It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Yvonne Dupuis (née Pelletier), born February 16th, 1926 in Duck Lake, SK. She died peacefully at the Lakeview Pioneer Lodge in Wakaw on Monday, July 1st, 2019. Mom was best known for keeping everyone in stitches: both for her wonderful seamstress abilities, her sharp wit and keen humour. Her love of music was apparent as she loved to dance and would “crank up” the radio when she heard her favourite songs. Always so young at heart! Mom adapted well to farm life after marrying Gaston in 1952. She excelled in keeping daily records of canola grain market prices. She was always at the ready to coordinate all farm-related matters, such as delivering meals to the field (including her infamous homemade bread), chauffeuring to and fro and manning the phones and radios. Her family meant the world to her. In her last years, she especially enjoyed the family celebrations at the farm. The family would like to thank the Lakeview Pioneer Lodge for the wonderful care they provided to Yvonne. Yvonne leaves to mourn her passing and cherish her memory, her children and their families: Marilyn (Roger) Topping – Ryan (Lynne) and children Kaylee, Katelyn and Khloé, Devan (Kerri), Brennan (Courtney), and Tysan (Rayelle); Allyn (Cathy) – Tawnee and Kristy; Faye (Larry) Dupuis-Styre – Brittney (Ben) and children Grace, Olivia and Kelsey (Chris); Doran (Anita) – Derrick (Mikki) and Kelly (Jessica) and child Harlynn; Laurel Dupuis – Jordan (Katelyn);  Patricia Dupuis & Robin (Vivian) – Melanie, Brittney (Taylor) and Chelsea; her sisters: Denise Freed, Aline Jeffries, Angella Russell and Annette Martin; her brother, Lawrence (Maryanne); her sisters-in-law; Hilda Pelletier and Marianne Pelletier; her brother in-law Bob Sperling; as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Yvonne was predeceased by her husband Gaston, her parents Ferdinand and Josephine (Mahé) Pelletier, her step-mother Simone Pelletier, her brothers: George, Andy, Tony and Henry; and her sisters Marie Pelletier and Doris Sperling. Donations in memory of Yvonne may be directed to the Lakeview Pioneer Lodge. A private family service will be held with Internment to take place at the Prince Albert Memorial Gardens. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Marc Blondeau of Kushneryk Funeral Service, Wakaw, SK, 306-233-4403.
