Treva Leona Meena, born November 15th 1940, was the fourth daughter of Cora and Frank Miller. Growing up she was an active and busy girl who played on the Fielding girls softball team for several years and also participated in the church choir and the CGIT. 聽She loved riding horses and playing pranks on people. 聽After finishing her school years in Fielding, she worked at the telephone office in town, where she admitted just a few years ago, that she had snuck a few phone calls to Harold because of the high price for long distance calls at home. Then shortly after, she married him, the love of her life, on July 1, 1961. They welcome three children into the family, Gwen, Carla and Kurt. It was no easy job for her to keep up with them and their activities in addition to preparing meals for the field, milking cows, delivering calves and any other farm work Harold needed help with. However, she made it look easy, because her family was her entire focus in life, and she was there to support them in any way possible. Harold and Treva, along with their family, enjoyed many wonderful family vacations together over the years, as well as camping trips. 聽Treva really enjoyed these trips as she finally did not have to do the cooking. 聽We cannot even begin to guess the amount of roasts cooked and potatoes peeled to take to the field for meals over the year. There was never a dull moment for Treva. As soon as her children left home and were married grandchildren began to arrive, and she sure loved to spoil each and every one of them. As Treva鈥檚 grandchild you always knew that if you wanted something, you always go to grandma first because she would always give you whatever you wanted. It was also a tradition that she took each granddaughter to get her ears pierced as soon as they turned five, (even though her own daughters had to wait until they were twelve, which there were only a few bitter feelings about). It was easy to tell from the beginning that she was her family's biggest fan no matter what they got into, whether it be figure skating, dance, volleyball, softball, hockey, you name it and she was ready to support, cheer, and question any ref with a "bad call". After every single game it was expected that you would receive a call from her so she could learn all the details. Her grandkids were the best way to brighten her day, it is safe to say that the effect was reciprocated. She actively kept track of the family's daily events through writings in her diary. 聽It did solve a lot of arguments over the years, as when there was a disagreement on the date of anything, it could always be looked up. It did not matter what age you got to, Treva still worried about you. If you were headed out on a long drive you could always count on a phone call around the time she figured you would arrive to make sure you made it safely. It might only be two in the afternoon and she would start suggesting that you stay overnight as the roads might get bad or it might be too dark for you to leave. Her yard was her pride and joy. 聽From her trees to her vegetable gardens to her flower beds, she was always eager to show off any new additions. 聽When she moved to town she also became a lover of solar lights and she would be sure to shut the lights out so you could get a better view of them in the dark. 聽She was very proud. Another important part of Treva's life, since she was a girl, was the curling rink. She curled for more than 50 years and even at the age of 75 she was one of the most competitive woman out there. Her passion on the ice was equally matched by her passion for her favorite team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. She always had the schedule printed out in the living room and never failed to catch the game. Her competitive edge always showed through when they played as she was often frustrated when Durant could not make a 鈥渟imple鈥� throw. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandma, aunt, neighbor and friend who never failed to show her kind and caring ways to all those around her. She was a hardworking and loving woman who could effortlessly put a smile on anyone鈥檚 face and her impact on each and every one of our lives is clear here today as we celebrate her life. She has changed us all for the better and she is someone who will always be loved and missed dearly. But it is easy to say she will never be forgotten.
