Delphine Josephine Weyland
May 19, 1935 – March 22, 2018

The death of Delphine (nee Herman) Weyland, age 82 years, of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, SK, (and formerly of Humboldt and Bruno, SK) occurred on Thursday, March 22, 2018, at Humboldt District Hospital.   Delphine was born on May 19, 1935, to Alois and Mary (nee Weiman) Herman at home on their farm northwest of Bruno.  She enjoyed growing up on the farm and you could always find her helping her dad outside.  Delphine often told stories of the household and outside chores she shared with her three sisters and one brother.  She attended Thiel-Krentz School which went up to Grade 8.  After completing her formal education, Delphine worked as a helper for a family on a farm in the area.  Eventually, she moved to Humboldt and worked at the Princess Café, until she found employment at the Bruno Hotel cooking and cleaning. In August 1953, Delphine married Arnold Weyland.  They began their life together on a farm north of Bruno.  On August 10, 1954,  they were blessed with a son, Lloyd.    She enjoyed all aspects of the farming lifestyle, and assisted with seeding, baling and harvesting, and tended to the livestock chores.  As well, she always planted and harvested a large garden.  Over the years, Delphine spent many hours practicing ball with Lloyd and watching his games.  She enjoyed curling in the winter.   In 1967, Arnie and Delphine’s dad introduced her to Anglin Lake, and her love for the lake life began. It wasn’t long after that Delphine and Arnie started to build their  own cabin up at Anglin, which was a work in progress for many years!  She often commented that it was a tent with four walls for quite some time, but at least it didn’t leak like a tent.  Much of her money raising and selling chickens sure came in handy to keep the construction progressing.  Arnie and Delphine loved sharing Anglin Lake, the fishing and good times with their family and many friends for many, many years.  She always had time for a visit, and her hospitality was truly remarkable.  Delphine’s talent for sharing stories and her great sense of humor always had you entertained.  In 1974, Arnie and Delphine moved to their new house in Bruno, and continued to farm.  Delphine also began working at the Convent as one of the “cleaning ladies”.  When they stopped farming, she missed the harvest season the most.  Delphine was an accomplished cook, seamstress, knitter, quilter, crochetter, fisherwoman and card player!  Another passion was music; she played the keyboard and guitar and loved to sing.  Delphine started singing with the Melodiers in the early 2000’s.  She moved to Humboldt in 2002, and enjoyed her new friends at the Harry Ford Centre. By 2010, signs of Alzheimer’s began.  She became a resident of Evergreen Country Home in LeRoy and then in 2013, Delphine moved into Bethany Pioneer Village.  Despite having Alzheimer’s, her joy of music, her social personality, and her kindness continued to shine towards others.  Her three grandchildren gave her such joy and she was so proud of all of their achievements and talents. She will be missed in so many ways.   Delphine will be lovingly remembered by her daughter-in-law, Helen (nee Pozniak) Weyland of Humboldt, SK; three grandchildren:  Jay Weyland and Meagan Gebers of Edmonton, AB, Maria Weyland of Swift Current, SK, and Cody Weyland of Regina, SK; two sisters:  Celestine Slater of Regina, SK, and Aurelia Ursu of Saskatoon, SK; one sister-in-law, Beatrice Herman of Bruno, SK; two brothers-in-law:  Elmer Weyland of  Humboldt, SK, and Delmer Weyland of Pilger, SK; numerous nieces and nephews; and by many very special friends.  She was predeceased by her husband, Arnold Weyland; son, Lloyd Weyland; parents, Alois and Mary (nee Weiman) Herman; sister, Leona Ludwig; brother, Arthur Herman; brother-in-law, Wilfred Ludwig; two sisters-in-law:  Linda Weyland and Ramona Weyland; and by her parents-in-law, Ed and Tillie (nee Eckl) Weyland.  The Prayer Service for Delphine was held at Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, on Monday, March 26, 2018, at 7:30 p.m., led by Nestor Trach and organist Darlene Cash.  The scripture reader was Cindy Anderson, and the eulogy was delivered by Mark Slater.  The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Bruno R.C. Church, Bruno, on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Pius Schroh.  Others taking part were:  Monty Slater, crossbearer; Dawn Serblowski and Julia Reid, scripture readers; Al Back and Gen Doetzel, giftbearers; Alois and Marj Helgert, memorial table attendants.  Music ministry was provided by organist Annie Moritz and members of the St. Bruno Parish Choir.  Honorary pallbearers were “all those who shared in Delphine’s life”.  Active pallbearers were Jay Weyland, Cody Weyland, Arden Herman, Barry Herman, Brent Slater, and Rodney Ursu.  Interment followed at St. Bruno R.C. Cemetery.  Memorial donations may be directed to either Bethany Pioneer Village or to the St. Bruno Parish Fund.
