Margaret Rose Petersen
August 21, 1923 – April 24, 2016

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Margaret (nee Frederick) Petersen.  Her death occurred on Sunday, April 24, 2016, at her residence, Luther Special Care Home in Saskatoon, SK.  She was 92 years of age.  Margaret was born on August 21, 1923, to Alex and Elizabeth (nee Schikowsky) Frederick in Humboldt, SK, where she was raised and worked.  She married Carl Stuntebeck who predeceased her in 1955.  In 1957, Margaret married Peter Petersen and, together they raised their six children.  There are so many happy memories shared by family and friends in the house on 6th Street in Humboldt, and you knew you were always welcome to their home.  Margaret enjoyed her years working with Mary Baran at the Nu Fashion Beauty Salon, followed by many years working with Darlene at the Scissor Shack.  Some of Margaret’s greatest pleasures during her life were spending time with her family at various lakes fishing and playing Rummoli.  She also enjoyed her chocolate, playing bingo, bowling, and being a member of the Legion.  Margaret’s last few years were spent in Saskatoon, close to her family.  “Mom will be greatly missed by her loving family.”  She is survived by her six loving children, 12 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren:  Janice (Allan Kraft) and family, Mellissa (James Morrisey), and Alana (Erin Mullane) and their children Benjamin, Conor and Kate; Patricia Towne and family, Greg (Trisha) and their children Emily and Sarah, and Scott (Jessica Stigant) and their children Marley and Tabitha; Mary-Lou (Rick Eastman) and family, Kim (Justin Olson), and Nicole; Darlene (Dean Currie) and family, Megan and Erin; Debra (Daryl Haeusler) and family, Shawn (Jyoti) and their children Ellie and Benjamin, and Lindsay Haeusler; and Kevin (Liz Petersen) and family, Erik and Sarah.  She was predeceased by her husband, Peter Petersen (1993); and by her parents, Alex and Elizabeth Frederick.  The Funeral Mass was held at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at 11:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Ephraim Mensah.  Others taking part were: Greg Towne, crossbearer; Kim Eastman and Mellissa Kraft, scripture readers; Megan and Erin Currie, Nicole Eastman, Lindsay Haeusler, and Alana Kraft, intentions;  Erik and Sarah Petersen, giftbearers; Bob and Helen Williams, memorial table attendants.
