Terence Neil Lemke

July 16th, 1959 – February 15th, 2020

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Terence Neil Lemke of Elbow, Saskatchewan. After a brief illness, Terry passed away peacefully in hospital surrounded by close family. At the age of sixty, he was taken from us far too soon and will be missed by his family and many friends.

Terry was predeceased by his father Bob in 2013. He is survived by his mother Bette, his sisters Marci (Todd) Greenwood and Michelle (Vance) Phair as well as brothers Tim (Moira) and David (Andi) and many nieces and nephews.

Before moving to Elbow, Terry lived in Saskatoon where he had many lifelong friends. He was skilled in music, playing bass and guitar.  Over the years he served others, exhibiting his skill and creativity in many trades. Gifted with an insightful wit and delightful sense of humor, he was honest, sensitive and devoted to family and friends. The family is grateful to the doctors and nurses at RUH for their compassion during his short stay in their care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Terry’s name to the Village of Elbow First Responders or the Royal University Hospital Foundation.

A Liturgy of the Word service for Terry will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 at St. John Bosco Catholic Parish (1202 Avenue O South). Interment will be in Elbow at a future date.
