It is with great sadness that we share that our mother, Bernice Louise Gleim (nee Grant), died peacefully February 26, 2024, at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina.
Bernice was born November 13th, 1938, in Moose Jaw Sk. She spent her early years in Moose Jaw working for telephones and a few months exploring city life in Calgary. After marrying Richard Gleim in April of 1964, she moved to their farm south of Chaplin. While she never boasted about being a good homemaker, few would dispute her ability to bake a tasty loaf of bread or a mouthwatering tray of buns. Her garden was always a bounty of produce that kept us fed through the year. Bernice never turned down a card game and she jumped at any opportunity to swim laps around us. She loved to travel and visited Las Vegas, Alaska, Hawaii & the Caribbean with Richard. And after he passed, Ross and her toured Chili, Haida Gwaii BC, New Orleans, Belize, Nova Scotia, and PEI.
Bernice is predeceased by her loving husband of 47 years Richard Gleim, and her parents Gordie & Lila Grant. She will be missed by her beloved partner Ross Douglas of McTaggert SK, and two sisters Gerry (Uwe) Schuett of Clavet SK and Shirley (Ray) Hankey of Saskatoon Sk. Bernice also leaves behind her three children, son Greg & Rhonda Gleim of Chaplin, daughter Audra & Kevin Hallborg of Regina, and daughter Nancy & Ryan Hickle of Hanna AB. Grandchildren Bo (Ali) Hallborg of Regina, SK, Ashley (Tyson) Seaborg of Lumsden SK, Nathan Gleim & Tamara Gleim of Chaplin. She also took great pride in her 4 great grandchildren, Clara, Gus, Addison & Brady. And “Aunt Bernice” leaves many nieces, nephews, and cousins to cherish her memory.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday April 19, 2024, at 2:00 PM at W.J. Jones & Son Reception Hall.
