Obituary of Grace Lenore Kidd

Grace Lenore Kidd (nee Sheldon) December 28, 1919 – December 12, 2016 It is with sadness and recognition of a life well lived that the family announces the passing of Grace Kidd. Grace was predeceased by her parents James and Netta Sheldon, her husband William “Bill”, her sisters Margaret and May, brothers in law Thomas Bocking and Earl “Sandy” Hughes, Emil Kidd, and sister in law Johana Kidd. She is survived by her sons Dennis and Andrew, niece Irene (Dave) Daniels and family of Colorado, nephew Keith Hughes and family of Florida, and longtime friend, Margaret Yeo. Grace spent her growing years on a farm in the Imperial District. Being a child of the Great Depression she learned the values of thrift, honesty, self-reliance and to help others when you could. She met the love of her life, while on the farm, and in 1942, she and Bill were married. They soon moved to Regina and began raising their family, Grace was a stay home mother while her family was young, working the Christmas season at Sears Catalogue Center. Teaching herself to type she worked part time jobs, until obtaining a position at the R.C.M.P. crime lab at the Regina Training Barracks. In the 60’s she moved to a position with The Saskatchewan Government Department of Agriculture, where she worked until her retirement. Grace was very active in the St’ Paul’s and St. James’ Anglican Churches, the Regina Food Bank – where she donated hours of administrative time, the Rebecca’s, and Regina Horticultural Society, only slowing down as age dictated. Grace will be remembered for her generous spirit, her love of family, her unwavering loyalty to friends, and generosity to those in need. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed. Donations in Grace's memory can be made to the Regina Food Bank or the Regina Animal Shelter. Interment of cremated remains will be held in the summer of 2017.
