Canora Courier, January 16, 2008 Page 12 – In memoriam:

In loving memory of my dear husband Edgar.

Seven long years have passed

Since you left us, but memories of you stay in our hearts.

So many things remind us of you and all the things we used to do.

Your friendly smile will always be remembered by your family.

-Mary, Betty Ann & Gary Maxine & Kenn, grandchildren Amy (Dave) Geoffrey & Andrew (Amanda), great-grandchildren Matthew, Marlie & Logan.

OLSON: In loving memory of my husband, Dick Olson, who passed away on January 16, 2002.

Time speeds on, six years are gone.

I remember the day I met you,

The day God made you mine.

I remember the day God took you, and will until the end of time.

It's sad to walk the road alone, instead of side by side.

But to all comes a moment, when the paths of life divide.

You gave me years of happiness,

What precious memories you left behind,

I will treasure through the years.

Treasure him God in your garden of rest.

For in my world he was one of the best.

-Love as always, Elaine.

SHCHYSCHUK: In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather and brother, Laddie, who passed away January 16, 2006.

His charming ways and smiling face,

Are a pleasure to recall; He had a kindly word for each,

And died beloved by all.

-Your loving family, Barbara, Chrissy, Anna and Peter.

WILGOSH: Ann Wilgosh of Yorkton and formerly of Canora passed away suddenly at her residence on January 8th, 2008 at the age of 89 years.

Ann was born on April 2nd, 1918 in the Theodore District to John and Mary (nee Kolibaba) Gresco. As a young girl she attended the Deer Creek School near Sheho, SK and upon completion of her studies, Ann left Sheho in 1933. She held several various types of employment. Ann's first employers were Bill and Laura Manahan who operated a dairy farm for Dunlop. From there, she moved to Yorkton, SK where she was employed at the former Yorkton Union Hospital for four years. At the Yorkton Hospital, Ann's first duties were in the dietary department of the kitchen. Later, she worked as a nurse's aid.

From Yorkton, Ann moved to St. Catherines, ON for two years where she was employed at St. Catherines Steel. This was during the Second World War and St. Catherines Steel was a plant which manufactured ammunition for anti-aircrafts. However, the plant closed down, but once again, Ann found employment in St. Catherines at the New Method Dry­Cleaners. She worked there as a pleat and silk finisher for two years. In May of 1944, Ann decided to return to the prairies.

On November 3rd, 1944, she married her long-time sweetheart, Joseph Woroshelo of Sheho, SK. Together they farmed in the Sheho area for thirty-two years. During their time together, Ann enjoyed many hobbies including gardening, skating, dancing and painting. She also was accomplished dress-maker for many years. In 1976, Ann and Joseph retired and decided to move to Theodore, SK. They lived for three wonderful years in Theodore until Joseph became ill and passed away on January 30th, 1980.

On September 18th, 1982, Ann was re-married to Mike Wilgosh of Canora, SK. Ann loved to be with people. She enjoyed the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Canora of which she was a member of the C. W. L. until her time of passing. She also was a great help to Mike with running the Gateway Motel in Canora until his passing in 1995. Ann continued to operate the motel until she sold the business relocating to Yorkton.
