POWELL - Grace Edna (nee Prime), aged 88 years of Saskatoon, Swift Current and most recently, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, passed away on Thursday, March 10, 2005. In keeping with Grace's wishes, no funeral service will be held. Grace was born on November 3, 1916 in the Horse Butte district near Kyle, Saskatchewan. She married W.F. (Bill) Powell on July 16, 1943. Grace was predeceased by her parents W. Oswald and Jean Prime, husband Bill, brothers Jack, Ray and Gordon, sister-in-law Bea and partner Art Noble. She is survived by daughters Sharon Matthias, Donna Powell, Carol Weisgerber (David) and Janet Goodwin (Bill); grand children Raymond (Sue), Kristi, Jonathan, and Lindsay; sister Doreen Wilson and sisterin-law Marge Tisdale, along with numerous nieces and a nephew. The family is indebted to niece, Vicki (Prime) Shouldice, for her loving care during these past months, and to her family for their support and thoughtfulness. Grace graduated from Moose Jaw Normal School in 1938 and taught in the Horse Butte area. She took great joy as a choir member of Saskatoon Third Avenue United Church for almost 30 years, always enjoyed gardening and working with flowers, and still danced several times a week into her 80s. In the mid-1960s, Grace was one of the pioneer women life insurance agents, and focused on helping women to provide for their families. She was immensely proud of raising her four daughters. Nothing was more important then "my girls. " Grace had many cherished friendships and touched many people over the course of her life. She is remembered as a special lady. As an expression of sympathy, contributions may be made to Providence Place, 100 2nd Ave N.E. Moose Jaw S6H 1B8. Arrangements are entrusted to Parkview Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services, Moose Jaw.
