Vera Margaret Hunter

Vera Margaret Hunter, aged 83 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Thursday, July 16, 2020 after a long, determined battle with ill health.  Vera was born on August 18th, 1936 on the family farm south of Grenfell, SK to Roy and Dorothy (Hextall) Tingley.  She had many happy memories of rural life and often mentioned going to Arlington School on horseback.  Vera worked outside the home for forty years.  Her favourite jobs were Founding Director of St, John’s Nursery School and Recreation Director at Regency Manor in Central Butte.  She spent many happy years living in Riverhurst, SK where Bruce worked the family farm.  Upon retirement and return to Moose Jaw, Vera enjoyed living at Crestview Manor and being involved with Trinity United Church.  She was predeceased by her parents; infant son, Robbie; husband, Bruce; Bruce’s brothers, Jim and Bert; her sister, Elaine; niece, Paula Tingley; and ex-husband, Ken Swanson.  Vera will be lovingly remembered by her children: Brian (Cheryl), Don (Diana), Joyce, and Karen; special daughter, Marcia Mirasty; eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; brother, Bill (Lily) Tingley; nephew, Ben; and brother-in-law, George Burkholder.  The family wishes to extend deep appreciation to Marion, Marianne and Bernice who cared for Mom in her final years, and also the caring staff at Extendicare and Pioneers Lodge.  A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at Rosedale Cemetery where Vera will be laid to rest beside Bruce.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  Gary McDowell, Funeral Director 306-693-4550

    Sorry for your loss, Brian. I saw the obituary when it first came out and thought the picture of your mother looked familiar, but it took till today for it to dawn on me who it was. Sorry for being so tardy with my condolences. Gordon

    To all of Vera’s family, so sorry for the loss of your mum/grandma. She was a sweet, gentle lady who I admired. I went through high school with Karen in Central Butte and had a few visits with Vera and Bruce in Riverhurst as well as in Moose Jaw with Karen. They were both very wonderful people. Rest in peace Vera. Now you and Bruce can dance in the heavens. God bless you all!
