Amalia (Molly) Propp

Thursday, October 27, 1925 - Thursday, January 27, 2022

                                  "Thursday's child has far to go."   

Traditional interpretation focuses on the concept of positive abilities and talents that will take them far in life.  And so it was for Molly.

Molly was born in Rhein, SK, the 8th of 11 children born to Henry and Olinda (Bruch) Weber.  She was predeceased by her husband Gottfried (Scotty) Propp in 2018; by her parents and all of her siblings; Henry and Olinda Weber; siblings: Henry (Mary) Weber, Pauline (Alex) Guenther, Alex Weber, Mary (Albert) Schmidt, Peter (Wally) Weber, John (Nettie) Weber, Millicent (William) Lynn, Charles (Vivian) Weber, Martha (Irvin) Hilderman, Hilda (Donald) Wingert.  Also deceased were a number of nephews and nieces.

Molly attended Rhein School until she was needed at home to care for her mother and the household.

In 1946 she married her love, Gottfried.  They lived temporarily in Rhein, later building a house just south of town. The house was later moved to Yorkton.  In 1962 they built a new home in Yorkton where they resided till Gottfried's passing in 2018.

Meanwhile Molly took typing and secretarial courses.  She worked full time in fabric retail and later as a medical receptionist until her retirement.

Summer holidays saw travel to the Rocky Mountains for 1 week for several years.  The travel bug then expanded to two world fairs (Seattle and Vancouver), two tours of Europe, Hawaii and the Maritime provinces. At home, you can't forget Wednesday afternoons when Yorkton businesses were closed.  It was packing the picnic basket and off to Good Spirit Lake and the sand dunes for the afternoon ... or till the sun went down.  Or off to Regina with friends for a shopping trip. In 1956 they built a cottage at Madge Lake.  It became a gathering place for relatives and friends to do lots of "lake things."                                        

In the off-season Molly loved making Sunday brunch after church, extravagant meals for the holidays, always a cake for birthdays (of which there were many).

Relaxation time included sewing wardrobe, home decor, upholstery, and quilting.  She grew vegetables and flowers, canned, froze vegetables and baked.  Freezers were mostly brimming.

She actually had time for a number of serious illnesses and surgeries from which she recovered.

Molly is survived by her daughter Paulette Namaka, grandson Scott Namaka and his wife Shyla and daughter Ryleigh, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
