Kindersley Legion Gives Tribute to Branch’s Silver Cross Mother Pauline Ament
The Kindersley Legion gave a touching tribute to Pauline Ament who passed away on Saturday, March 4th, 2023, at the age of 96.
“Along with so many in the community, Kindersley Legion Branch #57 also mourns the loss of Pauline Ament. Pauline came to Canada after the Second World War as a war bride, marrying Lloyd “Sparky” Ament, who upon his return to the Kindersley Area served for decades as our Legion Branch’s Sergeant of Arms. In time, as she became an integral part of our community, Pauline assumed the roll of our Branch’s Silver Cross mother, an honourary position in which she laid a wreath every Remembrance Day on behalf of all mothers of our community who have lost a son or a daughter in military service in Canada. Both Pauline and Lloyd Ament’s portraits hang on our Legion Branch’s Wall of Honour, for their lasting contributions to our branch and our community. As a Branch, we want to express our profound appreciation of Pauline Ament, and our deepest condolences to the family as they mourn her passing and celebrate her life.”
Pauline was the beloved wife of the late Lloyd (Sparky) Ament, loving mother of Virginia (Dale) Oswald, Bev (Cec) Kellington, Roger (Jill) Ament, and a grandmother of 7. A private family gathering for Pauline will be held at a later date.
