Doris June Rue

Doris was born in Esterhazy to William and Caroline Knezacek (nee Duchek) and was raised on a small farm 2 ½ miles northwest of town.  After graduating from high school, she worked in a bank in Esterhazy and then ventured to Regina to take a keyboard course.  There she met Bob. 

They married on June 24, 1967.  They moved from Regina to Yorkton and finally back to Esterhazy with their family.  Eventually they purchased a quarter of land north of town.  They both loved the quiet country life.  Over the years Doris would spend a good part of her life working in the Payroll Department at IMC/Mosaic, helping Bob run the Twin Spruce Garage, and assisting with the farm work. 

Doris was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and in 2019 moved into the Care Home.

She is survived by her husband, Robert; 3 sons, Steven (Sandra), Ted (Jacquie), Vaughn (Leanne); daughter, Ramona Young (Chris); grandchildren, Cassidy, Larissa, Jake, Dakota, Alandra, Alianna, Donovan, Jane, Lindsay, Leah, Dylan; great-grandchildren, Olen, Fin, Margot, Frances; brother, Roy (Laurette) Knezacek; 2 sisters, Jeannette Lomenda, Dianne Bartok; sister-in-law, Maureen Knezacek; brother-in-law, Vic Rue.
