We are sad to announce that Erna passed away October 21, 2015. Surviving her are her three children Bruce, Craig and Marcia; her sister Ruth; brother Albert; three grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Donald, and parents Adolph and Beate. Erna was born on February 11, 1933 on the family homestead near Tate. Shortly thereafter they moved north of Nokomis where the family resided. She helped out with the family farm doing anything and everything that was asked of her. After her schooling she attended university in Saskatoon and attained her teaching degree. She then found a teaching position in Perryville in the one room school house and there she met her soon to be husband Donald. After getting married they resided on the Lindeburgh homestead where they raised their three children and ran the family farm. In 1966 mom resumed her teaching profession in Punnichy until her retirement in 1989. She was a wonderful teacher and always had stories about her students that touched her greatly. After retiring Don and her enjoyed travelling which included seeing their grandchildren, fiddle fests, antique auctions and Jackpot Nevada. Card playing with friends was a big part of her pastime which usually lasted into the wee hours of the morning. Her love of Bingo cannot be forgotten. In 2005 they moved from the family home in Punnichy into Regina where she resided until March 2014 when she was diagnosed with Dementia. She resided in Parkside Extendicare home from April 2014 until her passing. Even with her Dementia she most often than not had a smile on her face that embraced all of the staff.
