With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt, Great Aunt & Sister-In-Law. Lena (94) passed away Nov 9, 2024 after a full and well-loved life. She was the eighth of 12 children born to Joseph and Magdelena Schmidt on March 22,1930 on the family homestead near Allan SK.
Lena, who enjoyed the outdoors, had many interests which included tending to her garden and flowers, and spending time with family, whether it was a quick visit or an overnight sleepover with one of her great-grandchildren. She was an avid softball player in her younger years who enjoyed fishing, playing cards and bingo, jigsaw puzzles and going to the casino. A Christmas tradition for her was to give the children a special Christmas ornament that she selected for them.
She is survived by her daughter Pat Pool and grandchildren Randi-Lee (Justin) Loshack, Eric Pool, Kelly Pool (Travis), and Darelle Pool (Francois), and by her son Rod (Bonnie) Wright and grandchildren Allison (Troy) Patterson and Andrew (Michelle) Wright. Lena doted on her 8 great-grandchildren Emma, Eastan, Cooper, Jake, Manny, Isabelle, Jevin and Charlotte. She is also survived by sisters-in-law Ann Schmidt and Loretta Schmidt.
Lena was predeceased by her husband Charles Wright, great-grandson Matthew Stronach and her 11 siblings.
