Margaret Victoria Chesney (née Curtis)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Margaret Victoria Chesney (née Curtis) on Monday, June 5th, 2017 at the age of 86 years.  Our father recently passed, so with this sadness there is also joy in the knowledge that they are now reunited.  Our Mum was born January 6th, 1931 in Constance, SK.  She was the oldest of 15 children and spent much of her time helping care for her siblings.  She is survived by 5 sisters and 1 sister-in-law.  In 1948 she met our Dad and they married on June 16th, 1951.  She raised 6 children: Bev (Bob) Hein of Moose Jaw, SK, Linda (Adrian) Raaber of Regina Beach, SK, Shirley (Nakul) Reddy of Calgary, AB, Don Chesney (Roxanne Johnston) of Moose Jaw, SK, Sharon (Ron) Taylor of Cherry Grove, AB, and Gayle (Murray) Feist of Moose Jaw, SK.  She was a wonderful “Nana” to 12 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.  Along the way she babysat many children in our home and from 1982-1998 worked at the Downtown and South Hill bowling daycares.  Her love of children never wavered, even while suffering through the stages of Dementia, a child in the room would always perk her up.  She was a strong woman and wonderful mother and will truly be missed by us all.  The family would like to thank the staff at Providence Place for caring for her in her final years.  In keeping with Margaret’s wishes, a private family service will be held.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Margaret’s name may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association of Saskatchewan, #301-2550 12th Ave, Regina, SK S4P 3X1.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550
