    Obituary for Delma Phylis Demarsh

    Delma Phylis  Demarsh
    Delma Phylis DeMarsh was born June 28, 1927, in a farmhouse near Burgess corner. She passed away September 24, 2017, in the Tisdale Hospital, surrounded by family.
    Mom and Dad lived on the family farm south of Valparaiso until they moved into Tisdale in 1967. Mom lived in her own home after dad’s passing, until Caleb opened in the spring of 2012.
    Mom was an amazing cook and made feeding a crowd look easy. These skills and her recipes, which she knew from memory, have been passed down, although we all strive to master her home-made soup “recipe”. Mom was still cooking and baking, even making rhubarb pies, beetniks and cottage cheese roll- ups this year.
    Mom cared about looking her best at all times. She had a standing appointment to have her hair done every week, loved to buy new clothes every season, and even last week wanted to know the new color for fall this year.
    Mom’s life was centered on her family. She especially loved visiting with all her grandchildren, meeting their partners and welcoming all the new great-grandchildren into the family. Mom was the glue that kept us all together. Each of us called Mom every day to find out what she was doing and she would inform us about everyone else.
    When Mom was in her late sixties, she was declared legally blind. She adapted remarkably well, maybe because she had such an incredible memory.
    Friends were very important to Mom; she appreciated her long standing friends and enjoyed making new friends at Caleb.
    She loved playing “golf” at Thursday night cards, ice cream on Saturday afternoons, popcorn on movie nights and happy hour on Fridays. Mom loved country music and missed dancing with dad.
    We were fortunate to have celebrated Mom’s 90th birthday at the beginning of July with almost all of the 72 members of the immediate family present. It was a special time together that we will always cherish.
    Mom will be missed and forever remembered by her six children: Carol (Larry) Zbitnew of Edmonton, Diane (Allan) Moen of Edmonton, Judy (Rick) Teale of Prince Albert, Don (Shirley) DeMarsh of Tisdale, Dave (Terry) DeMarsh of Tisdale, Debbie (Kevin) Hunt of Moosomin; 17 grandchildren: Sherri, Shauna (Doug), Geoff, Tricia (Wyatt), Tara (Darren), Trevor (Genevieve), Darren (Yoko), Dionne (Mike), Chantelle (Chris), Dayne (Katie), Desirée (Connor), Danielle (Tom), Jordan (Amanda), Lindsey, Brittany (Ian), Tanner (Kaylea), and Connor; 27 great grandchildren, with 2 more on the way and no doubt more to follow, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
    Mom was predeceased by Gordon, her husband of 63 years; her grandson Todd Teale; her parents; her sister and two brothers.
    Donations may be made to the CNIB – Reading Program as
