For anyone driving down Railway Avenue on September 22-23, you may have thought that you were entering a war zone. Thankfully, that was not the case.

The British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) was moving some of its military equipment from the base by road and rail last week. It will eventually be shipped back to the UK. This routine movement of equipment typically occurs twice annually in the spring and fall seasons as some of the equipment is moved

back to the UK for repairs or redeployed to the other operational environments. This semi-annual fleet rotation supports other NATO activities, while the majority of the fleet remains at BATUS during the off season.

The equipment travelled by road from CFB Suffield and then loaded onto the railway tracks at Oyen on September 22 where it departed for Kindersley.

The end destination is Montreal, Quebec area where it will be loaded onto ships and sent back to the UK.

Kindersley resident shares about her life in Europe and Israel

P

JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com

eople from all over the globe call Canada their home, and Olga Bersotsky is one of those individuals. She and her husband and children reside in Kindersley.

Olga was born and raised in Moldova, a small country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Romania to the west and Ukraine on the north, east and south.

In August of 1991, Moldova became an independent state, cutting off ties from the USSR and communism.

“But people are still living with the idea of returning to life as it was in the 1980s,” Olga said, explaining the circumstances.

Three-quarters of the younger generation have moved to other countries, so there are fewer people to fight for independence. Many of the older generation are more comfortable affiliating with Russia. The residents of Moldova are paying inflated prices for commodities, with salaries that do not adequately pay the bills. Olga described her family in Moldova as middle class and listed agriculture as the country’s primary resource.

Several years ago, Moldova held an election. Many former residents of Moldova cast their vote. “A lot of younger people living outside of the country vote for independence, but as of now, the greater influence is by the people who live there, the older generation,”

Olga said. Although the younger generation was hoping for different results, the election resulted in the same people being in power.

Olga experienced a radical change when she met and married her husband and moved to his place of residence in Israel in 2004. It was there that their children were born, and Olga learned to speak Hebrew.

“It’s a difficult language to learn,” she said. “Hebrew has a completely different alphabet and is read from right to left. But people in Israel are always helpful, correcting you when you make a mistake.”

While there, she worked in retail outlets, a jewelry store catered to tourists. Besides being well known for its advanced technology, Israel is famous for the cutting of diamonds.

“Israel is a religious country; they keep their traditions. They celebrate religious holidays, and even non-religious Jews are respectful of these holidays and traditions. “For example, on Independence Day, sirens go off throughout the entire country. “Everyone stops

wherever they are and keeps a moment of silence.”

Even traffic comes to a halt.

Every Friday evening, until six or seven o’clock Saturday evening, the residents honour the Sabbath; all shops close, and only emergency vehicles are allowed to travel.

Like all residents who grow up in Israel, Olga’s husband had taken three years of mandatory military training after completing high school. Two years of training complete girls’ training, while their male counterparts are members of the reserves until their mid-30’s. This means they complete a month of training each year. “Any time they are needed, they have an agreement with their employers so men in the reserves are available to help,” Olga said.

“Living in Israel is not anything like what people in Canada know about Israel. There is history everywhere. When you go to Jerusalem, you feel like you’re somehow closer to God. There are two sides to Israel; one is the Arab side, and the other is Israel. The media only discusses the Arab’s side. Israel starts none of the conflict, but the media always blames them. It’s not true, and it’s not right. They’re only defending themselves.”

Olga emphasized the importance of security in Israel. “There are military personnel everywhere, and any and every possible threat of danger is promptly addressed. For example, a forgotten backpack in a school playground is taken seriously. An emergency phone call and military personnel immediately appear to check for any possible threat of harm or danger.

In every apartment and building, there is a bomb shelter. Olga recalled an incident in 2014, just before they moved to Canada when rockets were shot from Egypt in the middle of the night. Sirens sounded, and the family had to run to the shelter.

Now Olga and her family call Kindersley home, but they still have family living in Moldova and Israel.

Olga is grateful her brother-in-law can help her mother-in-law and father-in-law during the recent lockdown in Israel. She’s also excited because her parents have received their visas and will be coming to Canada soon. “I’m super excited about that!” Olga said.

Nancy Kelley walks on the path to end Parkinson’s JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com

The Parkinson’s Super Walk proceeded, despite all the challenges that the year 2020 has brought.

Nancy Kelley from Kindersley participated once again, just as she has for the past decade.

Not only did she participate, but she managed to raise $12,000 for Parkinson’s research, support services, education and advocacy. Nancy has been the top fundraiser in Saskatchewan for the past seven years and was thrilled to see the Canadian total come in at more

than $1.4 million.

“Online donations were up, people were reaching out through email, and there were more videos online for challenges and exercise,” Nancy said, explaining how the walk differed from previous years.

“The Parkinson’s Super Walk opening ceremonies were live streamed across Canada. My one and a half-year-old grandson watched it on TV and joined in with the exercises!”

Anyone can watch the video at Superwalk.ca.

pictures and stories from across Canada,” Nancy said. “Our message for everyone this year is simple. We walk together on the path to end Parkinson’s: No Matter What.”

It was an appropriate message for 2020, and Nancy has spent months preceding the Super Walk, preparing for the event.

“I walk every morning and usually get a stretch class in some time. I have two grandkids that keep me hopping also. I walk my 10,000 steps every day and try and keep active,” she said.

When it came time for the Super Walk on Sunday, September 13th, Nancy said everyone did their own walk in their own way. People who did a virtual walk posted pictures and videos on the Superwalk.ca website.

As for Nancy, she and a friend, Sharon Haubrich, walked around town with a Parkinson’s banner. “Friends and family were doing a virtual walk with us,” she said. “I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and pledges for the Parkinson’s Super Walk, and feel free to contact me for more information.”

The folks in Kindersley would also like to thank Nancy for her continued participation in this event because, without people like her, the event would not be possible.

The Kindersley Legion Branch No. 57 made a donation of $1,500 to go towards the Kindersley Handibus.

CHECK IT OUT

Facebook Supreme Court threatens free speech I

JOAN JANZEN joanjanzen@yahoo.com

found these quotes about free speech. “It’s easier to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.” Leo McKern (Australian actor).

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.” Gloria Steinem (American journalist).

If you don’t use social media, you may not be interested in the following information, which concerns free speech. However for those people who are frequent users of Facebook, this is need-to-know information.

Social media is an awesome means of keeping in touch with family and friends who live in other countries, or in other provinces. It also keeps people entertained by providing everything from recipes to funny anecdotes to lighten everyone’s day.

So why does Facebook find it necessary to install what has been labelled “Facebook Supreme Court” to control all Facebook content? Well, as one of the world’s largest and most popular social media gathering places, it is not only utilized by families, but is one of the most effective tools used by advocacy groups, where they can share their campaigns on a daily basis and attract the attention of thousands of people.

Those campaigns include many issues, such as the gun bans in Canada, climate change, the energy sector and campaigns to expose UN lobbyists who try to force governments to support abortion or lose critical aid. Facebook is

T

also a place where controversial issues can see the light of day, such as lawsuits imposed on individuals who stand up for traditional family values, or garnering help for individuals facing persecution in other countries.

Recently, Netflix, a popular source of movies and entertainment for many families, has come under attack because of its choice of a film called “Cuties”.

Netflix claims the film criticizes the choices society forces upon young girls, but this does not explain why film has 11-year-old child actors sexually gyrating and mimicking sex acts, essentially glorifying child pornography. This situation and many others result in people signing many online petitions in an effort to draw attention to injustice.

But the establishment of this new advisory board puts all these campaigns for justice at risk, and would greatly infringe upon everyone’s right to free speech.

Nevertheless, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg has plans to institute an advisory board consisting of twenty individuals, or a “Facebook Supreme Court” as it has been dubbed by the public.

This supposedly “independent” advisory board is being created with the power to review posts and decide if you are allowed to speak or not. It’s problematic when eighteen of the twenty “independent” board members are openly linked to left-wing mega-donor George Soros. This advisory group would greatly inhibit free speech for families and advocacy groups all across

the world.

Facebook won’t control the actions of this new board; instead they are required to abide by the advisory board’s decisions, no matter what those decisions may be.

As a result there’s a push to let Mark Zuckerberg know, many Facebook users throughout the world want funding

cut for this “Supreme Court” and have it dissolved wherever possible.

“It’s easier to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree” is a relevant quote when it concerns the instituting of an advisory board which would regulate speech on social media.

Grain drying costs caught up in politics

he problem with politics is … well … the politics.

Or so we are again reminded as we head into another provincial election and, possibly, a federal election.

Caught in the middle are Saskatchewan farmers struggling to get through harvest. And not even the prospects of a ruling by the highest court on the validity of the federal carbon tax can offer them much solace.

Harvest is generally going well in what’s been a reasonably warm and dry fall, but that doesn’t mean that grain dryers aren’t necessary. Those dryers are powered by propane, which, of course has been subjected to the carbon tax for a year and a half now.

Those in rural Saskatchewan need not be told about the stress that accompanies harvest’s demands to get the crops off the field as quickly and efficiently as possible before moisture downgrades value.

It is a business where the profit margins begin to significant narrow at this time of year. Adding unnecessary tax costs to the need to grain dryer is just one of those things that seems particular unfair.

But more people vote in cities, so no government is interested in doing that.

There again, it sure does seem that Premier Scott Moe _ who is now running a provincial re-election campaign that seems more about running against Justin Trudeau than NDP leader Ryan Meili _ wants a solution that would help farmers if it’s also one that would help Trudeau and his policies.

There is an age-old tradition of Saskatchewan governments fighting with Ottawa _ sometimes, more for their own political benefit than the people’s benefit.

And Trudeau _ also possibly heading to the polls soon in the hopes of turning his minority into a majority _ sure doesn’t want a co-operative solution that looks like its a concession to Western premiers.

Caught in the middle are farmers who are just trying to get through harvest.

Ain’t politics grand?

W

ith September drawing to a close, my thoughts begin to focus on commemorating the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war. At Your West Central Voice, we will honour those with a special supplement to our regular paper, which will come out on Monday, November 9th. Over the next few weeks, I will be requesting that people send pictures and a brief write-up of family members who have served.

It is something that I will continue to do with great pride, and I hope that it shows in the final product. It is my favourite edition to put together, as it makes me reflect on how lucky I am to be able to do what I do and share my passion with others.

I welcome submissions from all across our west-central region.

Please take the time to share your stories and photos with me, and I will endeavour to turn it into a keepsake edition that is sure to be treasured for years to come.

I already feel like I have a great start to this supplement as I received an email a couple of weeks ago from Elrose Legion member, Doug Bone, who has compiled the military history of Elrose & District fallen of World War I. His 48 pages of detailed research is truly a gift to Elrose and District.

I also had the privilege to meet Clifford Neufeld of Remco Memorials, who has been doing grave marker maintenance through a program created by Veterans Affairs Canada. Cliff was

contacted by Veterans Affairs to do work on some gravestones at Eatonia for their homecoming (which didn’t happen this year due to COVID).

He finished that small project and was contacted again to do 62 more from the Senlac, Macklin and Neilburg area over through Alsask and Kindersley.

Veterans Affairs Canada and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintain the gravesites and grave markers provided and installed by the Government of Canada of more than 300,000 fallen Canadian Armed Forces members here and throughout the world.

The Government of Canada has invested $24.4 million over the next five years to address repairs and ensure that the graves of those who served are well maintained. The work began in 2018 and will continue until 2023. The new funding will be used for cleaning, restoring or replacing grave markers, and fixing foundation issues.

It’s probably not a job that most people want to do, but Cliff feels it’s his duty. His dad fought with the Commonwealth Forces in Korea, and he has heard the stories of battle.

I have also been in touch with David Burke of the Kindersley Legion Branch 57, who has promised to give me a tour of the newly renovated Legion Hall.

I am looking forward to meeting more of you and listening to the stories as we celebrate the efforts of these brave men and women.

On November 11th, we take the time to pay homage to those who cou-

rageously volunteered for the cause of freedom and peace. We take the time to wear poppies and visit memorials and attend ceremonies. We take the time, one day of the year, to stop in silence for thought and reflection and for that one brief moment, we remember why we must work for peace every day of the year.

Clifford Neufeld cleans the gravestone of Pte. John Boyd at the Kindersley Cemetery as part of a program created by Veterans Affairs.

My Great Uncle Bruce Maclennan was killed just before the air war was coming to an end. Maclennan Lake in northern Saskatchewan is named in his honour.

SEIU holds protest event in front of Kindersley Hospital

KINDERSLEY – Health care providers who are members of SEIU-West are reminding the public that they are still without a collective agreement and are frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) due to the Sask Party government’s refusal to fund a fair deal.

“Our rural health care providers are the backbone of our communities and provide care to their patients, clients, and residents with dignity and respect first in mind,” says President of SEIUWest Barbara Cape. “Unfortunately, our rural health care is suffering under the current government’s neglectful and dismissive attitude.”

Earlier this week, the Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe and the Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety snuck out the back door of the Saskatoon Cabinet office to avoid health care workers who were requesting a meeting to discuss the unfair government wage mandate.

“Our members across the province have been the front line defense against NG: This proof is delivered on the condition that it be carefully inspected beforeCOVID-19, going any yet their concerns have been largely ignored and dismissed by n the production cycle.

Spieth’s elite golf game has vanished

W

hat has happened to Jordan Spieth?

In his personal life, the 27-year-old Texan is in a good place. He was recently married to his longtime girlfriend, Annie, and he’s pulling down a couple of million dollars a year, at least, from on-course earnings and endorsement revenue.

His net worth is reportedly $100 million.

Professionally, however, Spieth’s golf game - as the kids would say - sucks.

In his first four years on the PGA Tour, Spieth played as if he were going to be the next Tiger Woods, or at least the next Rory McIlroy. He won three major championships by age 23, and fumbled away a fourth by messing up the par-3 12th at Augusta in 2016. He was a favourite to contend in almost every tournament he entered.

He had 11 PGA Tour victories by the age of 24. When he won the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in July, 2017, the golf world was in agreement that the sky was the limit. Since then, however, the sky has fallen.

His driver became his worst enemy. His short game, long the model for youngsters to emulate, got loose. Too loose.

He scuffed chips. He missed

many makeable putts. He started missing cuts regularly. He stopped winning. He stopped even contending.

So how long would this slump last? ‘He’ll be back’ was the common theme among Golf Channel analysts, who spent hours trying to pinpoint Spieth’s problems - and possible solutions.

The height of Spieth’s woes may have happened at the recent U.S. Open at Winged Foot in New York, where Spieth shot 73-81. Only 12 golfers in the 144-player field were worse.

The second round featured nine bogeys, one double bogey and eight pars.

An NBC broadcaster said Spieth admitted he was “lost.”

Still, he hasn’t given up.

“I’ve got a lot of years in front of me and hopefully the best years in front of me,” Spieth told GolfWeek. “I’ve worked my butt off over the last year mentally, physically and mechanically. Things will start to come together.”

Ranked first or second in the world for most of 2015 and 2016, Spieth ended the 2019 calendar year ranked 44th. He had fallen to 67th when the U.S. Open started and likely a few places lower based on his inept performance.

Spieth is only 27 years old and some believe the biggest problem he’s having isn’t with his swing or his putting, but between his ears. Perhaps spending a few hours on a psychoanalyst’s couch instead of banging balls eight hours a day might get him back on track.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2020

We will be putting together a special Fire Prevention Week edition on October 5.

If your business would like to help sponsor this section, please call Barry at 306-460-7636 or Kate at 306-671-0242.

Kerrobert Cemetery projects The volunteer Kerrobert Cemetery Committee is currently in the middle of an important project that has them placing a red maple leaf at each veteran / RCMP grave site to commemorate their service to our Country. It is adding to the beauty of our cemetery and part of their on-going improvement plans. Residents are encouraged to visit the cemetery to see what has been done and notify us if someone has been missed.

The cost of this project is $3000. If you wish to make a donation to assist with the costs, please call or drop off at the Kerrobert Town Office (306) 834-2361, and specify the project to ensure the funds are directed accordingly. As well they are also finishing off the first phase of lifting /straightening headstones. Any and all donations are appreciated in both projects.

Hi Kate, I can hardly wait to get my mail Monday morning and your wonderful newspaper.

If asked my favourite piece, I would say “ Just a gal from Glidden.” Your honesty and story telling take me from tears (reminiscing) to laughter, to gratitude (for living in the best province) and round again!!

I chuckled when you daydreamed about the ol’ Kerrobert Library. My daydreams started, because my M&D have their home on 4 lots for sale in Kerrobert, and since you like older character homes; well I’ll say no more - your “best friend” wouldn’t be happy with me !!!

I just Love “Your West Central Voice.”

Kerrobert Swimming Pool to benefit from $5000 donation

The Kerrobert Recreation Board has received a generous donation from the Tiny Tot Playschool who closed their doors last year after serving the community for many years.

The current Executive, Madison Dommett, Anna Bakanec and Trina Charteris (missing from picture) met last week to present a cheque for $5000 for future improvements at the Kerrobert Swimming Pool.

This money was raised from years of fundraising and dedication from Playschool staff and families and it will now help to secure a future of fun for our families at the pool.

RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT - Margaret Irwin I have served as the Trustee for Subdivision #1 since Sun West started in 2006, and before that, I served on the Eston-Elrose School Division Board of Education since 1999. That is a long time, and although I have enjoyed it, the time has come for me to step aside, and so today, I announce with mixed feelings that I will not seek re-election to the Sun West Board of Education.

I want to recognize some of the people who made the experience on the Sun West Board so memorable.

Working in the community to advance education to help students and their parents was the most gratifying. I will never forget the graduations, the awards nights and Christmas concerts as well as School Community Council meetings and the many community engagement sessions I had the privilege to attend.

I had the honour of working with an amazing group of board members and senior leaders who always wanted the “best for the kids.” I feel humbled that I was able to play a role in helping in the great strides we made in education in Sun West.

I also feel confident as I leave the Board that Sun West is in very good hands. I want to extend best wishes to my colleagues and friends on the Board as well as to my successor as they continue to work together for success for all.

Blair Wozniak Certified Home Inspector

Inese texted me that she was recovering from recurrence of a high fever and cough. She had endured a bout of the flu previously with high fever and days of malaise. Now the fever had recurred, but she was not complaining.

She was grateful. She and her family were spending several months learning natural remedies that require no medications.

Thus, as a patient herself, Inese experienced healing without drugs. One of the primary therapies is hydrotherapy (water treatment), and she marvelled at its effectiveness in alleviating her distress.

It is right to marvel about the incredible importance of water: Outside the body: • Water treatments stimulate blood flow and hasten healing of many ailments and leave no undesirable after effects. In the late 1800’s hydrotherapy was a major method of treatment at sanitariums. Books contain the simple treatments that are still effective.

• Inside the body: Keeping hydrated by drinking plenty of pure water daily is imperative for good health. Our body is about 80% water. Only a few benefits of water: It lubricates the joints; boosts skin health and beauty; cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues; helps maintain blood pressure.

• Water is a “Universal Solvent” and is essential to any cleaning process where a liquid is involved. Water is the foundation of cleaning in nearly every cleaning product.

Ancient wells provided water that had to be drawn up daily. The illustration of the spiritual aspect of water is a theme throughout the Bible. One unnamed woman of Samaria, because of her shame and disgraceful life, timed her visits to the well when others were not drawing water. One day she met Jesus at the well, and He gave her hope of a new pure life when He told her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:13). In her delight she shared this concept of the inner cleansing of Jesus Christ with others who listened to her and also believed.

Many today who appear physically whole are suffering from drinking from polluted springs, spiritually corrupted, fevered with the malady of a sinful life. The application of living water is still relevant for healing body and soul. Scripture speaks of the deadly results of resisting Jesus, the source of the living water:”all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.” Thankfully, the invitation still rings out in the very last chapter of God’s book,”Let him who thirsts come, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17) Marsha and Russ Stevens penned an invitation and response in a contemporary song: And Jesus said, “Come to the water, stand by my side, I know you are thirsty, you won’t be denied.

I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried, And I strove to remind you, It’s for those tears I died.

Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul, I know that without God I’d never be whole, Saviour, You opened all the right doors, And I thank you and praise You from earth’s humble shores.

Take me, I’m Yours”

Obituaries

Ron Schlosser January 7th, 1944 to September 17th, 2020

OLSON – Marion Olson went peacefully into the embrace of her Lord and Saviour September 10, 2020 after living with cancer for 16 years.

She was born May 25, 1942 to Hilda and Raymond Wagner in Eatonia, Saskatchewan. She attended school in LaPorte and Eatonia, doing very well with her studies. She continued her education at the University of Saskatchewan in the College of Arts and Science and College of Education, Saskatoon Business College and Business Administration through the Community College.

Marion and Ron were married June 29, 1962.

They taught two years in Milden, SK, then Ron went back to university for two years before the family moved to Kindersley in 1967. They were blessed with three daughters and one son.

They maintained a busy life of raising their family including helping on Marion’s parents’ family farm.

A servant at heart, Marion was devoted to people through her involvement as a volunteer with many associations

Ron passed away on Thursday September 17th at the age of 75 at the Saskatoon St. Paul’s Hospital. He was loved and will be remembered by everyone whose lives he touched.

Ron was born on January 7th, 1944 in the Kindersley Hospital and grew up in Marengo with his parents and 2 brothers. Up until his passing, Ron was known for his kind (and sometimes stubborn) heart. He was

an incredibly loyal friend to those who had the pleasure of knowing him, and always had a way to make people smile.

Ron was predeceased by his parents George and Monica Schlosser, his brother Donald Schlosser and his partner Deneen Joe. Ron is survived by his only daughter Rhonette (Chad) Clark and his brother Clarence (Lorraine) Schlosser. He is also mourned by his 2 grandchildren Andrew

and Charles who were the apple of his eye. Also, his aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews will miss him dearly.

Ron was very well known in the Kindersley area, and operated Sinclair Taxi for many years.

He will be remembered, and missed by many of his friends in the community.

Ron is now at peace and in the arms of the Lord.

including, and not limited to, St. Olaf Lutheran Church, Kindersley and District Arts Council, and Kindersley Music Festival Association. In 1988, Marion was honoured by being one of eight recipients in the province to receive the Saskatchewan Volunteer Recognition Award for her efforts in relation to the Kindersley Music Festival Association. In the local elementary and high schools, she accompanied class singing as well as individual musicians for festivals.

As an office administrator from 1981 to 2006 at the high school, she was an inspiration to countless numbers of staff and students. In everything she did, the DOING was the reward and she expected nothing in return.

Ron and Marion started an Amway business in their later years, which Marion continued after Ron’s passing, enjoying the opportunity to get to know and serve even more people in the community.

Marion was the coolest grandma, ziplining and driving ATV’s in Mexico, skydiving, baking with and for the kids, spending hours on highways to be at many of their special concerts and events.

She cherished every grandchild and considered all children as treasures.

During Ron’s many hospitalizations, she recognized a need for care of the caregiver as well as the patient and was a participant in the devel-

opment of the Palliative Care unit at the Kindersley Hospital.

Marion was a community-minded individual, always ready to chat with her neighbours. Everywhere she went was her opportunity to visit with anyone she knew or had yet to meet. In hospital or around the community, she was known for her kind words of grace and inspiration.

She enjoyed baking, birdwatching, gardening, quilting, sewing, and preparing school kits for Canadian Lutheran World Relief, functions at church including directing and accompanying junior and senior choirs, leadership in the church women’s group, times of community fellowship with music and food, and singing with the community choir.

Marion loved her Lord and her family, and prayed regularly for each family member. Marion was predeceased by her parents Hilda (Hoffman) and Raymond Wagner; her loving husband Ronald on May 13, 2013; her sister Marlene Harksen.

She leaves to mourn her children Vivian (Robert) Wagner of Kelowna, Damaris (Glen) Crawford of Edmonton, Sharon (Brian) Wirth of Ottawa, Tim Olson of Calgary; grandchildren Rebecca and Kristina Wagner;

Adam (Eliza), Jeffrey (Kieran) and Gregory (Alexandria) Crawford; Jacob & Julia Wirth; Andrew, Lauren, Alyssa, Ethan and Alexander Olson; sister Beatrice (Ron) Scott , brother Vernon (Jackie) Wagner; sistersin-law Alice (Horst) Hennig, Matilda Olson, Evelyn Olson, Olga Klassen, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, godchildren and many friends.

A private Celebration of Life Service was held September 13, 2020 at St. Olaf Lutheran Church, Kindersley.

Officiated

by Rev. Scott Kopperud. Kindersley Funeral Home was entrusted with funeral arrangements. Due to the current social distancing regulations the family regrets not being able to share the grieving process with the community and many more family members. A link to the recording of the service can be found in Marion’s obituary at www.kindersleyfuneralhome.com or by clicking here Marion Olson Funeral A special thanks to the health care community, friends and family who have supported us during this difficult time.
