Starla Melody Dennis

It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden loss of our mom Starla Melody Dennis in Moose Jaw, SK on Sunday, July 12th, 2020 at the age of 62 years.

Starla was born in Moose Jaw on December 6th, 1957 and lived there most of her life.  She enjoyed camping, animals, reading, playing games, laughing, and above all spending time with her family.

She was predeceased by her parents, Margaret and Robert Rittwage; father, Phillip Dennis; sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Larry Vibert; and the fathers of her daughters, Greg Paul and Bill Montgomerie.

Starla is survived by her much loved daughters: Lesley (Corrie) Willfong, Kristin Paul, Jaime Paul, and Kaila Montgomerie (Travis Schmidt); and her adored grandchildren: Kyle, Hunter, Paige, Brooke, Brea, Tessa, Brittyn, Emma, Hailey, and Natalie.  She was a dear sister to Peggy (Frank) Coghlin, John (Charlotte) Kerelchuk, David (Cindy) Dennis, Donna (Greg) Nolting, and Betty (John) Meyer.  She will also be remembered by her many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A Celebration of Starla’s Life will be held at a later date.

Flowers are gratefully declined.  As an expression of sympathy, donations in Starla’s name may be made to Moose Jaw Humane Society, 1755 Stadacona St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550

    To all of Starla’s Family… I’m finding it hard to write my condolences to all of you..I am so sorry for your loss..She and I had many adventures together over our younger years..Most good or even GREAT and some not so good, but through them all we always remained friends..Starla had a spark in her that could not be matched or put out..I will miss her and her beautiful eyes that always let you see her emotions.. I hope you all cherish the many memories and that they help each of you through this difficult time. Rest easy Starla..

    I realize that Your Family do not know me as I have only met you all once at Christmas time 3 year’s ago when you all were at your Mom’s…but I am and was a very good Friend and Starla’s neighbor when we both lived on Alder Avenue.
    I have wondered where she has been..I’ve been trying for month’s to find her, I’ve left messages on her Facebook and have gotten no reply which was very unlike her as we did a very routine get together with each other whether it was for coffee after she was done work and we would sit for hours on or front porch and watch the neighborhood bird’s come to our place on those very hot day’s playing in the sprinkler to cool down…we also would make it a habit if doing lunch..
    When I went by the house to visit her repeatedly and getting no answer I had thought just maybe she might had went on a short vacation but after not getting replies after Leaving her message after message and getting no replies what-so ever I started to get worried because she always no matter what ALWAY’S touched base with me..and I didnt know You Girl’s number’s to phone and ask where the heck my friend has been…
    Only to my shock while trying to find another one of my Friend’s Obituary did I come across her picture..only then did my heart drop..to finally realize that this was why she had Never gotten back to me or answers any of my messages..
    To Kaila, Leslie, Kristin..I’m so Very Sorry for your Families loss!
    Your Mom talked very highly of you girls and she loved you all so very much and lastly I have to also mention that even she missed her Foo but knew that
    He was so very happy being the Head Honcho as the Vet’s Guard Cat!
    I Have and Will miss you my Dear Friend..Till we Meet up again Rest in Paradise ♡
