Hellen Torgunrud Steiro
On Friday, October 1, 1999, Hellen Torgunrud Steiro passed away at Beautiful Plains Villa in Yellow Grass at the age of 92 years. Predeceased by her first husband, Melvin Torgunrud in 1950; her second husband Ray Steiro; daughter-in-law, Evelyn Torgunrud; step daughter and son-in-law, Alfrida and Danny Scott; stepson Harold Steiro; son-in-law, Julian Ness; stepson-in-law, Alfred Marshall. Hellen will be lovingly remembered by her family: Norma Ness, Merlin Torgunrud, Jean (Mervin) Freeman, all of Weyburn; Janice (Leroy) Walkom of Edmonton, AB; her step-children: George (Selma) Wood, Ralph (Rose) Steiro, Carl (Betty) Steiro, Raymond (Sharon) Steiro, Helen Dummanchuck and Arlene Steiro, all of BC; and Dagny Marshall of Moose Jaw; 34 grandchildren, 59 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. Hellen was born January 30, 1907 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the third child of the marriage of Olof Hanson and Anna Martina nee Johnson. The family came to homestead near Lake Alma in 1910, and only a year later, her mother died. Her father remarried, and Helen was raised in a large double family. On October 9, 1925, Hellen married Melvin Torgunrud, whom she had known in the community. They farmed in the Maxim area and raised their family of four children: Norma (whose twin Nina died in infancy), Merlin, Janice and Jean. There were many hard years, and Hellen involved her children in her clothes sewing projects, supervising and completing everything from reclaiming cloth to cutting patterns from catalogue models to sizing hand-me-downs, all at the kitchen table. Hellen was quite musical, playing piano, guitar, and electric autoharp. She played for church services at the Round Grove School House and later at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. She instilled music in her children, and together with Melvin they played at many house parties and school dances. Then Melvin was stricken with cancer, and he died after three months in hospital. Hellen was remarried on July 16, 1951 to Ray Steiro, and surprised the family with the announcement of their honeymoon. With four of Ray's children still at home and two of Hellen's, theirs was a busy household. Hellen was known to make 12 loaves of bread every other day. Cook, cook, cook described her main occupation, for family, company, friends and harvest crews. Recreation was whist and other card games, dominoes and checkers of different types, and of course music. But central in life was church involvement at Emmanuel, with Luther League and Ladies' Aid, especially the quilting bees. Hellen was best know for her hand-stitched quilts, which were presented at many family weddings. Her goal, which she achieved, was to prepare a quilt for all her children's children before she died. In 1973, Ray and Hellen moved to Weyburn. They joined the seniors group and enjoyed traveling and many other activities with them. After Ray died in 1985 Hellen sold the house and took a two bedroom apartment, turning one room into her sewing den. As arthritis worsened, she moved to the Beautiful Plains Villa in Yellow Grass. Eventually arthritis confined her to a wheelchair, but her strong faith sustained her, and she drew others into a regular communion circle. With increasing loss of independance, hellen increasingly waited on God's timing while expressing her love and appreciation for her family and friends. Then on October 1, after declining to have breakfast, Hellen died peacefully in her bed. She was a very special person and a great mother, and will be very sadly missed. Funeral service was held Tuesday, October 5 at 2:00 p.m. from Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn, with Pastor Ron Bestvater officiating. Interment followed in Green Acres Memorial Gardens, Weyburn. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were her grandsons: Rick Torgunrud, Daryl Torgunrud, Garry Ness, Mervin Ness, Ken Freeman and Bob Walkom.

They began their family on the farm, and then moved to Moose Jaw in the early 1940's. Vi completed her school education in Moose Jaw and met Ray McDonnell through her father's work. After a romantic courtship of softball and dancing, they were married on May 8, 1948 at St. George's Anglican Church. With the blessing of their parents and families, they set out to raise a new sub-species of the Clan. They raised seven children (their first daughter, Linda, having died in early childhood); who gave them 15 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, and 33 nieces and nephews and four great nieces as well. Their 50th Anniversary Surprise Party thrown by the family says it all.

She was the bookkeeper and salesperson until they closed their business in Weyburn in 1986. During hard times, Vi was a rock of support and strength. A heart attack about six years ago revealed diabetes. and worsening asthma. After prolonged hospitalization this summer, she took insulin at home and was on continuous oxygen. Now it was Ray's turn to support and help, which he did with oxygen machines and insulin assistance and emergency trips to the hospital. He never left her side, and feels that they drew a lot closer during this time. During 5-1/2 years of marriage, Violet collected not only spoons and figurines, but also grandchildren and their toys. She not only figured out crossword puzzles, but also knew much love and many good times. She and Ray did everything together, both work and family, and grew as they learned together.
