OBITUARIES
milestones
Merle George Chapman April 5, 1931 - November 7, 2015
Every life is a story. There are milestones that we can’t wait to share, while there are others that we wish we didn’t have to. These stages of life are an undeniable part of the human journey, and we invite you to share yours with us in our weekly Life’s Milestones.
Are you celebrating an anniversary or birth, or you’d like to announce your engagement? Is your youngest child graduating, or perhaps a colleague is retiring? Has a loved one passed away, or would you like to remember one in some special way?
CONTACT US TO ADVERTISE YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUE.
WEDDINGS Lanktree-Carew The parents of Clarke Lanktree-Dave and Terry of Vulcan, Alberta as well as the parents of Katie Carew-Paul and Marilyn, originally from Cornwall, England but currently of Cochrane, Alberta - are pleased to announce the marriage of Clarke and Katie at Cochrane, Alberta on September 27/2015. The newlywed couple currently reside at Airdrie, Alberta.
OBITUARIES Robert Armstrong Peet Robert Armstrong Peet, late of Weyburn, SK passed away November 10, 2015, at the age of 91 years. Robert was predeceased by his parents: John and Allis Peet; five sisters and two brothers. He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years Joyce; son Brian Robert (Margaret) Peet; daughter Deborah Dorothy (Mark) Pickard; daughter Cynthia Elizabeth (Mark) Beriault; son John Elwood (Bev) Peet; son Kevin Stanley Peet; daughter Dorothy Jo (Stuart) Cairns; 15 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; 2 brothers in British Columbia; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Robert will be remembered by many people. He served in multiple clubs and committees. While being a full time farmer he enjoyed whatever free time he had fishing, reading, camping, playing cards, and going to happy hour. He will be sadly missed. A Private Family Gathering will take place at a later date. Granddaughter Patti-Lynn: I don’t remember this one particular day, but I remember the man. It was a warm day in August, a few days after grandma and grandpa rolled in with their camper van as they did every fall. They would have brought cases of BC peaches with them on their journey from Kelowna and they would stay to lend a hand with harvest. On this day I was either pestering my mom to trim my nails or maybe mom was pestering me to trim them up. Grandpa Bob would have said, “bring that here and let me see.” I am positive there was a lot of tickling that happened during this pedicure. But what a great person, he would have worked in the hot sun all day and still had time to give his granddaughter the attention and love she needed. I will remember this man for being a hard worker; he certainly played a part in building my morale fabric. Good things come to those who work hard! But on top of being a hard worker he always had time for family. He adored his grand kids. Rest in peace Grandpa Bob. Condolences from Simonne: “What a wonderful man he was. I have such good memories of him. He was always there to help me out with my truck and trailer, as well as so many other things. Man could he pour a good rye and coke.” I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. You will miss him. Give your mom a big hug from me and tell her how much I love her. Hugs to you as well. For family and friends so wishing donations in memory of Robert may be made to the Village of Alida, ATT: Alida Rink (Memory of Robert Pete), P.O. Box 6, Alida, SK, S0C 0B0.

Merle George Chapman passed away at the age of 84 years in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, on Saturday, November 7, 2015. Merle is survived by his wife, Joan; children, Clay (Colleen), Connie (Robert) Matity, Leanne (Robert) Collins; siblings, Marj (Bud) Askin, Gary (Diane) Chapman, Rick (Marvin) Rolufs, Sandra (Mike) Evans; grandchildren, Kyle, Karla, Deanna (Taylor), Ryan (Kelsey), Leysa (Ian), Jonathan, Aimee-Lyn, Dana, Adam, Sherri, Jennifer; great-grandchildren, Elaina, Barrett; daughter-in-law, Bonnie. Predeceased by his son, David. Merle completed grade 9 in Arcola School before deciding to go farming with his dad. He knew a time to dance as he fell in love and, on October 26, 1955 in the United Church Manse, married Joan Olive Askin. They lived in Arcola at first and Merle drove a tractor back and forth to the farm. They moved to the Floyd Marsh farm in the fall of 1957. Merle rented this farm for 14 years before purchasing it. Merle and Joan had a family of four – Clay Anthony, Constance Louise, David Merle and Leanne Joan. In 1971 an addition was built to his father’s house and Merle, Joan and family moved to the George Chapman farm. Merle was a successful mixed farmer who turned his hand to everything from cattle and sheep to chickens and pigs. He always milked a cow and the family enjoyed fresh milk and cream as well as eggs. They were pretty much self-sufficient growing or raising their own meat and produce. One year he calved out between 50 and 60 head without losing a single calf! In addition to farming, he worked as a sheep sheerer and hail insurance adjustor. Merle’s green thumb wasn’t just limited to his farming operation. He was an avid gardener and was notorious for his insistence that, no matter how long they might be, rows must be STRAIGHT. If you didn’t do it right the first time, you might find yourself doing it over again. In addition to eggs, he sold corn and other garden vegetables locally. He also enjoyed growing flowers and exhibited grain, vegetables and flowers at the local agricultural fair. Even this year he grew his own garden with Clay’s help. As an accomplished farmer and gardener, he knew many times to plant as well as many times to reap. Merle was a dedicated community servant. He was on the Wheatpool Board, the Arcola Town Council, the Agricultural Fair Board – he worked the gates for many years, member of the Oddfellows, active in the local seniors’ center. He was a generous community supporter. As his children grew up, he supported their activities, coaching and umping ball. A dedicated family man, Merle was always present for graduations, convocations, baptisms, weddings, sporting events. When the grandchildren were little, he told them stories, making them up as he went along. Although he just had a grade 9 education, his math skills were the envy of those who had to reach for a pen and paper or calculator. Merle especially enjoyed holidays when all the family got together. He took his role as meat carver very seriously and woe betide anyone who tried to usurp the position! Merle enjoyed a variety of sports. He loved fishing and made several trips north to Jan Lake with friends and family. In his younger days he curled and worked as maintenance man for the local rink. He was an ardent supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Arcola-Kisbey Combines and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, not necessarily in that order. Clearly he was no fair weather fan and remained loyal no matter what. He held Roughrider season tickets for many years. He travelled many miles to watch the Arcola-Kisbey Combines play hockey. In the fall of 1995, Merle and Joan bought a home in Arcola. After retiring they enjoyed travelling. They took some cruises, made some bus trips and thoroughly enjoyed meeting and making new friends wherever they went. He especially enjoyed the Panama Canal cruise and going through the locks. Merle loved going to auctions, proudly bringing home many bargains that were just too good to resist, often to Joan’s dismay. He loved dogs and Clay’s dog Rudy recognized Grandpa’s truck and was always waiting for the dog treats that Merle carried just for him. Throughout his life, Merle experienced many “times to laugh.” Merle was a dedicated coffee row member and went at least twice a day to keep up with local news. They visited many different casinos and even after Merle’s license was restricted, managed to get up to the Bear Claw occasionally. Despite failing health this past year, Merle enjoyed three high points – his 84th birthday party on April 5th, Lisa’s wedding in Regina, and his and Joan’s Diamond anniversary in October – 60 years of marriage. In addition to the cancer that he fought successfully for many years, Merle was afflicted with Parkinson’s and this affected his balance. In June, Merle nearly died with a heart attack, but he returned home and resumed his role as Joan’s caregiver which he considered to be his responsibility and privilege. He and Joan moved into Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle and he continued to care for her as long as possible. As his own health declined, his frustration was not just with his own failing strength, but with his inability to look after Joan. The prospect of death did not worry him, but not being here to take care of Joan agitated and worried him greatly. His last days were shadowed because of this, but in the end, Merle left us peacefully. It’s particularly hard for us to leave this world when we feel that we have unfinished business. There is no doubt that life will be even more difficult for Joan without her lifelong companion and closest friend. But cancer is a relentless opponent and it makes no concessions. Merle lived a long, very full life. As a farmer and gardener he knew all about planting and nurturing seeds so that they mature, produce and died. Only then can the crop be harvested. Plants must die to bring forth seed for next year’s crop. He has achieved that final “time for peace.” THANK YOU A special thanks to the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, Arcola Home Care, Moose Mountain Lodge, Orsted Funeral Home in Carlyle, Reverend David Koshy and Reverend Michelle Moore, the United Church Ladies for the lunch at Prairie Place Hall, and all of our family and friends. The family of Joan Chapman
