Sylvia Wilma Beth Standbrook (Weran). January 18, 1942 - January 11, 2016. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia. Left to cherish her memory is her loving family; Husband Wayne, daughters Darcie (Peter) Kzyzyk and Misty (Denis) Lavertu, her beloved grandchildren Greyson and Brynn Kzyzyk and Presley and Braxon Lavertu, brothers Louis (Paulette) Weran, Garry (Karen) Weran and sisters Darline (Jim) Ramsay and Kelly Baudot, numerous nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, cousins and brother-in-law Grant (Joy) Standbrook. Sylvia was predeceased by her father Stephen Weran, brother Darle Weran, sister-in-law Susan Weran and father and mother-in-law Harry and Phoebe Standbrook. The celebration of Sylvia鈥檚 life, officiated by Rev. Frances Patterson, was held at Battleford United Church on Friday, January 15th, 2016. 听Shared family memories were presented by Sylvia鈥檚 daughters and grandchildren. Sylvia will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by her family and many friends - friends she met through 40 plus years of selling Tupperware, 20 plus years of holding her annual Kaiser tournament and many fun filled evenings at the Gold Eagle Casino with her 鈥淔ill em Up鈥� and 鈥淟et it Ride鈥� buddies. We will always remember her hugs and kisses, her words of encouragement and most of all, her unconditional love. She loved her grandchildren with all her heart and lived to spoil them. They were the lights of her life and she was their loving Grammie. Interment took place at the Town of Battleford Cemetery.

Grammie,
God looked around his garden
And found an empty space
Then He looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God鈥檚 garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
We love you, Grammie.
