Just a prayer from us who love you,

A precious memory kind and true;

In our hearts you will live forever,

From which we will never part;

God has put you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

PASLOSKI: Annastazya (Nettie) Pasloski, April 15, 1913 - March 1, 2006.

A wonderful mother, woman and aid,

One who was better God never made;

A wonderful worker, loyal and fair,

Tenderly helpful, 0 mother you were.

Just in your judgement, always right,

Honest and loving, ever upright;

Loved by all, our pride they share,

Pride in the wonderful mother you were.

-Forever loved and missed, Elaine.

PASLOSKI: In loving memory of our dear mother and father, Annastazya (Nettie), April 15, 1913 - March 1, 2006; Walter, April 27, 1906 - April 12, 1980.

The blanket you left us is warm still,

Like your warm heart. Like family, that you fostered, that you loved.

The blanket you left us is brightly coloured still,

Like the vivid hues of seasons.

Like memories living still, through years and years...

The blanket you left us is woven tightly,

Like taut steel threads,

Like hands clasped tightly in prayer.

And this night, and every night

We are covered and warm and comforted still I,

And humbled is life's chill,

Through the passing of the years.

Through the drying of our tears.

Mom and Dad, we miss you so.

-Jeannette and Glen.

PINKERTON: Lillian May Pinkerton (nee Engemoen), 94. of Brooks, AB., and formerly of Canora, passed away with family members at her side at the Brooks Health Centre on February 14th, 2009.

Born May 16th, 1914, in Sunburst, Montana to Albert and Mabel (nee Erickson) Engemoen, she moved with the family to a farm near Broderick, SK, in October of 1919. She attended the Brackton School until 1926, when the family moved to a farm near Wadena and she attended Sunderland School. She finished grade eleven in 1932 and left home to work in Kelvington, where she met Jack Pinkerton. They were married in 1936 and farmed in the Kelvington area for several years. They purchased and operated lumber mills at Big River and later Bertwell, with Lillian as camp cook, before moving to Canora in 1947.

Lillian finished high school by correspondence after the last of her eight children were born, adding university courses before attending Teacher's College in Saskatoon in 1969 obtaining her teaching certificate. She began teaching in Canora in 1970 in the town's first special education class. She finished her bachelor of education degree in 1981 at the age of 67, and retired from teaching that same year. Her active role in the community included teaching Sunday school and serving as an elder on the board of the United Church and as a member of the Canora Arts Council, the Canora Library Board and the Order of the Eastern Star. She was a talented craftsperson, enjoying rug- hooking, leatherwork, furniture re-finishing and upholstery, knitting, crocheting and sewing throughout her life. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered for her kindness, wisdom, integrity and generosity of spirit, as a lady who lived by her strong family values and had a positive influence on all who knew her.

DZIADUCK: Verna Dziaduck of Buchanan passed away at the Canora Hospital on February

13th, 2009 at the age of 73 years.

Verna was born on June 27th, 1935 on the family farm near Buchanan to John and Mary (nee Melnychuk) Tumak. As a young girl she attended Vasloutz School, completing Grade 8 and then leaving school to help on the family farm. On September 6th, 1953 Verna married Joe Dziaduck in the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Buchanan and celebrated the first wedding reception at Drobot Hall near Buchanan. Shortly thereafter, they moved into their farm located just south of Buchanan, where they enjoyed grain and cattle farming. Joe and Verna were blessed with four children: Julius, VelMarie, Daniel and Olivia. They resided on the farm making many happy memories until 1987 when Verna & Joe decided to retire from the farm life and move to Buchanan.

Verna was a people-person and was very active within the community. For many years she was an active member of the Vasloutz Ladies and Mens Club where she dedicated much of her time and effort preparing meals, up keeping the church and attending countless dances that were held at Vasoultz Hall. Verna was also a member of Buchanan's Club 50 where she enjoyed playing cards or simply having coffee and spending time with friends. She also dedicated countless hours as President for the Buchanan Ukrainian Dance Club and continued to be on the Board for the Buchanan Housing Authority until she became ill. Verna enjoyed cooking her traditional dishes, especially when she knew family and friends were coming over. She also enjoyed knitting, cross-stitching and gardening.

What Verna cherished most in life were her grandchildren. She loved spending time with them and it was a joy to be "Baba" to all of them. They all enjoyed a good game of cards, decorating Easter eggs and the treats were the best part of all. In June of last year Verna found it necessary, due to failing health, to take up residence at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre in Regina. Her health continued to decline and on February 8th, 2009 she was brought to the Canora Hospital with her family by her side. Verna was a kind, generous woman who always offered a helping hand to those in need. A loving wife, mom, Baba and great Baba; you will be missed and loved forever.

Verna is lovingly remembered by her husband of 55 years, Joe; her sons: Julius (Gloria) and Daniel (Angie), both of Buchanan, SK; her daughters: VelMarie (Barry) Strelezki of Flin Flon, MB and Olivia (Bryce) Krawetz of Yorkton, SK; her brothers: Ron (Trudy) Tumak of Winnipeg, MB and Ernie Tumak of Canora, SK. Verna also leaves to mourn her passing ten grandchildren, five great-grandchildren as well as three nieces and one nephew. She was predeceased by her parents: John & Mary Tumak and her brother Edward Tumak.
