It is with sadness we announce

Beatrice Isabel Thul (née: Ludvikson) passed away on Monday, July 24th, 2023 at Pioneer Lodge in Moose Jaw, SK with her family by her side.

Beatrice was born near Glaslyn, Saskatchewan on April 26th, 1937, to John and Grace (Kellogg) Ludvikson, and was the sixth of ten children and grew up in the Glaslyn area. After school she followed her sister Myrtle’s footsteps and began work for the Saskatchewan Government Telephones in Marquis, Saskatchewan. It was here she met and married Ray Thul. Ray, Beatrice and their 2 sons, Richard and Michael, remained in the Marquis area, farming and living on Ray’s parent’s home quarter, then moving to Marquis for many years until eventually moving to Moose Jaw after Ray retired from farming. Beatrice was an excellent homemaker, cooking, cleaning, sewing, gardening, canning, the list goes on and on. She also worked at Valley View Care Center as a housekeeper when the boys were younger. In her “retired” years she worked with Michael at his store for years enjoying the customers, attending trade shows with Michael, and in general the downtown community. Bea loved family times, preparing and cooking meals cards at the kitchen table. She also mastered a variety of crafts, too many to list, but some of them include and in her later years at Westpark Village she enjoyed painting.

LAMBERTON, DOROTHY ADA ANN

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of Dorothy Ada Ann Lamberton, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and sister-in-law. Dorothy passed away on July 2, 2023. She was born on December 28,1938 to Ada and Gordon Robertson in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1960 after teaching in Hamilton, she ventured west, where she taught elementary school on the Armed Forces base in Comox, British Columbia.

In 1962 she met and soon married Neill Lamberton. This began a new adventure as they moved to other bases across Canada and Europe. During this time she raised two sons, had many career changes and willingly volunteered her time in her communities. At the end of their military life, they returned to Vancouver Island. yard were a joy to see! She had many close friends in Courtenay, across Canada and as far away as Ethiopia. Her kindness, caring nature, generosity and smile was felt by all who knew her.

Dorothy was predeceased by her parents, her son Scott, her sister Bernice and her two brothers Bill and Jack. Dorothy will be sorely missed by Neill, her husband of 61 years, her son Neill Robert of Moose Jaw, daughterin-law Ilona of Cobourg, Ontario, sisters Joyce and Kay of Hamilton, Ontario and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her ‘outlaws’ as she lovingly referred to Neill’s siblings and their families. They loved her dearly and will miss her. Our kind and gracious lady is gone from our midst but never from our hearts!

If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Red Cross Society, or to a charity of your choice.
