Elizabeth “Betty” (Siroski) Rolheiser
September 1, 1950 — May 2, 2016

Family and friends of Elizabeth Rolheiser are mourning the loss of a mother, sister, aunt, teacher and kindred spirit. After a very brief but intense battle with cancer, Elizabeth went to her final rest on May 2, surrounded by loved ones at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon. She will be remembered fondly by those who shared in her life, though this profound loss will also linger in our hearts.

Elizabeth was born to Frank and Rita Siroski and was raised on the family farm east of Kenaston. Her bothers Robert (wife Cathy) and Murray (wife Della) as well as sisters Anne (husband Travis Alder) and Maureen (husband Dennis Rempel) as well as numerous brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews loved her and carried her in her hours of need.

Elizabeth took leave of her children Claire (husband Cameron Dyck), Tyler (wife Stephanie Dotchin), and Stephanie (husband Trynton Bowers), who will carry her legacy of love with them in their hearts. Elizabeth’s two grandchildren, Genevieve and Isabelle, will remember nothing but smiles, hugs and unconditional love. Elizabeth will find rest with those who have gone before her, including her husband Denis (deceased July 2009).

To all of her many dear friends, thank you for sharing in her journey and comforting her during the past weeks. Elizabeth was remembered on Monday, May 9 at a Funeral Mass at St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in North Battleford, Sask. The Battlefords Funeral Service provided the funeral arrangements.
