MANSELL CLIFTON BIDEN

December 28, 1910 – July 27, 2005

It is with sadness the family of Mansell announces his peaceful passing at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital surrounded by his loving children. Mansell was predeceased by his parents, Herb and Alma, his wife, Marjorie in 1979, his son, Gregory in 2001; brothers: Byron, Murray, Glenford, and a sister, Norah.  He will be greatly missed by his children, Gwelda Hales (Ken) of Regina, Audrey Biden of Victoria, Grant Biden of Moose Jaw and grandchildren: Melissa, Brent, Brodie, Tanis, Whitney, Haylee and Rhiannon.  He is also survived by two sisters: Beatrice and Norma, as well as many nieces and nephews.  Mansell was born in Wolseley, Saskatchewan in 1910 where he lived until 1939 when he enlisted along with his brother Byron in the armed forces.  He proudly served in England, France, Belgium and Holland - experiences that changed him forever.  His dear brother Byron was shot down in 1943.  After the War he met and married Marjorie Toder and together they raised their family in Moose Jaw. His work life saw him in various positions as a salesman, truck driver, factory worker and finally as the managing caretaker of the Armories. Mansell’s family would like to thank Home Care for the wonderful care they have provided him.  A Celebration of Mansell’s Life will be held at the W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Chapel, 106 Athabasca St.E., Moose Jaw on Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. Della Ferguson will officiate. Donations may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund, c/o 268 High St. W., Moose Jaw, S6H 1S8. In living memory of Mansell, a tree will be planted in Wakamow Valley by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home.

Dana Lott -  Regina:  Gwelda, Audrey, Grant and Families- I have many fond memories of your Dad when I think back to our childhood-your Dad was always trying to make us smile and laugh. Jeff and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers- Take care.

Whitney - Parksville, BC
May you always shine down,
Like the stars in the sky,
The echoing thought of why, oh why.

May you now be at peace,
With the loved ones above,
Will you send them a message,
Along with some love.

Tell them the stories
About how much we've missed,
The laughter filled with love,
The hugs with a kiss.

You will never be forgotten,
Neither will they,
Please know that your thought of,
From day to day.

From the stars in the sky,
To the fish in the sea,
And every living being,
You stand out to me.

So may you always shine down,
Like the stars in the sky,
With no longer echo of why, oh why

Love always Whitney Biden.

Winona Kenderdine - Virden/Manitoba: nee Koeckeritz (Herb's daughter).  I remember Mansel well from the family reunion at Midale, Sask.  He did a very emotional speech about family
