Leslee “Robyn” Grigg
With deeply broken hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Leslee “Robyn” Grigg of Moose Jaw, SK on Friday July 12th, 2024, at the age of 67 years. She was born to Karol (née: Sisson) and George Grigg on January 1st, 1957, in Moose Jaw.
Robyn received her education in Moose Jaw and attended the University of Saskatchewan, obtaining her Education Degree. In 2000, she completed her master’s degree from the San Diego State University and retired in 2015 from A. E. Peacock School.
One of the strongest passions in Robyn’s life was the love of travel. Her desire to experience new and interesting cultures and cuisines has taken her to numerous countries around the world. Her favorite destination was Thailand. Another passion was the family farm, which she became a part of in 1989. Robyn devoted a great deal of time to gardening, especially her flower gardens, and was always attempting to add a new iris to her collection.
Robyn enjoyed her retirement with summers shared between the farm and the cottage at Lumsden Beach, and winters in Mexico.
She was predeceased by her mother, Karol (1983) and father, George (2004). Robyn is survived by her husband, Al Wihlidal; sisters: Karlee Grigg (Grant-Paul; Scott and family) and Cheryl Grigg (Evan; Colin and family); brother, Jeff Grigg (Danielle; Allisha, Ryan and Leah and family); sister-in-law, Sherry Aitken (Allan; Jonathon, Justin, and Spencer and family); and stepmother, Margaret Grigg.
Thank you to the staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital for the care and compassion shown.
In keeping with Robyn’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. A private family gathering and interment at Rosedale Cemetery will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Robyn’s name may be made to SCRAPS -Band City Stray Cat Rescue and Protection Society, P.O. Box 1653, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.

My heartfelt condolences to Al and all of Robyn’s family. I worked with Robyn at Peacock and we became friends. I was thinking of her a lot lately thinking I should give her a call. Well, all I can say is till we meet again my friend.

Sending my deepest condolences to you Al and all the family. Wishing your family peace during this difficult time. I will miss Robyn like crazy, she was my best friend in the world. While the shock of hearing she passed is heartbreaking and I continue to struggle with it, I will find peace in the years of memories we shared. I’m also comforted that in the last call we had July 4th before we hung up, I told her how grateful I was for our friendship and how much I loved her. There are special people in our lives who never leave us. Though they’re no longer here in person, they’re always with us in spirit. The world’s color changed a bit for me this week.
