SCOLLAR, ELLEN D.

August 4, 1953 – March 19, 2023

Ellen D. Hall was born in Jansen Sask. on Aug. 4, 1934, the eldest of seven. She was raised and educated in Craik. After working at the grocery store in Craik and telephone office in Regina, Ellen married Sterling Schollar July 16, 1953. They moved from the Ross Exelby farm to SW10-24-29 in 1955 where they are now.

Ellen, having worked alongside her parents, carried on the routine with her husband. Sterling and Ellen raised their family of four on a self-sustaining farm. Ellen worked as a waitress and cook in restaurants, completing her career as cook at the Craik Health Centre. Ellen was always busy, helping as a Sunday School Teacher, involved in 4-H, a member of the hospital auxiliary and helping in the community whenever asked. Ellen also enjoyed neighborhood birthday club, card parties, and bus tours.

Ellen was a hard worker; everyone was important and no one ever left the farm hungry. She loved her 13 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. Grandma made many lunches just in case someone got hungry on their way home. It is said that some lunches were eaten before Aylesbury. So many special memories, which Ellen held very close.

Ellen was predeceased by her husband of 67 years on April 5, 2021. A graveside Celebration of Ellen’s Life Funeral Service was held on Friday, March 24, 2023, at Craik Community Cemetery in Craik Sask.

Glen Elmer Mason

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Elmer Mason on Wednesday, August 3. 2022, at the age of 87.

Glen was born on April 18, 1935, in Davidson, SK, to Elmer and Leona (nee Riecken) Mason, who both emigrated to Canada from the United States. He met the love of his life, Phyllis McFadden at a square dance in Saskatoon. Phyllis was a nurse who had relocated from Nova Scotia and had hoped to marry a farmer. They married on July 26, 1969, and settled on a farm east of Davidson, where they stayed for many years until moving into town.

Dad farmed in the Davidson area until his retirement. He actively volunteered with many local organizations throughout his life and was always willing to help out family, friends and neighbours. He took many trips to Washington State to visit his son Robert and Robert’s three daughters and also spent time with Allan and his family near Saskatoon. Restoring Minneapolis Moline tractors and collecting and showing replica tractors were hobbies that Glen enjoyed very much.

Glen is survived by his two sons, Allan (Jocelyn Ainsworth) and Robert, four granddaughters: Kennedy, Camryn, Paige and Avery. He was predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Phyllis, his parents, Elmer and Leona, and his sister, Lenora. He will be remembered by many Riecken cousins and friends in the Davidson area.

A service in Davidson and interment in Girvin Cemetery will be planned for the future when more family can attend.

Deanna (Dianne) Brundage July 2, 1940 – July 31, 2022

Mom passed away peacefully on a sunny July 31st summer day – fitting for a woman who always viewed life with a positive lens. Never to complain or fuss, she faced life’s challenges with grace and dignity.

Left to mourn her is her loving family: husband of 63 years Rod – Hanley; daughters Debbie (Barry) Foy – Prince Albert; Kathy (Mark) Zdunich – Kenaston; and Karen (David) Roden – Saskatoon. Mom leaves a legacy with seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

As per mom’s wishes, no funeral will be held. The family will celebrate her life at a private family gathering.

The family wishes to thank the many doctors who took excellent care of Mom during the past 20 years; but especially the staff, care aides, nurses and doctors at the Davidson Long Term Care Home which was mom’s residence for the past 22 months.
