RENE BULL

(Video Tribute)

It is with great sadness that the family of Rene Bull announces her passing on Monday, February 12, 2007 at the age of 89 years. Rene was born and raised in the Margo area. She married Wilbert (Wib) Bull on October 24, 1938 and they lived in Invermay and Quill Lake prior to moving to Moose Jaw in 1957. Rene was a gifted musician, although she did not have any formal instruction. At an early age she played in an all violin orchestra. Rene was a choir leader for forty years in Invermay, Quill Lake, and Moose Jaw. She was a member of Trinity United Church since 1957, and was an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star since June 1963. Rene’s memory will be greatly cherished by her loving husband of 68 years, Wib; her daughters, Elaine (Ken) Maxwell, and Sheila (Jim) Herrem;  grandchildren, Mitch, Richelle, and Karen Necker; Jennifer (Brad Sparks) and David (Chrissy) Passmore;  great-grandchildren, Kyle Necker and Mia Passmore;  brother, Gordon (Pat) McNulty; and sisters, Norma Donovan and Mavis (Doug) Brown.  Rene was predeceased by her parents James and Gina McNulty; her brothers Percy and Lorne; and sister Gladys Gundacker. A Celebration of Rene’s life will be held at Minto United Church on Thursday February 15, 2007 at 1:30 pm.  Reverend John Carley will officiate. Cremation will follow with memorialization at Rosedale Cemetery at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorials to your favorite charity would be appreciated.  In living memory of Rene, a tree has been planted in Wakamow Valley by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home.
