Wilfred Hiske
1946 - 2021
Wilf Hiske passed away at the Weyburn Special Care Home, Weyburn, Sask. on Monday, November 15, 2021 at the age of 75.
Wilf will be forever remembered by his wife of 32 years, Karen; son Aaron (Melanie) and grandchildren: Morgan and Maxim; daughter Shauna Meek and grandson Sam; step daughter Shauna Clubb (Gary) and step grandchildren: Shelby and Toni Leibel; sisters: Evelyn Kusniak and Emily Peacock; aunt Erna Kirsch; uncle Leonard (Jean) Radons, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
Wilf was predeceased by his parents: Rudolph and Helen Hiske; infant daughter Sharla; brother Edward in 1981 and four of Edward's children at a very young age: Warren, Darren, Candice and Chasity; Betty Wright (Aaron & Shauna's mother) in 2005, brothers-in-law: George Peacock and John Kusniak; aunts: Linda, Jean and Elsie; uncles: Leo, Bill, Bert, Jack and John.
Wilf Hiske was born October 30, 1946 in Lestock, Sask. He was raised on the family farm. He attended Eskdale School, a country school house near his parents' farm, approximately 8 miles south of Leross, Sask. Wilf also attended school in Leross, and high school in Kelliher, Sask. He then went to Saskatoon, Sask. after high school and worked for SaskPower, and later transferred to Estevan, Sask. He spent 22 years at Boundary Dam and 14 ½ years at Shand Power Station as a Lab Technician Supervisor. He retired in 2004 with 36 ½ years of service.
Wilf also farmed two quarters of land until 2005, then rented the land out. He was proud of some of the crops that were harvested. He enjoyed music - when he was 5 years old, he played the mandolin at Eskdale school concerts and played the guitar in later years. He enjoyed dancing, camping with his grandchildren, fishing and travelling. He and Karen travelled to many beautiful destinations in the world. Wilf lived a full life and leaves us with many great memories.
Thank you to the nurses and staff at Weyburn Special Care Home for the care and compassion received and thank you to Hall Funeral Services for the care and assistance provided, and Sandy Dalziel for her help in planning and officiating a meaningful service.
A celebration of Wilf's life was held on Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan, with Sandy Dalziel officiating. Immediately following the service, all were invited to join the family for a time of refreshments, lunch and reminiscing at the Royal Canadian Legion in Estevan. Interment will take place at a later date in Lestock, Sask.
If friends so desire, donations in Wilf's memory may be made directly to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, 301 - 2550 12th Avenue, Regina, Sask., S4P 3X1.
Hall Funeral Services in Estevan provided care to the Hiske family - Dustin Hall, Funeral Director.
