With much sadness in our hearts, we, the family of Lorne Rodney Sovdi and Dorothy Eileen Sovdi announce their accidental passing on Sunday, May 3, 2015, at the ages of 74 and 70.

Although mom and dad were taken too soon, it is of great comfort to us that after 51 years of marriage, they can remain together to begin their new lives.

Their memory will be forever cherished by their children, Colleen (Monte) Matus, Verdynne (Dale) Gilchrist and Grant Sovdi; grandchildren, Amelia Matus and Evan Sovdi, as well as Evan's mother, Trina Yasinski; honourary grandson Brayden Wrubleski, as well as Brayden's mother, Denise Hein; Lorne's siblings, Marguerite Bryson, Janet Jorgenson, Gloria (Calven) Johnson, Karen (Keith) Memory and Allan (Anna) Sovdi; Dorothy's siblings, Cecil (Karen) Memory, Russell (Sherrille) Memory, Hazel Memory and Wes (Connie) Memory, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

They were predeceased by Lorne's parents, Earl and Mabel Sovdi; Dorothy's parents, Alvin and Christine Memory; sister Karen (Memory) Bergstrom; infant sister Eileen Sovdi; brothers-in-law, Doug Bryson and Boyd Bergstrom; nephew Bruce Bryson and infant nephew Kevin Memory.

A service to celebrate the lives of Lorne and Dorothy will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, Estevan, with Pastor Stewart Miller officiating. A private family interment will take place at the Torquay Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency or a charity of choice would be appreciated by the family.

"When it's yer time, it's yer time."
