Evelyn, the only child of William and Bessie Harris
was born in Saskatoon on September 28, 1917. She grew
up on the family farm southwest of Colonsay and took
her schooling at Colonsay School. On April 10, 1940 she
married Wilfrid Garner and together they farmed west
of Colonsay for 60 years. Wilfrid and Evelyn had many
enjoyable evenings with their friends at Danceland. She
was an active member of the United Church choir for
many years.
Evelyn is survived by brother-in-law Leslie (June)

family, cousins from the Harris and Urquhart families. She was favourite “cousin” to
Marlene (Max) Fiolleau and godmother to Carrie Martel.
She was predeceased by husband Wilfrid in 2000 and parents William in 1968 and
Bessie in 1980.

HABERMEHL,
Catherine (Kay) Mary
Catherine Habermehl, aged 88 years, passed away
at Watrous Union Hospital on Tuesday, May 12, 2009.
Catherine Mary Zoney, also known as “mom, grandma,
auntie, sister, friend, neighbour and simply Kay”,
was born on the family’s homestead farm on November
26, 1920. She was the seventh child of pioneer, Hungarian
immigrants (Ignatious Zoney and Kathleen Toth) who
homesteaded six miles northeast of Young, Sask. Her
childhood years were spent in rural Saskatchewan, receiving
an education through Gr. 10 in country schools.
At an early age, she entered the workforce as a domestic
helper, working for a number of farmers and employers
in Saskatoon and Regina; one of those being Levi Habermehl, the father of her future
husband Cliff. During these years as a domestic helper she perfected her skills as a
chef; becoming known for her cooking and baking abilities. At the outset of WWII,
she followed Cliff to Regina where he joined the Canadian Armed Forces. They were
married in St. Mary’s parish by an armed forces chaplain on October 16, 1941; having
a three-day honeymoon before Cliff was transferred to Saskatoon. Kay followed
him to Saskatoon and subsequently to other postings in Hamilton, Ont., Camp Borden,
Ont. and St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. In 1943, Cliff was issued “compassionate
leave” to take off the harvest and subsequently an honourary discharge. Again Kay
followed Cliff to the farm, beginning a 50 year devotion to farming. They raised three
daughters (Carolyn, Janice and Donna) and three sons (Ken, Norm and Brad) while
farming and supplementing the farm income by raising chickens, milking cows and
selling eggs, cream and gardening - all the while encouraging her children to pursue
their education to the best of their abilities. Through these years, accompanying Cliff
to Danceland at Manitou Beach was a Saturday night must. The big band music, a fox
trot or two, socializing with friends and listening to Sentimental Journey or Beyond
the Sunset rounded out an enjoyable evening. In 1983, after 40 years of living on the
farm, Cliff and Kay moved off the farm and resided in Watrous. Without the day-today
farm work to attend to, Kay returned to school in her ‘60s, became certified to
provide home care services and provided care to residents of Watrous for a few years.
Kay was a loyal member of St. Ann’s Catholic congregation, an active member of the
CWL serving as president for two terms and receiving her 50 year membership pin.
With her love of gardening and flowers, she joined the Watrous Horticultural Society
and served as treasurer. She was also a member of the Arts and Crafts Club and
woman’s auxiliary to the Canadian Legion. Kay excelled as a seamstress. She loved
quilting, crocheting, knitting; activities that resulted in many bedspreads and afghans
that were gifts to relatives, kids and grandchildren. She enjoyed playing cards, beating
Cliff in many cribbage games and was a true competitor in a game of “hand and foot
canasta”. In her spare time she was an avid reader and loved to travel with Cliff.
Kay is survived by her children: daughters Carolyn (Bob) Bartel of Quesnel, B.C.,
Janice Dobson of Regina and sons Kenneth (Pat) of Macrorie, Norman (Monique) of
South Dakota, Brad (Lorna) of Watrous; son-in-law Art Bourgeault (Kathy) of Texas;
and 16 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren; sister Ruth (Wendelin) Hulm of
Watrous and brother James (Elsie) Maynard of Plunkett.
She was predeceased by husband Cliff in 2002; daughter Donna Bourgeault in 1996;
father Ignatious in 1922; mother Kathleen in 1984 and brothers Nicholas, Louis, Joseph
and sisters Julia and Yolanda.
Vigil of prayer was held May 15 at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church.
The Mass of the Christian Burial was held at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church
on May 16 conducted by Father Ray Senger with prayers by Father Emmanuel Banahene.
Honour guard was St. Ann’s CWL. Kay’s grandsons were pallbearers. Cynthia Kulrich
and Irene Muir were register attendants. Ushers were Sid Kulrich and John Beattie.
Organist was Bonnie Ullyott with Norman Duerr as soloist.
Interment followed at Watrous Cemetery.
Memorial donations directed to St. Ann’s Parish or Jubilee Court would be appreciated.

arrangements.

OBITUARY
KARMARK,
Johannes (John)
Johannes Karmark,
aged 75 years, of Watson,
Sask. passed away at
Humboldt District Hospital
on Friday, May 8, 2009.
John was born on
February 17, 1934 to Laurits
and Petra (nee Neilson)
in Hobro, Denmark. After
attaining his elementary
education, he enrolled in
a machining course at a
trade school. John also served in the Danish Navy for 18
months. In 1957, he immigrated to Canada and worked
as a roofer in Calgary, Alta. Eventually, John made his
way to Saskatchewan where he worked at Thode Hereford
Ranch in the Dundurn area. On June 24, 1961,
John married Doreen Watt in Sylvan Lake, Alta. The
couple made their home in Dundurn until April 1967
when they moved to Lorlie, Sask. where John worked
for Jack Stilborn. In 1971, John and Doreen began
farming on their own. In 1976, they moved to Saskatoon
where John worked with his brothers Henry and
George at Karmark Auto Parts. A year later, John and
Doreen relocated to Simpson, Sask. Another move was
made in 1981 to Delisle where they farmed for 19 years.
In 2000, they retired to Asquith, Sask., where they
lived for four years before moving to Humboldt. Two
years later, a final move was made to Watson. John’s
favourite pastime was building airplane motors from
scratch, with every piece being carefully handcrafted.
He enjoyed having coffee with his buddies twice a day
at local coffee shops. His grandchildren loved going
for coffee with grandpa John because that meant they
would get ice cream. John loved to wheel and deal with
anyone for anything. His neighbours always enjoyed
lending their equipment to him because John would
bring it back in better shape then when he received it.
For a number of years, he served on the Co-op board
in Delisle and was a member of the Royal Canadian
Legion branches in Asquith and Humboldt. His love
of travel took him many places; the trips home to
Denmark, British Columbia, Inuvik, Prince Edward
Island and the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. More
than anything, he loved spending time with his wife,
children and grandchildren.
John will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed
by his wife of 48 years, Doreen (nee Watt) Karmark
of Watson, Sask.; two sons, four daughters and their
families: Kevin (Anna) Karmark of Wadena, Sask. and
daughters Merrissa and Tamara; Kelly (Darrell) Stein
of Simpson, Sask. and family, Craig (fiancée Carly),
Lauren and Rebecca; Suzanne (Gary) Jurgens of Pike
Lake, Sask. and family, Erich, Danyka, Tatton, Colebryn
and Quinlan; Kirsten (Risdon) Karmark-Barraws
of Saskatoon, Sask.; Quentin Karmark of Asquith,
Sask. and family, Megan, Jenna, Dane, Camryn; Stacey
(Darrell) Christie of Inuvik, N.W.T. and family, Kaitlyn
and Jackson; two sisters and one brother: Inger (Karl)
Jensen and Ellen Kvist, both of Denmark and Henry
(Donna) Karmark of Saskatoon, Sask.; sister-in-law
Dagny Karmark of Saskatoon, Sask. and by numerous
nieces and nephews in Denmark and Canada.
He was predeceased by his parents Laurits and
Petra (nee Neilson) Karmark; two brothers Laurits
and George Karmark; one sister Karen (Ulrich) Uhlmann
and by brother-in-law John Kvist.
Funeral service was held at Delisle Town Hall,
Delisle, Sask. on May 13 conducted by Rev. Al Hingley.
Interment followed at Delisle Cemetery.
Memorial donations directed to the Canadian Cancer
Society would be appreciated.
Schuler-Lefebvre of Humboldt was in care of arrangements.
IN MEMORIAM
DREGER - In loving memory of our mom Marlene:
A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.
And what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
- Sadly missed, Brian and Diane.
DREGER - In loving memory of a very special grandmother
Marlene:
This day is remembered and quietly kept
No words are needed, we shall never forget.
For those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen and unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, and so very dear.
- Sadly missed, Brianne and Kali Langlois.
