Obituary: Baxter, Walter

Dr. Walter Nisbet Baxter
Nov. 29, 1929 — Feb. 18, 2016

It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of our father and grandfather at Central Haven Special Care Home.

Walter is survived by his children Ronald (Arlene), Roderick (Janet), Gavin (Louise); grandchildren Alexandra, Sarah, Nicholas, Luke (Brooke) and Zachary.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife Rhona; parents William and Anne (Nisbet) Baxter; his sister and brother.

Dad was born in Glasgow, Scotland and was a graduate of the University of Glasgow Medical School. He was a General Practitioner in England, B.C. and Saskatchewan, practising medicine for nearly 50 years. He enjoyed watercolour painting and spending time with his family.

The family would like to express a special thank you to the staff of Central Haven. Their care and compassion over the last 14 months greatly enhanced his quality of life.

A memorial service to celebrate Walter’s Life was held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 436 Spadina Crescent East, on Tues., Feb. 23, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Amanda Currie officiating.

Memorial donations may be made to either the Salvation Army or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan.
