Theodore “Ted” Shaheen: it is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of a husband, father, uncle and brother. Ted (Theodore George Habib) Shaheen, a people’s person, a lover of good conversation and laughter, passed away peacefully at his home in Swift Current on August 22, 2017, at the age of 78. The funeral service was held at 2:00 pm, August 26, 2017 from St. Stephen’s Anglican Church with Reverend Chris Dowdeswell officiating. The pianist was Marlene Dolter, the duet was sang by Cassidy and Derek Friesen and the eulogy was read by Kathy Buckingham, Lexie Finlay, Kim Othman and Kandi Bickner. The ushers were Jason Hattum and Keith Buckingham. The interment service was held at Hillcrest Cemetery. The pallbearers were Trevor Shaheen, Armand Bye, Edward Finlay, Dale Buckingham, Steve Shaheen and Charlie Shaheen. The honorary pallbearers were all that shared in his life. Ted was blessed and survived by the love of his life, and amazing wife of 51 years, Betty, and son, Trever Shaheen, who has always been the twinkle in his dad’s eye. Ted married Betty Finlay on April 16, 1966. Ted is also survived by Armand (Heather), Alicia (Jason), Rainy and Cache, who were the apple of his eye; sister, Yvonne (Herb) Miller; sister-in-law, Marj Shaheen; brother-in-law, Lad Valastin and by numerous nieces and nephews, who were a very important part in his life. Ted was always their biggest fan and confidant, and oh proud he was of each and every one of them. Ted was predeceased by his mother, Anna; father, Oscar; sisters, Helen, Mary (Frank), Rose (Art) and Delia; brothers, George, Charlie and Naseeb (Doris); mother-in-law, Mary; father-in-law, James; and sister-in-law, Helen (Amell). Ted attended school at Centre Springs and Central School, and later attended plumbing school in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw. He worked in various plumbing shops, although farming was his main and true passion. One of his sidelines was disc rolling which took him to various farms in the area, which he truly enjoyed. Another one of his passions was helping his son, Trevor, run the Prairie Nut Shop. He took great pride in making the product for everyone to enjoy. Trevor and his dad shared many, many treasured memories of muskrat trapping together, along with many father and son trips to Ontario and California. Ted greatly enjoyed family gatherings. His quick wit and winning smile let him get away with a lot of pranks that he pulled on everyone. Ted was a family man, a great man yet a simple man. He loved red trucks and hated chickens. He excelled at being able to talk to anyone. You’d ask him, “who was that?” and he’d reply, “I don’t know”. That’s why he loved going to the casino every day to swipe his card. And Tim Horton’s, although he never drank coffee – there were people there. He didn’t care, he’d sit down and start talking. He loved people, he loved Shirley’s coconut cream pie, watermelon and candy. If you were a friend, you were a friend for life; he was a loyal man, a gentle man, kind-hearted, compassionate and oh such a tease. He was always good natured and always had a smile; he would never get worked up about anything. To Ted there was always a solution – and it usually fell on Betty’s shoulders. If Betty was around, he knew everything would be o.k., and it usually was. A good man makes a good wife. He always shrugged off his health issues, saying, “Well, what are you going to do about it?” He decided to live a full and happy life rather than a sad life. And that outlook worked so well for him. Ted and Betty farmed for many years. He was a lover of the land and most important to Ted was harvest time he always yearned to be driving the combine to this day. Many stories were told from him about harvest and for the reason Armand would pick him up and many trips were taken to watch others harvest. “Blessed are they who see such beautiful things in humble places.” Someday we will all be together, and we will never have to say goodbye again. Forever loved – forever in our hearts – forever missed. Donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan would be appreciated by the family. Warren’s Funeral Home were entrusted with the arrangements.
