Melanie Edith Buchholz (Metz)

It is with great sadness that we the family announce the passing of Melanie Edith Buchholz (Metz) on June 22, 2016. Melanie was born June 20, 1946 in Regina, Sask., and continued to live there during her education and clerical work at the Catholic School Board. In 1974, she met and married Edward Buchholz, who became the love of her life. After marrying, Melanie moved to a grain farm outside Davidson, Sask., where they were blessed with twins, Lorena and Paul in 1975 and another son, Marc in 1982. Melanie and Edward farmed for the next 30 years until Edward’s death in 2005. Melanie continued to live in Davidson and then moved to Wakaw, Sask., for the last five years to be around her children more. Melanie adored her two grandchildren, Lily and Luke. She devoted her whole life to making a welcoming and loving home for her husband and children. She was greatly loved, adored and cherished and this profound loss will linger in our hearts.
