The death of Mrs. Johanna (nee Meyer) Eggerman of Watson, SK, occurred at Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK, on Monday, January 11, 2016.  She was 93 years of age.  Johanna, the oldest of seven children, was born on Sunday, December 3, 1922, to George and Mary (nee Greipl) Meyer at home on their farm near Fulda, SK.  She grew up there and attended Keller Country School.  Johanna was her father’s “right-hand man”, and did lots of the field work.  The lure of the city took her to Saskatoon, SK, for a housekeeping position.  Later, Johanna moved to Prince Albert where she was employed at the Prince Albert Sanitorium.  Henry Eggerman, a neighbor and childhood friend made the trip to Prince Albert to ask Johanna to marry him.  They were joined together in matrimony on June 6, 1950 in Fulda.  Together, Johanna and Henry farmed northwest of Watson and raised a family of two, a son and a daughter.  As the children were growing up, the family enjoyed many fishing and camping trips.  Henry and Johanna retired in 1981 and left the farm to make their home in the town of Watson.  Johanna will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her two children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren:  Larry (Paulette) Eggerman of Watson and family, Philip Eggerman (Deena Ottenbreit) of Watson, Michelle (Ken) Snider of Guernsey, SK, and their children Ethan and Rayna, and Aimee Eggerman (Zach Martin) of Simpson, SK; and Lorena (Edwin) Neitsch and family, James Neitsch and Jason Neitsch, all of Edmonton, AB; two sisters and one brother:  Cecelia Hitchings of Saskatoon, SK; George (Donna) Meyer of Camrose, AB; and Florence Saretsky of Humboldt, SK; and by her nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband, Henry Eggerman (2002); parents, George and Mary (nee Greipl) Meyer; three brothers:  John Meyer, Albert Meyer, and Frank Meyer; two sisters:  Hilda (Stan) Adamson, and Mary Meyer; and by brothers-in-law, Elmer Hitchings and Charles Saretsky.  The Prayer Service for Johanna was held at Sacred Heart R.C.
