Bernard Huculak
October 30, 1946 - February 3, 2012
It is with
great sadness the family announces the sudden passing of their
father Mr. Bernard Huculak, 65 years of Burr District on Friday,
February 3, 2012 at the Lanigan Hospital. Bernard was born on
October 30, 1946 to Peter and Lillian (nee Bay) Huculak in
Humboldt. He attended Pilot Grove School for his elementary
education and continued his high school education at the Lanigan
Central High School. After his schooling Bernard held several jobs.
His job at Schenn’s Farm Supply was the most rewarding as that was
where he met the love of his life Alvera Jaeb. They were married on
January 14, 1967. This union of marriage was blessed with four
children. Together they began the farm in the Burr District.
Bernard and Alvera were a phenomenal team. They could get more done
in a day than many in a week. Together they operated the farm with a
Butcher Shop on the side where they provided product for many people
in the area. This most definitely was a family operation as everyone
pitched in. During the winter, in the 1980’s, Bernard worked at
Muenster Meats and assisted his brother-in-law Ron and later his
nephew Dennis, driving a semi. When the children were young they
always made time for camping trips and visiting with extended
family. Bernard’s favourite time on the farm was seeding. He loved
to seed especially after he bought his air seeder. Bernard was very
committed to his faith and volunteered as a cantor for 25 years at
St. Mary’s U.C. Wolverine Church. Although a very dedicated hard
working farmer Bernard always made time for a good steak on the fire
with Alvera and the rest of the family. Work was important but
family was the most precious to him. He was the happiest with all
his family surrounding him on the farm and watching the
grandchildren play. Bernard always made the farm fun for the
children and they loved coming to spend time with “Dede”. On
December 7, 2009 his heart was broken by the passing of his love
Alvera and he missed her dearly the rest of his days. With her
passing he had to take on new challenges which he succeeded in such
as: gardening, cooking, preserving dill pickles and continuing in
the Butcher Shop. Bernard loved to visit and always had a good joke
that brought a smile to many people. Bernard’s smile and caring
personality will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his four
children and six grandchildren: DEAN (Alyson) Huculak and family,
Nolan and Shayne of Lanigan; LISA (Ryan) Morningstar and family,
Kelsey, Jayden and Cally of Lockwood; BRAD (Kim) Huculak and
daughter Everlee of Lanigan and RHONDA Huculak of Saskatoon; Four
sisters and one brother: Dolores Leedahl of Humboldt; Theresa
Huculak of Saskatoon; Bernadette Huculak of Wadena; Donalda (Ed)
Bracke of Saskatoon; and Gordon Huculak of Jansen; Parents-in-law

Glenn (Kathy) Jaeb of Fernie, BC; Carol (George) Morneau of
Chilliwack, BC; Garry (Theresa) Jaeb of Edmonton, AB; and Neil Jaeb
of Vancouver, BC and numerous nieces and nephews. Bernard was
predeceased by his wife Alvera Huculak (Dec. 2009); parents, Peter
and Lillian Huculak; brothers-in-law: Ron Leedahl and Joseph Jaeb in
infancy. The Prayer Service was held on Monday, February 6, 2012 at
7:30 p.m. presided by Jenny Irwin with organist Dolores Hinz,
scripture readers Heidi Ascott and Glenn Jaeb. The Funeral Mass was
held on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. celebrated by Fr.

cross bearer Peter Huculak, scripture readers Ken Lenyk and Toni

and Rhonda Huculak. Honorary pallbearers were: “All those who knew
and loved Bernard”. Words of remembrance were shared at the memorial

Church Humboldt. Interment will follow at a later date. Memorial
donations in Bernard’s memory may be directed to St. Mary’s U.C.

Sr. Sida Hrabchek, OSE
July 15, 1936 - January 23, 2012
“I was hungry and you gave me to eat … I was
thirsty and you gave me to drink… I was sick and you cared for me”
these words inspired Sr. Sida throughout her life until her
unexpected death at the Humboldt and District Hospital on January
23, 2012. Sida Hrbachek was the eight child born to Andrew and
Caroline (Kubas) Hrbachek in Czechoslovakia. In 1937 the family
immigrated to Canada and settled on a farm in Mistatim, Sask. Sida
attended the Mistatim Elementary School and then applied to the
Sask. Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences in Saskatoon for the
Practical Nursing Assistant program becoming the youngest Nursing
Assistant ever to graduate. It was while working at St. Michael’s
Hospital in Cudworth that Sida met the Sisters of St. Elizabeth and
asked to be admitted to the Congregation as a candidate. She
received the name Sr. Pius of the Holy Eucharist at her reception of
the habit but later returned to her baptismal name Sr. Sida. On
Oct. 30, 1963 she pronounced her religious vows. She went on to
receive her high school diploma at the Humboldt Collegiate and her
Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Sask. All of
life, but nursing in particular was a service of love for Sr. Sida
as she attended to anyone in need and to patients in Cudworth,
Humboldt, LaLoche, Ile-a-la-Crosse, in the psychiatry department at
St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto or in Brazil where she served for
several years with the Abbacy Mission team. While working in
Northern Saskatchewan Sr. Sida was alone to deliver a baby in an
airplane and was told by the medical staff that she had a better eye
for diagnosing patients than many doctors. Her care extended not
only to those who were sick but especially to those who were dying.
She spent countless days and nights at the bedside of the dying be
it for family, friends, acquaintances or the Sisters with whom she
lived. In whatever convent she resided, Sr. Sida had a special care
for those who were suffering, sick or dying, carrying out her
ministry unobtrusively with patience, compassion and prayer. Sr.
Sida will be sorely missed by the Sisters of St. Elizabeth and her
family. In the community we remember her as a woman with a keen
sense of humor, many and varied talents and extremely hard working.
She loved to cook and bake, knit and crochet, listen to music and
play cards, garden and houseclean. Sr. Sida was very close to her
family taking a keen interest in all her nieces and nephews as well
as to the many friends she made wherever she lived - many of whom
received a phone call just last week. Sr. Sida also served as
general councilor for a brief period and two terms as general
treasurer, a position she held when she died. Sr. Sida is lovingly
remembered by her Sisters in community, her family Steffie and Len
Lahoski of Cranbrook, B.C., Peter and Margaret Hrbachek of Mistatim,
SK; Edith (Janzen) Hrbachek of Tisdale, SK; Emil and Agnes Hrbachek
of Tisdale, SK; Mary and Almer Wiesensel of Cudworth, SK; and
numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents
Andrew and Caroline Hrbachek; her brothers Frank, Steve, Paul at 17,
and Andrew as an infant; her nieces and nephews Clifford Hrbachek,
Sean Weisensel, Caroline Lahoski, and Elaine Huculak. The Funeral
Mass for Sr. Sida was held on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 2:00
p.m. at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, concelebrated
by Abbot Peter Novecosky, OSB, Fr. Daniel Muyres, OSB and Fr.
Bernard Stauber, OSB. Others taking part in the mass were:
crossbearer, Quinn Schulzky; scripture readers, Crystal Hrabchek and
Sherry Schulzky; prayers of the faithful, Lisa Wiesensel; and
offerings, Sr. Philomena Dobmeier, OSE and Sr. Viola Bens, OSE.
Honorary Pallbearers were “all those who shared in Sr. Sida’s
life.” Active Pallbearers were Andrew Hrabchek, Anthony Hrabchek,
Paul Hrabchek, Ward Wiesensel, Dean Wiesensel and Tyler Schulzky.
Interment followed in the Sisters of St. Elizabeth Cemetery,
Humboldt. Memorial donations in Sr. Sida’s memory may be made to
the Sisters of St. Elizabeth Health Care Fund. Funeral arrangements
entrusted to Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt (682-1622).

family grain operation which he was actively involved in until just
last year. On June 26, 1947, he married Margaret Biedler and
together they raised a family of three sons. The boys were all
called upon to help with the farming as they were growing up,

involved in their community and area, serving on the Board of
Directors for LeRose Lodge in LeRoy for 15 years and as a Trustee
for the Jansen School District for 20 years. He was an avid and
accomplished curler for many years, while in more recent years he
enjoyed the games on TV. Fishing and golfing were other pastimes
that he enjoyed participating in. Alvin enjoyed music, especially
the old time tunes and played the accordion. Although he enjoyed
many activities over the years, farming always took first place and
everything else was worked around that. Alvin will be lovingly
remembered by his wife of 64 years, Margaret “Peggy” Briske (nee
Biedler) of Jansen; daughter-in-law, two sons, six grandchildren and
three great grandchildren: Pamala Briske of Jansen and family,
Shannon (Jill) Briske and children Cassidy, Mason and Berlyn; and
