It is with solemn hearts that we announce the passing of Marie Christine Schuster (Ford). She passed away on November 23rd, 2022 at 87 years of age. Marie was born in Saltcoats on September 6th, 1935 to Robert Lawrence Ford and Ellen Boyd Ford (Morton). She was one of four siblings. Marie attended school near Saltcoats before working as a nursing aid until her marriage to Nicholaus Schuster on May 18th, 1954, when she became a farm wife and mother. Nicholaus and Marie spent 67 wonderful years together and had two children, Lauri and Donna (Leslie). Marie was a devoted homemaker and helped out much on the farm, where they resided until they moved to Yorkton in 2001. Marie will be remembered by her family for her generous soul and loving spirit. During her time on the farm she loved to cook, bake, knit, sing, and sew. In her later years, she loved to spend time with her family and especially her grandchildren. She loved to entertain company, which she did avidly with her quick wit and wonderful sense of humour. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.  Marie and Nick were blessed with eight grandchildren: Shayne (Danielle), Christopher (Elizabeth), Erin (Jason), Robyn (Jeffery), Adam, Stevie, Taylor, and Joseph; and five great-grandchildren: Kaylee, Noah, Issac, Casey, and Cole. Marie is predeceased by her parents and her loving husband Nick, and is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The funeral service was held on Wednesday, December 7th 2022 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Doreen Day, Certified Celebrant, officiating. Taylor Fulawka gave the eulogy.
