Obituary of Laura Findlay

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Laura Jean Findlay of Regina on Monday, August 5, 2013. Jean was born in Osage, Saskatchewan on October 23, 1919 and attended elementary school in the Latham School District. Jean graduated from Regina Normal School in 1940 and taught in Grenfell, SK. She later worked in Regina at different jobs including the CNR Ticket Office in Union Station. It was during these years that Jean met her future husband Victor Findlay. Vic and Jean were married on June 1, 1946. Jean was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother who was always at her best adding the finishing details to family meals and celebrations. She was an avid gardener and could always be counted on for advice on making any type of plant flourish. Jean was a long time member of Broadway United Church. Jean was predeceased by her parents John and Laura Morris; her husband Victor Findlay; her son Brian Findlay; brothers, Ernest, William and Percy Morris; sisters, Eva, Ida, Grace and Nettie; and brothers-in-law, Cecil and James Findlay, Ross Millard and Al Houston; and sisters-in-law Ethel and Estelle Findlay and Pearl Morris. Jean will be deeply missed by her daughter Brenda Ross (James), grandchildren Erin Ross (Simon Schofield) and Kyle Ross (Landace) and sister-in-law Jean Houston as well as many nephews and nieces and friends from all generations. The family wishes to express a heartfelt thank you to Dr. J. S. McMillan for his excellent care over many years.
