Lindena “Lynn” Renz
March 3, 1925 - October 31, 2018

Lindena “Lynn” (nee Hoffman) Renz of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, SK (and formerly of LeRoy, SK) passed away on Wednesday, October 31, 2018 at the Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK. She was 93 years of age. Lindena was better known to everyone as Lynn. Actually, Lynn’s real name is Leontina but somehow certificates were registered incorrectly, and she was formally called Lindena. Lynn was born to Edward and Lindena (nee Moyck) Hoffman on March 3, 1925 in Stettler, Alberta. Her mother passed away when she was two weeks old and so Lynn was raised by family friends for the first part of her life until her dad remarried a couple of years later. She was raised and educated at Sunny View School in Spalding. By around grade 9, Lynn was helping the family by working at various jobs in the Spalding area. She eventually took a job in Lanigan where she met Theophil Renz at a local Lutheran church function. On June 16, 1948 she married Ted at the Dovre Lutheran Church in Spalding. They initially lived with Ted’s parents on the farm in Jansen until they purchased the John Murdoch farm near LeRoy. They farmed from Jansen for a short period until they moved to the homestead where Don and Kathy presently live today. They had five children together. Anyone who knew Lynn knew she was an incredible cook and baker. Her cinnamon buns and donuts were well known by everyone in the community. She loved to sew, crochet, embroider and quilt and we all are so very lucky to each have some of her handiwork. Lynn was also so hard-working both in the house and helping dad run the farm and tend to the many chores necessary of a mixed farmer in those days. She was a member of the Lutheran Ladies Aid, Elks Auxiliary and very active in the community. Her children always came first as did her grandchildren. She was a devoted wife, mother, and loving grandmother. She was deeply loved and will be missed by all. Lynn will be lovingly remembered by her family: Leonard‘s wife, TERRI RENZ of Calgary, Alberta and family, Robin (Randy) LaRose of Rocky Mountain House, BC and Telera Renz (Chris)and son Kolby of Calgary, Alberta; ELAINE (Leonard) OTSIG of Leroy and family, Trevor (Lesley) Otsig of Middle Lake and daughters Jade, Morgan and Blaire; Troy (Claire) Otsig of LeRoy and daughters Taysia and Teagan; Terry (Rochelle) Otsig of Allan and daughters Chloe and Ruby; Trisha (Chris) Pollydore of Edmonton, Alberta and children Jayla and Josiah; DEBBIE (Ron) MOORE of Saskatoon and family, Ryan Moore (Laurie) of Regina, Warren (Jada) Moore of Regina and daughter Izzy, Jordan (Adelle) Moore of Saskatoon and sons Carson, Kane and Bryer; Ashtyn (Andy) Schenn of Saskatoon and son Berkley; DON (Kathy) RENZ of Leroy and daughter Andrel (Dustin) Hartman of Leroy and son Theo; COLLEEN (Barry) BERGE of Prince Albert and daughter Taylor.
