Millie Bakke

Born in the small Wyoming town of Douglas on May 12, 1941 Millie was the youngest born to Carey Fowler and Marie (Fowler) Johnston. Her early life began in Douglas but by third grade her family would move to Laramie where she would take music and attend high school. It was the 1950’s and like so many girls, she wore bobby socks, penny loafers and cat-eye glasses!

Her dad played old-time hymns on piano at the Baptist Church, but Millie preferred “In the Mood” on her accordion.

Yet her favorite was Rock & Roll and her “Dream Boat” was none other than Elvis Presley! First married in August 1957, Millie moved to Denver and later two children were born, Michael and Michelle.

But when that marriage ended, Millie and her children moved to Cody, Wyoming and stayed with her parents and worked at the hospital. It was here she met Bjarne Bakke who won her heart and on May 27, 1967 they married at the Lutheran Church in Cody. A big transition awaited Millie at the farm near Lisieux, no running water and no phone to name a couple! Soon, two more children arrived, Linda and Doug to complete their family. Millie became a champion in the kitchen where fresh fruit from the orchard, pastries, and home grown produce and beef were always abundant. Millie and Bjarne forged a wonderful life on the farm and raised four children that were a constant source of pride to them. They retired to Assiniboia in 1996 but after Bjarne passed away she moved to the Saskatoon area in 2006 where she spent her remaining years tending her yard and flowers. Millie leaves behind four loving children, Mick (Gloria), Michelle (Greg) Miller, Linda (Elvis) Asztalos, Doug (Tracy), 17 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her husband, Bjarne, two brothers Clyde (Almaruth) and David (Judy).Funeral Service will be held at Messiah Lutheran Church, Assiniboia, SK, on Monday, March 27, 2023 at 2:00 pm. Pastor Sarah Mowat officiating. Interment to follow at Mount Hope Cemetery, Assiniboia, SK. Donations may be made to the Salvation Army. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy for the Bakke family may be shared at www.rossfuneralservice.com.

Dennis Spanko

Dennis Joseph Spanko passed away on March 10, 2023 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Gravelbourg, SK. Over the last years Dennis struggled with numerous health issues, but always maintained his smile and sense of humour. Dennis was born June 13, 1945 at this same hospital. He was a lifelong resident of Mazenod, SK. Besides farming he spent a lot of time with his favourite hobbies: constructing small versions of Mazenod businesses, refurbishing old trucks and machinery, and welding art pieces. On December 19, 1981 he married Patricia “Pat” Mulhern.

Together they lived on the farm bordering the south side of Mazenod. They were always active in Mazenod activities; helping organize the reunions over the years, maintaining the Sacred Heart Cemetery, and visiting with friends and neighbours. Dennis and I have been truly blessed to have Scott Heatcoat, Cheri Rotheisler and baby Joey as part of our family, especially during Dennis’ end of life journey. They are dear friends who have given us great comfort and joy. Dennis was predeceased by his parents Tony (1969) and Annie (2003) (nee Kesslar) Spanko; father-in-law, Mike (1977) and mother-in-law, Mary (2005) (nee Clutchey) Mulhern. He is survived by his wife Pat Spanko and his precious companion little dog Cheeko; sister, Shirley Ann (Larry Way dec’d 2017); brother, Roy Anthony (Teena Roberts); sister, Marilyn Bertha (Monty Needham, Bob Reesor (dec’d 2009), Ed Krieser); many nieces and nephews. Dennis lived a full and fulfilling life in 77 years but still left us way too soon. He will be laid to rest at the Scared Heart Cemetery in Mazenod at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to Sask TeleMiracle, Camp Lemieux or St. Joseph Hospital Foundation would be welcomed. A heartfelt thank you to the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Hospital, Assiniboia Palliative Care and St. Joseph Hospital for the exceptional care and support.
