Wegner, Arnold Ted
January 31, 1932 –December 21, 2013
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Arnold Ted Wegner of Craik, Saskatchewan after a courageous battle of cancer.
Arnold was born on the Kinney Farm near Tugaske, Sask. on January 31, 1932. Arnold was born to Emil and Olga Wegner and grew up with siblings Arthur and Lesa. Arnold married Marieanne Schneider in July, 1956 and together they raised five children, Mark, Wanda, Glenda, Colette and Lorna. Dad’s path through life was farming, first alongside with his father and later with his son and grandsons. Dad enjoyed golfing, curling, card playing and his daily trips to town for coffee. Dad was an avid past member of Craik Lions Club. Camping trips to Emma Lake allowed Dad to reconnect with family and extended family and hit the greens at the Emma Lake Golf course.
Arnold’s memory will be cherished by his wife, Marieanne; son, Mark (Teresa) Michael, Brian and Stephanie; daughters, Wanda Harder (Brad) Wayd and Brittany; Glenda Sekulich (Darin) Janelle, Cory and special friend Sarah; Colette (Craig McCallum) and Lorna Hodges (Gary) Hayden and Quinn; and six great-grandchildren, Kaylee, Oaklynn, Rayleigh, Cohen, Damien and Gage.
The funeral service was held on Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 1 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Craik, Sask. Donations in Arnold’s memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Craik Community Cemetery Fund.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff and nurses of Craik and District Health Centre for the excellent care in the short time Dad was in the hospital.
