It is with sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Marlyne Reindl, of Saskatoon, at the age of 86 years old. Marlyne is survived by her devoted & loving husband, Adolf, of 66 years; and their children Bob (Caren)Reindl, Gerri Ashby (Bernie), Louella (Steph) Braun & Mark Reindl.
Marlyne was born to Louis and Clara (Lessard) Alain in Hudson Bay Junction, SK and was the oldest of 8 children.
Marlyne was educated at Veillardville, SK and graduated in Zenon Park then from Teachers College in Saskatoon in 1957. She taught in SK at a one room school house in Ille a la Crosse and Blighty school.
Marlyne enjoyed being a wife and stay-home mother. She served her community as a Girl Guide leader, assisted with Riversdale Track & Field, and served her church, St. Paul’s Co-Cathedral for many years. Marlyne spent 40+ years with the Canadian Women’s League of Canada where she was president at the parish, diocesan & provincial level which earned her the Life Membership from National Council. She also served on the board of Friendship Inn & St. Paul’s Hospital Ethics committee. She said a long time ago how tickled she was to have been on the committee for the very large L'Heureux Family Reunion in 1987 in Jackfish, SK where she registered 1,023 family members!! Fun indeed!
Marlyne enjoyed reading, doing jig-saw puzzles, the daily Find the Word Puzzles. She always had an open door policy for family to stop by and visit. Marlyne loved travelling, camping up north in the fall picking blueberries and cranberries. She also loved to knit, sew and crocheting especially if a new baby was to be born as she needed to have a bonnet & sweater ready!
Marlyne is survived by sisters, Maxine (Elliott) Prentice, Marcella (Richard) Sevigny, Bernadette (Ted) Redinger, Rachelle Toews, Michelle (Ian) Pepper; brothers Bruce (Jenny) Alain & Joe (Bonnie) Alain. Grandchildren - Jason (Rebecca), Kyle (Brandy), Ryan (Sydney), Breanne (Marc), Nicole (Jeff), Matthew, Curtis (Samantha), Josh (Nicole), Alexander (Amy), Justin.

We the family, would like to acknowledge and thank Saskatoon Homecare for several years of great care in the family home, and then special thanks to the staff at Sunnyside Adventist Care Centre where mom resided for the past 6 months.
