WASECA — A very enjoyable carol service, sponsored by the Lutheran Church, was held in Waseca Hall Dec. 7. Besides carol singing, accompanied by the music of the Yellowhead Ramblers, we heard a song from the choir which included some bell ringing and a seasonal reading from the Bible. We also saw a video and enjoyed lunch following.
A big thank you to Lutheran Church members and the Yellowhead Ramblers for bringing this event to Waseca. It is such a busy time of year for all so that means a very special thank you to those who were responsible for a carol service at this very special season of the year.
Welcome home to Walter Campbell who spent a few weeks in Edmonton receiving medical treatment. We hope your health continues to improve, Walter.
Our sympathies to Joyce Jeffrey and family on the death of Alex Jeffrey last week. A private family burial service was held at Waseca Cemetery Dec. 7 with Pat Ribey assisting. The family met at Waseca Community Centre and had lunch there following the service.
Alex Jeffrey was born in 1926 to Douglas and Florence Jeffrey, the youngest of seven children. He grew up in the Lilydale district on the family farm and attended Lilydale School. After doing several other jobs, he bought farmland in the Waseca area and went into mixed farming. He and Joyce were married in 1982 and continued to farm until recently when they moved to Maidstone. Until his illness, Alex enjoyed and worked hard on the farm. He had a great sense of humour and enjoyed his neighbours and friends.
