It is with great sadness that the family of Helen “Nellie” Brad announce her passing on Thursday December 29, 2022 at the age of 98. She is survived by and will be dearly missed by her son Robert (Mona) Brad, daughter Judy (Claude) Lang and daughter Linda Kotlar, sisters Margaret (Walley) Bazarkiewicz and Sheila Schmick, 7 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren and numerous brothers and sisters in law and nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Peter Brad (1970). Nellie was blessed to have had a long and healthy life. She was born in Scotland and was proud of her Scottish heritage. She was a teacher, a farmer, a homemaker, and most of all a gardener. She took immense pride and pleasure from her yard and garden in Leask. She never missed going to “coffee row” with her lady friends at the restaurant. She “retired” to Saskatoon in 2015 at age 90. She liked to be independent and always did her best to adapt to her changing circumstances. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and always had an interest in how they were doing. A Funeral Service will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, January 6, 2023 at St. Henry’s Catholic Church in Leask, Saskatchewan. Arrangements entrusted to David Polzen. The family is extremely thankful to the staff at Samaritan Place for the exceptional care she received there for the last two years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Samaritan Place or Kinsmen Telemiracle.
