Iona Delores Gadd

Iona Delores Gadd passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer with family and friends by her side on November 30th, 2018 in Moose Jaw, SK.  Iona was born in Weyburn, later moving to Tilney where she received her education at Tilney, Briercrest and STI in Moose Jaw.  She married Ron on July 22nd, 1966 and together they raised three children.  Iona worked at C.F.H.A, 15 Wing Moose Jaw. She loved animals, motorcycling, snowmobiling, dancing, crafting and yoga, but most of all she loved spending time with family and friends.  Iona was predeceased by her parents, John and Elizabeth Schreader. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Ron; children, Rob (Jenny), Ronda (Roger) and Ryan (Denille); four grand dogs, Darius, Meatball, Cosmo and Jax; sister, Joy and special son, Brett.  In keeping with Iona’s wishes, a private family service will take place at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Iona’s name may be made to The Moose Jaw Humane Society Box 1658 Station Main Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550

    Dear Ron and Family. Allan and I send our condolences.
    Iona, for as long as I knew her she always found the good in people; Iona was such a positive person.
    She and I worked together for 10 years, she always made our day happier. I still can remember, when I had a flat tire, Iona showed me how to change the tire.
    You will always be a warm place in my heart.

    It was always so much fun working with Iona on Pasqua Community Dinner productions. She was a cheerful woman of many talents. I enjoyed hearing details of her adventures such as her motorcycle trip to Medicine Hat this past April. She often inquired about how my “puppies” were doing. Please make sure that you take good care of the dogs she has left behind!
