IRENE BUCHANAN (nee Irene Pearl Kasprick)  BFT p.1-6
It is with deep sorrow we announce the sudden passing of our dear wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend at the Neepawa Hospital on November 17, 2000.

Also left to mourn are brothers Henry (Ev), Benny (Elsie), Jack (Margaret), Clancy (Joyce). She was predeceased by her father and mother Frank and Helen Kasprick sisters Kay and Isla, father-in-law and mother in law Sanford and Avy Buchanan.
Irene was born in Rosedale Municipality on March 16, 1928, and spent her early years in the Neepawa area. After brief stops in Winnipeg and Deloraine, Irene and Mac resided in Shoal Lake, MB, for 40 years. They then retired in Neepawa where she and husband Mac spent 4 happy years enjoying their home, yard, bingo and Wednesday night bowling.
Irene enjoyed cooking, baking and was known for her perogies, cabbage rolls and cinnamon buns. She cherished the time she spent with family and friends to whom she unselfishly gave all her time and energy.
Irene would never say no to a game of cards and spent many late nights demonstrating her knowledge and skills. She was very proud of her home and yard and spent many hours with her husband beautifying her yard with flowers in summer and Christmas decorations in winter.
The service was held on November 21, 2000, at the Neepawa united Church with Rev. George Cargo officiating. Pallbearers were Irene's nephews Andrew Hockin, Lindsay Kaspick, Garnett Kaspick, Ian Wilson, Dennis Kaspick and Bryan Kaspick.
She will be forever in our hearts
To love a Mom and then to part
Is the greatest trial of the human heart
Years of striving, little of play
Loving, giving the whole of the way.
A cherished smile, a heart of gold
To the dearest Mother the world could hold
Happy memories are treasured ever
Of happy days when we were together.
With aching hearts we whisper low
"God Bless you Mother, we will miss you so."
Father in Heaven, hear our prayer
Guard our Mother with tender care
Be a good shepherd, don't leave her alone,
Love her as we loved her
When she was here at home.
Mom,we love you, we are strengthened by you, and we will miss you!

FLORENCE EILEEN CURTIS  BFT page 1-4
On November 29, 2001, at the age of 77 years, Eileen passed away peacefully at her home.
She leaves to mourn her four children Donald (Dawn), Gordon (Wreatha), Tanis (Rob), Shanon and special friend and faithful companion Harold Hosler. In addition she leaves to mourn nine grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; five sisters Violet (Earl), Evelyn (Henry), Betty, Audrey (George), Marie (Murray) as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents Richard and Elizabeth Buchanan, her husband James, her son Murray and her brother Clarence.
Eileen was born on December 16, 1923, in a farm house in the R. M. of Rosedale. She grew up on her parents farm near Riding Mountain and attended school at Tobarmore School. After completing her education she took various housekeeping jobs In Neepawa until being the first female hired by the Neepawa Salt Plant.
On December 26, 1944, she was married to James Robert Curtis and soon after joined him on their farm three miles south of Makaroff, Manitoba. After Jim's death in 1971, at the age of 51, she moved to Neepawa where she resided until her death. She was employed at Zeke's Jewellery and The Co-op.
One of mom's greatest passions was the Royal Purple both in Togo, Sask. and in Neepawa. She devoted 43 years to them and holds a twelve year perfect attendance pin. She rotated through all the offices and held the position of Honoured Royal Lady at least three times.
She had many interests including the Women's Institute in Makaroff, bowling, fishing with Harold, old time fiddling contests, floor shuffling and bingo; especially Tuesday night bingo with family around her. She could play cards late into the night and then get up and cook a family meal for forty people.
One of her greatest loves was being at her cabin in Clear Lake. She loved the visiting, the flea market and was famous for her roast beef suppers cooked entirely on the wood stove in the cook shack.
Eileen was a special person who could cheer anyone up. Even during her long battle with cancer she remained up beat and concerned for others above herself. She never failed to get a smile from patients as she went from room to room with her cart at the Neepawa Hospital.
Funeral service was held December 3, 2001, at the United Church in Neepawa. Rev. George Cargo officiated.
Interment followed at Riverside Cemetery Pallbearers were her nephews David Dunsmore, Garnet Moore, Dick

EVELYN ELIZABETH KASPICK (nee Buchanan)
Evelyn Kaspick, wife of Henry Kaspick, passed away Monday afternoon, February 25, 2002 at her home, in the care of those who loved her.
Funeral services were held at Neepawa United church March 1, 2002 with Rev Joe Ball of the United Church officiating. Interment at Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa, Manitoba.
Evelyn was born at home on the farm near Riding Mountain on April 5, 1925. She was the third of seven children - six of them daughters - born to Richard and Elizabeth Buchanan. She did her schooling at Tobarmore until, at the age of 16, she went out to work as a housekeeper/nanny for various people. While in Neepawa Evelyn met and then married Henry Kaspick in June of 1947.
Henry and Evelyn began their life together on a farm in the Springhill district and 1ater moved to Winnipeg where Henry worked for various farm implement manufacturers. While in Winnipeg, Evelyn worked for Eaton's mail-order and then Perth's dry cleaners. When their daughter Brenda was born in 1950, Evelyn left the work force to take up service as a full-time mother In 1953, the family moved when Henry was transferred by CCIL to Brandon. There the family grew to include Bryan and then Arleigh.
The family grew in other ways too, as Evelyn would take in boarders and foster children. Her home was always a destination for family wherever they lived. That has continued down to the present day with her grandchildren, who have been so much a part of her life.
Henry and Evelyn moved back to Neepawa in 1967, where they opened their own dealership with Cockshutt, and later White farm equipment. For a time Evelyn worked as the parts manager and served the farmers faithfully in that role.
Evelyn was also a member of the Royal Purple and UCI.
During Evelyn and Henry's long years of marriage they enjoyed many trips with family and friends to various parts of the world. Although Evelyn enjoyed travel, what she enjoyed most of all was returning to the comfort of their home.
Evelyn's home was filled with music, as both the Buchanan and Kaspick families were given that grace. It was one thing that gave her some comfort, in her last days, to hear songs sung or played on the piano or guitar
Evelyn was one of the very few people to develop multiple sites for primary cancer. In fact, her case is cited for research.
She first developed cancer five years ago for which she received surgery and two ago, she was again stricken, which meant more surgery and treatment. After a time of remission it reappeared last year which meant still more surgery; but by Christmas she was deemed to be terminal. When she was quite sick, and unable to rise from her bed to greet each visitor personally, she ensured that appropriate hospitality was offered.
Evelyn was predeceased by her parents, Richard and Elizabeth, by her brother Clarence and sister Eileen Curtis.
She leaves to grieve her sisters, violet and Earl McGillivray, Betty Moore, Audrey and George Simon, Marie and Murray Kolesar and sister-in-law Hazel.
Although greatly missed, fond memories will be cherished by Henry Kaspick, her husband of 54 years; by their children, Brenda and Bob Walker, Bryan and Merrilin, Arleigh and Ian Wilson; and by their children, Rob with Lori, Jennifer with Marcel, Rhiana with Greg, Ashlee and Jody Plett, Justin, Angie and Bradley, and by Brenda's step-grandchildren, Terri-lynn, Troy and Tracey. She also leaves two great grandchildren, Emily and Ryler; her in-laws and many nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers were nephews, Dave Dunsmore, Gregory Moore, Richard Buchanan, Dennis Kaspick, Don Curtis, Lindsay Kaspick and Richard Kolesar
Henry and family would like to thank the wonderful friends and family that expressed their deepest, heartfelt support for us during our wife and mother's illness. A special thank you to Dr. Chapman, the health care nurses and Health Care Unit, hospital staff, Harris Pharmacy, White's Funeral Home, and to Joe -Ball and Mary Ellen Clark for all their kindness and support.
