Glenna Grace Buckmaster
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Glenna Grace Buckmaster (née: Campbell), wife, mom, grammie, sister, aunt, daughter, and friend. She passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 13th, 2025, in Moose Jaw, SK, at the age of 73 years.
Glenna was born in Moose Jaw on November 25th, 1951, to James (Jim) Stewart Campbell and Blanche Isabel Campbell (née: Pottruff). She grew up on the family farm near Lake Valley, SK, with sister Bonnie Mullin.
Glenna began dating Currie Buckmaster during high school and after graduating from Brownlee School, she moved to Regina, SK, becoming a dental assistant. During her time in Regina, she lived with her cousin Betty Ann Pottruff.
On August 5th, 1972, Glenna married her lifelong love Currie and moved to Calgary, AB. In 1973, they returned to the family farm and welcomed their daughter, Crystal Marie (1975) and son Grant David (1978), where they lived until 1992 before moving to Kelowna, BC. While in Kelowna, Glenna delved into her love of interior decorating, and she decorated many homes.
Glenna loved the family farm! She and Currie returned there in 1998 and have remained until today. While back at their home Glenna began working at Yvette Moore’s Art Gallery, where she used more of her design expertise.
In 2001, Glenna and Currie’s beloved son Grant tragically passed away, and his laughter has been missed for decades.
Currie and Glenna enjoyed many vacations over the years and especially loved their time in Puerto Vallarta, MX, where they spent time with good friends and family, and especially the summers they spent at Riverhurst, SK with special friends, Brian and Brenda Rosenau.
Her daughter, Crystal (Grady), welcomed a son, Lauchlin (2010), and daughter, Naomi (2013). Glenna’s grandchildren were a source of joy. The kids are grateful to have made precious memories with their Grammie but mourn the loss of making more.
During the last years Glenna put up a most courageous fight against kidney disease. She battled to the bitter end, never complaining, just doing everything requested of her.
While mom was here with us, she provided unconditional love to her family and friends. She was a constant support to everyone she met. Her hope and love will be everlasting. We will miss her earthly presence immensely but know she is now in milele – the forever, a place of abundance and safety, with her beloved son Grant, her mom and dad, and all those who passed before her.
Glenna was laid to rest on Thursday, April 17th, 2025, in Rosedale Cemetery, Moose Jaw, SK. A Funeral Service will be held at a later date at Moose Jaw Funeral Home.

Glenna, as a mother, wife, aunt, sister, sister-in-law, friend, and beautiful lady,
was such pleasure to have in our lives. She only had goodness and strength in her heart.
Please accept our condolences and love.

So so sorry for your loss Currie and family. Although not often I always enjoyed bumping into her and chatting. She was a lovely person.
Glenna was like a mother to me—a truly remarkable soul whose unconditional love and nurturing spirit touched everyone around her. Her absence will be felt deeply, and she will forever be missed. I find comfort in knowing that she has gained her wings and is now reunited with Grant, who I believe played a significant role in the sadness she endured following his passing.
The loss of Grant left a profound void in all of our hearts, and it’s incredibly difficult to bear the loss of someone we love. I can’t begin to fathom the pain of losing a child. Glenna, with her enormous heart, carried that weight, and it’s evident why she felt the ache of loss so deeply after Grant’s departure.
Yet, she cherished many beautiful years spent with Crystal, the children, and Curry. Their love brought her joy and comfort during challenging times. I will continue to hold Glenna in my heart and pray for her, finding solace in the knowledge that her heart is now at peace.
Though she has transitioned, her spirit will always be with us, supporting and guiding us from the other side. This obituary is a tribute to a beautiful human being who will live on in our memories. May she rest in peace.
Glenna was a special person, so very kind and friendly. Glenna will be missed by family and many many friends.
My heart goes out to Currie and family. Many hugs for all.

Condolences to Glenna’s family. It sounds like she was a lovely person.
She was from Lake Valley where my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother Lamb first settled from Ontario. Their place was next door to the Devine one. Coincidentally, my wife Susan’s father John Parr came from the nearby town of Mawer. My Great Grandfather Lamb moved to the 8 Mile Road North of Moose Jaw later on, it was called “The Lamb Place.” His son, my Grandfather Bruce Lamb, had businesses in Belbeck.
I am sorry for your family losing a life partner, mother, grandmother and friend to many. Please accept my sincere condolence.
