Edmund Joseph Winder

Ed was born on September 3, 1936 near Leader, SK. He married Eva Rivard on April 5, 1961 at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church in Weyburn. They made many moves throughout the years, but Ed’s heart always remained on the farm where he grew up near Midale, SK. The years that Ed and Eva spent on the farm, tinkering in the yard and tending to his crops were the ones that brought him the most joy. Even after the farmland was sold, Ed would make frequent trips to the old homestead to spend some quiet time and enjoy the memories.

Ed was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Eva Winder (2014); parents, Joe and Elizabeth (Reis) Winder; sisters, Rose Fichter & Josephine (Joyce) Mastel.

Ed is survived by his daughter, D’Arcy (John) Megenbir; sons, Brent (Edu) Winder and Jamie (Joy) Winder; grandchildren, Michael (Jaimie), Camille (Tare), Thomas (Julie-Anne), Emera, Shawn, Robyn, Tyrone, Kendra (Travis) and Kale (Anna); brothers, Luke and Tony; sister, Loretta (Weinrauch) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
