Mom married Anthony Mardell on February 6, 1946 and had a wonderful marriage of 59 years until his passing January 4, 2005. They were two hardworking pioneers building a beautiful life on the farm. Mom took great pride and joy in lovingly caring for her family. She was the person who would just keep helping, feeding, and taking care of people without resting or eating until you could convince her everyone was fine! She enjoyed cooking and experimenting with recipes and the family always enjoyed the delicious end result. When she was able, in the summer time you would find her in the garden tending to vegetables and flowers. Here are a few words to best describe this special lady- strong, kind, selfless, nurturing, welcoming, forgiving, patient, extraordinary, and generous. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 with Celebrant Reverend Father Roque Concepcion, at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, 260 – 25th Street East, Prince Albert, SK.
