PLEASE NOTE*** The funeral has been delayed by 1 hour, until 2:00 P.M. due to road conditions.

The family of Lillian Claire Westgard wish to announce her passing on Wed. Jan 21/26 at the age of 76.

She was born on Feb 4, 1949, to Henry and Anna Westgard in Eston, SK. She was the 9th child born but the first girl after a row of 5 boys, so was a very welcomed addition.

She is survived by her sons, Lonny O’Connor and Jamy O’Connor; Daughter-in-law Colette O’Connor; grandchildren Weelar O’Connor, Bree O’Connor, Brooke O’Connor, Macy O’Connor, Brett Marchand, Brittany Boon-Marchand; daughter-in-law Carmen Tadich; great grandson Luke Marchand; brothers Bruce (Sylvia), Richard, Gary, Stan, Emery, Curtis (Debbie); and sister Margie Boylan (Rodger); sisters-in-law,  Mary Ann, Linda, and Gail Westgard; and numerous nieces and nephews- lots!

She was predeceased by her infant son, Sonny; her parents; brothers, Norris, Bob, Ron, Dale; sister Annette Kallechy; and brother-in-law, Lewis Kallechy.

Lillian lived at the farm in White Bear for her first 7 years. In March of 1956, the family moved to Leader, SK, where she finished her schooling. She married and lived in Eatonia, where she raised her two sons. After she separated from her husband, she lived in Swift Current.

In 2002, she moved to Leader to look after her mother. The family was very thankful for her sacrifice in this move. She was all about family. She was our go-to person to learn the latest news.

A service will be held Jan 31/26 at 1:00 PM, at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Leader, SK, with Rev. John Mark Bredeson officiating. The service will be livestreamed, the link is located below.
