People. Stories. Connections.

A lifetime of service, family and community.

Every life and every love story deserves to be honoured in a way that feels personal and true. I am passionate about people, a great listener and an experienced communicator. I bring a calm, confident and compassionate presence to every ceremony, along with the flexibility to meet people where they are.

I have lived in Saskatchewan my entire life. My husband Larry and I have been married for 48 years, and together we have three children—Kris, Michelle and Pamela—and seven wonderful grandchildren who mean everything to me. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, crocheting, reading, walking and travelling.

Before beginning this chapter, I spent 28 years in municipal administration and 13 years establishing and managing a medical clinic. I have also served Saskatchewan 4-H as a leader for more than three decades and have served on many local boards and committees, always taking an active role in my community. These experiences have taught me to listen carefully, communicate clearly and treat every person with genuine respect.

With compassion, respect & care.
Marriage Commissioner

Your ceremony, your story.

Appointed by the Province of Saskatchewan

I have been an officially appointed Saskatchewan Marriage Commissioner since 2018 and am authorized to perform civil marriage ceremonies. I create a warm, meaningful ceremony that reflects your relationship while incorporating the wording and requirements necessary for a legal marriage.

  • Personalized civil wedding ceremonies
  • Simple elopements and intimate gatherings
  • Large celebrations and special settings
  • Guidance for your ceremony wording and flow

Marriage commissioners perform civil ceremonies, so religious references cannot be included in the ceremony.

Before your ceremony

Getting your Saskatchewan marriage licence.

Couples are responsible for obtaining a valid Saskatchewan marriage licence before the ceremony. The process is straightforward, but timing and identification requirements are important.

Choose an issuer

Purchase the licence from an authorized Saskatchewan marriage licence issuer, such as a listed jewellery store, boutique, agency or municipal office.

Plan the timing

Purchase it between one day and 90 days before the wedding. It takes effect the day after purchase and expires after 90 days.

Bring identification

Present two pieces of government-issued identification, including at least one piece of photo identification.

Complete the declaration

Both partners complete and sign the statutory declaration in the presence of the licence issuer. The provincial licence fee is $60.

Provide prior-marriage details

If divorced, bring the required original or court-certified divorce document. If widowed, know the exact date and place of your former spouse’s death.

Please bring the completed marriage licence to me before the ceremony. For the complete and most current requirements, review Saskatchewan’s official marriage licence information.

Understanding the role

What is a Funeral Celebrant?

Trained in meaningful ceremony

A Funeral Celebrant is trained to create and lead personalized funeral and memorial services with care, sensitivity and respect. I work closely with your family to understand the person being remembered and thoughtfully bring their stories, values and personality into the service.

A family-centred choice

For families who want a personal ceremony without a formal religious service, a Funeral Celebrant offers a neutral and respectful approach. My role is to listen, honour your wishes and help create a meaningful farewell that feels true to your loved one.

Planning ahead for end of life

If you are thinking about your own end-of-life arrangements, I can meet with you to discuss your wishes, the stories you want shared and the kind of service that would feel right for you. I will come to you—whether you are at home, in hospital or in hospice—so these important conversations can happen with comfort, privacy and care.
