Geralyn Mower
November 6, 1962 – August 9, 2018

Geralyn Gertrude (nee Engele) Mower passed away on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at the Humboldt District Hospital. She was 55 years of age. Geralyn was born November 6, 1962 as Glenna Marie Taylour and adopted February 11, 1963 by Roland and Mildred Engele, where she completed a family of 6 as the youngest child. She received her education from grade 1-9 in Carmel, grade 10 at St. Ursuline Academy in Bruno and completed high school at HCI in Humboldt. Geralyn worked several years in Saskatoon at many numerous jobs. After she returned to Carmel she took a job in Bruno as an insurance agent for Wawanesa as well as the Carmel Hotel where she met the man of her dreams. Geralyn married Clinton Joseph Mower August 24, 1984. Through their union three children were born; Justin on May 16, 1984; Benjamin June 12, 1985; and after several miscarriages she had her only daughter Virginia on July 3, 1992. Geralyn loved to bake and cook and often mentioned making a full course Christmas dinner as being one of the highlights of her life. Geralyn never let her disability hold her down, and would often give herself one day to cry and feel sorry for herself before tackling any problem head on. She called these her “boo hoo days”. She wore a smile on her face through the worst possible situations right up until the end. Geralyn is survived by her two sons, one daughter, and two grandchildren: Justin Mower of Humboldt, SK; Benjamin Mower (Natalie Fehr) of Saskatoon, SK; and Virginia (Kyle) Martin and children Lucas, Trista and baby on the way of Humboldt, SK; parents, Roland and Mildred (nee Lueke) Engele of Humboldt, SK; her brother; Danny Engele of Saskatoon, SK; sister, Paulette Engele of Saskatoon: sisters-in-law, Valerie Engele of Carmel, SK; Cindy (Doyle) Nordmarken of Kelvington, SK, Joanne (Denis) Schedlosky of Humboldt, SK; Kathy Mower-Berlingette of Revelstoke, BC; brother-in-law, Terry Perrault of Airdrie, AB; and several aunts uncles, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and friends.
