Hospital at the age of 61 years. Predeceased by her parents,
Elma (Pointer) and David Kitchen; two brothers: Vergil Kitchen
(in infancy) and Elton Kitchen; one brother-in-law, Magnus Nelson
and by her husband, Louis Gall on May 3, 1998. Marlene is survived
by three children: Wilfred Gall (Tina and April Soloway) of Weyburn;

five grandchildren: Charlene Gall, Patricia Gall, Michael Gall,

(Merna) Kitchen, all of Avonlea; and Linden (Maryanne) Kitchen
of Atikokan, ON; one sister-in-law, Trish (Elton) Kitchen of
Moose Jaw; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nephews and cousins.
Marlene Rosine Kitchen was born on June 17, 1938 during the depression
at Section 1, Township 12, Range 23 W2, near Truax, SK. Her proud
parents were Elma (Pointer) and David Kitchen and she was the
fifth child of nine siblings. Marlene attended Moorefield Country
School near Truax, Sunshine Country School near Avonlea, and
Avonlea School in Avonlea for grades 1 to 9. After grade nine
she entered the work force as a waitress at the Town and Country
Cafe in Gravelbourg, the Regent Cafe in Gravelbourg, the Avonlea
Cafe in Avonlea and the Forest Lawn Hotel Cafe in Calgary, AB.
In 1958 she met Louis Gall, who was renting some land near Osage
from Tina Sivy. Louis and Marlene were married on June 17, 1961
at the Holy Trinity Church in Cedoux. They purchased Section
24-11-13 W2 in the R.M of Wellington #97 and began their family.
Marlene and Louis had three children. Their first son, Wilfred
was born on April. 28, 1962; second son, Dwight was born on September
10, 1965; and their only daughter, Karen was born on September
1, 1966. There were many good times and get togethers on the
farm with family and friends. Marlene and Louis resided on the
farm until October, 1991 when they retired and moved to their
new residence at 64-10th Street in Weyburn while Dwight remained
on the farm. Louis passed away on May 3, 1998. Marlene enjoyed
gardening, auction sales, garage sales, visiting with family
and friends, playing cards or games, watching movies and looking
after her home. She undertook different pastimes over the years,
such as selling Holiday Magic, Quazar, Amway, Avon and Tri-Chem
painting. She was exceptionally gifted when using her hands to
crochet afghans, baby items, doll clothes, doilies, etc., knit
scarves, mitts, slippers and the making of various crafts and
flower arrangements. She enjoyed collecting various items such
as Avon Dolls, collector plates, collector spoons, bells, goose
dishes and knick knacks, porcelain dolls, mini Barbie dolls,
etc. Her love of flowers and yard ornaments showed in her yard.
Marlene spent most of her time planting and caring for her garden
and flower beds. Another passion of hers were the Thursday garage
sale escapades with her sisters, Joyce and Sally, or daughter
Karen. Marlene treated herself to the occasional bingo game or
auction sale, but enjoyed quiet evenings at home watching movies
or listening to music and crocheting. She relished visits from
family members and friends and was always the perfect hostess.
Her favorite holiday was Christmas, and she loved to shop for
gifts, spending the whole year searching for presents to give
her family and friends. She would rather give than receive, and
had plenty for all. Marlene lived a quiet, simple life, but her
greatest pleasure was her complete devotion to her children and
grandchildren. She was an exceptional mother and and incredibly
doting grandmother. She frequently had her grandchildren stay
overnight to keep her company and deeply enjoyed any time they
spent with her. All five grandchildren adored her. In May 1997
she was diagnosed with breast cancer, of which she was a fighter
and a survivor. Marlene began having back pain in the summer
of 1998. She was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and Arthritis that
fall and struggled, but continued to fight and hide her pain.
She never complained or asked "why me?" Her pain and
suffering became more apparent as months passed and on July 27,
1999 she was diagnosed with bone cancer. By this time it had
spread significantly and continued to grow. She posed a gallant
fight and was the perfect patient, never gave up hope right until
the end. She lost her courageous fight on September 5, 1999.
To her we owe nothing short of total admiration and respect.
She was the epitome of strength and endurance. Though God granted
Marlene a short life and we feel cheated that she was taken from
us so young, we must learn to be grateful and feel priviledged
that she came along at all. The chances of having someone so
unique and special to be a part of our lives is very small and
for this we will be forever grateful. She had enough love in
her heart to emcompass everyone. Marlene was incredibly kind,
generous, compassionate, forgiving, admirable, genuine, determined
and pure of heart to the depths of her soul. Through all the
adversities and trials in her life she continued to overflow
with compassion and endearing qualities. All who knew her loved
her. She will be dearly missed. Prayers were said Wednesday,
September 8, at 7:00 p.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic
Church, Weyburn. The funeral mass was held Thursday, September
9 at 2:00 p.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church,
Weyburn, with Father Francis Hengen Celebrant. Interment followed
in Cedoux Cemetery, Cedoux. All those in attendance were considered
to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were: Troy
Kincaid, Tony Kitchen, Don Gall, Ron Gall, Wayne Gall, and Dwayne

enlisted in the army and was overseas for four years during World
War II. He served in Belgium, Holland, France and Italy. His
main duties were relegated to tank driving. In 1947 he married
Ardelle Carlson. He worked as a mechanic for E. Bourassa and
Sons for 12 years until purchasing a farm just north of Radville.
He was an excellent mechanic, farmer and carpenter. He took great
pride in his Angus cattle, and served on the local Laurier Community
Pasture Board where he was instrumental in having Charolais herd
sires introduced into what was an Angus or Hereford program only.
In 1975 Germain and Ardelle sold the farm and moved to town.
He worked as a farm laborer for a few years prior to taking the
position of caretaker at the Radville Elementary School from

pride in having everything sparkle and shine. He enjoyed and
cherished his relationship with the students during those years.
During this time, he also assisted his son, Reynold with the
butchering duties of Ren's Meat Mart and Abattoir. Germain's
interests were simple. He loved to play whist, garden and visit
with family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He was a dedicated Legion member, serving on committees and proudly
carried the flag for many Remembrance Day ceremonies. He was
a devoted husband and in spite of his own failing health, was

- Anna Stach
- On Saturday, September 4, 1999, Anna Stach, late of Yellow
Grass, and formerly of Weyburn, passed away at Beautiful Plains
Villa, Yellow Grass, at the age of 90 years. Predeceased by her
parents, Heinrich and Alvina Pioch; her husband, Berthold Stach;
two sisters and one brother; and one grandson, Mark Stach. Anna
is survived by her children: Betty (Dale) Knibbs of Griffin;
Ursula (Hank) Hennig of Bradwell, SK; Siegmund (Giesela) Stach
of Abbotsford, BC and Kurt (Arlene) Stach of Regina; 11 grandchildren
and 17 great grandchildren. Anna was born on September 17, 1908
in Polnow, Germany to Heinrich and Alvina Pioch. Hers was a small
town childhood in a farming community with a loving, church going
family of faith. She met Berthold Stach at a dance and they were
married in March, 1932, making their home first in Kritin and
then in Metzlaff. The happy couple loved to sing together with
the town gathered at their front door to listen. World War II
shattered their lives, scattering their family to concentration
camps and refugee camps until they at last were reunited in Duisberg,
Germany. After rebuilding a comfortable life there, they decided
to emigrate to Canada in 1951, arriving in Estevan and settling
in Viewfield on a cold January day. Together they worked hard
on various farms in the community, raising their family of four
children, gardening, canning and saving and cherishing the simple
joys of life: kleetel with fresh milk, girken, french toast,
pillows and quilts stuffed with their own goose down, home knitted
mittens and stockings and good relationships with friends, family
and God. They celebrated their 45th Anniversary surrounded by
family and friends, and reached their 49th before Berthold's
death in 1981. Whenever you went to visit, Anna's house was always
clean and she was always wearing her apron. She couldn't throw
anything away, if it could still be mended, she would mend it,
sometimes even patching the patches. Her dedication to their
children sometimes kept her going all night knitting and sewing
for school the next day. She loved bows, and they were everywhere
in her house. At her 90th birthday party, she beamed to have
her picture taken with her other nonagenarian friends, over 270
years of life experience in three chairs. At family gatherings,
she didn't want to miss anything if she could help it, staying
up until everyone else went to bed. Failing health forced her
to give up her apartment for constant nursing care in the Beautiful
Plains Villa Nursing Home where she passed away peacefully. Anna
taught much about determination, persistence and faith. Hers
was a strong will, not at all negative, the only failure that
was possible was one willed by God. If something needed doing,
persistence would see it done. Faith in God and trust in His
promises sustained her throughout her life. She will be greatly
missed. Funeral service was held Wednesday, September 8 at 2:00
p.m. from Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn, with Pastor Ron Bestvater
officiating. Interment followed in Stoughton Cemetery, Stoughton.
All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers.
The active pallbearers were: Curtis Stach, Jesse Campbell, Darwin
Knibbs, Jeremy Knibbs, David Hennig, Garry Hennig and Michael
Stach. For friends so wishing, donations may be made in her memory
to the Canadian Cancer Society, Weyburn Branch. Arrangements

taking pride in the calves that he raised to show each summer
at the Weyburn fair. When he was old enough and had enough money
he purchased his first car and over the years he owned about

enjoyed travelling until their family started; first Brendan
in 1991, Nicole in 1995, and then Tanner in 1996. It was Brad

Francis Hengen celebrant and Reverend Bill Corkum officiating.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
- I am the swift
- uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die.
