Ina Mae: celebrated life for 87 wonderful years passing very peacefully on October 27, 2014, at Battleford's Union Hospital. Ina was married to Wally for 60 years, a mother for 58 years to her adoring  children Debbie (Victor Proctor), Barry (Barb), Doug (Brenda), Bonnie (Leigh Redding), David (Barb), (honorary son  Perry McIvor) a extraordinary grandmother  for 39 years to adoring grandchildren Kristy, Christianne, David, Devan, Drew, Cody, Nikki, Amanda, Breanne, Bailey, Dane and Chad and an amazing great grandmother for 16 years to great- grandchildren Matthew, Macy, Andrew, Jessika, Anaka, Nathaniel,  Jackson, and Blake. Ina is survived by her older sister Ruth Blight (Ontario),  niece, Mariam Robinson and God child, Marilee Risling and their families as well as other nieces and nephews. Mom became an RN in 1949 and continued to nurse for 40 years; the majority of which were at the Battleford's Union Hospital and after retiring in 1989 worked closely with Dad in the family corner store business. Mom was always active in the church and became even more active after retirement. Mom and Dad volunteered with Meals on Wheels and Mom loved opening the senior centre for the Friday card games as well as volunteer for Battleford Union Hospital Foundation for many activities. Mom was very special in the fact she made each one of the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren feel as they were her favorite (she had a very special gift to do this) and we all know we were! Mom (Nanna D) choose to provide childcare for her honorary grandchildren, Mason Slabaida and TJ Omelchenko. She was always the caregiver willing to help. Mom you'll be missed dearly by everyone. As an expression of celebration, donations may be made to either Zion Lutheran Church or The Battleford's Union Hospital Foundation. A celebration of life was held at Zion Lutheran Church on Saturday November 1, 2014 at 2:00 PM. Interment to follow at a later date.
