Bernie enjoyed fishing, word search puzzles, romance novels, a good and loud TV and cuddles with his grandkids and his cats Faith & Elliot. He will be remembered for his cynical sense of humor, his giving nature and the gruff exterior that often hid his marshmallow soft heart. He was a good man who will be deeply missed. The family wishes to extend their thanks to his entire medical team and especially to Dr. Llewelyn-Williams for his care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Bernie's memory to the Regina Humane Society.

Fact 1*Bertha Maria Shier was a Methodist Deaconess. 
Fact 1Bertha Shier became a deaconess in Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary herald, Oct 1, 1912
Death*Bertha Marie Shier died on 23 December 1937 in Toronto, York County, Ontario, Canada, at age 64; Bertha Shier was the youngest child of the large family of Adam and Maria Shier, pioneers of Brock Twp. She was born Feb 1, 1873, educated in public school No. 9 Brock and afterwards in the Collegiate, Lindsay. Early in life she felt the call to the "Deaconess Order" of the Methodist Church. Owing to the death of her father in 1895, she felt her mother needed her at home. Her mother died in 1901. Then Miss Shier entered the Training School for Deaconesses in Toronto, graduating in 1903.

Her appointments were St. Paul's Church, Avenue Road, Toronto, 1903; Brunswick Street Church and Jost Mission, Halifax Nova Scotia, 1903-1908; Metro Church, Toronto, 1908 - 1912; Central Church, Calgary, Alberta, 1912-1913; on leave 1913-1915; St. John's Orphanage, Newfoundland, 1915-1916; Rosemont and Verdun Churches, Montreal, 1916-1919; Traveller's Aid Work, Montreal, 1919-1920; Delorimier Church, Montreal, 1920 -1924; Zion Church, Montreal, 1924-1930; retired from active service , 1930.

These facts show that the deaconess Shier spent an active and varied career in the service of the order.

In 1930 she accompanied her brother, the Rev. J. W. Shier on a tour of the European Continent, then settled in Barrie to be near her sister, Mrs. Albert West. There she remained for five years. She worked as a private member of the Collier Street Church, under the pastorate of Rev. J.J. Black, B.D. , now of Cambridge Street United Church, Lindsay and rendered most effective service to the congregation. Her health became impared and in 1935 she went to Beaverton and spent some time with her sister, Mrs. M. J. Hurren. The last year of her life was spent at the Barbara House on Jarvis Street, where she gave special attention to her health. She had lived most strenuously during the long term of her active life, and after her retirement gave her best to the congregations with which she was identified. The strain was more than her nervous system could bear and it broke down.

She passed to the Great Service beyond, December 1937.

The funeral service were held in her home church, Cannington, Dec. 24. The remains had been resting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Martha Hutchinson. Private service was conducted there by Rev. E. E. Pugsley. The choir of the United Church led in singing at the church and the Rev. J.J. Black, of Lindsay, her pastor while she lived in Barrie, brought a very comforting message to the sorrowing friends and one of deep appreciation of the efficient services and of the loyality and devotion of the deceased during all the years of her religious activities. The interment was made in Cedar Vale Cemetery, Cannington.

Marriage*Beverly Davison Shier married Philip Tilson Barteaux, son of Orlando Barteaux and May Unknown, on 14 July 1951. 
Death*Beverly Davison Shier died on 29 April 2017 at age 85; Beverley Davison Barteaux was born Feb. 14, 1932 on the family farm in Crandall, MB, to Clarence and Helen Shier.
was predeceased by her parents and her brothers Gerald and Barry. Bev spent her childhood on the family dairy farm and completed high school in Crandall. Upon graduation, Bev took a course to teach school and was hired by the Oxford School in Wattsview. Phil Barteaux heard about the new school teacher and went courting. They were married July 14, 1951. Bev only taught one year as marrying a farmer was a busy life. Phil and Bev ran a mixed farming operation and raised seven children. Linda (Morris Butcher, Wayne (Debra Admussen), Connie (Glenn LaMarche), Karen (Dwayne Clark), Glen (Dana Hutchings), Dale (Evelyn Bertram) and Janette (Sean O'Brien). Morris and Dale passed away in 2016. Bev is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and two baby bumps.
lived to 85, Bev had time to be involved in many things. Family was very important to her and much of her time was spent feeding, clothing and teaching her children. Harvest time added to the chores as many suppers needed to make it to the field. Her other interests were baseball, painting, gardening, ceramics, quilting, camping, cards and games, family dances, sewing, watching curling and travelling.
over the years she fit it all in. Phil and Bev had many memorable trips, some highlights being New Zealand, Nova Scotia, Penticton and an Alaskan cruise. Bev led a busy and happy life with the love of her life, Phil. She was a unique woman, smart, loving, feisty, courageous, comforting, wore her heart on her sleeve and was always open to learning new things and teaching others. Well known for the "perfect pie"... sour cream raisin.
past few years took its toll on Bev's health. Her mind remained sharp, but her body did not co-operate at times. With the support of her loving family, her last few months were as comfortable as possible. Her passing on April 29, 2017 has left an enormous hole in our family.
service will be held at Birtle United Church Saturday, May 6 at 4:00 p.m. Donations can be made to the Birtle Drop-In Centre.

TOMPKINS FUNERAL HOME 49 Colborne Street (at Clergy Street). As expressions of sympathy memorial donations to Marths's Table (cheques please)


For the past 18 months, Mark Sousa has made a point of sitting in Eileen Chinnery's section whenever he goes to Martha's Table.
"She's really fast," the 37-year-old man said Monday, comparing her speedy service to what you'd usually find in a diner.
"You don't want to get in her way."
Chinnery, 79, is a volunteer at Martha's Table, and has been one for more than 10 years. Yesterday, she was one of the volunteers doling out turkey dinners to those who would not have had one otherwise.
The former bank employee started helping at the charitable eatery on Princess Street after moving from Glenburnie to the city a few years after her husband died.
"I was in my apartment and I just said, 'I've got to get out of here and do something,' " said Chinnery. "You can't just sit around."
On the advice of some of her former bank colleagues, she went to Martha's Table, then located on Brock Street, to see what she could do to help.
Chinnery prefers serving food to making it.
"There's more connection to the customers," she said. "I've done other things ... coffee and whatnot. I don't work in the kitchen because I can't stand the heat."
In addition to the gratification she receives in return for her work, Chinnery has made some friends along the way.
Take Sousa for example. "He's my reader," said Chinnery, who sometimes loans books to Sousa.
Boyd Shier, meanwhile, has been a fixture in the Martha Table's kitchen for the past five years.
Before the 72-year-old moved to Kingston to work in property management, Shier had worked in kitchens when he lived in Toronto. He now volunteers three days a week, down from five after undergoing a triple bypass a couple of years ago.
Like Chinnery, Shier finds the greatest reward in the people he meets.
"When I walk down the street, I always have people coming up and saying, 'Hi, Boyd,' " Shier said.
Shier and Martha Table's man-a ging director Ronda Candy spent Sunday cooking the first batch of the 28 turkeys served Monday afternoon. 12762984.

Death*Carmen Richard Shier died on 22 December 2015 in Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket, York County, Ontario, Canada, at age 90; SHIER, Carmen (Carm) - At Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket, on Tuesday, December 22, 2015, in his 91st year. Carm Shier of Newmarket, beloved husband of the late Margaret and dear father of the late David. He is survived by his sisters Linda Silver (twin), Verna Williamson and Gwen Brown. Predeceased by his sister June Lee and his brothers Wes and Trevor Shier. He will be sadly missed by brother-in-law Richard Bielat of New Jersey, his many nieces and nephews and dear friend Norm Smart.

On-line condolences may be made at www.roadhouseandrose.com.
Fact 1*If anyone needed a helping hand, they never had to reach out further than to Carmen Shier.
“He was generous, very generous. You have the cause and Carm would support it,” his friend, Norm Smart, said while reminiscing about Shier’s life at the Newmarket branch of the Royal Canadian Legion with fellow comrades Don Bishop and John King.
“He should be remembered for his kindness and generosity. If you were his friend, you were his friend for life.”
Shier, the last living founding father of the legion and a charter member of the Newmarket Veterans’ Association, died Dec. 22 at the age of 90.
It was standing-room only at his funeral at New Hope Methodist Church on Dec. 28.

“Sometimes, when you get into your 90s, you don’t think you have many friends around, but it (the church) was loaded,” Bishop said.
“It was a tremendous send-off for a great guy,” Smart added.
Shier enlisted with the 2nd Royal Canadian Artillery on Aug. 13, 1943 at the age of 18.
After serving as a gunner in France, Holland and Germany, he was discharged on June 14, 1946.
Shier was awarded the 1935 to 1945 Service Medal and the France Star.
After returning home, he began a career as an aircraft worker.
He met his future wife, Margaret, while she was working at a bank in Aurora and a romance blossomed.
The couple had a son, David, who died about 20 years ago.
Margaret died about 14 years ago after battling Alzheimer’s disease.
“They most definitely had a loving relationship. When she was in hospital, he went every day to feed her morning, noon and night,” Smart said, adding Shier had a good sense of humour.
“I remember Carm coming into the club one time and he said, ‘I think my wife is getting better.’ I said ‘What do you mean, Carm? She has Alzheimer’s.’ He said, ‘I know, but every day I go in and say, ‘Do you know who I am?’ and Margaret says, ‘Yes, I know who you are.’ Today, I went in and said, ‘Margaret, do you know who I am?’ and she said, ‘If you don’t know, I’m not telling you.’”
In 1947, Shier joined the legion and over the next seven decades, served in a wide variety of roles, including first and second vice-president, sports officer, sick and visiting officer and a member of the financial committee.
Always helping out at the branch, it was unheard of for Shier to turn down a request to help in any way.
He assisted every year with the Remembrance Day poppy campaign, a cause near and dear to his heart.
He also helped for many years with setting up the crosses and candles for the candlelight vigil at the cenotaph.
Until it was cancelled, Shier helped with the legion’s annual soap box derby on Main Street.
Always an active participant in the legion’s sports and recreation activities, Shier was particularly proud of being on the winning 10-man provincial championship cribbage team in 1960.
“He was as proud as a peacock,” Bishop said.
If Shier, an avid card player, ever lost a game, his friends at the legion would tease him by taking the championship plaque off the wall and vowing not to return it until he was on a winning streak.
“‘I’ll have you up on charges,’ he’d say,” Bishop laughed.
Shier was a founding member of the veterans’ association and served on the executive board for more than 30 years in many roles, including president more than once.
One of his most noted contributions was performing the roll call every year at the Decoration Day services, a role he performed up until last June.
Shier also played baseball in the veterans’ league in Bradford well into his old age.
For 49 years, he volunteered with the annual Newmarket house league hockey tournament, always honoured to be the one to drop the puck on opening night.
Shier was a proud member for many years of the men’s a cappella singing group, the Upper Canada Chordsmen Chorus.
He donated financially to more than a dozen charities, including the Alzheimer  Society of Canada, and also sponsored two children through UNICEF.
Always up for anything, Shier and a group of friends began taking annual trips together after Margaret died.
He enjoyed ice fishing and never met a breakfast he didn’t like.
“He would eat breakfast four times a day. He loved to go out for breakfast. He loved fat and salt,” Bishop said.
“And he was just a little guy,” King added.
Shier was well loved and respected, Bishop said.
“He was the type of man who would never say anything derogatory about any person. He always had something nice to say about everybody,” he said.
“He was very well admired by everybody in town. There was nobody who disrespected Carm.”
King agreed.
“The women used to say he was a very sweet man, which was true. You can’t get around that,” he said.
Shier is survived by his twin sister, Linda Silver, and sisters Verna Williamson and Gwen Brown, brother-in-law Richard Bielat and many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by sister June Lee and brothers Wes and Trevor. 
Burial*He was buried in Newmarket Cemetery, Veterans' Plot, Newmarket, York County, Ontario, Canada.
