My dear Aunt Edith

Edith
Pearl Hewitt, born July 12, 1910 died February 4, 2013 at Weyburn, SK
at the age of 102 years. Edith was predeceased by parents Joseph and
Maud Taylor, her husband Robert Hewitt; sisters, Margaret Evans,
Kathleen Tressider; brothers, Elmer Taylor and James Taylor;
stepchildren Russell Hewitt, Loy Hewitt, Evelyn Finnie, Hazel Parry and
Douglas Hewitt. Edith is survived by her stepdaughters Irene Tully of
Brandon, Roberta Richardson of Vernon, B.C. and daughter-in-law Jean
Hewitt of Carlyle; numerous grandchildren, great- grandchildren, nieces
and nephews. Edith was born in the Nesbitt, Manitoba area in 1910. She
married Robert Hewitt in 1934 and they lived in the Wildwood District
south of Carlyle. In 1937 Edith and Robert moved to Nesbitt during the
difficult drought era. In 1949 Robert became ill and they returned to
reside at Wordsworth. Edith and Robert also spent many years at their
cabin at White Bear Lake. Edith was very involved with Moose Creek
United Church. She was the organist for many years as well as being
Treasurer for the Moose Creek United Church. Edith celebrated her 100th
birthday in the summer of 2010 and many of her family travelled from far
and wide to be in attendance. She lived on her own until the summer of
2011 at which time ill health necessitated a move to Weyburn. She will
be missed by her family and friends as she had a remarkable life as
there are few who were able to see and do the things she did. Donation
in memory of Edith may be made to Moose Creek Heritage Fund. Graveside
service will be held on July 12 in the Moose Creek Cemetery.
Arrangements in care of the Orsted Funeral Home



Tomorrow is the day of the graveside ceremony for my Aunt Edith at our little country church. I have so many fond memories of her. When I was a young child and wanted to sing in the church choir, Aunt Edith would pick me up every Sunday. Actually, she was my great aunt. She was the church organist and was sure to be there. Every memory of Aunt Edith is warm. The smile you see in this picture was always on her face. She was a kind and loving person.

I remember visiting just a few short years ago at another family funeral. She had won the Reader's Digest Lottery! I think is was $100,000. She was 97 years old. I didn't know anyone actually won that lottery. I thought it was a scam. Good for her.



I miss you and will always remember you.
