December 11 2024 résidant dans la province Saskatchewan pour le détail des funérailles.
It is with sadness that the family of Edith announces her passing on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at the age of 94 years.
Edith Gwendolyn Detta was born to Raymond and Mary Jane (nee, Nesbitt) Bowden in Uren, SK on February 28, 1930. Her parents ran the local store in the town of Uren, that was at the time a bustling place. She had many stories of those times including regularly racing the train across the tracks, as a ten-year-old, to load it with cream. At seventeen she went to normal school and less than a year later she was in the workforce when a lack of a teacher in the area forced her to cut her education short. She began her career teaching school to children who were not much younger than she was. She often said that they listened well to her until the recess bell rang. Then, the common shout was -come on Edith, I’ll race you.
Edith left teaching when she married Walter Detta and became a farm wife. Three children and a lot of farm work later, she hadn’t completely left teaching behind. In her retired years she taught English as a second language and had many appreciative students. An accomplished pianist, organist and accordion player, she never failed to take an opportunity to play an instrument or dance. In later years, she and Walt enjoyed escaping the prairie cold for the warm beaches of Hawaii.
Edith was predeceased by her husband, Walter; parents Raymond and Mary Jane; sister Adelaide; as well as many other relatives. She is survived by her daughter Linda Detta; sons Alvin and Ken Detta; daughters in-law Gerri Detta and Patricia Detta; as well as many nephews and nieces.
Many thanks to Lorelei Fletcher and her team at Selo Gardens Personal Care Home who went the extra mile to make Edith’s last years’ comfortable and happy.
A Private Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Edith’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan.
