Obituary of Muriel Lindsay-Ewing

Muriel Lindsay-Ewing Muriel Lindsay-Ewing of Regina, died January 22, 2017 after months of struggle with ill health. Born November 21, 1930 in the Craven, SK area to James Lindsay-Ewing and Helen Munro Lindsay-Ewing, she grew up on the family farm in the Kennell District with her four sisters, Daisy Dunsmore, Isabel Zerr, Jean Dench, Mae Krogsgaard. Muriel devoted her life to family, friends and her church. She returned to Regina after living and working in Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto, making fast friends with co-workers and her extended church family in each city. She had an entertaining sense of humor and easily shared her life story, always honouring those who had gone before her. She resisted personal birthday celebrations and photographs whenever she could. As a younger woman she enjoyed travel, but that part of her life was curtailed in later years due to ill health. Aunty cared deeply about those in need and habitually carried coins for people asking for help on downtown streets – always wanting to do more. She held high expectations for herself and others and her praise was genuine. Her games and play with babies and children were a special talent. Muriel’s advice, love and unique perspectives on people and their circumstances will be remembered and greatly missed. Muriel was predeceased by her parents, sisters and nephews Glen Dunsmore, Levi Krogsgaard and Jon Dench. She is lovingly remembered by brother-in-law, Borden Krogsgaard, nephews and nieces, Barrie (Whitney) Dunsmore, Lorne (Sharon) Dunsmore, Gary (Brenda) Zerr, Diane (Howard) Johnson, Ken (Bev) Zerr, Doug (Grace) Dunsmore, Brian (Lorna) Krogsgaard, Lindsay (Roberta) Krogsgaard, Joel Dench. Aunty joyfully related to her 23 great and 28 great-great nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, January 27, 2017 at Glen Elm Church of Christ, 1825 Rothwell St., Regina, SK S4N 2C3. Interment at St. Nicholas Anglican Church Cemetery, Kennell District will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to either Souls Harbour Rescue Mission 3535-8th Ave., Regina, SK S4T 0T6 or to Glen Elm Church of Christ.
