The Song Is Ended But The Memory Lingers On (Irving Berlin)
Our mother and musical matriarch, Therese “Terry” Urzada (nee Gaudreau), has joined her parents, husband Harry, daughter Donna, grandson Matthew LeNabat and her siblings Jeanine, Roland, Bob, Gerald and Guy and friends in the spirit world.
She will be greatly missed by everyone but especially her children Don (Pat), Joyce (Bob Sylvestre), Del (Robin) and Harry (Carol) Urzada, her fourteen grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, and her sisters Rita, Jeanette and Claudette.
Lady Ter, as she was sometimes called, was legendary in her baking skills, particularly buns and Dad’s cookies. It was rare, indeed, not to find a special goodie in her pantry.
Mom’s magical hands did not like to be idle. She played several instruments including piano, violin and mandolin. She was a self-taught professional seamstress and people travelled from far and wide to have Mom sew their special garment. She also enjoyed many crafts, knitted and crocheted endlessly. She knitted mittens for everyone in her family and then donated huge bags of mittens and baby clothes to the hospital and church.
Mom’s legacy was her passion for music. She sang beautifully and harmonized effortlessly and has unquestionably joined the Lord’s heavenly choir. Nothing made her happier than listening to someone in her family play an instrument, sing or dance. Even at ninety-two she refused to go to bed if there was music being played.
We will always remember her sparkling clear blue eyes and her abiding unconditional love. She enriched all our lives with her special care, her glorious laugh, and her wisdom.
Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Henry Roman Catholic Church, Melville, SK.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit, Pasqua Hospital, Regina, SK.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Therese Marie Urzada May 30th 2022..
