It pleased God to call our dear sister Edwina Hepp to be welcomed
into eternal life on May 13, 2013.
Elizabeth
Christine was born on Dec. 2, 1924 to Julia (Schneider) and Anton
Hepp in their home near Bruno. Growing up in a family of 13 on the
family farm meant that Elizabeth learned to work hard from an early
age. She attended Sunlight country School and at 17 years of age
entered the Convent of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Elizabeth in
Humboldt, SK receiving the name Sr. Edwina at the time of her
acceptance to the Novitiate. She pronounced her temporary vows in
May of 1944, final vows in 1947 and celebrated her 65th
anniversary of religious profession 2009.
In the community
Sr. Edwina was a willing helper wherever she was needed but worked
mostly in the kitchens of the various places the Sisters served. In
1969, after obtaining her grade X she received her certification in
commercial cooking from SIAST in Saskatoon. Even in retirement at
the Motherhouse, Sr. Edwina found many tasks where she could still
help. She described herself as enjoying all her years of work “I
did all for the honour and glory of God”. Her favourite pastime was
“visiting” family and friends and the Sisters in the infirmary. She
lived with joy, gratitude and enthusiasm for life, warming all by
her beautiful smile. In the last few years, Sr. Edwina was cared
for by the Sisters of St. Joseph and the staff at St. Joseph Home in
Saskatoon.
Sr. Edwina was
predeceased by her parents Julia and Anton Hepp; her sisters Eva in
childhood, Sr. Laurentia Hepp OSE, Mary Kraus, Juliana Froess and

Ann
Stroeder
January 9, 1922 - May 8, 2013
A grand lady has
left this world, showing strength, dignity, and a positive demeanor
till the very end. Ann was born in Lake Lenore, Saskatchewan and
worked in Fort San, SK and Tranquille, BC before settling back in
Lake Lenore with Ed to raise their family. In 1966 they moved to
Esterhazy where Ann managed the Sears catalogue office until her
retirement. Shortly after that she relocated back to Humboldt and
did a good deal of the traveling she'd always dreamed of, including
trips to Europe, Israel, and Australia. In 1990 Ann made her home in
Edmonton. Living in her own house, she was an avid gardener who made
her home a frequent destination for family and friends, and her yard
a haven for countless birds. A voracious reader who completed
crossword puzzles from start to finish without pause, Ann was always
interested in and informed about the world around her. Music was one
of her greatest pleasures and her home was often filled with sounds
of operas, symphonies, and favorite singers. Predeceased by her
husband, Ed (1988), daughters JoAnn (2006) and Kathy (2011), Ann
will be deeply missed by her sons Ed (Nora) and Tim (Adele), and her
daughter, Clarice (John). Her grandchildren were a source of joy and
they will always be grateful for her love, wisdom, and sense of
humor. Heartfelt thanks go to all the people who made the Mel Miller
Hospice at the Edmonton General a place for Ann to 'finish well'.
Donations in Ann's memory may be made to the Edmonton General
Hospital Palliative Unit 9Y, 11111 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5K
0L4. A traditional Roman Catholic St. Pius X Requiem Mass was held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at Malinoski & Danyluik

Mary Cadman
December 25, 1948 - October 4, 2012
It
is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mary (Jane) Cadman,
née Schreiner on October 4, 2012 at Grand Forks, B.C. Mary was born
on Dec 25, 1948 in Humboldt, SK, third daughter to Lawrence and
Hedwig Schreiner. She was raised on the family farm, attending
elementary school at Burton Lake School and high school at Humboldt
Collegiate Institute. Mary attended university in Regina for one
year but circumstances did not allow completion. It was to her
regret that Mary did not achieve a university degree but that did
not stop her from achieving success in her chosen career in
Information Systems. Starting out as an analyst assistant in data
processing, she completed her career in Information Systems as an
Applications Development Manager for a resource company. Mary and
Robert married in 1991. After surviving treatment for breast cancer
very shortly after their marriage, they sought a quieter life style
away from the city of Calgary and bought an acreage near Carbon, AB
where they resided for 14 years. Mary was much involved in the
community, devoting thousands of hours to the preservation of one of
the few remnants of Carbon’s history, the Farmers’ Exchange
building. Mary and Robert retired to Grand Forks from Calgary in
2007 and Mary very much enjoyed her time here. She became actively
involved in the Grand Forks Guild Connection, the Sunshine Quilters,
the Boundary Spinners & Weavers, and the Focus on Fibre Association.
Mary had a great love for the arts, performing, visual and literary.
She loved to create things, particularly in fibre. Mary was an
adventurous quilter, knitter, weaver, rug hooker, spinner – to her
chagrin she left with many fibres yet unexplored. She discovered
weaving and spinning since she came to Grand Forks and enjoyed them
enormously. Mary treasured her time with her grandchildren. In the
summers Mary and Bob spent time at the lake, camping, cooking and
exploring British Columbia with her grandsons. Mary looked forward
to every visit and phone call – her time spent with her
granddaughters and grandsons was precious. All were outfitted in
Mary’s hand-made garments and quilts. Mary enjoyed travel but
travelled primarily in North America. In 2007, she happily achieved
a goal of seeing Australia. She enjoyed visits to see family and
friends in the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Mary jumped in with both feet,
pursuing things passionately and optimistically. She was always sure
it could be done in less time and with less effort than everyone
else thought so she generally made it happen! She volunteered at
many things over the years. Her most passionate volunteer project
was working on the restoration of the Farmers’ Exchange Building in
Carbon, AB. Things that shaped Mary include her special birthday,
growing up on a farm, attending a one room school, anyone who said
there was something she could not do, being one of six daughters,
her experience with cancer, and those she met because of it. Mary
leaves behind her husband of twenty years, Robert Cadman of Grand
Forks; daughter Tanya Krueger (Brian Asmundson) of Yellowknife, NT;
grandsons Roman and Carson Asmundson; son Robert Kossick
(Jacqueline) of Edmonton, AB; granddaughters Danaea and Cayley
Kossick; step-sons John (Amy) Cadman of Calgary, AB, and Michael
(Nancy) Cadman of Canmore, AB; grandson Olin Cadman, sisters Annette
(Bill) Krayetski of Prince Albert, SK, Ayesha (Didier Petrus)
Schreiner of Montreal, SK, Eileen Woodham of Humboldt, SK, Donna
Schreiner of Regina, SK; and ten nieces and nephews. Mary was
predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Hedwig (Kloppenburg)
Schreiner, sister Lorraine Hartmann, and brother- in-law Richard
Woodham. A graveside service for Mary will be held on Saturday, May
11, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery,
Humboldt. A gathering for family and friends will follow at the
Bella Vista Inn. Local arrangements entrusted to Malinoski &
Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt (306-682-1622).

Joseph
Sterner
March 6, 1932 - April 7, 2013
The death of Mr. Joseph Sterner, 81 years, of
Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake and formerly of Lake Lenore,
occurred on Sunday, April 7, 2013. Joe was born on March 6, 1932 at
home on the farm in the St. James district to John and Katherine
(nee Aschenbrenner) Sterner. He took all of his schooling at
Leavenworth School and being the oldest boy in the family, also had
many responsibilities on the farm. Joe worked at numerous jobs in
his younger years, including logging in Manitoba, working at Quaker
Oats Mill and rough necking on an oil rig. On October 18, 1955, Joe
married Anne Stolte in St. James and they began their married life
together, living in Lake Lenore. Joe began working as a truck
driver and gravel-crusher operator for Kirsch Construction in Middle
Lake and over the years worked his way up to a foreman. He remained
with the company until his retirement in 2011. Both Joe and Anne
enjoyed curling in their younger years and in later years, watching
it on TV. He was an enthusiastic sports fan, attending games and
cheering on many local teams in hockey, baseball and basketball; as
well as the Humboldt Broncos and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Right up to the present, he followed sports and could be found
discussing them with others at Bethany. He was a member of St.
Anthony’s Knights of Columbus. Joe was never a person to sit still,
he was always on the go, driving around and stopping to visit people
everywhere he went. He had a love for good food and always
appreciated a tasty meal and whoever had prepared it for him. Joe
had a sharp memory, taking interest in others, including the staff
at Bethany and asking about their families and activities. Because
his family lived farther away, he’d keep in touch with them by phone
and his first question was always about how the pets were doing.
Following Anne’s death in 2011, Joe remained living at home for
awhile and then eventually moved to Bethany Pioneer Village, where
he lived until the present. He enjoyed the many visits he received
from his children and grandchildren, siblings and many friends. Joe

Mario
Couros
May 8, 1930 - March 26, 2013
The sudden
passing of Mr. Mario Couros, 82 years of age, occurred at his
residence on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 in Humboldt. Mario was born on
May 8, 1930 to Mihali and Konstandina Kourogiorgas in Astros
Kynourias, Greece. His formal education came to an abrupt end in the
second grade when schools in Greece were closed near the beginning
of World War II. At the age of 14, Mario joined the volunteer Greek
Army and fought against Greek Communists who were attempting to take
over Greece. In 1950 he was drafted into the regular Greek Army.
During his three years of service he attained the rank of corporal
as a military policeman. After his honorable discharge he decided to
go on an adventure. On December 14, 1957 Mario arrived at Pier 21 in
Halifax, was processed and was put on a train that landed him in
Regina five days later. Arriving with $15 in his pocket and not much
else other that the light clothing he was wearing, the winter
weather was a shocking surprise! His first job took him to Moose Jaw
where he was a dishwasher. After four months, he moved to Saskatoon
where he was first employed at Golf’s Restaurant on 2nd
Avenue. While a salad maker there, he spent most of his off-time
working with the chef to learn the trade, without pay. He soon was
promoted as a chef at Golf’s. On November 12, 1959, Mario married
the love of his life, Mary (Kalomira) Bezbes, in Saskatoon. Shortly
after they were married, Mario & Mary moved to Swift Current to run
a restaurant. Eleven months later, they came back to Saskatoon where
Mario worked as a chef at the Executive Hotel and Golf’s Steak
House. In August of 1966 Mario and Mary moved to Humboldt where they
leased the Pioneer Motor Hotel restaurant with their partners, Chris
Papagiorgeou and his wife Sophie. The days were long, many being 18
hours, and sometimes to regain his energy, Mario would have an
afternoon nap on a piece of cardboard on the storage room floor. In
December 1972, Mario’s dream of owning his own restaurant
materialized with his purchase of the Ohio Café on Main Street. The
business, Mario’s Steak and Pizza House, flourished. This became a
family business with everyone helping when needed. Mario took pride
in his food, and people still talk about his pizza, steaks, ribs,
and the famous ‘Greek Club’. After he sold the restaurant, Mario
found he had a creative streak. He spent time in his shop working on
art projects like woodworking and stain glass. He also loved the
challenge of taking things apart and putting them back together. He
was a lifelong learner, so he made sure he was the first to get a
new electronic gadget. He thoroughly enjoyed the last gadget, his
iPad. Mario was a very social, giving and caring person who assisted
at fundraisers and was always ready and willing to help and have a
few laughs. In the last years of his life, Mario joined the Royal
Canadian Legion Humboldt Branch #28. Mario volunteered tirelessly
for the organization and on January 23rd, 2013 was awarded the Life

their heritage. After the passing of his only brother, he realized
the importance of siblings and wanted his children to always love,
support and stay bonded with each other. His life was complete when
the grandchildren started to arrive, which made him very so very
happy and full of pride. His grandkids absolutely loved being around
their papou, and this time provided Mario with some of the happiest
moments of his life. The Mario’s Restaurant trademark will always
remain special in the community of Humboldt. Mario will be lovingly
remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 53 years Mary Couros of

Lawrence Eichinger
May 19, 1944 - January 31, 2013
It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Mr.
Lawrence Francis Eichinger 68 years of Humboldt on Thursday, January
31, 2013 at Humboldt District Hospital surrounded by his family
after a courageous battle with cancer. Lawrence was born in Bruno
on May 19, 1944 to Joseph and Theresa (Boehm) Eichinger, the 4th
child in a family of 12. Lawrence took his elementary education at
Wilfred School and then, in the early 60’s, he finished three years
of high school at St. Peter’s College in Muenster. In 1968, when
his parents retired to Bruno, Lawrence took over the family farm.
He later worked as the desk clerk at the Arlington Hotel, then at
the new Pioneer Hotel. After a two-year absence from Saskatchewan,
he returned to work in Humboldt, this time for Canadian Propane Ltd.
until it closed. After that he worked for S. Ilg Construction,
building houses for 11 years. Lawrence met a girl named Agnes
Grimard, from Prud’homme, who was the love of his life. Lawrence
and Agnes were married on June 30, 1979, in Prud’homme. The
newlyweds settled on Lawrence’s farm. He had been raising purebred
Black Angus cattle for 11 years. In 1982, after three years on the
farm, they decided to build a new house in Humboldt and move there.
A short time later they sold their farm. Lawrence and Agnes were
blessed with three children Lori Anne, Christina and Timothy. In
1986, Lawrence started a job at Midland Glass Ltd., a job that he
held for nearly 16 years. Due to company cutbacks, this job came to
an end. Lawrence and Agnes loved dancing and attending Polka Fests
in the area. In more recent times, Lawrence has returned to his
country roots, working on some farms in the Lake Lenore area. He
really found it difficult to leave his farm back in the 1980’s. So
he thoroughly enjoyed his time back in the country. He would say,
“Life can be good when you can spend your days out in the open air
among the grain fields, prairie meadows and the wetlands of central
Saskatchewan.” When Lawrence was semiretired, his hobbies were
willow weaving and hooking rugs. He loved to read, especially
history books, and had a passion for history. Later Lawrence began
to work for the Star Phoenix delivering papers. No matter what the
weather conditions were as long as the papers got to Humboldt, your
paper would be at your door at a regular time in the early hours of
the morning. He was a very committed and responsible person.
Lawrence’s heart was broken on September 25, 2011 when Agnes passed
away. Lawrence found his life alone very lonely and continued to
keep busy with his paper route. He also enjoyed visiting with his
neighbors. Lawrence will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by
his three children and one grandson (born Jan 27, 2013): Lori Anne
(Mark) Dunne and son Toby, of Moose Jaw; Christina Eichinger and
Timothy Eichinger both of Saskatoon; eight sisters: Theresa
Hessdorfer of St. Benedict, Mary Weiman of Saskatoon, Elizabeth
(Chris) Molnar of Melfort, Lucy Hagen of Kelowna, BC, Rosanne

and by members of the Grimard family. Lawrence was predeceased by
his wife Agnes Eichinger (2011); parents Joseph and Theresa
Eichinger; brother Tony Eichinger (2012), brother-in-law Everard
Hessdorfer (2005) and nephew-in-law Paul Besset (2007). A prayer

Cecilia
Seufert
July 30, 1920 - January 20, 2013
The peaceful passing of Cecilia Seufert, 92
years, of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake and formerly of St.
Benedict, occurred at her residence with her family by her side, on
Sunday, January 20, 2013. Cecilia was born on July 30, 1920 to
George and Barbara (nee Baumann) Martinka of St. Benedict. She
obtained her education at the Rock Valley School. Following her
schooling Cecilia worked in the area helping families with domestic
duties as so many women of her era did. On April 26, 1938 she
married Alphonse Seufert at St. Benedict. Following their marriage
they headed to Ontario and worked for a couple years and then
returned to the St. Benedict area and took over the Seufert
homestead. Together they were blessed with three children. Cecilia
was a true homemaker at heart and loved to create wonderfully tasty
dishes for her family such as: wild duck soup, homemade noodles,
cream smothered chicken along with many other German dishes that her
mother-in-law taught her. She was an excellent seamstress and was
always up to date on fashion. She was always dressed well and loved
to decorate and redecorate her home. Her passion for flowers was
very strong. She always took pride in beautifying her surroundings
either indoors or out with a variety of flowers. Her father was a
musician and passed that gift on to Cecilia. She played in a
marching band and loved to play the accordion and the electric organ
in her later years. After Alphonse passed away in 1971 Cecilia moved
to Saskatoon. There she enjoyed city life, her many friends and
activities as well as travel between her children’s homes. She next
moved to Bethany Pioneer Village in May 2009 where she remained
until her passing. Cecilia will be lovingly remembered and sadly
missed by her three children, 10 grandchildren and seven great
grandchildren: PRISCILLA (Denis) Thibault of Winnipeg, MB and
