Gail Nykoluk
Gail Anne Nykoluk, late of Red Deer, Alberta, born February 29, 1956, passed away with family at her side on August 28, 2021 after a short and aggressive battle with cancer. Gail was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. She, and her twin brother Garry, were the youngest of the seven children born to Ralph and Jean Mokelki. Gail grew up helping on the family farm and attended school in Goodwater, Saskatchewan. Gail was excellent at any sport during her school days, but she especially loved fastball. She played well into adulthood including on a competitive ladies team in Weyburn. Friendships and loyalty were always important to her. If she was your friend, you knew she had your back. After high school, she spent the next 17 years living around the Maxim, SK area. Gail had four children; Tara, Kurt, Andrea, and Alisha and was very involved in the farming community. Gail enjoyed working off the farm as a Care Aid at Souris Valley Mental Health Hospital. In 1991, Gail made the move to Lloydminster to find work. She moved herself and her children and took up employment at the provincial upgrader. This is where she would meet the love of her life, Wayne, and they would spend the next four years living in Lloydminster. In 1995 they relocated to Central Alberta, spending the next 26 years in Sylvan Lake and Red Deer areas. Gail worked many years in the area as a waitress, and this is where she really shone. Her warm personality and contagious laugh would immediately put everyone at ease. Gail was a natural caregiver and was always willing to lend a hand to anybody in need. Some of the best times of Gail’s life were spent in Cabo San Lucas with her husband, children, grandchildren, and extended family. There were countless memories made, in the 10 years of vacations to Cabo. Gail was immensely proud of her children and loved spending time with them. There were always treats to be found at grandma’s house, and often she could be found baking something delicious in the kitchen. Gail is survived by her husband of 30 years, Wayne Nykoluk of Red Deer. AB; daughter, Tara Patrick of Red Deer, AB; son, Kurt (Tami) Becker of Bonnyville, AB; daughter, Andrea (Jody) MacLeod of Brisbane, Australia; daughter, Alisha Becker (Kalon Ternes) of Medicine Hat, AB; grandchildren, Connor, Chase, Kadence, Slade, Ryker, Kian, and Amelia; sisters, Patsy Ernst, Lana (John) Tosczak; brothers, Chris (Wendy) Mokelki, Garry (Donelda) Mokelki as well as numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, family and friends. Gail was predeceased by her parents, Ralph and Jean Mokelki; brothers, Roy Mokelki, Danny Mokelki; sister-in-law, Lois Mokelki; brother-in-law, Albert Ernst; niece, Tracy Mokelki and granddaughter, Abigail MacLeod. A Celebration of Life for Gail held will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #47, Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

In addition to leaving a legacy as a successful farmer, he was also an accomplished musician - his band “Ray Stepp and the Melody Kings” entertained dancers in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Las Vegas, just to name a few places. Ray had many followers enjoying the unique sound of his 5 piece band consisting of Ray and his two sons, Jason and Lionel, and long-time friends, Ken Kurtz and Ed Heidinger. Ray enjoyed all sports, both as a coach and a spectator as well as travelling to warmer climates. But above all, family was his number one love. Ray will be missed but not forgotten!

Raymond Aime Durand
September 26th, 1930 to August 25th, 2021 Raymond Aime Durand, left this Earth on August 25th 2021 in Okotoks AB. He was born on the farm in Notre Dame De Lourdes MB. He is survived by his wife Therese Durand and his children Alice (Daniel), Robert (Louise), Annette (Joseph), Marcel (Lori), Rene (Menerva) and Gilles (Marlene), numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was a kind loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and uncle. He was from a family of 6 children, Albert, Lucienne, Maurice, Clemence and Gabriel. As we travel back through his life, one thing stands out is his joy and deep love for family, hence family reunions like no other. The Durand’s would go to great lengths to gather yearly with camping, games and above all food. Ray had a quiet strength about him, his children and especially grand children could sit with him for hours listening to his life stories with a quirky sense of humor. (And if we caught on) we would all be left laughing. He loved to tease. Another great love of his was to travel, and that he did to several parts of the world. When he retired, they bought a place in Mesa Arizona and spent many winters there. He loved to golf and had a large group of golf buddies. Dancing was another past time that he and Therese enjoyed for many years. It is never easy to lose someone we love, yet we stumble bravely. Our heartbreak eased knowing he is flying free at last into the arms of our Lord Jesus. At peace at last. The journey of goodbyes will leave a deep mark on all of us. Rest in peace our sweet loving Father, Grandfather and Husband. “For God so loved the world that he gave his son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16A private service will be held in Okotoks, with burial in Notre Dame De Lourdes later. In lieu of flowers, you may consider donating to the Brenda Strafford Foundation, Tudor Manor. To email condolences please visit www.snodgrassfuneralhomes.com.

Kathleen Emily (“Kay”) Davis
1916 - 2021 It is with sadness that the family of Weyburn pioneer Kathleen Emily “Kay” Davis advises of her passing on August 7th, 2021 at the age of 105, in Calgary, Alberta. She is survived by her son, Keith (Peggy) of Calgary and her daughter, Wendy (Rob) Petrie of Courtenay, BC. Kay is also survived by six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her infant son, Ian, in 1956; husband, Grant in 1985; her son, Gary, in 1993; and her daughter, Pat, in 1996. Kay was born in the city of El Minya, Egypt in 1916 to British parents and was raised until the age of 10 at the family estate in King’s Lynn, England. She came to Canada in 1927 and continued her upbringing at her aunt and uncle’s homestead near the now-defunct village of Wiwa Hill, in southwestern Saskatchewan. She later attended teacher’s college in Moose Jaw and received her Teaching Certificate, upon which she began teaching in rural, one-room schools throughout southeastern Saskatchewan, before marrying Grant in Weyburn in 1940. They lived on the Davis farm North of Weyburn until the late 1940s, at which time they moved into town. Kay later taught at Queen Elizabeth School in Weyburn for a number of years, before she, Grant and their children relocated to Kelowna. She then established a kindergarten in Kelowna, which she operated for 25 years before retiring. Kay and Grant had a wide circle of friends and loved to travel the world. She continued that travel following Grant’s death, before finally relocating, at the age 90, to Calgary to be closer to family. Condolences or memories may be forwarded to daviscomm@shaw.ca
