Obituary of Ragnhild Guinn

RAGNHILD “REGGIE” GUINN It is with loving hearts that we announce the passing of Ragnhild “Reggie” Guinn on November 21, 2013. She was predeceased by her husband Bert; mother and father; sister Inga; and son Don. Reggie was born in Bergan, Norway on December 13, 1922. At a young age, she travelled by ship with her sister to join their father working in Canada. She grew up in the Orange Benevolent Home in Indian Head, Sask. At 24 she married her Air Force sweetheart, Bert, and together they raised four children. She then worked for Simpson’s and The Bay demonstrating Panasonic microwave ovens. She cherished her grandchildren and attended every sports game, school play and concert. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2004, which stole her memories but not her kind, loving spirit. Her own words ring true, “the eyes are the windows to your soul”. Certainly a soul as beautiful as hers could not be tarnished by this disease. Reggie is survived by her children, Bob (Linda), Lee Ann (Dean), and Brenda (Richard); seven grandchildren William (Jaclyn), Tyler (Kimber-Leigh), Jamie, Lindsay, Rachel, Taylor and Amber; and niece Karen (Rod). The family thanks the caring staff of Pioneer Village 2W. A service to celebrate Reggie’s life will be held in the spring.
