SHEPHERD, SHARON

September 23rd, 1940July 14th, 2023 crocheting, knitting, and Bridge. She had a very close circle of Bridge player friends, and several other dear friends, supporting her to the end. She was a great planner of things and loved to arrange family reunions and friendly get-togethers. Family vacations to ski destinations, Disney World, and Hawaii were just a few but the family and friends she cultivated were her biggest treasures in life. She touted everyone’s accomplishments as though they were her own. She was so proud of her family and friends. Some of her favorite memories were spending summers at the cabin at Buffalo Pound Lake surrounded by loved ones and she always spoke about and cherished those moments.

With heavy hearts the family of Sharon “Dianne” Shepherd (née: Mackay) announce her passing on Friday, July 14th, 2023, after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s. She was predeceased by her parents, Duncan and Juanita and in-laws, Robert and Myrtle. Dianne will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Andy; daughter, Jamie (Clayton); sons, Robert (Karin) and Scott; and grandchildren: Ben (Julie), Alex, Rebecca, and Calli. Dianne was born and raised in Moose Jaw, SK where she met and married Andy on May 6th, 1961. She graduated as a Lab Technician from the Moose Jaw Providence Hospital in 1961.

Dianne was a lab tech at the Calgary General Hospital until Jamie was born in 1962. Following that the family moved back to Saskatchewan where Dianne continued to work as a lab tech for many years. Rob was born in 1964.

Dianne had many friends and what people would say about her most often was “She’s the kindest person I’ve ever met”, “She’s the nicest person to know”, “She’s such a sweet lady”. She will certainly be remembered mainly for her profound kindness, willingness to help others, always being there for you in troubled times, supporting many community initiatives, and her years of participation in her church, St. Aidan’s. She was always the supportive mom, spectating and cheering all her children on. Scott was born in 1978 and this kept Dianne busy with teenagers and a new baby!

Dianne volunteered her time to the organizations she was passionate about such as Hunger in Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw Kinettes, where she was President from 1976-1977. Dianne has always had a big heart for helping others and was especially concerned about displaced newcomers to our country and took the grandmotherly role in helping young refugee families. She also enjoyed working for Evans Florist for several years.

In Dianne’s later years, Parkinson’s began to take its toll but she fought this disease with grace, courage, and strength unlike anything we have seen before as a family. She was an encouragement and inspiration to us all that hope is eternal.

The family would like to thank everyone for their unwavering support of Dianne over these last few

Palliative Care Program, and especially all of Dianne’s phenomenal caregivers but special thanks to her “girls” Sylvia and Beckie. She will be dearly missed by all.

A Celebration of Dianne’s Life was held on Wednesday, July 19th, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at St Aidan’s Anglican Church, 1247 1 Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK. The Reverend Doctor Dean Pinter and Deacon Arleen Champion co- name may be made to Parkinson Canada, 2103 Airport Dr #110B, Saskatoon, SK S7L 6W2 or to Hunger in Moose Jaw, 269 Stadacona St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1Z4. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Ellis, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome. com

Tactile

I like reading books. And I like to read printed copies rather than electronic manuscripts. I have a small library of hardcover books and paperback novels in my home. I regularly borrow books from the Moose Jaw Public Library. I get pleasure out of the tactile experience of holding a book in my hands and reading words on paper pages.

Tactile means of, relating to, or being the sense of touch. It refers to things being perceptible and experienced by touch.

Tactile has many relatives in English, from the synonymous tangible to familiar words like intact, tact, tangent, contingent and entire. All of these can be traced back to the Latin verb tangere, meaning “to touch.” Tactile was Latin adjective tactilis meaning tangible. Tangible means capable of being perceived by the sense of touch, substan- use the expression, “Her grief was tangible.” It also means capable of being appraised at an actual or approximate value. The old coin he found hidden in his grandfather’s drawer had tangible value. appears to be developing for tactile. It is increasingly used to suggest that something visual is particularly reminiscent or suggestive of a certain texture. Also, computer touch screens provide a tactile encounter for the user.

Something that’s tangible can be touched. A rock is tangible, and so is a broken window; if the rock is lying next to the window, it could be tangible evidence of vandalism. When we say that the tension in a room is tangible, we mean we feel it so strongly that it seems almost physical. But if we’re being literal, tension, like hope, happiness, and hunger, are intangible, they can’t be touched but are real. When lawyers talk about an intangible asset, they might mean something like a company’s good standing, very valuable, but not touchable.

Tactile is also related in meaning to corporeal. In various religions, including Christianity, corporeal existence is often termed the opposite of spiritual existence. The word is also used by philosophers, especially when considering the nature of reality. For lawyers, corporeal describes physical property such as houses or cars, as opposed to something valuable but nonphysical like a good reputation.

I remember an incident at a party when I was in highjoying a cast party at a farmyard of one of the actors. He maintained that the loft in the old barn was haunted by the ghost of a long dead suicide victim. There was something particularly strange about that old barn and some of the party goers claimed that they saw something shining in the loft later that night. However, at no point did it seem there was a spectre of tactile reality.

In literature and journalism there are ways to elevate your writing using various types of imagery. Tactile imagery engages the sense of touch. It describes what you can physically feel, such as temperature, movement, texture, and other sensations. A gust of cold air blew over out of his sticky, sweaty clothes and let the cool, soothing water wash over him in the shower. The dog yelped after stepping on a prickly burr, and then I almost yelped when I yanked it from his paw and the prickles pierced this Fall. I am considering renewing it in electronic form, but I do enjoy the tactile sensation of holding the paper copy as I read through the articles. What a dilemma, satisfy my love for the tactile sensation of reading or save a tree.
