Marina Sand
September 19, 1939 – July 31, 2018

It is with profound sadness that the family of Marina (nee Weiman) Sand of Humboldt, SK, announces her passing on Tuesday, July 31, 2018, at Humboldt District Hospital. She was 78 years of age. Marina was born September 19, 1939, to George and Mary (Roettger) Weiman who lived north of Bruno. She attended Thiel-Krentz School which was about one mile from the family farm. From 1953 to 1957, Marina attended the Ursuline Academy at Bruno for grades 9 to 12. After graduation she attended the Saskatoon Teachers’ College to obtain her teacher’s certification and began teaching at Thiel-Krentz School in August 1958. On November 10, 1958, Marina married Nick “Shorty” Sand in Bruno, SK. They moved to Bruno in 1959 where their daughter Sharon was born on January 29, 1960. They moved to Keller School in the summer of 1960 where Marina taught for four years. In 1964 they moved to Fulda and Marina began teaching Grades 1 and 2. Their son Terry was born on October 21, 1965, and son Jeff was born on January 31, 1974. In 1986 they moved to Humboldt and Marina continued to drive to Fulda to teach until her retirement in 1991. Throughout her life, she enjoyed gardening, visiting, but most importantly, spending time with family. Whether it was fishing, camping or playing games until the wee hours of the morning, she always made sure family was well taken care of. Marina will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by Nick, her husband of 59 years; their daughter Sharon Loxterkamp of Humboldt and family, Megan (Tyler) Renneberg, Brynlee and Kayla, Nathan (Aileen) Loxterkamp, Isaac and Mia, and Thea Loxterkamp (Jesse Neary); son Terry (Michelle) Sand of Coronach and family, Jackie Jones (Carlin Lamontagne), and Donovan Jones; son Jeff (Louise) Sand of Saskatoon and family, Ayden and Logan; sisters: Myrna (Alphonse) Thimm of Bruno, and Elaine (Duane) Wourms of Saskatoon; and by numerous nieces and nephews.
