Obituary - from Clarke's Funeral Home
Emilia Wutke nee Smith (Schmidt) was born on October 30, 1923, in the home of her parents, Kasper and Christina Schmidt, in the Tupper district.
Lydia was received as a child of God in Holy Baptism on November 25, 1923,at the Zion Lutheran Church in the Tupper district. She was confirmed in this faith on April 2, 1939, also at Tupper. On June 16, 1945, Lydia married Walter Wutke at Zion Lutheran Church. Walter and Lydia were blessed with one child, Linda Oswald. She departed this life on February 18, 2017 at the Neepawa Hospital having attained the age of 93 years, 3 months and 19 days.
Lydia received her education at the Maitland School. While living at her parent's home, she helped her mother with the farm chores, as her mother was not well. After marrying Walter, they moved to his family homestead and worked side by side for over 40 years. In 1992, they retired to the Village of Plumas. Lydia's main interest was homemaking. She loved to cook, clean and bake. You could be sure when you stopped by there was always a meal, cup of tea and dessert to accompany the visit. Lydia loved to play cards, especially Canasta, and enjoyed her winter evenings watching curling on TV. Many hours were spent talking on the phone with friends and family. Some of our family's fondest memories were fishing trips to Waterhen and Lake of the Prairies. Lydia's most cherished moments were spent with her family and a smile would beam across her face when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren would come to visit. Lydia was very proud of the family that she was a big part of. She will always be remembered for her patience, kindness, and love to family and friends.
Lydia's last 6 years of life were spent travelling 3 times a week for dialysis treatments to Brandon. Her strong will and great determination gave her the strength to keep going. With the support of family, friends, Central Plains Cancer Care, and the residents of the community for transportation to Brandon, Lydia was able to continue living in her home in Plumas, a community in which she loved. Lydia is survived by her daughter Linda (Garry) Oswald of Glenella. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Laura (Brent) Miller, Brent Oswald and Colleen (Troy) Nault, and five great grandchildren Kelsey, Hallie and Braeden Miller, Skyler and Kinley Nault. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Florence Smithand numerous nieces and nephews. Lydia was a sponsor for 5 individuals; Harold Wutke, Judy Lafreniere, Bonnie Kushner, Debbie Fischer and Darlene Honig.
