Idabelle F. Embury

January 21, 1933 - July 9, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Idabelle Florence Embury (nee Tait) on July 9, 2020. Ida was born on the family farm near Dilke, SK to James and Amelia Tait. She attended Dilke Elementary and Central Collegiate in Moose Jaw, where she excelled at sports. In 1952 she joined the Air Force as a teletype operator and served overseas. She married Ross Embury on June 21, 1954 and resided in various places in Saskatchewan, as Ross worked with the CPR. In 1972, Assiniboia became their home. Ida was involved with all her children’s sports and activities as well as her own love of golf and curling. The “Entertainers” were a very special part of her life, with lots of music and laughter. Many people will remember her for her rendition of “Jake the Peg”, the chicken chariot, and playing the washtub bass in the jug band.

Ida was predeceased by her husband, Ross and daughter, Sharon as well as her siblings, Ethel, Alice, Alex, Bert and John. She is survived by her children: David (Brenda) Embury, Debra (Harvey) Hysuik, Susan (Joe) Lytle, Brian Embury, and son-in-law Blair Oancia; 11 grandchildren: Jenna (Quenton), Kaitlin, Craig (Crystal), Brett, Callie (Brennen), Matthew (Cassandra), Braden, Mackenzie, Robert (Judy), Vaughn and Anna; five great-grandchildren: Lucy, Myles, Adalyn, Isaac and Warren; sister Dorothy (Don) Swenson, brother Charles (Marlene) Tait and sister-in-law Luise Tait, and several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, July 13, 2020 at 2 pm at Ross Funeral Chapel. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, social distancing rules will be applied. Interment to follow at Mount Hope Cemetery, Assiniboia, SK, and your attendance is welcomed by the family.
