In tears we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away,
You suffered much in silence,
You fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage,
And still you kept on fighting,
Until the very end.
God saw you getting tired,
That a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come with Me."
So when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
Dear Jesus, grant her heavenly rest.

On Wednesday, December 8, 1999, Edna I. Lindskog, late of Radville, passed away at Radville Marian Health Centre, at the age of 79 years. Predeceased by her parents: Lars and Sophie Lindskog, and by her twin sister, Ellen Frederick. Edna is survived by her two brothers: Sidney (Dorothy) Lindskog of Weyburn; and Gordon (Phyllis) Lindskog of Weyburn; brother-in-law Bill Frederick of Weyburn; nieces and nephews: Terry Frederick, Rodger Frederick, Stanley Lindskog, Steven Linkdkog, Verna Mitura, Rodney Lindskog, Randy Lindskog, Lori Olheiser, Kevin Lindskog, Kelly Lindskog and Leanne Verbeem; as well as great nieces and nephews. Edna was born, along with her twin sister, Ellen, on December 17, 1919 at the homestead southwest of Neptune. They were the eldest of four children born to Ivor and Sophie Lindskog. At three years of age, Edna contracted polio. She did survive and an operation on her legs done in Winnipeg enabled her to walk again. This allowed her to care for the calves, chicks, piglets and especially the kittens on the family farm. She did her share of the housework, and enjoyed the rides by horse and sleigh and playing cards. She also took care of her nieces and nephews, as a great joy was to have babies around her. In 1965 her father passed away and Edna moved with her caregiver, Mary Dalrymple, to a cottage at Pioneer Place in Weyburn. In April of 1972, she moved into the Marian Home, now the Radville Marian Health Centre. Her siblings would take her out for various occasions, so they were able to spend time with her, a joy for her to be in their homes. She loved to open the presents at the Christmas celebrations. Edna's presence was felt at the Marian Centre, as she made crafts, pillows, rugs, etc. When one visited her, she would be a good salesperson offering to sell a rug, or even a raffle ticket or three. And of course, there was bingo, hoping to win so she could spend the money. Most contagious was Edna's smile and laugh. It was difficult to visit her and not come away with a big smile and a joyful feeling. The residents, staff and volunteers were a large part of Edna's life. She attended many special suppers, parties and outings to the Seniors Centre for pie and coffee or to Hannigan's for ice cream. Edna was caring and loving, but also very honest, as she spoke her mind, clearly letting you know how she felt. She may not have had any formal education, but her learning was impressive. Because of her exceptional memory, she could list events, past and present, recalling details that others may have forgotten. Family was still important to Edna, attending a wedding, a baptism, and just this year, her brother's 50th wedding anniversary. We thank God for blessing us with Edna. Funeral service was held Monday, December 13 at 2:00 p.m. from Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, with Pastor Martin Olson officiating. Interment followed in Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Maxim. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were: Rodney, Stanley, Steven and Randy Lindskog, Troy and Jason Frederick. For friends so wishing, donations may be made to the Radville Marian Health Centre, Radville, in her memory. Arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn.
