and classic Mustangs, and restoring antique telephones. He enjoyed flying and welding, and patented and sold an earth mover implement. Wilbert and Marvis moved to their acreage at Churchbridge in 2000 where he continued to enjoy his hobbies in his large shop.

One humorous memory involves working in the field with his brother, Vern. An army surplus jeep was the only “tractor” the family had at that time. As neither boy was tall enough to drive independently, Wilbert worked the gears and pedals while Vern steered the jeep. As the train tracks ran next to the field the boys provided great entertainment for the rail workers maintaining the tracks. This same jeep was washed up to drive to church on Sundays.

Wilbert leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 55 years, Marvis; their children Brian (Colleen) Waldherr and their children Kevin, Amanda and Bradley; Ken Waldherr; Laura (Don) Coleman and their children Luke, Blake and Tala; and Carol (Mark) Dilsner and their children Kaitlyn and Ian; his brother, Vern Waldherr of Saskatoon; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Wilbert is predeceased by his parents Natalie and Steve Waldherr, sister Leona Stanoffsky and brother Lynn Waldherr.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Bethany Way at St. Paul Lutheran Home, for their care and attention to Wilbert.
