Dennis Wiesner
June 10, 1934 – October 29, 2018

After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Dennis Wiesner of Humboldt, SK, (and formerly of the St. Gertrude district, SK), passed away peacefully on Monday, October 29, 2018, at Humboldt District Hospital. He was 84 years of age. Dennis, the first child of Adolf and Alma (nee Taphorn) Wiesner, was born on June 10, 1934, at Macklin, SK. In 1944, the family moved to a farm west of St. Gertrude. Dennis and his three brothers grew up there and attended St. Gertrude School. On August 26, 1957, Dennis married the love of his life, Terry Muench, in St. Peter’s Cathedral at Muenster. Their union was to be blessed with five children, two daughters and three sons. Dennis and Terry began their life together at Flin Flon, MB, where Dennis was employed with Hudson Bay Mining. In 1963, they returned to Saskatchewan to farm. Initially they resided on the Art Albert farm in the St. Gertrude district, and then in 1966, they took over the Wiesner family farm when Dennis’ parents retired into Humboldt. Dennis also ventured into the logging industry for several years. He was a passionate outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, logging, quading, and tapping birch trees for his famous syrup. As well, many long and hard (but satisfying) hours were spent cutting, hauling, and selling Christmas trees. Hosting get-togethers with Terry for family and friends, complete with delicious barbecues and plenty of visiting around the firepit, both in their beautiful yard at the farm, and then at their home in Humboldt after retiring in 2009, provided much pleasure for him and all those who were present. More than anything, Dennis was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and a true and loyal friend. His deep faith was also an important part of his life. Indeed, memories of this kind, soft-hearted gentleman with the endearing smile will be cherished by family and friends alike. Dennis will be lovingly remembered and very sadly missed by his wife of 61 years, Terry (nee Muench) Wiesner; their five children, 10 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren: Sharon (Ivan) Stomp and family, Jackie (Adam) Porter and children Max and Wyatt, Cristal (Rielly) Schemenauer and children Kalli, Payton and Josie, Stacey (Adam) Tremblay and children Andie, Tessa, Beau and Mila; Gord (Donna) Wiesner and family, Amanda (Gerard) Kiefer and children Gage and Keyla, Amber (Corey) Frank and children Shelby, Kamara and Jayla; Chad (Betty) Wiesner and children Cole and Austin; Wayne Wiesner and daughter Harlee; and Jody (Kurt) Semenoff and children Kendal and Megan; two brothers: Ed (Sandy) Wiesner, and Larry (Dina) Wiesner; and by numerous nieces, nephews, and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, Adolf and Alma (nee Taphorn) Wiesner; one brother, Hubert Wiesner; and by his parents-in-law, Leo and Angela (nee Meyer) Muench. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Friday, November 2, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., celebrated by Bishop Emeritus Gerald Wiesner, OMI. Others taking part were: Austin Wiesner, crossbearer; Dina Wiesner and Kalli Schemenauer, scripture readers; Betty Wiesner, intentions; Kendal Semenoff and Megan Semenoff, giftbearers; Agatha Rueve and Doreen Jaeb, memorial table attendants. The urnbearer was Cole Wiesner. Honorary pallbearers were “all the special people in Dennis’ life”. Music ministry was provided by director Loretta Schugmann, organist Marie Aubin, and members of the St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir. The eulogy was delivered by Jackie Porter and Cristal Schemenauer. Interment followed at St. Gertrude R.C. Cemetery. Memorial donations may be directed to either the Canadian Cancer Society or the St. Gertrude R.C. Cemetery Fund.
