Robert and Marion were married in 1953. They farmed at the old homestead north of Estevan. In 1968 they bought a farm at Manor and remained there until they moved to Regina in 1974. Dad worked at IPSCO until he retired in 1988. During his retirement years, he liked to tinker in his garage and garden shed. He would even sometimes disassemble an appliance of Mom’s, believing that he could make it work better. He also loved to sample Mom’s baking and would frequently remind her that the freezer was getting low on goodies. Dad also loved to visit and go for coffee at the mall with the “old boys” as he called them. He also spent a lot of time tending to the garden with Mom. Thank you to all the staff at Sunset Extendicare for your care and compassion during Dad’s time there.
Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. in Holy Child Parish, 2636 – 7th Avenue East, Regina, SK. Private family interment in Regina Memorial Gardens.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Robert Makellky January 31st 2019..
