It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Roger Beardsworth on January 18, 2024, eleven days before his 83rd birthday.

Roger taught school in North Battleford for 27 years and spoke often of his memories with the hundreds of students who touched his life over the years.

Roger looked forward to his annual canoeing and winter camping trips with his retired teacher buddies.  He was an avid gardener and spent countless hours each summer tending to their backyard flower beds, their pride and joy.

Roger is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Maxine, son Jeff (Kris) and granddaughter Katie (Sander Vahepold) and great granddaughter Reese as well as daughter Karen (Jason) Biever and grandsons Jones and Jasper.

The family takes comfort in knowing that Roger will be re-united with the family members that predeceased him especially his son Steven, who passed tragically in July 1995.

As per Roger’s wishes, there will be no official service.  A private family memorial to take place later in the summer.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Battlefords Humane Society – Po Box 645 North Battleford, SK S9A 2Y7 or the charity of choice.

Condolences for the family can be made at www.eternalmemoriesfuneral.ca Arrangements have been entrusted to Eternal Memories Funeral Service & Crematorium – Trevor Watts Funeral Director.
