Paul Peter Thiele

Paul Peter Thiele (June 1st, 1949 – July 21st, 2023) passed peacefully surrounded by his wife of 52 years, Joyce, his children and granddaughters.  Paul was born in Moose Jaw, SK to Mary and Otto Thiele and grew up and went to school in Spring Valley, SK and Moose Jaw.  He met Joyce at a dance and they were married in 1970.  Paul worked at the Providence Hospital in Moose Jaw and at the Claybank Brick Plant prior to accepting the job as the municipal administrator for the RM of Scott in Yellow Grass, SK.  Paul and Joyce raised their family in Yellow Grass, and Paul was active in the local Lions Club, as well as minor hockey.  After over 30 years with the RM, Paul retired in 2012 and he and Joyce eventually moved to Moose Jaw to be closer to extended family.  For the past 12 years, they were snowbirds, spending the winter months in Weslaco, TX, with Paul golfing 3-4 times a week and hosting many happy hours.  As per Paul’s wishes, there will be a celebration of his life at the Eagles Club in Moose Jaw, 561 Home Street West on Tuesday, July 25th, 2023 from 2-4pm.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Paul’s name to the Yellow Grass Rink.  Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.  Michelle Ellis, Funeral Director 306-693-4550

    We are sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He was an old schoolmate, and a good friend then, and throughout later times. Best wishes to Joyce and the family.

    A surprise. Condolences to Joyce and family. We crossed paths with Paul many times over the years, be it Spring Valley, Moose Jaw, Yellow Grass, or Texas. A good guy! Ron and Carol Watson.

    Condolences to the Thiele family. Paul and I played golf together for many years in Weslaco, Tx. He will be missed by all by all all who played golf with him.

    Joyce and family
    Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Paul. He was a good friend, a fellow municipal administrator and I was privileged to work along side of him when the Town, R.M. of Scott and Brokenshell, and Village of Lang worked together on the joint EMO bylaw. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
