Obituary for Ivy Emma Deitner (Woiden)
DEITNER: Ivy Ella (Woiden)
Nov. 17, 1925 – Dec. 22, 2017
Mom came into this world as Victoria Emma Woiden at Young, Saskatchewan on November 17, 1925, the oldest daughter of Andrew and Lena (Matycio) Woiden. She was raised on the family farm along with siblings Norman, Frank, Elmer, Inez and Walter and attended Strawberry school. It was sometime in here that she became Ivy. After school she worked with various families until she met our father, Vincent Deitner, who she married on October 22, 1948. They lived on the family farm in Kenaston from the time they were married, until moving to Watrous in 1958. While living in Kenaston Mom gave birth to four children: James, Calvin, Sharon and Myles. During this time she was actively involved in Homemakers, church, raising children and the business of farming. It was always important to her to have something of her own, and for her it meant having her own produce and contribution to the family. Upon moving to Watrous she continued this and remained employed outside the home until her retirement at 65. Her most cherished time was working at Manitou Lodge and seeing friends daily. She was also employed full time at home: baking, tending a huge garden and harvesting her produce during canning time, knitting and crocheting. She even taught Dad how to knit which meant all children and grandchildren had a steady flow of socks and mitts. Her loves were many but having family and friends sit down at the table to her wondrous meals was her greatest joy. She loved entertaining and visiting and the coffee pot was always on. This applied throughout her life, whether for family, friends or teenagers coming home hungry in the middle of the night with equally hungry friends. She loved music and dancing and tried to ensure every child in the house could do a real waltz, two-step and polka. She celebrated the birth of each grandchild and great-grandchild and kept up with what was happening with each, and she loved them all. As the grandchildren grew, she looked forward eagerly to her visits and getting to know the next generation. Mom kept in touch with friends and the huge family that she had and continued to see friends and family right up to her passing. Mom was predeceased by dad, Vincent Deitner, grandson Damien Deitner, brothers Norman and Elmer, sister Carrie and a number of extended family members. She is survived by sons James (Liette), Calvin (Bonnie) and Myles (Dynelda) and daughter Sharon. Also 9 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, brothers Frank and Walter, sister Inez. Mom will be missed by all of us but as a friend stated “I can imagine all the greeting going on up there tonight.” We love you Mom and are going to miss you, and your happy smile, so much. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
