Geraldine Henderson
December 12, 1954 – January 12, 2026
Geraldine Donna Henderson (nee Wiebe) was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on December 12, 1954. Geraldine passed away peacefully on January 12, 2026, surrounded by family. She is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Trevor; her sons Derek (Lynnzi) and Jerred (Kiley), her stepsons Wade and Chad, and her daughter-in-law Cynthia; her 13 beloved grandchildren Elizabeth, Dominic, James, Baine, Kal, Waylon, Willow, Weston, Joel, Anna, Ava, Noah, Ashton, and her great-grandson Sully; her mother Irene; her siblings Gerald (Beth), Lyle, Vonda, and many nieces and nephews. Geraldine is predeceased by her stepson Brent, her father Henry, her siblings Kenny and Sharon, her sister-in-law JoAnne, her in-laws Ted, Bertha, and Sharon (Floyd), and her aunts and uncles.
Geraldine grew up in Saskatoon, attending school at Mount Royal and working various jobs, including in the records room at RUH. She moved to Lucky Lake shortly before Christmas in 1983 after meeting the love of her life, Trevor, at the Saskatoon Exhibition lunch counter. Together, they raised their 5 boys and ran the family farm. She enjoyed gardening, always planting a large garden while helping move trucks, bringing meals out to the field in the trusty motorhome, and doing any other task needed. Geraldine was a hard worker, and she was always busy making sure she was helping in any way possible. She spent many hours canning, freezing, and pickling vegetables and making jam and jelly. Her dill pickles and chokecherry syrup are the stuff of legend. There were always chocolate chip and monster cookies available at Granny’s house and in her final weeks, she just wanted to go home and make cookies for the kids.
After the boys grew up, Geraldine began working at Lucky Lake School as a teacher’s aide. She found so much joy working with the youth at the school. Geraldine was very active in the community, volunteering with the Kinettes, Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Community Centre, the Double L Motel Board, and the United Church Board. She delivered Meals on Wheels and would help wherever help was needed. She supplied the rink with her delicious homemade donuts on many occasions.
Geraldine loved enjoying time at the lake, including Iroquois Lake, Shell Lake, Diefenbaker Lake, and many others. She was so excited to get all the grandkids together, whether it was home for Christmas, to the cabin in the summer, or even to the waterslides at the Travelodge.
Family was everything to her. Geraldine looked forward to gathering with her extended family as often as possible. This meant annual family reunions and many trips to visit her siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Geraldine was a bright light in the world and brought joy to all who knew her. She took care of everyone; her strength and love will live with all of us for years to come.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 2 pm at Lucky Lake Community Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lucky Lake School Playground.
