Elsie TELFER Obituary

Published by Saskatoon StarPhoenix from Nov. 25 to Nov. 27, 2015.
ELSIE TELFER
In the beautiful part of the day the Lord had made, Elsie went to be with her Lord in heaven. Elsie had a short battle with cancer and at the age of 68 was relieved of all suffering. Elsie was predeceased by her mom Ann Dziadyk (1983), her dad, David Dziadyk (1997), her sister Stephanie Henry (1980), and her son Bobby Telfer (1986), who she missed terribly. Elsie was a gifted cook and enjoyed entertaining others with her meals. She made friends easily and was not shy in a gathering. Elsie was a hard worker and had taken an early retirement after 33 years of service from Intercontinental Packers, where she was the first lady foreman. It didn't stop there for her to retire, she went on to work at Federated Coop in Saskatoon and ending her work load in Penticton, BC at the Superstore. Her last prayer was to come back to Saskatoon and live her last days with her family. She is survived by her daughter Melinda- Gail Rebalkin, her 2 precious grandchildren Mckayla Rebalkin and Noah Rebalkin; her oldest brother Bob Dziadyk (Francis), their daughter Monica (Dan) Bilodeau and their children Kathleen and Steven; her brother Jack (and near to her heart Bernice), their children, Godson Adam (Cortney) Dziadyk and Mike Dziadyk and sister Marge (Larry) Weigel. Elsie had many struggles in her life but in her last years she recognized that the only place peace came from was from the Lord Jesus Christ. She gave all the thanks to God from where she came from and where she was going. The family want to give huge thanks to all the staff for all the hard work they did at the Hospice House in Penticton, the caring staff at Penticton Hospital in BC., the knowledgeable staff and doctors at Kelowna Cancer Agency, the homecare workers and nurses, social workers in Saskatoon, and the loving staff at St. Paul's Med. Floor and Flex 2 Unit. Thank you for the care you all do. The Celebration of Life Service will be held at the Neighborhood Church, 233 Pinehouse Dr., Saskatoon, Sk. at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 27, 2015 with Rev. John Drisner officiating. Arrangements are entrusted to MARTENS WARMAN FUNERAL HOME (306-934-4888).

I'm so shocked to see that Elsie passed away. I don't know if you remeber me (Miriam from Germany), but I stayed with Elsie at Farmer John's Petting Zoo for about 6 month and we had a great time together. I tried to get in contact to her all the years but now I know why she coudn't answer that often. I'm so sad to hear that she had to suffer in her last days. She was like a mother to me while I stayed in Canada and I learned a lot from her. She was such a great person and even if she had gone through a lot she was allways strong. I espacially remember all the great meals she cooked for me.
My thoughts are with all of you.
Rest in peace, Elsie

Melinda, our thoughts are with you and your family. Elsie was one of the strongest woman I ever knew. She was a leader and it showed in her work and every day life. I was proud that she was the First Lady supervisor at Intercontinental Packers.

Gail and family, Jack and Bernice, Butch and Marge, words cannot express how sad our family is to hear of Elsie's passing. I have known Elsie since we attended Princess Alexandra School together and then many years of close friendship in the cottage days at Cochin. Elsie was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was a personality that would light up a room and she always made you feel welcome when you stopped to visit. May you all take solace in knowing how much Elsie was loved, by so many. Her passing will leave a void in many lives but our family is very grateful for having had the opportunity to spend many great times together with Elsie and her family over the years. Rest in peace my friend.

My sincerest condolences to Melinda, McKayla,Noah,Jack,Bernice,Adam & Cortney in the passing of your dear Mother,Grandmother & sister. Although I had met Elsie years ago it was only in the last few months that I really got to know her when Melinda brought her back from BC. My heart rejoiced to learn she had accepted Jesus and because of that and the great love that surrounded her by all of you when she returned to Saskatoon she was able to leave this earth in the most beautiful and peaceful way. Your struggles are over now Elsie and may you rest in the loving arms of Jesus until we see you again.

Much Love,
Linda Guenther
