The memorial service will be held in the Grenfell Apostolic Church, Grenfell, SK on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor David Wicks officiating. Interment to follow in the Grenfell Cemetery.
Magnus was born on August 11, 1928 on the farm near Oakshela, SK. He took his education in the Oakshela School and worked on the farm with his mom and dad until he started farming on his own in 1949 next to his dad’s farm.
On June 24, 1951 he married Alvina Motz in Vernon, BC and they made their home just one mile south of Oakshela where they farmed and lived until 1975 when they moved to Grenfell, where they have resided since. In 1980 he retired from farming.
He was on the town council for a few years until he ran for mayor in 1986 and stayed on as mayor until 2003. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, playing pool, playing cards, bowling and the fellowship at the coffee shop and the apostolic church. He led a very active life until his heart attack in 2017. After that his health just slowly declined until his passing.
Magnus was predeceased by his parents Louis and Elizabeth Puffalt; sisters Elma Markwart and Helen Rithaler and his brothers: William, Herbert, Helmund and Edwin Puffalt.
He is survived by his loving wife Alvina; children: Reg (Judy) Puffalt, Bob (Lenette) Puffalt, Sandra Wruck and Teena (Wayne) LaRonge; many grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great great grandchild; brother Wilfred (Shirley Jeanne); sisters-in-law Martha Puffalt and Peggy Leah Puffalt and many nieces and nephews.
We would like to thank the staff at the Wolseley Memorial Hospital for all of the special care that they provided to dad in the last 3.5 months.
