Reta Shaw
March 27th, 1938 – May 14th, 2019
Reta Shaw (née: Middagh), aged 81 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away on Tuesday, May 14th, 2019. Reta was born to Viola Holtzman and Hugh Middagh in the town of Bursay, SK. She was predeceased by her parents, Viola Holtzman and Hugh Middagh; along with her sister, Irene and brother, Dave; sister-in-law, Marlene; and special friend Cliff Sjoberg. Reta leaves behind sons: Rick Shaw (Jane), Jack Shaw, and Sam Shaw (Rhonda); daughters: Linda Zinn (Larry), Deb Thiele (Cam), Bev Thompson (Graham), Barb Patzack (Don), and Wanda Shaw (Jim); 22 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren; sister, Pat; and brother, Wes. Reta worked many years at the old Providence Hospital in the kitchen area, then moved into the care aide program assisting others in time of need. After retiring her years of work, she went back to school and received her grade 12 certification, and she was very proud of that achievement. Her many joys in life were baking and preparing family meals. She enjoyed playing cards with family and friends and the activities held at Chateau St. Michaels. A special thank you to the staff of Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, as well as Chateau St. Michaels. In keeping with Reta’s wishes, a Private Family Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Reta’s name may be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association, 917A Albert St, Regina, SK S4R 2P6.
Barb, Don and family; My condolences on the passing of your mother, grandmother and great-grandma. Hugs to all! Take care!!
It’s sad to hear another nice lady who has pass away. My wife & I want to share our sympathy with family, and share with you the comforting words from Bible that we could see Mrs. Reta Shaw a live again in the near future as mention in Acts 24:15.
So sorry to hear of your loss
Soooo many warm memories of Mama Reta welcoming me into her home during my childhood friendship with Wanda. She was my second mom! So many times she included me on their family outings (Sunday suppers at Bonanza! Day trips for picnics… ) Always loved her delicious French toast (on THICK white bread!!) after our many sleepovers. She was such a loving soul, so warm and kind. I am sharing in your loss of this great lady, Wanda and family. May the many happy memories you have made with Reta comfort you all at this tough time.
