Colleen Fletcher (nee Stack) passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on July 2, 2021.
Mom was born in Minton, Saskatchewan and after graduating high school moved to Regina, Saskatchewan where she spent the rest of her life.
She shared many stories about growing up on the farm in Minton and her beloved horse named Kitten.
Mom travelled back to Minton many times over the years to visit old friends, attend Sports Days, Fall Fairs and her high school reunion.
She began her career at the Grey Nuns Hospital, later to be known as the Pasqua Hospital, Regina, Saskatchewan. She spent over 30 years working as a Nursing Assistant and later on as a Ward Clerk in the Intensive Care Unit.
Mom absolutely loved dancing and spent countless days and nights at local senior’s dances. She was even spotted a time or two dancing with a nurse in her room at Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.
She was an avid Riders fan. On game day she would get her jersey on, buy a bag of Munchie Party Mix, and settle in to watch the game. There would be many phone calls back and forth between her and her brother Kurt as they argued about calls made or cheered on a great play.
The only thing better than watching the Riders was cheering on her Grandsons in their many sporting events. There she would be, sitting front and center, packed with gear for every possible weather condition. She loved those boys so much.
A real source of joy for Mom these last few months were visits from my dog Leo who would accompany me to Wascana Rehabilitation Centre. As soon as he walked in the room her eyes would light up. Leo would sit at her bedside, paw in her lap and wait patiently for the crackers she would feed him.
Mom was predeceased by her parents Joe and Frances Stack; brother Kurt Stack; sisters Linda Byhette and Marlene Symons.
She is survived by her daughter Debbie Brown; son-in-law Cory; grandsons Chase, Brady (Stephanie), Dustin and Cody; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Moms last 5 1/2 years have been filled with many health challenges that she faced with her feisty spirit right until the end.
Thank you to Dr. McMillan for the exceptional care and kindness you had given to my Mom.
To the Wascana Rehabilitation Team on Unit 2-6 that cared for Mom the last 5 years, I have no words to thank you enough. Not only did you take great care of my Mom, you took great care of me as well. I appreciate all the hugs and words of encouragement and comfort that always came when I needed it most. You went above and beyond —- God Bless you all.
A Private Family Graveside Service will be held in Chapel Grove Cemetery, Minton, Saskatchewan.
Rest in peace Mom, we will always love and remember you.
