VIOLET COULTER

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Violet Jane Coulter (nee Bogle). Born August 27, 1910 at Holstein, Ontario, she passed away October 29, 2004 in Moose Jaw. Violet moved to Viceroy, SK where she attended school until grade 11.  She worked in the Viceroy Post Office and as a typesetter in a print shop.  Violet married Reg Coulter and they moved to Crestwynd where they farmed until July 1997when they retired to Moose Jaw. She is survived by three children: Cora, Sharon (Bryan) Gilbert, and Terry (Spencer) Barber; grandchildren:  Shelley (Marcel), Kevin (Bonnie), Shawn (Chere), Chad (Cindy), Jody (Mike), and Jenna (Chase); great-grandchildren: Carmine, Natalie, Taylor, Brandy, Kelsi, Brittnee, and Reese.  Violet was the centre of her family and worked hand in hand on the farm with her husband Reg.  As a young woman on the farm she taught Sunday School at Piety Hill School and gave neighbours sewing and quilting lessons. Gardening, needle work, and knitting was a passion. She always welcomed everyone to her home, giving them goodies (tea and cookies) and was always ready to add an extra plate at the table. Violet will be dearly missed by her family.  She will always be remembered for her independence, strong will, and determination to accomplish anything she set her mind to.  She is predeceased by her husband, Reg in 2001. The Graveside Service and interment will be held at Sunset Cemetery on Tuesday November 2, 2004 at 2:30 pm.  Pastor Cory Steinson will officiate.  Friends are invited to further share this day with the family at a tea at the Alliance Church at 3:00 pm. Flowers are gratefully declined.  Donations in memory of Violet to the charity of your choice, would be appreciated.  In living memory of Violet, a tree will be planted in Wakamow Valley by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home. 

“Do not stand at my grave and weep, as I am no longer there. 

Instead rejoice as I am now with my Lord and Savior.”
