William 'Bill' John Lindmark

October 5, 1928 ~ February 13, 2022

Mr. William John ‘Bill’ Lindmark passed away at the Coronation Long Term Care Centre on Sunday, February 13, 2022 at the age of 93 years. He was the second child born to John and Sadie Lindmark. Bill took his schooling at the Rough Meadow School, walking or riding horse back with Archie Brown. He spent a lot of his childhood over at the Brown’s playing with his cousins, Archie and Frances. Bill took one year of High School in Coronation, but he then quit to help his Dad on the farm. In the summer when they were farming, their tractor was a D2 CAT which had a ground speed of 3 ½ miles per hour, pulling an eight foot tiller. His Dad owned one of the first combines in the area which he helped run. In the winter, he helped a neighbor, Joe Carter with his farm work, which included breaking horses, which Bill really enjoyed doing. Bill’s family lived on the Pearson place a mile east of the family farm at Brownfield. They lived there until they moved to the George Frick farm when he was twelve years old. His parents bought this land which had been owned by Joe Carter; and he lived there with his parents until his marriage to Beatrice Gilbertson on October 28, 1951. They lived in Coronation, where Bill worked for the C.P.R the first winter. They then moved to the George Frick house which they rented and eventually purchased. Bill grain farmed and raised cattle there. He really enjoyed his cattle and horses. Five children were raised on this land. Bill and Bea enjoyed travelling with their friends to many places throughout Canada and the United States. He enjoyed going to rodeos, and in later years, watching them on the TV, on his Cowboy Channel. He enjoyed driving his truck around in later years checking crops and cattle in the neighborhood. He kept his love for farming and still had his cattle until moving into DSL in Coronation. The last few years he spent in DSL, and then the Long Term Care Centre, where he received excellent care. Bill loved going out for suppers with his family and especially loved seeing his grandchildren and great grandchildren. They loved him dearly as well.
