Marie was born in Winnipeg, Man. to John and Nellie (nee Kushniruk) Rauliuk. Her family soon moved to the Goldenvale district in the Sheho/Insinger area. During her early years, she attended Oleksince School and worked with her parents by helping with the younger children and assisting the parents with the operation of their Goldenvale Post Office outlet and grocery store and on the family farm. During those school years, she met and started her lifetime relationship with George Wilson. They decided they would begin a life together and moved to Red Deer, Alta., where Marie was employed as a waitress and George had his trucking business. They were married there on May 21, 1949. Shortly after their marriage, George and Marie moved back to Saskatchewan and purchased their own farmland near Tiny to raise their family. George continued with the operation of the trucking business along with farming and mink ranching with Marie's active participation in the daily activities of the farm and hauling. Their business grew into road construction and with their young son, Ron, they moved to the Village of Buchanan where their family grew to include Cindy, Dean and Corey. They continued expansions in highway construction with the development of G.W. Construction, which they continue to operate to this date. In 2002, they purchased a second residence in Martensville, Sask., though they frequently returned to their Buchanan residence and always fondly called it "home". Marie loved gardening and her flowers. She also enjoyed travelling with George to many different places. Marie supported her community and volunteered her time and knowledge by sitting on the Buchanan local school board, the Sask. Housing Authority board, the Buchanan Club 50 board, the Buchanan Co-op local board, the Buchanan Recreation board, Buchanan Minor Sports, the Buchanan Ladies' Curling Club, the UCW Ladies' Aid Group, the Buchanan United Church board and contributed to the Faith Lutheran Women's group projects and numerous other associations over the years and strongly believed in supporting the businesses in Buchanan. Marie is lovingly remembered by her husband George; her three sons, Ron (Laurie), Dean (Lori) and Corey; her daughter Cindy; her three brothers, Bill (Starr) Rauliuk, Peter (Vivian) Rauliuk and Very Rev. Crest (Jeannette) Rauliuk; her sister Iris (Tyrone) Klewchuk; her five grandchildren, Sean, Cara, Megan, Devin and Danielle (Joey MacDonald); her two great-grandchildren, Sadia and Jaxon. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Nellie (nee Kushniruk) Rauliuk and her sister Elsie Propp. Funeral service was held on Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 2 p.m. at the chapel of Leson's Funeral Home, Canora, Sask. with Rev. Kim Sherwin of the Faith Evangelical Church officiating. Interment followed in the Canora Cemetery.
