Obituary of Amelia Louella Benoit

Amelia Louela Benoit was born on May 23, 1939 in Paddockwood, Saskatchewan to parents, Albert & Florence Rapin. She passed away peacefully on October 22, 2024 at St Joseph’s Health Centre in Macklin, Saskatchewan at the age of 85 years. Amy lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature. She spent countless hours watching birds at her feeder and deer grazing in her yard. She also enjoyed camping trips and going for Sunday drives, where she could admire the scenery, with her late husband Leo.

A talented homemaker, Amy was known for her delicious homemade bread, cookies and jams, and could always be found tending to her beloved garden. She found joy in the little things: a warm cup of coffee shared with friends, the vibrant colors of her rose bushes, the sweet melody of hummingbirds, and the bountiful harvest from her apple and cherry trees. She was often seen with a basket in hand, picking fresh fruit and vegetables to share with her loved ones. Her mouthwatering meals and green thumb were a testament to her love and care for her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished grandmother. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support touched the lives of all who knew her. Amy will be deeply missed by her family and friends, and her memory will forever live on in our hearts.
