George Waldenberg

George passed away on Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at the Union Hospital with family at his side. George was born at Grayburn in 1928 and later moved to Marquis. After his schooling, George started farming. He married Shirley in 1951. They were blessed with two children, Randy and Dawn Heather. They enjoyed farm life until they moved to Moose Jaw in 1971. Square and round dancing played a big part in their lives. He became a caller and retired in 2009 after 40 years. In retirement years he loved doing wood working and they belonged to the Duplicate Bridge Club. They loved it and met many new friends. They played together and they say it takes a good marriage to accomplish that feat. George and Shirley belong to St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church parish.
