Estella Elaine Dulle
(nee Luypaert)
February 15, 1925 – April 4, 2011
With a heavy heart, Robert Dulle, Estella’s soul mate of 67 years and her families announced her peaceful passing on April 4, 2011.
Estella was born in Davidson, Saskatchewan to Alphonse and Augusta Luypaert. Estella married Robert Dulle on October 23, 1944. They made their home in the Concord District where together they welcomed 12 children into their lives.
Estella made the most of the farm and garden bounty but took time to plant and enjoy her flowers. She loved to visit with friends, neighbours and loved many a card game. The more the merrier; the more family, confusion and mayhem, the happier she was! In 1975 Estella and Robert built a new home in Davidson, retiring from farm life. Estella was a member of the CWL, Davidson Senior Centre and the Red Hatters.
Predeceased by her oldest child, daughter Florence (1995), Estella leaves to cherish her memory husband Robert; daughter Eileen (Gordon), Davidson, Sask.; sons Ron (Audrey), Abbotsford, B.C.; Jim (Diane), Medicine Hat, Alta.; Jerry (Valerie), Craik, Sask.; Dennis (Vivian), Medicine Hat, Alta.; Wayne (Mona), Saskatoon, Sask.; Larry (Debbie) Regina, Sask.; David (Connie) Medicine Hat, Alta.; Randy (Lenore) Saskatoon, Sask.; Calvin (Tracey), Saskatoon, Sask.; Carmen, Medicine Hat, Alta.; son-in-law Lawrence McRae, Craik, Sask.; 27 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; brother Gerard Luypaert; numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and special friend Larry Felix.
Estella was predeceased by her parents, Robert’s parents, five siblings: Racheal, Herb, Michael, two infant sisters, and brothers- and sisters-in-law.
A service of remembrance was held on Friday, April 8, 2011 in the Sacred Heart Parish, Davidson, Saskatchewan with Rev. Father Gyim-Austin officiating. Hanson’s Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements. Interment will take place at a later date.
