Doreen Jorstad January 23, 1926 December 11, 2014 Doreen was born January 23, 1926 in Bienfait. Raised on the farm south of Hirsch, overlooking the Souris River, it must have been there that she developed her love of fishing. No summer was complete without returning to the fishing hole of her youth. On October 17, 1947 she married Elmer Jorstad and began raising her family in Estevan. It was a good thing Elmer was a mechanic since Doreen was a stock car driver and they were beginning a part time farming career. In 1961 they purchased a farm south of Estevan. Her love of animals was evident on the farm since every horse, cow, dog and cat had a name. With some good natured teasing from family and friends Doreen had no need for Campbell’s Soup since a can of pork and beans or kernel corn with some milk could be used in busy seasons. After twenty years ( 1981) Doreen and Elmer retired to Estevan and began a new chapter of life with motorhomes, boats and chuckwagon horses. Doreen kept her eye on her fishing rod which was off limits to other family members. Elmer was busy maintaining their flat bottom scow ( paddle wheel boat) and weekends were filled with chuckwagon races in three Prairie Provinces. With Elmer passing in 1994 Doreen moved to Valley View Heritage Place; taking up bowling, curling and motor coach tours. A highlight was a very enjoyable holiday at Disneyland and San Diego with her daughter Elaine. Christmas dinner was never just turkey; cabbage rolls with just the right amount of hamburger and folded to perfection had to be served. In June 2014 Doreen gave up her independence and moved to the Estevan Regional Nursing Home. Doreen was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Dora; her husband Elmer; brothers, Steve and John; and sisters, Mary and Annie. Those so wishing may make donations to the New Estevan Regional Nursing Home, 1201 2nd Street Estevan, Sk. S4A 0M1 in Doreen’s memory.

Lloyd Dronsfield 1945 - 2014 Lloyd Dronsfield, late of Bienfait, passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Estevan, on Saturday, December 6, 2014 at the age of 69 years. Lloyd Garvey Dronsfield was born February 6, 1945 in Bienfait, Sk to Herb and Ida Dronsfield. The family lived at the eastern mine south of Bienfait before moving to Estevan in the early 1950’s where Lloyd attended Valley View School. In his teens he left school to work as a farm hand for a couple of years on the Durr farm east of Estevan. He then secured a job in the oilfield. In 1968, Lloyd married his childhood sweetheart, Avis Jocelyn and together had two daughters, Kim and Vicki. The oilfield took him to Alberta in the 1970’s and his family joined him in the summers. When Kim started school Lloyd wanted to work closer to home. He worked for Harris Oilfield Construction of Estevan for many years before he started his own business, L A Oilfield Construction Ltd., in March 1994. Anyone who knew Lloyd knew he had a strong work ethic. He worked hard and he expected the same from those he worked with - just ask anyone who worked with him if they ever got a lunch break ! When his business continued to grow, and more space was needed, he purchased some land south of Bienfait. This acreage also became a gathering place for family and friends where all enjoyed many BBQ’s, wiener roasts, birthday parties and family reunions. His grandchildren loved to come and spend time with him at the acreage where they liked to catch frogs from the dugout even though grandpa always made them put them back. They loved watching Lloyd start a fire, with the help of a little gas. They would help him burn boxes and they would play hide and seek with grandpa helping out by giving away their hiding places. Lloyd had many ups and downs during his lifetime. In 1999 Lloyd suffered a brain aneurism which caused him to dissolve his business. After this, he worked at various jobs, mostly with Andy Bourassa and Alex Ewaski. He also enjoyed using his bobcat, fondly nicknamed “Bobby”, for odd jobs around Bienfait in the summers and for snow removal for a few local businesses and residents during the winter. Lloyd developed a liking for travel when he took his first trip to Mexico with Avis, Steve and Vicki in 2002. Since then he and Avis travelled to Vegas, Cuba, the Bahamas and the Dominican. And in 2013 he enjoyed his first cruise. In 2008, doctors discovered bladder cancer. Lloyd and Avis made several trips over the next 6 years to Saskatoon and Regina for treatments for various cancers. Lloyd remained positive during all this time which was an example of his strength and an encouragement to his family and friends. He spent six weeks at the cancer lodge in Regina where he made many friends and enjoyed his time there. His natural humor and teasing nature made him popular with the staff, nurses and patients. This trait was evident to anyone who came in contact with him including his kids, grandkids and anyone working with him in the kitchen after Sunday lunches at the church building. 2014 was a trying time for Lloyd. When his health prevented his outings at the acreage, fondly known as “the ranch”, he set up a retreat in his garage at home where he welcomed family and friends any time of day. If the outside lights were on it meant he was home. To make access to the garage easier for him, neighbours, friends and family built a ramp during his 4 week stay in Regina. The gift and installation of the gas furnace also helped make this space more comfortable. Family will be forever grateful for the thoughtfulness and love of all those who saw and met his needs. I’m sure most of us in this room have a Lloyd story that would make you smile. His sense of humor and his example of hard work and generosity have touched so many of us. He has left us with so many memories. Lloyd will be forever remembered by his wife of 46 years, Avis Dronsfield of Bienfait; daughters, Kim Robinson (Ross Holstein) of Oxbow (grandchildren, Riley, Reece and Reegan Robinson) and Vicki (Steven) Elford of Estevan (grandchildren, Mason, Devin and Jilena Elford); siblings, Bev Lees (Ron Packard) of Medicine Hat, Ron Dronsfield (Dolly Harkins) of Bienfait and Laverne (David) Packard of Medicine Hat, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Lloyd’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to family and friends for your kindness during Lloyd’s times of illness. A service to celebrate Lloyd’s life was held on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at the Church of Christ, Estevan, with Tim Pippus officiating. Interment took place at the Bienfait Cemetery. Those wishing to make donations in Lloyd’s memory may do so directly to the Canadian Cancer Society, 1910 McIntyre Street, Regina, Sask., S4P 2R3. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Thank You Our sincere thank you to everyone who expressed their sympathy through gifts of food, flowers, cards, visits and phone calls. Your hugs and words of comfort mean so much to us.A special thank you to those who made Lloyd’s “Celebration of Life” one to remember. Tim Pippus for officiating, Justin Mooney for leading the singing, Dennis Jocelyn for doing the eulogy, Mary Muirhead for “memories”, Jeff Jopp and Calvin Efford for kind words and prayers, Trinda Jocelyn for doing the order of service, the slide show and music, Crystal Quilliams for the music before and after the service. To Norma Erickson and everyone who helped with the lunch. To everyone who contributed in any way. Lloyd was truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in his life. Good friends and family were there for him: Brian and Carol Simon, Ron and Dolly, Clint Harkins, Dennis Jocelyn and many more. Thank you. Avis, Kim, Vicki and families
