Amelia (Erhart) Obituary
Amelia (Kaye) Friess (Erhart)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kaye Friess; beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Kaye is predeceased by her husband Andrew Friess and is survived by her children Cathye (Lorne) Henning, Alan Friess and Colin (Kendell) Friess. She also leaves behind 6 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.
Kaye was born in Steelman SK. And completed her education at Estevan Collegiate Institute. She was proficient in shorthand and typing, which led to her first job at 17 years old working for the Postmasters Association.
She went on to work for Matchett & Clearwater for the next 40 years. In addition to working full-time Kaye did all the monthly bookkeeping for 7 businesses in Estevan. Then finished her career fulfilling a dream as a court reporter.
As an active member of the community, she volunteered her time on the boards of: Estevan Minor Hockey, Estevan Skating Club, Estevan Bruins, Estevan Fair Days and the 1980 Summer Games.
Mom will always be an inspiration to us, as she never stopped learning. Later in life, she took the Dale Carnegie course along with swimming and golfing lessons.
She will always be remembered for her love of animals, with the SPCA being her favorite charity, and hearing her say "IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE". Wisdom we will always carry with us.
We couldn't have asked for a better parent and will miss her everyday.
