Merleen leaves to cherish her memory, her husband of 53 years Robert "Bob"; two brothers, Cliff (Marjorie) Landsiedel and Milt (Vicky) Landsiedel of Medicine Hat, AB; 3 sisters, Joyce Howse, Ruth Shanks and Donna (Les) Mehrer; sister-in-law Hazel Landsiedel all of Medicine Hat, AB as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their families. Merleen was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Bertha Landsiedelel; Robert's parents, Merle and May Hill and two brothers, Alvin Lansiedel and Leroy Landsiedel. Merleen was born and raised in Hodgeville, SK area. Following graduation she moved to Calgary where she met and married Robert in 1962. They later moved to Victoria, BC where she was employed in a bank until her retirement in 1994. In 2003 they moved to Estevan where she resided until her passing. Robert and Merleen spent many winters vacationing in California and Arizona and after their retirements, they spent many winters in Sun City, AZ. They traveled extensively and enjoyed numerous cruises. Merleen loved to embroider, knit, crochet, quilt and cross stitch. She completed over 100 cross stitch pictures and shared them with each sister, brother, brother inlaw, niece and nephew. Those pictures will always have a special place in our hearts.
Merleen was an excellent cook, baker, chocolate maker and cake decorator. Many family weddings and anniversaries included a special cake decorated by Merleen. She loved spending time with family and we will always treasure the visit, card games and other fun times we had together. A Time of Remembrance will be held at a later date.
