Obituary William (Bill) Paul Bucksovich
(1940 – 2016) William Paul Bucksovich of Arden, Manitoba passed away suddenly at his home on January 24, 2016, at 75 years of age. His daughter, Sherry, was present with him at the time of his death. Bill was born to Wilma and Paul *Buksovich on February 21, 1940, in Arden, Manitoba. His childhood was spent in Keyes where he resided with his older sister, Jean, and his mother who maintained the CPR Station and his father who worked on the CPR track. He spoke fondly of skating, tobogganing and playing ball with friends from the area. As an adult, he spent the majority of his career with CPR. Various positions had him travel long distances in Manitoba and the nearby provinces. Eventually, he was successful in bidding for a position that would get him closer to home in Arden. He would also trap and sell the pelts as a way to earn extra income. Hunting, fishing and gardening were some of the activities that he enjoyed. Although, he was often successful at hunting and fishing, the conversation often involved talk about “the one that got away”. One conversation was about his “new” ice fishing rod that went down the hole. Eventually, some of the big fish did not get away and he received a few Master Angler awards. Gardening often took up a large part of his time in the summer. He always loved trees and continued to plant many on the property. After retiring, a great deal of time was spent at the Crocus Club (coffee shop) where he liked to play pool and hear the most recent events of the day. Bill was predeceased by his son William, Jr. (1965), son Robbie (1981), his father Paul (1978) and his mother Wilma (2003). He is survived by his daughter, Cindy Kwiatkowski (Reg) and Bryce, Sherry Obsniuk (Justin Hunt) and Matthew and Christopher, and his sister Jean Webb (Burt) and family. The funeral service took place on January 29, 2016, at St. Dominic’s Church in Neepawa with Father Mark officiating. The interment took place at Riverside Cemetery. Pallbearers were Lorne Perrett, Scott Gillies, Don McGorman, Jim Webb, Justin Hunt and Reg Kwiatkowski. Donations in his memory may be made to the Diabetes Association, Children’s Hospital or a charity of your choice. (*Note: Variations of the spelling of the family’s last name have occurred over the years.)

Obituary Steven Ronald Scrupa 1942-2016
Due to complications from heart failure, Steve Scrupa passed away on January 24,2016 at the Neepawa Health Centre. A memorial service will be held at Christ Lutheran Church in Waldersee on Saturday January 30, 2016 at 2 P.M. Steve was born on January 8, 1942, the only child of Pearl and Bill Scrupa, and raised on a humble farm near Pine River, Manitoba. He attended nearby Fletcher school and later Pine River High School. Freshly armed with a Gr. 11 education, he set off to teach at Tartakiw School, near Gilbert Plains. Motivated by tales of great wages, Steve then set off north, trying his hand on a diamond drilling crew. Harsh working conditions led him to realize that a more stable and rewarding future lay elsewhere. Using funds he had saved, Steve completed Gr.12 in Ethelbert and enrolled in Teachers’ Collegein Winnipeg, graduating in 1962. His first job as a licensed teacher was at Alfred #1 school in Kinosota, where he taught for two years. In 1965, he became principal of Alonsa School. Later, a young teacher named Sharon started working at Alonsa: a romance flourished, and they were married May 17, 1969. While raising a young family, Steve obtained his B.A. at the U. of Winnipeg in 1976 and a B.Ed. at Brandon in 1981. After 35 years of service at Alonsa, Steve retired with Sharon in 1998 to Neepawa. Steve was a dedicated Rotarian, a green-thumbed member of the Beautiful Plains Horticultural Society, a board member of the Beautiful Plains Museum and the Alex Robertson Museum, a volunteer firefighter, and a skilled Master of Ceremonies for countless events. His proudest memories, however, were of all the students he watched grow to adulthood, knowing that he contributed in some part to their success. Predeceased by his loving wife Sharon in 2010, his interment will take place alongside her at Waldersee. Steve leaves behind a multitude of friends, students, co-volunteers, as well as his children Katherine and Christopher and grandchildren, Nicholas and Benjamin. He will be fondly remembered as a deeply personal man who preferred to give of himself and not to trouble others. He touched many lives in his 74 years and will be sadly missed.

Obituary Mary Helen Grace Adamson (Jamieson) Grace passed away peacefully with her family at her side at Third Crossing Manor in Gladstone, Wednesday, January 27th at the age of 99 years. She was born in Sceptre, Sask. on September 9th, 1916 and in late October 1920, the family moved back to the farm at Ogilivie, Mb. She took her schooling at Blake and Gladstone schools. Mom met her future husband George Adamson through singing in the United Church Choral Society and they were married October 31/1942. They farmed and raised a family together till George's passing in March of 1978. Mom was very active in the community enjoying many years of golf and curling, being made honourary member of both clubs. Mom was a member of the Gladstone United Church and sang in the choir for many years. Mom was a leader of C.G.I.T. and Explorers and very involved with the Legion and I.O.D.E. organizations. One of her biggest loves and sources of pride was her beautiful flower and vegetable garden. Roses were her specialty and many of her winning exhibits at the Gladstone Fair featured her roses. Mom loved entertaining friends and family and many a great time was spent around the dining room table. Knitting was one of Mom's passions and all of her children, and many others, have been seen wearing her hand knit sweaters. As much as Mom loved her pastimes, the most important thing in her life was her family, she gave them unconditional love and her door was always open to each and every one of us. Left to cherish her memory are her children Helen Claussen, Lynda (Len) Eckstrand, Robert (Cindy); grandchildren Michael, Drew (Andrea), Trish (Jerry), Karl, Lesley, Blair (Crystal), Lori (Jamie), and Jody; great grandchildren Jack, Brett, Leah, Jared, Justin and little Luke. Mom was predeceased by her parents John and Olive Jamieson, husband George, 2 brothers, Herbert and Murray, sister Edie, brother-in-law Jamie, son-in-law Henry and grandson-in-law Mike. She taught the true meaning of kindness and generosity and also to love unconditionally and with intensity. Our family joins together to thank the Medical Staff and everyone at Third Crossing Manor for all their kindness, care and compassion shown towards our Mom. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Gladstone Golf Club, Box 91, Gladstone, MB R0J 0T0 or to the Gladstone Curling Club, Box 688, Gladstone, MB R0J 0T0.
In lieu of flowers, Steve has requested that donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Cremation has taken place and funeral services was held on Monday February 1, 2016 at 2 pm at the Gladstone United Church with Lynne Sanderson officiating. Interment will take place at a later date.

DEVESON, Doreen Isabel Doreen Deveson (nee White) passed away on Saturday, January 23rd, 2016 in Kelowna, BC. Doreen was born on April 20th, 1929 in Neepawa, Manitoba where she spent her childhood and most of her adult years. She married George Ewart Deveson in 1954 and together they had 3 children. She will be forever missed and loved by her children Donald, Candace, and George (Shona), and grandchildren Nicole, Blaine, Sheldon, and Tristen. She is sadly pre-deceased by her grandson Michael in 2011 and siblings Jean, Lillian, John and Bill. Doreen worked in the Land Titles office and then as a telephone operator in Neepawa (the hardest part of which she said was keeping everyone’s secrets). After the telephone office closed she worked as a bookkeeper at the Neepawa Lumber yard. She was a dedicated member of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary serving as President for many years. Curling was also a big part of her life, both as the skip of her own rink travelling to Manitoba bonspiels, and then as an avid fan watching it whenever she could. Doreen was known for her fun, friendly, outgoing nature and her wonderful sense of humor. In keeping with her easy going nature, most everyone (including her children’s sometimes rowdy friends) knew they would be happily welcomed in her home. Being the adventurous spirit that she was, Doreen moved to Fort St John, BC in 1981 where she managed a motel until she retired in 1998 at the age of 69 and moved to Kelowna. A private family service will be held at a later date. A special thank you to Dr. Michael Bobyn and to the wonderful staff at Sun Pointe Village for their care and compassion and their appreciation for mom’s “unfiltered” sense of humor. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Diabetes Association. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
