It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Laura Tafelmeyer on February 19, 2021. She passed peacefully at Wascana Rehabilitation Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan after a 5-year battle with cancer.
Laura, 86, was predeceased by her parents John and Anne Shiminsky, her husband Ed Tafelmeyer and her two sisters Helen Norick and Jenny Pulkaunikas. She is survived by her two brothers Henry and Ed Shiminsky and her daughter Dana Tafelmeyer.
Laura was born in Old Taylorton, Saskatchewan and moved to Bienfait, Saskatchewan as a young girl where she attended school and established many wonderful friendships which she maintained throughout the years. After graduation she moved to Estevan, Saskatchewan and attended secretarial college then went on to work at a local law firm. There she met one of their clients, Ed Tafelmeyer and they fell in love and were married in 1963. The following year their daughter Dana was born.
A devoted wife and mother, she continued to work full-time at the law office then later for an oil company, a pipeline company and then a customs broker until she finally retired. She was an active member of the community, belonged to St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church and volunteered annually at the Estevan Music Festival. She was part of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and also engaged in several municipal and provincial political campaigns. She loved spending time with extended family and summer vacations were often taken to visit her brothers in Calgary, Alberta and Richmond, British Columbia. She was a fun-loving and social person who will be forever remembered and greatly missed.
Special Thanks for the kindness and care she received while at Hillview Manor in Estevan, Trinity Manor, Grace Hospice and Wascana Rehabilitation Centre in Regina.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, no funeral service will be held. People who wish to honor Laura are asked to consider donating to Regina Wascana Grace Hospice, Regina, Saskatchewan.
