• Notes

  Reta Mae (Snyder) July 16, 1914 - September 17, 2011 Reta peacefully passed away at Spruce Manor Nursing Home in Dalmeny, Saskatchewan on the morning of September 17, 2011. She is survived by her sister-in-law Dorothy Snyder, of Waterloo, brother-in-law Lyle and Jean Shantz; sons Ross (Betty) and Neil (Corinne); five grandchildren Troy (Heather), Ryan (Sarah), Cory, Reagan, and Renee (Ryan) Campbell; as well as five great-grandchildren Libby, Callum, Tully, Kellie, and Evlyn all of Saskatchewan. Reta was born at Waterloo, Ontario as the third of four children. She married Arnold Shantz from Guernsey, Saskatchewan, November 6, 1943. Reta and Arnold moved back to Saskatchewan in the spring of 1946 to begin a long career in farming near Guernsey where they partnered with Lyle (Arnold's brother) and his wife Jean. Sharon Mennonite Church was Mom's spiritual home for many years. She was faithful in serving in so many aspects of the church community. Her faith in God was most vividly expressed as she lived her life each day. She thoroughly enjoyed her family and friends as well as her hobbies of gardening, caring for her yard, and quilting. Her quilts were amazing and frequently brought many bids at the annual MCC sale in Saskatoon. She loved having her family and friends visit from Ontario. She was a wonderful Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend and will be missed by many. A memorial service will be held to celebrate Reta's life at the Philadelphia Mennonite Church near Watrous, Saskatchewan on Friday, September 23 at 2: 00 p.m. The family would appreciate if memorial donations were made to THE GIDEONS. A private family interment will be at the Sharon Church Cemetery at 10: 30 a.m. Friday morning.
