Mrs. Jane (nee Pearson) Dietrick of Quill Plains Centennial Lodge, Watson, SK, (and formerly of LeRoy, SK), passed away at her residence on Monday, March 27, 2017.聽 She was 94 years of age. Jane was born to Joseph and Agnes (nee Moir) Pearson on October 28, 1922, in Jansen, SK. She was the youngest of a family of three boys and three girls who lived on a farm close to Dafoe. Jane attended Alton School until Grade Eight and then Dafoe School. She worked in the Dafoe Co-op Store and on the family farm before moving to LeRoy to clerk at the LeRoy Co-op Store. Jane met Kelly Dietrick and they married on October 19, 1948. They made their home and raised four children on the family farm west of LeRoy. Jane and Kelly retired to the town of LeRoy. The farm held a very special place in her heart. Jane鈥檚 personality welcomed all conversations with her special way of listening and learning about you. She drew you in with her words of encouragement, her smile and her kind, gentle way.聽 Jane was always ready to tackle the difficult things in life for her family and more often, to celebrate the many life 鈥渟uccesses鈥� for her family.
