Ingrid WEIR Obituary

Published by Saskatoon StarPhoenix from Mar. 6 to Mar. 7, 2013.

WEIR, Ingrid (nee Jastram)
Ingrid Weir, 82, passed away on March 4, 2013 at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She was born on March 13, 1930 in Whitewood, Saskatchewan to Frederick and Annemarie Jastram. Ingrid grew up in St. John's district south of Whitewood. She graduated from Whitewood High School in 1948. With one summer of Moose Jaw Normal School, Ingrid began her teaching career at Park-in school. Other schools were at Antelope, Lemberg, Aberdeen, and Brunskill Elementary school in Saskatoon. The rest of her teaching qualifications were earned during summer sessions at the U. of S. Ingrid married Malcolm Ross Weir in 1955 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were happily married for 57 years. Ingrid was completely involved in the farming operation, her family's interests, and community projects. She was a member of the Aberdeen United Church and with Malcolm organized many community events and fundraisers. She loved creating a beautiful yard and lending a listening ear to anyone needing encouragement and support. Ingrid and Malcolm enjoyed their retirement in Saskatoon making a whole new set of wonderful friends in their condo complex. Ingrid's family is especially thankful for the quality care Ingrid received during her five months at Porteous Lodge. Ingrid was preceded in death by her son, Gavin Frederick, her parents, Fred and Annemarie Jastram, her brother Harry Jastram, and her sister Hilde Ruecker. Ingrid is survived by her husband Malcolm, her daughter Hilde Besic (Dubravko), grandchildren Rayleen and Amroy Besic, her brother-in-law Alfred Ruecker and many nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Paul's United Church, 454 Egbert Ave., Saskatoon at 2:00 p.m., Friday, March 8, 2013. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to Jubilee Residences - Porteous Lodge or the Alzheimers Society. Arrangements are entrusted to MARTENS WARMAN FUNERAL HOME (934-4888).

There are two types of people on this planet; those who strive for gain and those who live to give. Mrs. (Mom) Weir was always one of the latter. Those who loved her & counted on her gifts will miss her, but the earth is a richer place for her having been here. My sincere condolences go out to the family & friends she left behind, but I know the memories are all good ones.

Heaven is a very lucky place right now. An amazing woman with compassion, integrity and humor has entered. She will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. Our deepest sympathies go out to you all.

Dear Mr. Weir, Hilde and family,
There are no words that can possibly ease the pain of your loss, but know that there are those of us, who share your sorrow. I feel blessed for just having known your wife and mother - such an inspiration and so many fond memories - Sunday School, Explorers, Fall Suppers, etc.
As Christians, we try to follow the teachings and live the commandments. Most of the time we fail miserably but continue to strive to better ourselves. Mrs. Weir was always such a self-less and generous woman - the epitomy of a 'Good Neighbour' and living proof that we really can be better people if we try. Our 'Community' WAS a pretty great one because of your family's tireless and continuous involvement. I am certain that there are as many loving arms awaiting her in heaven as there are those left behind. Keeping you, all, in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Mrs. Weir, until we meet again.

Mr. Weir, Hilde and Family: You have been amazing role models for the Aberdeen community. Ingrid was always so kind. I loved her eyes, the way she would look like she was sharing a hug, sharing a part of herself. It was always beautiful to see Mr. and Mrs. Weir together. Hand in Hand with such an endearing embrace in their eyes. I've walked behind you in Saskatoon, not wanting to shatter the moment of seeing you both together. Always such love. My heart goes out to you in this time of loss.

I last saw Ingrid when she attended the day program at Oliver Lodge. I recognized her immediately and introduced my self to her. My name wasn't important to her, she kept saying I had Martha eyes. That put a smile to my face as I remembered the friendship they had. Ingrid was a wonderful friend to my Mother and our family. Her memory will be held in our hearts.

Our families have been joined since Mrs. Weir taught Dad in Grade 1 - who knew how wonderful our journey would be. So many memories of you and Mr. Weir and Grandma and Grandpa McDonald - and those late night Kaiser games! It wouldn't have been the same growing up in Aberdeen without you. Mr. Weir, Hilde & Dubravko - we send you much love and strength... you've seen so many through hard times, now let us be there for you...
