Debbie Dodds (nee Wylie), passed away peacefully on October 25, 2024 at the age of 60, surrounded by family and friends. 

Debbie was born to Bob and Carole Wylie in Regina, SK, and grew up in Winnipeg, MB before moving to Port Coquitlam, BC in high school. She returned to Regina where she attended dental assisting school, and went on to work at Pasqua South Oral Health Clinic for many years where she loved chatting, and many of the patients became her lifelong friends. 

Debbie was a devoted mother to Christi and Kayla, who she raised with the love of her life, Darcy. She seemingly had endless number of friends, but her two best friends were her granddaughters, Stella and Sloane. She loved nothing more than shopping for those girls, taking them to the lake, having dance parties or snuggling on the couch. They were her pride and joy, never missing a recital, special event or daily phone call. She was a devout animal lover and demonstrated this both by taking in many strays over her lifetime or by sending approximately 40 animal videos per day to everyone she loved on social media. She was also a mom to her cat, Indigo, and grandma to her dog-grandson, Lenin. 

Debbie made friends everywhere she went. Debbie had a passion for life’s simple pleasures—reading, Hallmark movies, her trailer at the WeeToo Beach, and her Saturday walking class. She had an uncanny sense for when someone needed cheering up and would bring a snack or send a funny video to brighten their day. Those who knew Debbie remember her kindness, humour, generosity, and of course her legendary shopping skills. If there were a shopping Olympics, Deb would have won the gold medal 40 years running. She took note of everyone’s favourite snacks, colours, and scents and would pick them up anytime she saw they were on sale. Music was also ever-present in her life. She famously followed the Bay City Rollers across Canada as a teenager and met Darcy at a Poison concert. Fittingly, her final moments were accompanied by the song “Band on the Run.” 

Debbie was predeceased by her parents Bob and Carole Wylie. She is survived by her loving husband Darcy; daughters Christi and Kayla Olson; granddaughters Stella and Sloane (and their father Steven Kowalsky); her sister Linda Roberts; chosen sister Molly Good; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. We would be remiss not to mention her nephew Justin, who selflessly was a living liver donor for Debbie prior to her passing. She leaves behind many close friends and a legacy of love and kindness. 

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Regina Humane Society, 4900 Parliament Avenue, Regina, SK on Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to an animal rescue of your choice and that you give your pets an extra treat from Deb.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Erna Houghton, on October 28, 2024.  Erna was predeceased by her husband Henry Wiens in 1988; her husband Roy Houghton in 2005; and her special friend Wolfgang Sooker in 2022. Erna is survived by her children Cliff (Eileen) Wiens, Janet (Wayne) Zinn, Diane (Tom) Giesinger, Calvin (Laurie) Wiens; 7 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

Mom was a great cook. She loved crocheting afghans, playing bingo and going to the casino. She also loved the time she was able to spend with her grandchildren.  She was always willing to help out in any way she could.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Moose Jaw Special Care Home, Moose Jaw, SK for the special care provided to our mom.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the [Moose Jaw Humane Society](https://mjhs.ca/).

On October 21, 2024 Betty Frances Oxtoby passed away peacefully in the arms of her husband Christopher Keyes after a short illness. 

Betty is survived by her three children Isabella (Braeydn), Claudia (Nick) and James; her seven older siblings Bill, Reg (Judie), Rodger, Helen McLaughlin (John), John (Karen), Ken and Mike; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; her three beloved grandchildren Brantley, Blair and Harriet; her mother-in-law Catherine and by her father-in-law Walter, with whom she had a special relationship. Betty was predeceased by her parents Isabel and John; her sisters-in-law Deborah (Deck) Oxtoby (Ken) and Paige (Keyes) Nearn (Robert).

Betty was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on April 27, 1965 and lived most of her life in the city. During the last several years she lived at Regina Beach, Saskatchewan where she could indulge her passion for gardening, cooking, sailing and more recently cycling, as well as the many renovation projects an old house brings.  In her youth she was an accomplished equestrian with a love for dressage.

Although Betty was a private, reserved woman, she was a deeply loyal and caring person to those in her circle.  She loved to entertain but was most comfortable tucked out of the limelight, enjoying whatever the event was from the sidelines.

However, her reserved nature quickly disappeared when her competitive streak came out in the heat of many a hard-fought sailboat race. Likewise, Betty had a strong sense of how people should be treated and was often a champion for consumers when taking on bureaucracy or businesses and corporations who she felt were not delivering as they should. Her attention to detail and research made her a forceful advocate for doing the right thing.

Betty was a cat lady.  Throughout her life there was constantly at least one cat and sometimes up to three. Other than a couple of Siamese early on, her preference was always for Tabbies. Her latest and last, Oliver, was rescued one cold night from the local gas station. Although she always said her family was her primary focus, there were times it was a toss-up between family and felines.

To all who knew her, her passing will leave a profound hole though great gratitude in having had the privilege to have had this beautiful and beautifully complicated woman in their lives. In her final weeks she received the most extraordinary and compassionate care from the staff at the Palliative Care Unit at the Regina Pasqua Hospital. In a difficult and painful circumstance her family could not have imagined such generosity and support from complete strangers. Thank you.

A Celebration of Betty’s Life will be held at Regina Beach during the summer of 2025. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Betty may be made to the [Canadian Cancer Society](https://cancer.ca/en/) or the [Regina Humane Society](https://reginahumanesociety.ca/).

On October 23, 2024 our lives forever changed. After battling cancer with such courage and strength, Dad passed away peacefully with family by his side.

Born March 9, 1943, Roy was raised on a dairy farm at St. Joseph's, SK. Before partnering with brother Reg in 1970 to form Wagman Bros. Dairy, Roy worked highway construction all over the province. 

In 1967 Roy met "Ding" (Doreen), in 1969 they were married and in the years to follow they welcomed three children Tom ('71), Mouse ('73) and Nelson ('78).

In 1984 the brothers sold the dairy and the last of the cows left in May of 85. Over the next decade Dad would work as a feed salesman and manager, across the province, making lifelong friends along the way.

In 1995 Mom and Dad moved from their 25-year home to Ituna, SK and began a new adventure, as owners of the Ituna Motor Inn. In 2002, they packed up and moved to Odessa to be closer to family. 

From then until his retirement, he worked in home renovations and landscaping. They moved to Regina, SK for a short time until making their final move to Qu'Appelle, SK in 2022. 

Dad was hardworking but knew how to have fun. Over the years he enjoyed playing hockey as the goalie, with his Balgonie Hotel Old timers "Oly" buddies and taking in every polka fest, near and far. He enjoyed fishing with family, hunting with buddies, and socializing with everyone with a warm beer in hand. He was a lifelong Blackhawk, Blue Jay and Rider fan. He loved his gardens, weekend trips to Plentywood with Ding, sitting in his swing at Mouse and Pete's place watching the animals and a good thick strawberry milkshake. He loved cruisin the backroads and a good road trip. The last trip Pa was able to take was to Portage La Prairie last winter, to watch his youngest grandchild "Gass" Kassie play and win her third National Broomball Championship. Pa didn't always show it, but he loved his family more than anything and was proud of each and everyone of them. 

Roy is survived by his wife Doreen of 55 years; his son Tom (Dannette "Netters") and their children Dakota (Deanna) and their children Mya and Cody James, Hayley (Noah Perras), Payton Wall (Austin) and their son Walker, Hannah-Jo; his daughter Raeleen "Mouse"(Pete) and their children Brett Mayer “Doll" (Bobby Giroux), Colton Mayer (Thomas Jordens), Kayleigh Klippenstein (Kyle) and their children Dahlia and Brooks, Kendra Dalgarno (Kyle) and their son Reid; his son Nelson (Shantell "Little Guppy") and their children Hayden (Ely) and their daughter West-Lynn, Kassie. Roy is also survived by his brother Ernie; many nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law, cousins and so many more that knew and loved him.

Roy was predeceased by his parents Frank and Helen Wagman; his brothers Reg and Jim; and his sister "Renie" 

A very special thank you to the nurses and staff of Unit 5D at the Pasqua Hospital, their care for Dad was second to none, so much love for each and every one of you. Thank you to Dr. Panhwar and Dr. Aslam; from day one, our Dad was in the absolute best care and to Piper at Indian Head. You were Pa's favorite, you brought a smile to his face at every visit even on his toughest days. 

There will be a Come and Go Social as per Dad's request on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. in St. Joseph's Hall, St. Joseph, SK. Come enjoy some great company and a warm beer. 

Our Dad was a friend to many, and Pa to everyone.
