Outlook Funeral Chapel

Outlook Funeral Chapel Megan continues this legacy with unwavering dedication and care. In 2009, I made the decision to go back to school and start my career in funeral service.

For over 60 years, Outlook Funeral Chapel has been a pillar of support for families, offering comfort in difficult times and providing personalized services with care and compassion. As a single mother of two young children, working as an EA in the Saskatoon public school system was both rewarding and provided a great work-life balance. However, I soon realized that it wasn’t a career that could fully support my children, and I wanted more—for them and for myself. From the moment I stepped into this profession, I knew I had found my path. Finding balance wasn’t always easy, but we made it work. Fast forward through three cities in Saskatchewan and three different funeral homes—I had the privilege of learning from some of the most experienced 30+ year funeral directors in our province. Their guidance and mentorship shaped me into the professional I am today. Throughout the years, I often spoke with Floyd about my dream of coming home. In 2022, an opportunity arose that I simply couldn’t turn down—the chance to buy Outlook Funeral Chapel and return to my roots. It was a dream I had carried for years, and now, with 16 years in funeral service, I am honored and privileged to serve the communities I grew up in. This journey has been an incredible blessing beyond comprehension, and I am grateful for it every single day.

Brenton “Brent” Leslie Silverthorn
1964 – 2025
Brenton (Brent) Silverthorn—known affectionately as Spider, Spidey, Captain, Cappy, and as Brenton Leslie Silverthorn III—passed away in 2025, leaving behind a legacy of wit, curiosity, and a life lived entirely on his own terms.
Brent is survived by his mother, Edna Silverthorn, his sister Terri Silverthorn (Kevin Hodgson), and many extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply. He was predeceased by his father, Earle “Bud” Silverthorn.
Born in Outlook, Saskatchewan, Brent spent his early years between Conquest and Montgomery School in Saskatoon before attending high school at E.D. Feehan. He graduated top of his class in Automotive Mechanics from Kelsey and later earned his Journeyman in Sheet Metal in 2009—an accomplishment he was proud of.
Over the years, Brent worked in a wide range of roles: from Saskatoon’s bar scene to the Innovation Place Greenhouse for Sask Wheat Pool, to many construction and sheet metal projects throughout Saskatchewan. Most recently, he was employed by the RM of Fertile Valley. No matter the job, Brent brought his sharp humour, resourcefulness, and a knack for fixing “just about anything”—even if the final result was, in true Brent fashion, “serviceable partial completion.”
Brent had countless passions that reflected his adventurous spirit. He enjoyed white-water kayaking, Volkswagens and motorcycles, snowboarding, fishing, and collecting unique treasures. He loved festivals like Craven, often attending in his vintage VW bus. He was a proud Riders fan and spent several years playing with the Outlook Old Stocks hockey team.
Brent made his home between Saskatoon and his beloved 7.5-acre acreage “the Ranch” near Ardath, a place where he could tinker, create, and live life freely.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 23, at 2:00 p.m. at The Longbranch, Ramada Inn, Idylwyld Drive, Saskatoon. This will be a casual gathering, and all who knew Brent are welcome to attend and share memories. Donations in Brent’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Eric Johnson
November 2, 1933 – November 13, 2025

Eric Ernest Johnson was born on November 2, 1933, on the Johnson homestead near Swanson, Saskatchewan, and passed away during the night of November 13, 2025, shortly after celebrating his 92nd birthday.
He was the oldest of four children born to Minnie and Ernest Johnson. Eric spent his early years on the farm but began exploring other opportunities in his late teens. He worked as a longshoreman in Vancouver, spent winters on a logging crew in the Rose Valley area, and did some trapping in northern Canada. After his adventures throughout western and northern Canada, he decided to return to the Swanson district and purchased a farm near his parents.
On October 8, 1966, Eric married Marilyn Fern Ritchie, and the two began farming together. They welcomed their first son, Bernie, in 1967, followed by their second son, Mike, in 1969. In addition to farming, Eric worked intermittently at the Outlook Auction with his long-time friend Walt Smith and as a crop insurance adjuster.
Eric and Marilyn lived on the farm until Marilyn moved to the Outlook and District Health Centre -Long Term Care in the spring of 2016. Eric continued farming with Mike until he "retired" in 2020, at which point he relocated to an apartment in Outlook. About four years ago, he joined Marilyn at the Outlook and District Health Centre – Long Term Care, where he enjoyed reconnecting with many friends. Eric had a sweet tooth, making him a favourite among the other residents when they discovered his candy stash. He was very grateful for the love and care provided by the staff at the Outlook and District Health Centre – Long Term Care to both him and Marilyn.
Eric appreciated life and loved telling stories and tall tales about his many adventures. He took delight in teasing others—many friends and family members experienced his teasing. Eric loved his dogs, and it was not uncommon to find one beside him or sitting on his lap, enjoying whatever Eric was snacking on at the time. Eric had a passion for gardening and possessed extensive knowledge about plants, which he shared freely. He was a very sociable person and seldom missed an opportunity for coffee and conversation.
Eric was predeceased by his parents, his wife, Marilyn, in 2023, their son, Bernie, in 1998, their grandson, Christian, in 2024, and his brother, Glen, in 2021. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Mike; his grandchildren, Candise (Ryan) and their daughter, Brynnley; Chad; and Christian's (Nikkita) children: Nahla, Austin, and Ryker. He is also remembered by his sister, Rose Marie (Martin), his brother, Richard (Susan), and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of Eric's life will take place at a later date. Donations in Eric's memory may be directed to the Outlook and District Health Foundation - Long Term Care (Box 427, Outlook, SK S0L 2N0).

Janice Lee Dongworth

With love, we remember Janice Lee Dongworth — a woman of spirit, laughter, and strength.

Janice lived life on her own terms. She loved music, dancing, good food, and the beauty of a garden in bloom. She brought energy and warmth wherever she went and cared deeply for the people she loved.

She is dearly missed by her children, Katie Van Dop and Lex Van Dop, her grandson Odin Van Dop, and all who were lucky to know her.

Her laugh will be heard forever in our hearts.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to everyone from Lucky Lake who traveled to Outlook to celebrate Janice’s life. Your presence meant so much. They also wish to acknowledge the many friends who were unable to attend due to the distance — your love, support, and kind thoughts were truly felt and deeply appreciated. Holding the service in Outlook made it easier for some of her family to gather, and your understanding and compassion during this time have been a great comfort.

John Ross McPhail
March 5, 1941 – November 8, 2025
John Ross McPhail, 84, of Outlook, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2025, surrounded by family and love.
Born in Brock, Saskatchewan, John grew up in Beechy and pursued a teaching career that spanned 38 years—most of it in Outlook—where he inspired generations of students with his wit, patience, and love of learning. It was in Outlook that he met the love of his life, Cathy, and together they raised their daughters, Gillian and Kendra.
John was deeply involved in his daughters’ lives, never missing a game, recital, or performance. The endless support soon evolved into essay proofreading, teaching advice, and lesson planning guidance. Inspired by his dedication, both became teachers themselves.
Even after retiring in 2003, John remained active in the community, volunteering with the Royal Canadian Legion, Meals on Wheels, Donor’s Choice, Variety Place, the SIAST Board, and the Equinox Theatre, where he directed many productions. His contributions were recognized with the Outlook Citizen of the Year (2013), the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (2023), and the King Charles III Coronation Medal for Community Service (2025). He also loved working with newcomers, volunteering to teach English as a Second Language.
In recent years, John’s greatest joy came from his grandchildren, Addison and Simon. He was the first to happily volunteer to read them unlimited stories, play games, and take full advantage of any opportunity to spend time with them. They adored him completely, and he loved them with all his heart.
Above all, John treasured family and friends. He was endlessly curious, a gifted storyteller, and possessed remarkable knowledge of literature, history, and current events. With Cathy, he travelled to over 30 countries, documenting their journeys through blogs, photo books, and countless conversations. Together, they truly saw the world and lived a purposeful, joy-filled life.
John is survived by his wife, Cathy; daughters Gillian and Kendra (Trevor); grandchildren Addison and Simon; sister Margaret (Ron); sisters-in-law Jane (Gerry) and Diane; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Ross and Erie; sisters Dorothy and Grace; parents-in-law Eldon and Hilde; and brother-in-law Richard.
A Celebration of Life for John will be held on Saturday, November 15, at 2:00 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Outlook, SK. The service will be livestreamed at https://www.youtube.com/. To share memories, offer condolences, or find additional service details, please visit outlookfuneralchapel.com.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bailey (RUH), Dr. Mynhardt, and the staff at Outlook and District Health Center for their compassionate care.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Outlook and District Health Foundation or the Outlook Branch #262, Royal Canadian Legion (Box 811, Outlook, SK).
