Dallas Lewella Bolianatz - It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dallas Bolianatz, age 84 years of Shaunavon, Saskatchewan on Friday, May 20, 2016 at the Shaunavon Hospital & Care Centre. Dallas was born on November 1, 1931 in Admiral, Saskatchewan. She attended school at Esmond, Coal Valley, and Scotsguard. She worked at the Swift Current Hospital and Shaunavon Telephone office. She moved seven times in her life all within a 21 mile radius! Dallas married George Robert "Bob" Bolianatz on July 30, 1954. Dallas and Bob were blessed with six daughters: Linda Irene (Larry Roach), Betty Ann (Martin Meinert), Janie (Brad Cruthers), Gloria Jean (Rod Thiessen), Donna Mae (Keith Schmidt), Susan Faye (Kirk Tracey), 15 grandchildren: James (Teresa), Melanie (Curtis), Sharon (Darren), Lisa (Jodey), Geoff (Alison), David (Elysha), Vanessa (Kenny), Gregory (Chelsea), Tara (Tom), Landon, Logan (Dana), Tawnya (Bobby), Madison, Ryan (Carley), Amanda (Teun), 23 great-grandchildren: Jenna, Luke, Mallory, Loreal, Nate, Nash, Nya, Josh, Addison, Cole, Dade, Natalie, Colter, Jhett, Halle, Sophie, Zach, Ashton, Aidan, Avery, Ainsley, Sawyer, and Nora. Dallas was predeceased by her husband Bob in 1988, mother Lewella Simmons, father Merrill Simmons, step-mother Hattie Simmons, sisters Helen Sonsteby and Irene Traun, brothers Russell Simmons and Roy Simmons, sisters-in-law Dolly Simmons and Bernice Simmons, and brothers-in-law Robert Sonsteby and Bud Traun. She is survived by sister Ruby Lind (Lawrence), brother Donnie Simmons, sisters-in-law, Della Simmons, Anna Sudom and Marge Kaufman (Charlie), brothers-in-law Duane Bolianatz and Jim Bolianatz (Georgina) and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Dallas and Bob were very proud of their six daughters, and displayed that on the barn at the family farm. Dallas continued to farm after Bob's passing, until 2012, when she moved to Shaunavon. Dallas was a devoted, caring, hardworking, and determined woman. Her lasting pride was her children and grandchildren. Family and community were important to Dallas. She enjoyed organizing reunions and dances, and was actively involved in local events. She was well-known for her incredible work ethic, devotion to those she loved, and world-class fudge. She was a talented bowler, square-dancer, and the best game-player you could ever meet. It didn't matter if you were 2 or 92, Dallas still played to win. A devoted wife, Dallas's love for Bob endured after his passing. Dallas kept photos of him close to her at all times, whether the photo was on the kitchen table, night-stand, or a locket right beside her heart. After 28 years, Dallas will finally be back with the love of her life.Funeral Services were held at Centre Street United Church in Shaunavon on Thursday, May 26, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. with Minister Shelby Kinrade officiating and Bernadette Schneider presenting the eulogy. For those wishing, memorial donations may be made to Shaunavon Courtesy Van or Centre Street United Church. Binkley’s Funeral Service of Shaunavon (www.Binkleys.com) was in charge of arrangements. Honorary Pallbearers were Evelyn Norton, Violet Sonen, Annette Horne, Trudy Wagner, Dolores Ruschkowski, Lena Rogers, Patsy Hagen, Della Simmons and Barb Pearl and all those whose lives were touched by Dallas. She will lovingly and fondly be remembered.
