In loving memory of
Christina Thibault
December 14, 1922 ~ December 29, 2024
Christina Thibault passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 29, 2024, at Lakeview Pioneer Lodge, at the age of 102. Christina was born on December 14, 1922, at Shantonagh, near the village of Bally Bay, Co Monaghan, Ireland. She grew up on a farm and worked in town while attending school. At 18 years, she moved to London, England, enrolling in nurses’ training. After six months, she moved from London to Bristol, as London was being bombed during the Blitz of World War II. She moved to Bristol to be nearer her sisters and there worked for British Overseas Airways in the officers’ mess. Christina met Philip Thibault while he was serving overseas in the Canadian Army. They were married in Bristol, England, on January 19, 1946. When the war came to an end, Philip returned to Canada, and Christina immigrated to Canada in July of 1946, where she joined Philip. They farmed near Tway until his passing in 1989. She stayed on the farm until her late 90s and moved to Wakaw’s Lakeview Pioneer Lodge, for her remaining four and a half years. Christina was an active member of the Bonne Madone R.C. Parish, and later St. Theresa’s R.C. Parish in Wakaw. She was a hard-working farm wife, mother, and volunteer. She loved all animals, including cats, dogs, pigs, chickens, and cattle, that they had on the farm. She was also a great lover of nature. She was a great cook and baker, gardener, knitter, sewer, and her hands were seldom idle. Christina never forgot her Irish roots. She marked St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th each year, as a special day on the calendar. She will be remembered for her wit, hospitality, words of wisdom, hard work, and, of course, her lovely Irish accent. The family would like to thank friends, neighbors, and relatives, as well as Father Matthew, the staff at Lakeview Pioneer Lodge and Dr. Venne for their support and compassionate care of Christina in her final years. A Mass of Christian Burial will held on Friday, January 3, 2025 at 10:30 am in the St. Theresa Roman Catholic Church in Wakaw, SK with Rev. Fr. Matthew Nguyen as Celebrant. Interment will take place at the Bonne Madone Roman Catholic Cemetery. Donations in memory of Christina can be addressed to the Bonne Madone Church or the Lakeview Pioneer Lodge.
