Obituary of Sitting Eagle

Our beloved mother left us suddenly on Friday, July 2, 2004, to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, also to join her loving husband John whom she was in deep mourning for. Pauline was born and raised on the Siksika Nation and attended the Crowfoot Indian Residential School. Later on, she married John Sitting Eagle and raised a family together. Pauline was a good and faithful wife, also a good mother who took pride in her children and grandchildren. She did her best in raising them up with good values and in the Catholic way of life. Pauline will be remembered for her good nature, understanding and helpful ways by all who were close to her, especially by her children whom she treasured. Pauline is survived by her daughters, Sandra (Radford) and Vivian (Richard); sons, Anthony, Stewart (Koren), Adrian, and Curtis (Janine); special granddaughters, Crystal and Erica and all her grandchildren; brother Joe (Claudia); sisters Evelyn (Pete) and Patricia.
