Sincere sympathy is extended to Marcelle Peterson and family on the death of her husband Benny on Dec. 5 at the age of 82, at the Redvers Long-Term Care Home.
He was predeceased by his parents, Alfred and Johanna; brothers, Eldon and Donald; sister, Myrtle Parkinson; brothers-in-law Ted Parkinson, Harvey George, Raymond George and John Mate; and sisters-in-law Armande George and Janine Mate. Benny is survived by his wife Marcelle, children Michelle (Reg) Needham, Bob (Deanna), Joanne (Brad) Longphee and Tracy (Kari); eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, as well as his sisters, Bernice (Bob) Health, Beth George and Carol (Paul) Weger, and sisters-in-law Glennis Peterson, Mary-Ann Peterson and Lorraine George, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral service was held Dec. 11 at the Redvers Roman Catholic Church with internment at Dannevirke Cemetery and a fellowship luncheon followed at Alida Hall.
Some members of the Peterson family who were home and attended the funeral.
Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan returned home on Dec. 8 after spending approximately 12 days holidaying in Florida and Minot. They visited the Universal Studios and other sites while in Florida in an early Christmas trip that was very much enjoyed.
Some local ladies met at the hall on Dec. 12 and decided to get busy and make some homemade pumpkin pie. They made 35 pies and all of these pies have been baked, purchased and I’m sure have been or will be enjoyed by the purchasers.
Later they may just decide to make more pies, probably in the New Year, if there’s enough interest. Please call Shelly at 306-485-7023 if you are interested in receiving some pies.
