Velma Ell, age 91 passed away peacefully at the Good Shepherd Villa in Prince Albert, Sask. She was the oldest of five children born to Alex and Maggie McHarg of Melfort, Sask. Velma grew up on the family farm in the Melfort area and in adulthood pursued a career in teaching.

Together they built their new home there and continued to teach until their retirement.

Velma will be loving remembered by many cousins, nieces, nephews, sister-in-law Joyce McHarg and very good friends.

She was predeceased by her husband Joe, her parents Alex and Maggie McHarg, her sister Inez, her three brothers, Lyle, Bud and Doug, nephew Hugh McHarg and sisters-in-law Lucy and Lois McHarg.
