Vera McDougall Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 19 to Jun. 21, 2010.
VERA MCDOUGALL It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Vera McDougall on June 16, 2010 at the age of 54. She will be forever loved and remembered by her husband, Greg, and children, Cara and Gaelan, as well as her mother, Betty Regier; brothers: Arlie (Liz), Ed (Dianne), Norman, Albert (Aline), Leo (Marlene); brother-in-law, Blaine McDougall; sisters: Phyllis Tuchscher, Joan (Bill) Rewuski, Leona (Gordon) Olynyk, Sylvia Regier, Kendra (Don) Fraser, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was predeceased by her father, David Regier. Vera was born on June 11, 1956 in Saskatoon and grew up in Warman, SK. She later settled in Saskatoon and in 1984, she was married to Greg McDougall. She spent her working days at Safeway, Canada Post, and most recently, at elementary schools as an Educational Assistant. She was a devoted, loving wife; an unconditionally-supportive, caring mother; and a faithful, inspirational friend and sister. Her warm smile and gentle manner were always appreciated. In everything she did, Vera acted with honesty, integrity and sincerity. She was a lady of strength and courage. She enjoyed being active, traveling, learning, and laughing. Her ceaseless optimism helped her overcome hardships she faced in life. Words cannot express what a beautiful lady Vera was, how much she is loved and how much she will be missed. Vera`s walk through life was guided by her faith in God and we await our reunion with her. The family expresses a special thanks to the staff at Royal University Hospital for their wonderful care and support during her brief stay. The memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. at MAYFAIR UNITED CHURCH (902 33rd St. W.). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Scleroderma Association of Saskatchewan (465 Willow Bay, Estevan, SK S4A 2G3). Arrangements entrusted to MARTENS WARMAN FUNERAL HOME (934-4888).

Dear Greg and family,
I first met Vera while we were both students at SIAST taking the EA course. Our paths crossed occasionally over the years at various PD days. I remember her as being kind-hearted, generous, and patient. I consider it a blessing and privilege to have known her. My prayers are with you as you remember her and mourn her loss.

I will miss Mrs. McDougall. She was a great teacher. She helped me with spelling and other stuff. She always smiled at me and I felt really happy when I was with her. I will miss her and will think about her a lot.

Dear Greg and family, Debi Neufeld called us with the very sad and sobering news of Vera's death. She was such a special person and you both were always a sweet example of a beautiful marriage. Our hearts are with you and we recall such great memories of our friendship-we still remember the fun we had at the "ice capades" with Vera and Kim and you and me doing the 'pawn shop on the corner in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania' when Fred Schartner presented us with a bouquet of wilted dandelions. If you are ever out B.C. way our door is always open, Owen. This is Kim, I just wanted to add that I always found Vera so pleasnt, as I'm sure everyone else, did, our sincere sympathy to you and all the Regier famiy........Owen and Kim Murphy (ph. #250-359-2239)

I met Vera almost 8 years ago when she took the Educational Assistant Certificate Program in Warman and I was one of her instructors. Vera was a special woman whose warm and gentle nature was infectious. Since that time, it was a pleasure to see her on different occasions and talk. My sincerest sympathy is extended to you. May you treasure the special memories and love of such an extrodinary woman.

Greg and Gaelan,

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Vera. Although we did not know her well, our contact through soccer and the friendship between Gaelan and Derek was enough for us to see that Vera was a warm, generous person who loved her family and spoke with pride of her husband, son and daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Greg, Gaelan and Cara

We were saddened to read about Vera. We got to know Vera and your awesome family through an outside circle of friends, the 96th Highlanders family. We were blessed to have had the privilege to know someone with such demeanor; her warm smile, her willingness to help where needed and her gentle approach are just a few of the traits that come to mind. It was obvious that family was important as that constant glow was evident.

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of you loss, but if caring thoughts can help, they are with you all right now. May you have memories to turn to for comfort, friends to turn to for support and hope and strength to help ease your sadness at this difficult time.

With Heartfelt Sympathy.

I feel privileged to have known Vera. Sixteen years ago, she blessed me when she trusted me with her young children for a few months and told me that I would be a great mom one day. I will miss her greatly.
