The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to all members of the Martel family on the death of Nola Martel, late of Regina and formerly of Carlyle, who passed away on Nov. 25. Her memory will be cherished by her husband Kim, her sons Mitchell (Desiray) and Riley (Elizabeth), sister Linda (Daryl) Scorah, brothers and sisters in-laws Bob (Deb) Martel, Andy (Corinne) Martel, Ken (Therese) Martel, Kathy Martel, Gerry (Rosaline) Martel, Shirley Martel, as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents Ralph and Nadine Scorah and parents-in law Robert and Marian Martel. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
Sincere sympathy is also extended to Dorothy and Norm Desuatels and family on the death of her mother Mary-Louise Real (late of Estevan, and formerly of Fertile), on Nov. 26 at the age of 92 years at the Lampman Community Health Centre. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Rosemary (Cam) Hanna, Janet (Ken) Gray, Anita (Marc) Boutin, Dorothey (Norm) Desautels and Dell (Jeanine) Real, brother Vital (Elsie) Frecon, sister, Jeanne Saleski, 14 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. A private funeral mass will be celebrated at the Roman Catholic Church in Storthoaks with interment at the Fertile Cemetery.
On Nov. 28 Kelsey Rydberg and dogs from Estevan visited with her parents Shelly and Tim Cowan, sister Ainsley and grandparents Gray and Edel Cowan. They all celebrated a belated U.S. Thanksgiving supper together.
We are once again saying good-bye to another month and hello to a new one – December. Where does the time go? Pretty soon we’ll soon be at the end of another year, and I’m sure no one is going to be sad to see 2020 leave and then we can hope for nothing better but a very healthy new year. What with the outlook of a vaccine around the corner for COVID-19 we can all rest more comfortably, but in the meantime still be very cautious and obey the health rules, keep to small family gatherings only, keep a safe distance and wear your mask.
