Obituary of Magdalen "Margaret" Hudy

On the tenth day of October 2018, God gathered his arms around our mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother and took her home to rest after 96 years of this life.

Magdalen “Margaret” Chepeur was born a twin on June 14, 1922 in Melville hospital, daughter of Frank and Mary (née Novakowski) Chepeur. Margaret was the youngest of six children. She received her early education at Happy Home country school.

On October 28, 1939, Margaret was united in marriage to Paul Allan Hudy and together they farmed the Hudy homestead near McKim Saskatchewan until 1948. Their daughter Carolyn was born during that time.

In the fall of 1948, they moved to Bangor, SK and co-owned a small store, lunch counter, and rooming house until 1957. In August of that year, mom was appointed the village Postmistress and worked in that position until her retirement in 1982, when she and Paul moved to Regina to live with Carolyn, Richard and their two daughters. While there she enjoyed the small critters that graced the yard and family such as the friendly birds, squirrels, cats, and dogs.

Margaret resided with her family until health issues required her to receive care at Pioneer Village, September 22, 2010 to December 23, 2011, at which time she was transferred to where she looked forward to living at the Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home.

Margaret was predeceased by her husband, parents, brothers, and sisters. She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Carolyn and husband Richard; her granddaughters, Treena (Dale) and Leanne (David); great-grandchildren, Julia Swanston and Leo and Charles Johnson; a sister-in-law Victoria Chepeur of Yorkton; and several nephews and nieces.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home Chapel, 4215 Regina Avenue, Regina SK on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Ken Koep as celebrant. Interment in Riverside Memorial Park will follow.

We wish to acknowledge the compassionate and excellent care Margaret received from all the staff at Santa Maria. A special thank you to the staff on third floor, residents and families for their kindness shown to mom. Those so wishing may make donations, in memoriam, to Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home (Building Fund), 4215 Regina Avenue, Regina SK S4S 0J5.
