White, Ethel
The family of Ethel Ellen White, known to her friends and family as “Lenny”, sadly announce the passing of their mother on the morning of May 2, 2013 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home, Yorkton, Saskatchewan with family present.
Lenny was born on May 17, 1924 at Milner Ridge, Manitoba to Joseph and Mary (nee McKee) Nejedly. She was the middle child in a family of three and was predeceased by her parents as well as her older brother, Melvin and younger sister, Lois.
Her father worked as a surveyor for the Government of Canada, a job which took him all over Western Canada. Lenny’s mother worked at many jobs as the children grew up.
After High School, Lenny went to Washington, DC for a short time and worked as a secretary. She returned to Canada, where she met and married Louis Falardeau, and raised a family of three. After Louis’ sudden death, she took up a full time secretarial position with Saskatchewan Government Insurance in Regina until her retirement.
Shortly after her retirement, Lenny met and married Frank White, a farmer from the Davidson area. Once in Davidson, she worked at the Davidson Nursing Home. She and Frank also enjoyed travelling to many places in North America during their time together. She made many friends there who she continued to keep in touch with after leaving Davidson, following Frank’s death.
Lenny then made Saskatoon her home until February of 2012. While in Saskatoon, she enjoyed pursuing her love of music by attending many concerts with her son, Roger and by singing with the Western Development Museum Singers for about three years. She always enjoyed visiting with friends and family in Saskatoon, Regina, Davidson, Calgary, Vancouver and Yorkton.
In February of 2012, Lenny moved to Aspen Bluffs Villa in Yorkton and with changes in her health, came another move to her final residence at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home.
Over the years, Lenny always enjoyed music, learning new crafts, involvement with church choirs and participating in Rebekah Lodge.

Peddle
Murray Winston Peddle
May 20, 1943 – March 18, 2013
It is with great sadness and some relief that we announce the passing of Murray Winston Peddle on March 18, 2013.
Murray was the best friend and husband of Shirley and together they have three children Michelle, Kevin and Wanda. Murray was born on the family farm outside Cupar on May 20, 1943. He was the youngest child born to George and Ethel. He was a precious blessing to his parents and his brother John, who was 22 years old when his baby brother was born. As a child Murray was an excellent trumpet player and often played O’ Canada for the radio broadcasted hockey games in the area.
Murray and Shirley met in grade one at the Cupar School and they were together for 64 years at the time of his passing. They were married on July 28, 1962 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last summer. They began their married life in Regina, where their daughter Michelle was born in April of 1963. Then in the next 16 months came a move to Radville and then Shaunavon where son Kevin was born in September of 1964. They followed this with a move to Melville, and finally in December of 1968 they moved to Craik where their daughter Wanda was born in January of 1972.
In making the move to Craik to become the General Manager of the Co-op, Murray, at age 26, became the youngest General Manager in Saskatchewan Federated Co-op history. During his time with the Co-op, he was a part of many building projects and expansions. The new grocery store and offices, the key lock at Girvin and storage additions to the lumberyard are just a few of these projects.
In 1980, Murray and Shirley built and started Peddles Place at the Craik Regional Park. It was here that Murray earned the nickname “the Candy man”. After eight years they gave the building to the park and it continues to provide candy, ice cream and food to the campers and swimmers.
Murray and Shirley opened the Prairie View Restaurant in 1988. People came in for Shirley’s good homemade cooking and in winter months a good game of crib with coffee. After the closing of the restaurant, Murray went to work at the Husky in Davidson. He also worked as caretaker of the Manor and as a bookkeeper for various community clients. He continued to work until illness forced his retirement in 2008.
Murray was a member of the Craik Curling Club for many years, the Golf Club, Town Council as well as a great announcer for many, many fastball games.
Murray was predeceased by his father George on April 23, 1978; his brother John on July 29, 1978; his mother Ethel on April 24, 1979 and five infant siblings.
Shirley will greatly miss her “Mur”, as will his children Michelle and husband Henry, and their children Sarah and husband Devan, Kane, Joseph and wife Sarah, and David; Kevin and wife Joy, and their children Kandis and husband Grant, Jordan, and Jesse and fiancée Jessica; Wanda and husband Shawn, and their children Shaelyn, Brittney and Sydney; his great-grandchildren; brother and sisters-in-law; nieces and nephews and friends.
It is a great comfort to us to look around and see the footprint of Dad’s life in the people and places we see every day.
