Date of Death: May 19, 2018
Bernie passed away at Provost, Alta. on Saturday, May 19, 2018, one day shy of her 94th birthday. She was born on May 20, 1924 and spent her childhood on the family farm near Primate, Sask.
After attending elementary grades at Falconhurst School, she continued her education in Prelate, Sask. and joined the Ursuline Sisters of Prelate. She spent 25 years with the Sisters, teaching in schools throughout the province.
In 1967, she joined the Melville School Unit as a teacher in a two-room school house in Birmingham, Sask. Bernie concluded her career in a supervisory role where she travelled to all schools throughout the Unit. She retired at age 65 and moved to Regina where she lived for two decades until joining her sister, Katie, in Provost.
Bernie was the ultimate aunt – kind, fun, generous and caring. Her warmth was reflected in many ways: making special Christmas dinners for family in Regina, supplying pans of her famous pistachio dessert, acting as confirmation sponsor for many nieces and nephews, and driving long distances (while saying the rosary) to visit extended family.
She loved needlepoint, travel and splitting $20 with her friends at the casino after church on Sunday.
A lifelong teacher, she continued to pass on lessons to those close to her, including the importance of family, faith and a fashionable outfit.
Bernie was predeceased by her parents, Christopher and Josephine (Bichel) Dielschneider; and by her sisters, Frances (in infancy), Madeline Mildenberger and Anna Mary Weinkauf. She is survived by her sister, Katie Reschny; and by her brothers,Tony and Peter Dielschneider.
A mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Mary’s Church in Provost on Friday May 25, 2018 at 11:15 a.m. followed by lunch and then internment at St. Elizabeth’s Cemetery near Primate, Sask
