Gertrude "Gertie" Florence Hausch, late of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on March 18, 2016 at the age of 88 years. Gertrude was predeceased by her parents; husband, Norman Hausch; daughter, Norma Moldenhauer; two brothers, Bill and Jim Young; sister, Jackie Walden; brother in law, Levi Walden and nephew, Kenneth Sedgwick. Gertrude will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Barb Hunt of Weyburn, SK; daughter, Carol (Les) Sproule of Weyburn, SK and their daughters, Danielle (Michael) Edinborough and their daughter, Moriah and Kaley Sproule (Anthony Gaulard); daughter, Karen Hausch of Weyburn, SK; son in law, Deno Moldenhauer of Comox, BC and his sons, Rody Moldenhauer (Meagan Whelan) and their daughters, Milly and Lexi and Devin (Kimberley) Moldenhauer and their children, Daxin, Cohen and Mackenzie; sisters, Georgina (Mervin) Sies and Margaret (Donald) Sedgwick as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Gertie was born on February 12, 1928. She married Norman Hausch on June 21, 1952 and they began their married life on a farm south of Creelman. It was there that they raised their four daughters. Gertie always had a big garden and did lots of pickling and canning. She had wonderful neighbours and nearly every Saturday evening they would get together for meals and to play games or cards. Some years the family would move into Creelman for the winter months as travel was too difficult to get to and from the farm. Due to Norman's declining health, they sold the farm and moved to Weyburn in 1975. Gertie was Norman's caregiver until it became too difficult for her. He then became a resident at Souris Valley Extended Care Hospital. He was there for almost 20 years, and Gertie, being the loving and devoted wife that she was, visited him as often as she could. The whole family would gather there for family birthdays and holidays as well. Family was everything to Gertie. She was always so proud to introduce her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to everyone she met. She kept many pictures of family displayed in her apartment and treasured and kept any gift she received. As well as being a devoted wife, she was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She will be missed by all who knew her. We will cherish the good times and memories we had with her until we meet again. Visitation was held Monday, March 21, 2016 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, Saskatchewan. The Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 2:00 pm from Weyburn Free Methodist Church, Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Pastor Jody Pfeifer and Pastor Jay Mowchenko officiating. Interment was at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Pallbearers were Rody Moldenhauer, Deno Moldenhauer, Les Sproule, Michael Edinborough, Anthony Gaulard, John Harris and Devin Moldenhaurer.
