As I was walking along the beach with my Lord, across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. In each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand, I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. “Lord, You said once I decided to follow You, You’d walk with me all the way, But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life there was only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most,You would leave me?” He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and I will never leave you. During all your trials and testings, When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.” December 27, 1925 - August 11, 2019 93 Years

Theresa Mary (nee Dodd) McLeod was born in Sinnett, Sask., on December 27, 1925, the fifth child of William and Maude (nee LaLonde) Dodd. She attended the Loyola Public and the Loyola Continuation Schools in Sinnett and later studied to be a certified teacher through Normal School in Saskatoon. Theresa first started teaching in a rural school in Attica and later came to Clearview to begin teaching there and at this time she met Bryce in 1948. The couple married on October 17, 1949, and settled in the Spalding area. Their life was blessed by the lives of their six children and they farmed together until Bryce’s passing in 1975. Theresa moved from the farm to Watson and worked for eight years with the dietary staff of the Watson Union Hospital until her retirement. She became very involved in the New Horizons Club in Watson and was a member of the Daphne Willing Workers. Music was a great passion for Theresa, she sang for many years in the local choir and played both the guitar and the piano. Along with creating beautiful paintings and cheering on her “Blue Jays”, Theresa was an avid and accomplished card player, and of all the card games she loved to play, her favorite was bridge. But far and above everything else, Theresa found her true joy in spending time with her family and everyone will remember stopping by to share a visit, complete with treats, like ice-cream and candy. Theresa will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by her six children and their families: Marion (+Bill) Green, and family, Glenda (Angelica) Green, Kendra (Aaron) and Shondra, and Shannon (Jason) Friesen and Hannah, Ethan, and Lincoln; Lloyd (Shirley) McLeod and family, Laurie (Ashley) Reschny, Garrett (Kiana), and Shelby, Jody (Dave) McLeod and Amanda Howe and Michael Howe, and Robert (Leslie) McLeod and Conner and Robyn; Bonnie (Bill) Lax and family, (+Tom) (Angela) Lax, Curtis (Kaylea) Lax and Ben, Quentin, and Maggie, and Robbie (Rhonda) Lax, Carson, and Dylan; Judy (Eugene) Eggerman and family, David (Beth) Eggerman, Kiara, Rylan, and Connor, Joe (Raime) Eggerman, Luke and Jake, Dale (Jenny) Eggerman, Kymer and Kenlee, Gene (Glynnis) Eggerman and Nolan, and Lisa Eggerman; Gordon McLeod and Oleksandra Muzh and family Cortlen, (Amy) McLeod and Lewis, and Anndi McLeod; Lorne (Cheryl) McLeod and Mac and Loryl. Theresa is predeceased by her husband, Bryce (1975); her parents, William and Maude (nee LaLonde) Dodd; her parents-in-law, Wes and Ada McLeod; her brothers, Bill Dodd, Tom Dodd and Ted (Emily) Dodd; her sister, Laura (George) Scott; her son-in-law, Thomas “Bill” Green; and by her grandson, Tom Lax.
