Violet Katherine Thirsk, 87 years of age, of Moose Jaw, entered into the Lord’s presence on Thursday September 13, 2012. She was predeceased by her loving husband Fred, brothers Orville, and Harvy Daneilson, sister Arlene Bickell, and grandchildren Dean and Ryan Thirsk, and Trevor Champ. Violet will always be lovingly remembered by her sons Dale and Richard (Shirley) Thirsk, and daughter Carol; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and sister Norma Thompson. Violet gave so much and demanded so little. She was an amazing Mother, Grandmother, and Great-grandmother to all her family. Violet was born in Dalton, SK, moving to Moose Jaw where she worked at the Canadian Forces Base for 18 years. She also catered with her husband at the Moose Jaw Union Centre. She loved to cook and bake and loved having her family and friends around her. Violet was dedicated, generous, strong willed, and always put her family and others before herself. She was loyal to the love of her husband Fred to the end. Violet will be truly missed by all of her family, friends, and neighbours. Special thanks to the staff at the Union Hospital, Dr. Hugo, Dr. Majid, and the staff of W.J.Jones & Son.
