Pauline Katherine Harcourt
March 15, 1917 – January 18, 2018

The death of Pauline Katherine (nee Weisgerber) Harcourt of Humboldt, SK, (and formerly of LeRoy, SK), occurred at Humboldt District Hospital on Thursday, January 18, 2018. She was 100 years of age. Pauline was born on March 15, 1917, to Christian and Katherine (nee Zentner) Weisgerber at Senate, SK. The family moved to the Romance district near LeRoy to set up their farmstead. Pauline attended Natika School in Romance, SK, which was located two miles from their farm. When she finished school she started working at the hardware  and drug store in LeRoy as a pharmacy assistant. On October 5, 1948, Pauline married Dick Harcourt at St. Patrick’s Church in the Caseyville area, west of LeRoy. Together they raised their six children, five daughters and one son.  Pauline later worked as an assistant in the R.M. of LeRoy office.  An active member of the church and community,  she was the first treasurer for the Catholic Ladies Aid in 1948, and was also part of the LeRoy Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary and the LeRoy Donor’s Choice. Pauline really enjoyed the companionship of her female friends in LeRoy. She had a great love for her family and she supported her children with compassion, wisdom, and guidance. Her intuitive nature was always true. Her grandchildren brought her great joy, and she spent as much time with them as she could. Pauline enjoyed much love and laughter with her brothers and sisters, and missed them very much once they passed on. She is the last of her siblings to leave us. Pauline welcomed everyone into her home, and nurtured all with home-cooked meals. She was a woman of the earth and her gardens fed her family for many years. When they retired, Pauline and Dick moved to Humboldt. Sadly, on November 10, 1998, Dick passed away.  Pauline moved into East Side Village in Humboldt.   Pauline will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her six children, five grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild: Lynne Harcourt and family, Rowena (Todd) McKernan and their son Aidan McKernan, and Brendan Bargewell; Kathryn Harcourt (Jim Cruickshank) and their son Ian Cruickshank; Patricia Harcourt; Sheila (Bruce) Kyle and family, Joel Kyle (Brittany Milne), and Brooke (Travis) Hourd; Paulette Harcourt (Terry Flewelling); and Jim Harcourt; former sons-in-law: Ken Bargewell and Rick Morgan; in-laws: Frances Weisgerber, Jackie Weisgerber, Bea Harcourt, and Betty (Andy) Berting; and by numerous nieces and nephews.
