Martha (Anne) Nyuli of St. Benedict, SK, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2015, at St. Paul鈥檚 Hospital, Saskatoon, SK. Martha was born on July 26, 1941, at home on the farm near Spiritwood, SK, the fourth of twelve children, to Elie Orosz (Csobad, Hungary) and Elizabeth (nee Miskolczi) Orosz (St. Laszlo District, Prud鈥檋omme, SK). Seven years after Martha was born, a move was made to the farm in the Prud鈥檋omme district where Martha completed her schooling. After school, Martha took up hairdressing which she continued for many years. Martha met Edward Nyuli of St. Benedict and they were married on July 7th, 1962. For the first five years, Martha and Ed headed east to Brantford, ON, to work in the winters to supplement the farm. In 1964, a new house was built in St. Benedict which was home until 1976 when the house was sold and the family moved out to the farm, three-and-a-half miles west of St. Benedict. The grain farming operation quickly expanded to include a wide array of farm animals including horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, and ducks. Martha鈥檚 strong will and amazing work ethic which was passed down from her parents, helped the farm to prosper throughout the years. Martha will always be remembered for her amazing culinary skills which fed many a hungry mouth. She cooked many traditional Hungarian dishes that were always much anticipated. Over the years, the Nyuli farm became a gathering point for celebrations and festivities with friends and family and many cherished memories were made there. One thing about Martha is that if she wanted something, then it was going to happen. Martha鈥檚 strength and perseverance was evident in the years after Edward passed away as she fought an up and down battle with Lymphoma for over 10 years, refusing to give up or give in. She will be forever missed by all who knew her. Martha will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her five children and eight grandchildren: Twyla (Dave) Voisey, Saskatoon, SK, [Morgan, Colton, and Drew]; Paula (Rick) Lessmeister, Spiritwood, SK; Anita (Grant) Gardipy, Rosthern, SK, [Cassidy and Paul]; Scott Nyuli, Salt Spring Island, BC; and Grant (Jenny) Nyuli, St. Benedict, SK, [Amber, Edward and Emily]; 11 brothers and sisters; and by numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Elie and Elizabeth (nee Miskolczi) Orosz; husband, Edward Nyuli; and by three sons in infancy, Edward, Elie, and Louis.
