 THACKER, Florence

Florence Ann Thacker (nee Heck), affectionately known by her family as “Grandma Goose”, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on Monday, July 25, 2022, at the age of 97 years . She was born on September 19, 1924, in Denzil Saskatchewan to Anna Maria Heck, sadly her father Hironymous Heck had passed before her birth. After several years of struggling on a widow’s pension and taking in sewing to make ends meet, a marriage was arranged with Andrew Volk of Burdett who had four children of his own. The newly blended Volk family were active members of the Catholic church community and attended the Jasmine school.

Florence met her husband, George at a dance in Burdett. They were married in 1947 and raised six children; Lynn (Ute), Janis (Meryl) Goodfellow, Jim (Dalyce), Dale (Natalie), Diane (Tim) Main, and Richard. She was predeceased by George in 2019. Florence, with boundless energy, was able to do an incredible amount of work in the home as well as in the fields. In total, she helped raise thirteen grandchildren: Raimey, Nathan, Clint, Reed, Lawnie, Kassie, Martin, Emily, Kyle, Gavin, Brianne, Cam, and Danika. She was able to enjoy in total 24 great-grandchildren.  Florence was an avid ball player and curler. At the age of 50 she found her forever sport… GOLF. This passion for golf led George and Florence to Arizona for 17 winters. Florence never lost her “Heck” sense of humour even in the final years of her life. The family wish to extend their deepest thanks to the staff at the Bow Island Long Term Care facility and to the staff at the Pleasant View Lodge. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Burdett Hall on Thursday, August 4, 2022, at 2:00 p.m.  Everyone is invited to wear their favorite Golf attire in honour of Florence.
