Obituary
We are sad to announce the passing of Sam Dergousoff. He died peacefully at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre on Dec. 1, 2022, and we are so thankful for the hospital staff who took such wonderful care of him in his last few weeks.
Sam lived to be 96 years of age and he was able to enjoy many wonderful days out golfing at Deer Park in Yorkton with his family and fishing with his sons and grandsons this past summer, and all throughout his life. He was married to Joyce (Myrfield) for 72 years, his true partner in life – they farmed together, raised 7 children together, golfed and fished together.
Sam and Joyce farmed southwest of Buchanan for 55 years, grain farming and raising Registered Polled Herefords. They showed cattle at the Agribition and around the province, through which they met many wonderful people from all over the world. They moved into Buchanan and later into Yorkton when they retired and they did lots of traveling and golfing and fishing in their retirement years.
Sam always said that his greatest accomplishment and enjoyment in his life were his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He fondly remembered the good times that he and Joyce had and the places that they saw while visiting their children around Canada and the United States.
Sam is survived by his wife, Joyce; and their 7 children: Rodney (Shirley), Daryl (Brenda), Barb (Mel), Joanne (Jim), Craig (Sheryl), Gwen (Mike) and Colleen (Rod). He also has 16 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
There will be no formal services at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Yorkton Regional Health Centre or the Faith Lutheran Cemetery Fund in Buchanan.
