CARPENDALE Mervyn (Merv) Vecey Carpendale February 9,1939 to December 17, 2022.
It is with great sadness the the family announces the passing of Merv Carpendale in the Heritage manor peacefully after a short battle with cancer.
Merv was born in Oxbow Saskatchewan and was the youngest of 6 children.
After leaving school he worked for Ontarion Hydro and then moved to Coleville to work in the oilfield and continued working in various jobs all related to oil the longest being at Sask Oil where he eventually retired.
Merv was very musical and could play many instruments. He was in a band that played locally for years. Before and after retirement he tuned pianos and would also buy old pianos, refurbish and tune them and sell them.
In 1962 he married Noreen Reynolds from Gainsborough Sask and moved her to Coleville, living on a farm for a few years and then moving to town where they settled in. They had one son Murrey and one son Miles that passed shortly after birth. Noreen sadly passed away in 1994 after a long battle with Type 1 Diabetes.
Shortly after he met and married Sharon Lachance. She brought to our family three boys, Miles, Trevor and Ren who all fit in very well.
They had trailer down at Lemsford and then bought a cabin up at Bright Sands Lake which they had for many years and enjoyed immensely with children and grandchildren.
Sadly Merv began getting dementia and ended up at Heritage Manor which he thought was wonderful. Enjoyed the staff and said they took such great care of him. He also loved to joke with them as he loved his jokes.
Merv was predeceased by his mother and father and all of his brothers and sister.
He is survived by his wife Sharon, son Murrey (Penny) and children Tony and Maria (Paul). His stepsons Miles (Jackie) children Nichole, Mike, Matt and Megan, Trevor and children Josie and Jayme, Rene (Pam) and children Zachary, Desiree and Keaton. He also had many great grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage Manor for the great care when he was living there and also in pallative care there. Everyone was so thoughtful and caring. We would also like thank everyone for the kind wishes and support we have received. We will be having a “Celebration of Life” in Coleville in the spring. Date will be announce at a later time. Any donations can be made to Heritage manor or Kindersley and District Health & Wellness Foundation.
