Delce Berglund passed away suddenly, but peacefully at Moosomin Union Hospital on October 12, 2006.
She was born to parents Nicholas and Hermina Caroline Schneider on January 31, 1917 in Wisconsin. Shortly after, the family relocated to Kennedy, and then to Coeur-de-laine, Idaho. Her mother passed away in Idaho at a very young age, leaving her dad with four young daughters. For the next few years, the four children were cared for by family members in Wisconsin while their dad returned to the family farm in Kennedy. Shortly there after, he was able to bring his daughters to their Kennedy home, where they all grew up.
Mum and Dad were married in January 1937, and lived on the family farm until they retired to their home in Kennedy in 1962. Mum enjoyed many years of traveling and camping with us and also traveling on holidays with her sister Stella. A daily morning coffee break with her friends was always looked forward to for many years.
Mum was master of all crafts - sewing on her Singer sewing machine, knitting, crocheting, etc. We all treasure her many gifts of tablecloths, bed spreads, blankets and doilies.
Delce’s life long dream came true when she moved to Winnipeg, to study nursing - graduating with her L.P.N. in 1960. She started work at Whitewood Hospital and spent 21 years there. Until her demise, she recalled with fond memories many interesting stories about her work and her life long friendships she made.
In 2004 Mum moved to Sunrise Villa in Maryfield and lived there until her passing away.
Delce is survived by her loving daughter Beatrice and son-in-law Jack of Brandon. Also surviving, are her two precious grandsons and their families. Cameron, daughter-in-law Andrea; granddaughters Courtney Caroline and Kiah-Jane of Vernon BC; Kevin, daughter-in-law Andras, Nicole and Owen of Winnipeg; Sister Stella Aasen of Winnipeg and many nieces and nephews and cousins in USA. She was predeceased by her husband Pete in 1984, two sisters Isabel and Loretta, her parents and infant brother.
Funeral services were held in the Kennedy Catholic Church with Father Strohhofer officiating. At Mum ’s request, cremation took place and she was carried to her final resting place beside Dad, by her grandsons Cameron and Kevin. Grandson Cameron gave the eulogy and granddaughter Nicole recalled fond memories of her great grandma.
Michael Rey of Tubmans was in charge of funeral arrangements. If desired, donations may be made to Sunrise Villa, Box 183, Maryfield, Sask S0G 2S0, or a charity of your choice.
