Obituary of Wilfred George Riffel

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Wilfred Riffel. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Peggy; his children Bill (Twila), Chris, and Susan (David Tollman); and his grandchildren Connor, Taylor, Mariah and Joel. Wilfred was born February 20, 1935 in Rhein, SK and grew up on the family farm. Wilfred’s love for farming stayed with him and he was later known for his gardening skills. He met Peggy in April 1959 when she substituted on his bowling team. Six months later, on October 10, 1959, they were married. Wilfred and Peggy recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Wilfred was deeply devoted to his family and was a kind and loving friend. His benevolent nature showed in his dedication to his church and his membership in the Lions club. A time of gathering will be held at Christ Lutheran Church, 4825 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, SK on Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. followed by a lunch where we will join together in celebrating Wilfred’s life.
