James was born to Casper and Mary (nee Kalthoff) Moormann of Humboldt, SK. He grew up on the farm near Fulda and attended Fulda Elementary School.  After completing grade eight, he was given the option to either continue school or to farm.  Farming was Dad’s true passion and he eventually took over the family farm. Dad proudly farmed for over 50 years.  Karen was born to Joseph and Mary (nee Duerr) Feltin at Humboldt, SK.  She grew up on the farm near Dixon and attended Dixon School. She attended high school at the Humboldt Collegiate Institute in Humboldt and completed her grade ten. Jim and Karen fell in love at a very young age and they were married on March 28, 1967. They settled on the Moormann family farm where they raised their two children, Monique and Ross. Together they farmed in the Fulda area until 2000, but they couldn’t leave the tranquility of the farm. Jim demonstrated his enjoyment and knowledge of the outdoors by activities such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and nature photography. Karen was a true homemaker.  She was an amazing gardener, a wonderful cook, and a fantastic baker. In 1995, Karen received her homecare special care aide certificate and she worked for homecare for the next 12 years. Jim and Karen loved to travel and they ventured to many beautiful destinations, including Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico and all over the United States and Canada. Most of all, they loved being at home with friends and family. They dedicated their entire life to their children, but their greatest pride was their two grandchildren. In September of 2013, Karen was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She faced this diagnosis with great acceptance and dignity. Karen fought a hard battle and she met Jesus on January 24, 2017.  Jim’s heart was forever broken after losing his soulmate of 50 years. Jim’s health had been declining over the past few years, and 2 ½ months after Karen’s passing, he joined her in heaven on April 8, 2017. Jim and Karen will be lovingly remembered by their daughter Monique (Todd) Brown and their family, Brayden and Mariah; Karen’s sister, Doreen Munro; her brothers, Joseph (Ramona) Feltin and Ken (Susan) Feltin; and by numerous nieces and nephews. They were predeceased by their son, Ross Moormann in 2006, and by numerous family members who all held very special places in their hearts.  A Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, SK on Friday, April 28, 2017 at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Father Greg Smith-Windsor. Others taking part were: Michael Schlosser, crossbearer; Brayden Brown and Mariah Brown, scripture readers; Kaitlyn Grieman, intentions; Curtis, Ella, Justin and Maya Berscheid, giftbearers; Susan and Haley Grieman, memorial table attendants. Music ministry was provided by Loretta Schugmann as director, with organist Marie Aubin and members of the St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir.  A eulogy was delivered by Monique Brown. Honorary pallbearers were “All those who shared in Jim and Karen’s lives.” Urnbearers were Brayden Brown and Mariah Brown. Interment followed at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery, Humboldt, SK. Memorial donations may be directed to the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation Palliative Care Unit. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.
