LU CRAIK

UELLA BEATRICE (LU), AGE 81 YEARS OF MOOSE JAW

It is with great sorrow that the family of Lu Craik announce her passing on February 14, 2003, after a courageous battle with cancer which she fought with grace and dignity.  Lu was born on March 18, 1921 in the Brock district, Sask. During WWII she was employed in a munitions factory in Toronto. Following the War, Lu worked in Saskatoon where she met Ken. They were married in 1948 and moved to the family farm in the Cobourg district, three miles southwest of Moose Jaw. In 1987 Lu and Ken moved into their condo in Moose Jaw. Lu’s family was most important to her and she enjoyed planning family gatherings.  She was a member of the Duplicate Bridge Club, Cosmo Club, and the Cobourg Ladies Friendship Group.  She enjoyed bridge, sewing, baseball games, playing piano, and 23 winters in Arizona. Predeceased by her brother, Wilbert St.John, Lu is survived by her husband, Ken; sons: Bryon (Kathy) and children, Chey (Cori), Jesse (Sherry Ward) and Lori;   Brock (Sheri) and children, Jon and Ashley; daughter, Joan (Dillon) Boyle and Sarah;  sisters: Iona (Don) Preston – Calgary; Mona (Earl) Code – Regina; brother, Wreferd St.John – Kindersley; and many nieces and nephews. Lu will be forever missed by her family. A Service of Remembrance will be held at W.J.Jones & Son Chapel on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 at 1:30 pm. Reverend John Carley will officiate.  In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Canadian Cancer Society, 223 Fairford St.E., Moose Jaw, S6H 0E1, would be appreciated.  In living memory of Lu, a tree will be planted in Wakamow Valley by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home.
