Elaine Caroline Frost, 84, of Moose Jaw, Sask, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2024, surrounded by her family.
She was born on a farm near Courval, Sask, on February 29, 1940, to Daniel and Violet Schmidt. She was the oldest of her siblings, Marlene and Ken. She married Donald Frost on March 29, 1958. They moved to a farm near Mitchellton, Sask., where they stayed until retirement. They had two children – Ronald (1959) and Laurie (1960). She loved her life on the farm. She always had beautiful gardens and a yard full of chickens. She was a hands-on farm wife. When Laurie started school in 1966, Elaine started driving the school bus and drove until Ronnie’s passing in 1978. She spent many hours at the rink, curling with the ladies and with the Frost family team. In 1997, Don and Elaine moved into Crestview Manor. She was very involved on various committees and found much joy in decorating the building. They sold the farm in 2001 and were officially retired. She enjoyed dancing, walking, playing shuffleboard, league bowling and most of all, shopping.
Elaine was predeceased by her husband, Donald, in 2011; her son, Ronald in 1978; parents, in-laws, and Sister, Marlene. She is survived by her daughter, Laurie Fraser; brother Ken (Judy) Schmidt; grandchildren, Kyle (Steffany) and Sydney (Miguel); great-grandchildren, Henry, Mikaili, Luana, Talulah, as well as nieces and nephews.
She will be remembered for her energy, willingness to help people, and as a caregiver. She led a selfless life giving generously to those around her.
She was the best Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend that we could have ever asked for. She will be deeply missed.
To respect Elaine’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of a funeral, please spend time with your loved ones, as Elaine loved to do.
