Thelma Beryl Kendall

 “THE SONG IS ENDED 

 BUT THE MELODY LINGERS ON”

 .... IRVING BERLIN 

 Our strong beautiful mother left us heartbroken, early Thursday morning Feb 28, 2019. She left as she lived, quietly, uncomplaining, without inconvenience to anyone. We shall miss her sunny outlook, her gentle manner, and her wonderful smile. She was born Sunday, April 27th, 1924 to Ernest and Bertha Grenke on a small farm near Landis, Saskatchewan. She taught school in the early years and shortly after marriage stayed home to raise a family. She imparted to us her love of movies, books, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of life. She withstood the loss of a child and later her husband with characteristic fortitude. She never allowed herself to become embittered but lived her life with optimism and faith. Those of us left are her children - Darline (David) Gubbe, Deryk (Terry) Kendall, David (Betty) Kendall, Diane (Terry Blanchette) Kendall. Her grandchildren - Danielle (Rob) Elder, Jessica (Tim) Pell; Terri (Rupen Pandya) Allard, Curtis (Heather) Kendall, Kara (Shawn) Soonias, Chris Kendall; Corinne (Rob) Mathews, Travis (Stephanie) Kendall, Jeff (Lindsay) Kendall, Courtney (Judd) Campbell, respectively, as well as her beloved great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Jack Kendall, theirs was a love story; her daughter, Eunice; her granddaughter Christine; her brother Ron Grenke; her sister Shirley Leech, and her parents Ernest and Bertha Grenke.

 We will miss you always, our Mom.
