Mr. Arthur Michael Nieman, 84 years of Lake Lenore, passed away on July 22, 2011 at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, with his family at his side. Art was born on January 1, 1927 at Lake Lenore to Frank and Magdalen (nee Musty) Nieman. He grew up there, attending Lake Lenore School and then St. Peter's College for his grade 12. Art ventured out to Hamilton, ON for a short time but it wasn't long before the call of the land brought him home. He began a lifelong career as a grain farmer, truly loving his chosen career. On November 6, 1950, Art married Olga Kowalyshyn. They lived in Lake Lenore, where they raised their family of five children. Art was always a sports fan, playing a variety of sports when he was young, coaching his children when they were playing and in later years, watching sports on TV. He enjoyed golfing, playing on the local courses as well as many others while on vacation. Their family enjoyed an annual trip to Waskesiu and he and Olga visited various warm destinations in the United States. Art was also a member of the Lake Lenore Lions Club for a number of years. He was proud of his family and loved spending time with them and always looked forward to time spent with his grandchildren. Art and Olga were very proud to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary, this past November, and to have their entire family present for the celebrations. Art will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years, Olga Nieman of Lake Lenore; their five children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild: Judi (Peter) Hubert of Swift Current; Gwen (Bob) Flottorp and family Angela (Jason) Kelly and daughter Eva and Bobby Flottorp, all of Regina; Paulette Nieman of Ottawa, ON; David (Reneé) Nieman and family Luke Nieman and Anna Nieman, all of Lake Lenore; and Cheryl (John) Miller of Saskatoon and family Dayna Miller of Toronto and Danielle Miller of Saskatoon; two brothers and one sister: Donald Nieman of Victoria, BC, Douglas (Arlene) Nieman of Humboldt and Doreen Douglas of Texas; and by numerous nieces and nephews.
