It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our grandmother and friend Nettie Ellen Thomas (Sturrock) born 15 January 1930. She passed away 2 September 2019 with family and friends by her side.
Nettie was working for Saskatchewan Government Telephones when she met Ivor. The two were then married in 1958 and settled on the family farm. In 1982 they moved to Assiniboia, SK, where Ivor built their home in which she lived in until recent.
During her life Nettie was involved with many things around the community and farm. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star; she volunteered at many different places and was always helping out her family, neighbors and friends in any way she could, including keeping the boys fed and in line around the busy farm life.
Nettie was also very active and loved to travel. She loved to go camping, fishing, bowling and golfing. She visited England, Alaska and the Yukon just to name a few of her many excursions.
Nettie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
