It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Debbie Oliver who passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on April 20, 2012. She will be greatly missed by her children, Brittney (Mark) Fawcett and Jayden Soroka, her grandchildren Ireland, Lochlan and Sawyer, her parents Wally and Joyce Oliver, her partner Rod Sydenham and many close relatives and friends. She will always be remembered as a joyful daughter, mother, amma, sister and friend. We are very sad that she is no longer with us, but feel so blessed that we had her in our life. Debbie had many fond memories of growing up with her brother and sisters on their farm near Colgate. She was blessed with amazing parents, which in turn blessed us with an amazing mom. Debbie always saw the good in everything and was a ray of light in the lives of everyone who knew her. She loved to just sit and talk with her family, go for coffee with her kids, and travel with her partner. She shone the brightest with her grandchildren who knew her as Amma and shared a very strong bond with her two children. To us she'll always be brave. Even though her life was short she would not want us to mourn her passing but celebrate the life she lived. A celebration of her life was held on Wednesday April 25 at 1:30 p.m. at Grace United Church, Weyburn with Rev. M. Barnabas and Pastor Craig Moeller, officiating. A private family interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. Thank you to all the doctors and staff at the Regina General and Pasqua Hospitals, Oncology and Palliative Care Centers for all they did to make Debbie's time there as comfortable as possible.
