Everett Churchill

CHURCHILL - It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother-in law, Everett Churchill on August 28th, 2021.

Everett was born to Alvin and Anne Churchill on June 14th, 1930 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

He grew up on the farm near Elstow, Sask. He attended Normal School in Saskatoon. His first teaching job was at Imperial Sask. After four years he moved to Kindersley where he taught at Elizabeth School. It was there that he met the love of his love. He and Isobel were married in 1958. He was a devoted father to Dean, Kevin, Trevor, and Shannon.

He attended Saint Olaf Lutheran Church and served as envelope secretary and enjoyed his involvement with the Men’s Chorus, bible studies and fellowship with church friends.

He was passionate about sports especially the Blue Jays. He played a lot of baseball in his youth and refereed hockey.

He attended U of S attaining his Bed + BA before he taught for 40 years plus one sabbatical year in Saskatoon. He was well respected for his years as principal at Elizabeth School. He was chairmen of the salary negotiating which imposed a lot of travelling.

He and mom loved going to the Gospel Jamboree at Sandy Creek. He loved travelling with the Walrath Group- a retired minister and his wife. One of the last tours was to Hawaii where he was hospitalized and given Hawaiian blood and a first-class trip home.

In 1990 he was ready to hand over the switch from weekly school routine to retirement. During that time, he enjoyed bowling and he served on the executive of the retired teachers association.

In 2016 they sold their home and moved to Caleb Village where he received excellent care and where he was ultimately called home. He will be sadly missed.
