Ann Isabelle (nee Dew) (Warrian) DewarDecember 21, 1924 - September 21, 2010
The death of Mrs. Ann Isabelle (nee Dew) (Warrian) Dewar of LeRoy, SK, occurred at Lanigan Hospital, Lanigan, SK, on Tuesday, September 21, 2010. She was 85 years of age. Ann was born on December 21, 1924, to Harry and Teeney (nee Reid) Dew at Dafoe, SK. She grew up there and attended Dafoe School. Following her education, Ann was employed in town at the Dafoe Café and at Haight Grocery Store. In 1944, she married Jim Warrian. They made their home on a farm at Watson, where their marriage was blessed with two sons. In 1950, the family circle was broken when Jim prematurely passed away. Ann and her young sons continued to reside at Watson. On September 20, 1951, Ann married Duncan Dewar in Humboldt, SK. They purchased the Dewar homestead, where they lived and ran a mixed-farm operation. In 1959, the family moved into the town of LeRoy and continued to farm from there until Duncan's death in 2005. After moving into LeRoy, Ann's sons played hockey and she was their number one fan as she proudly watched them at the rink. Throughout her life, Ann had a passion for gardening and flowers, especially lilies. She loved the outdoors and derived much pleasure from watching the blue jays, chickadees, wrens, hummingbirds, and even the crows which were attracted to her yard, due to the sheltered environment and the generous amount of feed she always provided for them. Other favourite pastimes were playing the piano during musical jam sessions with her friends, travelling to various points in western Canada and the United States and, more than anything, spending time with her family. Ann will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her sons, daughter-in-law, and grandson: George Warrian of LeRoy, and Don and Jeanette Warrian of Lanigan and their son Darren Warrian (Loreen Douglas) of Red Deer, AB; her brother, Lawrence (Evelyn) Dew of Airdrie, AB; and by a special niece, Linda (Don) Carson of Saskatoon. She was predeceased by her first husband, Jim Warrian; second husband, Duncan Dewar; parents, Harry and Teeney (nee Reid) Dew; and by her sister, Emily Martin. At Ann's request, there will not be a funeral service. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Memorial donations may be directed to the Lanigan Hospital Memorial Fund "to assist in patient care", (P.O. Box 609, Lanigan, SK, S0K 2M0). Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.
