Elaine Lea Mamer
March 12, 1940 – October 7, 2018

The death of Mrs. Elaine Lea (nee Godart) Mamer of Humboldt, SK, (and formerly of Lake Lenore, SK), occurred at Humboldt District Hospital on Sunday, October 7, 2018. She was 78 years of age. Elaine, the fourth child of Marcel and Louise (nee Buan) Godart of St. Brieux, SK, was born on March 12, 1940, at Humboldt. She attended Miora Lake country school until her parents moved from their farm west of St. Brieux to town. Elaine then attended St. Brieux School. After her school years, she worked on her father’s farm and in their theatre in St. Brieux. Elaine also worked as a telephone operator in Lake Lenore until she married Norbert “Bert” Mamer in 1957. Their union was blessed with six children, three daughters and three sons. Elaine and Bert began their life together on the Mamer homestead at Lake Lenore where they ran their own farming operation, and also helped Elaine’s father on his St. Brieux district farm. Elaine and Bert moved into Lake Lenore in 1961. Elaine devoted those early years to raising their six children and caring for their home. Family always came first in her life. In 1982, Elaine and Bert began doing maintenance work for St. Anthony’s Parish. For 23 years, they took great care in making sure the church, churchyard, and cemetery were always looking beautiful and well kept. Elaine was an active member of the C.W.L., curling club, and Home and School. She enjoyed her hobbies of quilting, needlework and curling in the winter. Each of her children treasure the quilts and tea towels Elaine made for them. During spring and summer, Elaine’s time was spent working outside in her yard. She took great pride in her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. Throughout the years, Elaine prepared delicious holiday meals for her family. After retirement, she and Bert enjoyed spending time at the family cabin at Barrier Ford. Many fond memories were made as family gathered to share each other’s company whether it was a birthday, anniversary or just a weekend get-away. “Mom slipped quietly away to be with Dad on October 7, 2018, the day before what would have been their 61st Anniversary.” Elaine will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her six children: Debbie (Jack) Jestin of Davidson, SK; MaryLou Mamer of Lake Lenore, SK; Marlene (David) Pfeiffer of Humboldt, SK; Brian (Jean) Mamer of Saskatoon, SK; Dean (Cynthia) Mamer of Prince Albert, SK; and Keith (Sharla) Mamer of Melfort, SK; and by 16 grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; her sister, Lois Martinson of Penticton, BC; and by numerous other family members.
