KUNTZ, Lydia Marie (Weichel)
September 9, 1931 – June 1, 2016
With heavy hearts we are sad to say that Lydia passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at the age of 84 years. The angels have taken her to Heaven to be with her daughter Elaine; son Harvey; parents Joseph and Josephine; brothers John (Liz) and Adam; sister Kay (Ray) Strand; and Lydia's grandsons Johnny Volk and Trevor Costron. Left to cherish Lydia's memory are her children Leona Volk, Shirley Costron, Lorne (Bev) Kuntz, Corinne Kuntz, Roberta Kuntz, Rita (Gordon) Matt and Calvin (Lorna Hancock Small) Kuntz; daughter-in-law Debby Kuntz; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great- grandchildren; sisters Eva (Henry) Enns, Doreen (Louis) O'Shaugnessy and Bea (Ivan) Hoffman; sister-in-law Lila Weichel; and numerous nieces and nephews. Lydia was born and raised in Montmartre, SK and settled in Regina after her marriage. She worked mainly in the hospitality industry as a waitress and cook until her retirement. Throughout her life Lydia enjoyed caring for her grandchildren as well as spending time with her family. We would also like to thank the nurses and caregivers at Extendicare/Parkside Nursing Home as well as the nurses and staff at the Pasqua Hospital, Unit 3D for their caring and compassion, particularly during her last few days. A CELEBRATION OF LYDIA'S LIFE will be held at Regina Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4001 East Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK on Thursday, June 9, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow. There will be a friends and family gathering after the interment.
