Mary Caroline Nordick
December 4, 1917 – April 4, 2018

Mary was born on December 4, 1917 to Peter and Catherine Winand (nee Schuldt) near Watson, Saskatchewan, on the family farm where she grew up, the farm that has been in the Winand family since the year of her birth. In 1943, she married Leo Nordick. Together they raised a family of 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls. They also boarded a young girl who became a big sister to all. They spent their lives farming in the Englefeld district until their retirement in 1974, after which they remained in their home in Englefeld, a home that she and Leo had built on the farm before their moving house and home into town in 1953. Mary took great pride in her garden and yard, especially her shrubs and trees. Her garden helped feed the family, but her yard was her retreat.After Leo’s death (1993), she continued to live in their Englefeld home until the age of 91. In 2009, she moved to Humboldt where she resided at the Harry Ford Centre until 2012. From 2012 until her passing, she resided at Quill Plains Centennial Lodge, Watson. Mary loved a good card game. Many hours were spent playing Schmier and Cribbage with family and friends. Other hobbies she loved in later years were her puzzle books and reading.After retirement from farm life, she took up painting, creating lasting memories in oils, pastels and pencil for her children and grandchildren, relatives and friends.
