Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Lyle Mund announce his passing. Lyle went home to be with the Lord on November 18th, 2021 at the age of 81 years.
Lyle Gottlieb Christian Mund was born in Saltcoats, SK on May 9th, 1940. Having lost his own father at age two, he had a special relationship with his grandfather, Peter Sjoquist, spending his summers farming alongside him on the family farm. He attended Dressler and Thingvalla schools, then Central Collegiate in Regina, and Grade 12 at Scona Composite in Edmonton, AB where he met the love of his life, Margaret (Lockhart).
In 1962, Lyle and Margaret and their eldest two children moved out to the Mund family farm in Churchbridge, SK, where over the following years they added another three children to the family. He farmed (grain and cattle) full-time as well as worked at the potash mine in those early years. Lyle could not completely retire when he sold the land, instead he continued on as a hired farm hand until age 79. He had a special understanding of horses and could lead his herd anywhere without needing a bridle.
Lyle enjoyed spending time with family and friends; he made family time a priority and loved having his grandchildren spend their summers out at the farm. He and Margaret also enjoyed trips to visit grandchildren in Ontario and Alberta. In recent years he enjoyed traveling to Yuma, Arizona, where they enjoyed hiking in the desert and daily visits with friends over coffee and fresh baking.
He served in many volunteer positions including Church of God treasurer for 26 years, Gideons, Credit Union Board, Churchbridge Co-op Board, Churchbridge Recreation Board, Langenburg Hospital Board, School Trustee, and Lion’s Club.
He was predeceased by his parents Mildred (Sjoquist) and Gottlieb Mund.
Lyle leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 62 years, Margaret and their children Graeme (Donna), Laureen (friend Tom), Brent (Vivian), Leiflynn (Murray), and Leigha; their grandchildren Michael, Braden, Madeline (Bruce), Merredith (Steven), Sara (Kohlton), Anthony, Amalie, and Estelle; and their great-grandchildren Kai, Cahli, Vannah, Adaleigh, Brucie, and Maxence; his beloved sister Valerie Mund (Mike); his cousin Wilfred Mund who was like a brother to Lyle; his nieces and nephews; and many dear friends and relatives.
