MINCHIN - With heavy hearts the family of Rosina Minchin are saddened to announce her passing at the Kindersley Integrated Health centre on Aug 27, 2021 at 86 years of age.

Rosina was born May 5, 1935 to John E. & Clara Warrington at Loverna, SK. She went to school in the Loverna area. Her first job was at a young age working in her father’s General Store.

In 1954, she married Bill Minchin and they had 5 children. In 1967, they moved the family to Kindersley.

She was strong, determined, independent and a good provider as Dad was on the road for work most of the time. Used to contributing, she did in-home daycare. Many of the children she looked after came to know her as “Auntie Chick” as well as many others.

Once her own kids got older, she worked at Sunset Lodge then the Kindersley Nursing Home and later Heritage Manor as a cook.

Mom took great pride in her home & family providing us with a warm, loving home we thoroughly enjoyed sharing with friends and family. Everyone was always welcome!

Rosina enjoyed playing & coaching softball, curling, gardening, traveling, and playing games. She was an active member of CWL (Catholic Women’s League) for over 50 years and the Kindersley Oil Wives club for more than 35 years.

Rosina was pre-deceased by her husband of more than 60 years Bill Minchin, her parents John E. & Clara Warrington, Eldest brother John B. Warrington and Son-in-law Edward Desjarlais.
