Elva Fiessel (Thorsteinson) passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Sunday, May 9, 2021 at the Brightwater Senior Care Living Home. Left to honour and remember her are her children and their partners and children, Kevin (Kristal Zwarych and her son Matthew), and Wanda (Randy Ludwig) as well as many nieces and nephews and their families. Elva was predeceased by her parents; brothers Lawrence and Skuli; and sisters Yvonne Moore, Gwen Kerr, and Ivy Brasseur. Elva lived a wonderful life. She was a happy, social woman and a terrific mother. She lived in her house in Coronation Park until she was 89 years old and was a regular on the city bus - traveling to the Northgate mall every Wednesday and Friday for coffee with her friends. On Tuesday and Thursday, she was always found at Mount Olive Church playing crib, whist and shuffleboard with her card-loving friends. She loved to play cards and looked forward to it every week. Elva also loved dogs and cats and they in turn all loved her. All pets were rewarded with an immense variety of treats when they arrived at Elva’s place! The family would like to thank all the staff, as well as friends residing at the Meadow Edge House in Lumsden, SK. for all the care, support, and friendship they provided our mom while she lived there. The family would also like to thank the staff at Brightwater Senior Living for the excellent care and compassion provided for the brief time Elva spent there as a resident. A special thank you to Dr. Winston Lok (Garden’s Medical Clinic) for being Mom’s family doctor for many years and Nurse Bonnie at Brightwater Senior Living for her wonderful care and compassion as Elva’s life came to an end. Our mother requested that there be no funeral and in her words “I do not like funerals and I don’t want to make anyone go to one” so to comply with her wishes, no funeral will take place. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Leslie Cemetery, P. O. Box 35, Leslie, SK S0A 2E0, or to the Regina Humane Society.
