1941 ~ 2025 (age 83)

With sadness, we announce the passing of Laviah May Jamieson, at the age of 83.

Laviah was the beloved wife of (the late) Gordon Jamieson; and loving mother to Clifford (Gail Kondratoff), Wendy Ostash, and Keith Jamieson. She was a proud grandmother to Jenna (Adam) Bocskey, Breanne (Dylan Wiest), Brayden (Samantha Ketsa), Austin (Kelsey), and Jesse (Shaye), and great-grandmother to Isabelle (Jenna’s daughter) and Lochlan (Jesse’s son). She is survived by her sisters Joyce Clark and Mardell McNally, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Gordon, granddaughter Alyssa, and sister Gloria Moffatt.

Born in Eatonia, Saskatchewan, on December 17, 1941, Laviah married Gordon in 1960 and together they farmed south of Flaxcombe while raising their family. She was known for her generous spirit, her baking and breadmaking, and, later for her passion for quilting—creating countless pieces for family, friends, and charities.

After spending most of her life on the farm south of Flaxcombe, Laviah moved to Kindersley in 2016. When Gordon’s health required him to enter Heritage Manor in 2020, Laviah later moved to Caleb Village Retirement Community, where she embraced her new chapter with grace and joy. She became an active part of the community—playing cards, enjoying musical performances, and, above all, delighting in conversation and connection with others.

Laviah and Gordon shared a life rich with travel and adventure. Their journeys took them to Australia, Russia, across Europe, throughout the United States, and to their beloved winter escapes in Arizona, where they forged lifelong friendships. Whole family trips to Mexico and the Dominican Republic brought joy and unforgettable memories, and Laviah especially treasured a “girls’ trip” to Mexico with her granddaughters Jenna and Breanne and daughter Wendy.

Remembered for her kindness, humour, and gift for conversation, Laviah touched the lives of all who knew her. Her legacy of love and generosity will continue to live on through her family and friends.

Her Celebration of Life will be held, Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., Eatonia Community Hall (214 Main Street, Eatonia), with a time for visiting and refreshments to follow. Please wear your brightest colours, Laviah loved colour!
