Obituary of Maureen Rita Garand
MAUREEN RITA GARAND
Passed away peacefully September 17th, 2020 at the age of 83 years. Maureen was predeceased by her loving husband of 52 years, Peter. Leaving to mourn her 2 sons and 1 daughter; Roger Garand, Philip Garand, Michelle "Cookie" ( Brian Mindiuk), her grandchild Mathew Garand, and her sister Frances Lutz. Maureen was also predeceased by her brother Joe Vorachek.
Maureen was born the second of three children to her parents, Ben and Catherine Vorachek. She was raised on a farm at Leask, received her education at the Convent in North Battleford, Bramshott and Leask Schools. Maureen married Peter at the age of 16 in 1955, and came to live at Iroquios Lake at the farm Peter purchased from Bill and Joyce Malyk.
Maureen loved her farm, raising sheep, cattle and pigs and also tending her garden. Her time was spent helping build their dream of having a resort. They held barn dances on Saturday nights which were a big hit. Then there was the house boats which were rented out for many years. She loved to attend Church when she was able and enjoyed her BINGO nights.
Maureen loved to fish and hunt and take people out on her deck boat which she was always the captain, others tried but to no avail. Anybody that went to visit always got to go for a ride on her deck boat and to go fishing or touring the lake. Maureen will be sadly missed by many.
A private Family Graveside will be held at a later date.
