The death of Mrs. Martha Irene (nee Petersen) Eggerman of St. Mary's Villa, Humboldt, SK, occurred at her residence on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. She was 88 years of age.
Martha was born on February 20, 1924, to Hans and Mary (nee Kimmen) Petersen at home on their farm near Annaheim, SK. She was raised there and attended Arras Rural School. After completing her Grade 8 education, Martha was employed as a housekeeper for various local families. Eventually, she made a trip to British Columbia and California with her sister Margaret.
After returning home, Martha married John Eggerman on June 23, 1949, in Prince Albert, SK. Following their marriage, they moved to a farm in the Englefeld district. Three sons were born to them: Eugene in 1951, Barry in 1955, and Lorne in 1965. In 1982, Martha and John moved into Humboldt. In 2000, due to failing health, John became a resident of Quill Plains Centennial Lodge in Watson. Martha continued to live in their home until 2008, when she moved to Sunshine Manor in Watson.
In 2010, she became a resident of Bethany Pioneer Village in Middle Lake temporarily until relocating to St. Mary's Villa, her home until the present. Over the years,
Martha enjoyed beadwork, knitting, gardening, and fishing. She also loved playing cards and taught all her grandchildren to play Schmear. Her greatest pleasure was derived from being a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker, always striving to tend to the needs of her family.
