Edwin John Wollmann
June 18, 1943 – December 22, 2021

It is with sadness in their hearts that the family of Edwin Wollman announces his unexpected passing on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He was 78 years of age. Edwin was born in Cudworth, SK, on June 18, 1943, and grew up in the Bruno area, attending school there until grade ten. On July 1, 1967, he married the love of his life, Diana Reves. He and Diana were blessed with two children, LeeAnn in 1970, and Randy in 1973. They built a house in Bruno and lived there until the spring of 1974 when they purchased the Fritz Meyer farm north of town. With a lot of hard work, they pursued their dream and built a successful farm business, and a yard that developed into one of the nicest in the RM. They farmed until 2016 and then retired to Bruno. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, Eddy loved small children. He would make silly faces and funny noises to get them to smile and laugh. He often played peek-a-boo, but his favorite game was “got your nose.” It was no surprise he was excited by the arrival of two beautiful granddaughters, first Rebecca in 1999, and then Ally in 2002. He always carried pictures of his granddaughters in his wallet and would show them off whenever he got a chance. Attending the girls’ activities over the years was a highlight, whether it was music recitals in Regina, or volleyball tournaments in Saskatoon, Eddy and Diana were often there, and always bright and early, even for those 8 a.m. games! Eddy enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was recognized as being a member of the Bruno Wildlife Club for 50 years, and he served as president of the club from 1981 until 1999. He also enjoyed his time spent at the lake with family. Ed and Diana would rise early in the morning to admire the beauty, peace, and tranquility of the water at sunrise. An excellent carpenter, his skill could be seen in their farmyard and the renovation of their house in town, and in the beautiful furniture he built. This was a passion he passed on to Randy. He also enjoyed a good game of Smear, Kaiser, or Cribbage and somehow always seemed to have the right card. Eddy was a quiet, patient man who was easy-going and rarely complained. When Rebecca was in kindergarten, she was determined to learn to count to 100. Grandpa patiently sat with her as she tried over and over (and over!) until she finally got it right, then had to do it one more time just to make sure. It’s difficult to say who had the bigger smile when she was done. Although he faced some health challenges over the years, with lung damage as a young man, then cancer and a stroke, and finally a diagnosis of Parkinson’s, he didn’t complain about his health. He will be greatly missed and will remain in our hearts forever. Edwin will be remembered lovingly by his wife Diana; his children: LeeAnn (Kevin) Taylor, Rebecca and Ally, and Randy (Theresa) Wollmann and pet Frieda; and his siblings: Ursula (Lawrence) Popovitch, Bernice Schreiner, James Wollmann, and Roland Wollmann. He was predeceased by his parents Bruno and Magdalena (née Lueke) Wollmann, parents-in-law Steve and Mary Reves, and brother-in-law Joe Schreiner. The Funeral Mass was offered for Edwin on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at 2:00 p.m., at St. Bruno Roman Catholic Church with Fr. Pius Schroh as celebrant. Others taking part were: Leland Peterson, cross bearer; Camilla Saretsky and Kirk Riley, altar servers; Nadine Burgess and Diane Popovitch, scripture readers; Theresa Dyczkowski, intentions; Lydia Thoms and Evelyn Tarnowski, memorial table attendants; Randy Wollmann, urn bearer; and organist Denise Krentz with members of the St. Bruno Parish Choir, music ministry. “All those who shared in Edwin’s life,” were noted as honorary pallbearers, and interment followed in St. Bruno Roman Catholic Cemetery, Bruno, SK.
