Delma Truelove

Delma Jean Truelove (Bennett) passed peacefully in her sleep at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon on May 1 at the age of 80. She is remembered with love by family and friends. She was raised in Lethbridge Alberta, then married her “true love”, Ed Truelove, in 1965 and moved to the Battlefords area. The two of them spent the next 58 years by each other’s side as best friends and sweethearts, first farming in the Richard area for 25 years and then settled in the Battlefords. She loved to garden, bake, travel, doing a wide range of hobbies and crafts, and spending generous amounts of time with family and friends, for whom her door was always open. She loved her kids and grandkids, always putting them first and her imagination for fun things to do with them worked non-stop. She loved making people laugh, was a great storyteller, and had a little helpful advice for every occasion. She seemed to know when people most needed her, and had a way of being in the right place at the right time. Her faith was a grounding factor in her life, the basis for who she was and for all that she did.

She was predeceased by her parents, Art and Eva Bennett, and is survived by her husband Ed Truelove, her brother Mike Bennett and family, her 3 children, Deb Davis, Darren Truelove and Cheryl Truelove and their families, and her nine grandchildren, Kashif, Jen, Chiara and Tariq Ravasia, Payton, Lucas and Ethan Truelove, and Jasmine and Malia Poirier.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be directed to Habitat for Humanity.
