She was predeceased by her parents Tom and Alice (Barker) Murdoch; husband, Hugo; son, Ken; brother, Cecil (Frances); sister, Jessie (Bill) and in-laws, Madge, Hilda (Stan); Herbert (Ruth); and three nephews. She is lovingly remembered by daughter, Shirley Hansen; beloved granddaughter, Kirsten (Dustin); former son-in-law and dear friend, David (Cheryl), as well as the nieces and nephews she so treasured and many friends. Mum was born January 29, 1916 on the farm in the Waldorf district south of Bethune and attended school there. She and Hugo were married in 1935 and they ran the Seifert farm east of Bethune until retirement. Their home on the farm and later the new house in Bethune were settings for many festive gatherings and meals. Going hungry was not an option in Mum's mind and her fine cooking is well remembered by those who shared in it. She loved her vegetable and flower gardens and spread the bounty of them. She also loved the Roughriders. Many charities, many community associations and many family members and friends benefitted from her kindnesses and hard work. The family wishes to thank Dr. Pervaiz and the wonderful staff of Pioneer Village, in particular of 4E, for their compassionate and generous care. A burial of ashes and a celebration of life will take place at Bethune when the grass grows and flowers bloom. Those so wishing may make donations in memoriam to The Bethune Cemetery Fund, P.O. Box 96, Bethune, SK, S0G 0H0 or to a charity of their choice.
