DRAGER: Wilfred of Seaforth

Peacefully at Seaforth Long Term Care with family by his side on Saturday, November 25, 2023 at the age of 94. Loving husband of the late Jean (Bennewies) (2020).  Dear father of Bryan and Sylvia Drager of Saskatoon,  Janet and Larry Penno of Seaforth and Larry and Colleen (McKay) Drager of Saskatoon. Proud grandfather of Christopher, Carla and Scott; Adam and Jenn, Kathryn, and great-grandchildren Brody, Blakelyn; and Lux. Dear brother and brother-in law of Pearl Johnson, Rita Hatcher, Ron Drager (Dorothy), Erma Costello, Ken Drager (Marg), Raymond Drager (Shirley), Betty Price, Jackie Clithero, and Harvey Drager (Maize). Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his mother Martha (Leonhardt) Drager, infant brother Lloyd, sister Dorothy Baker, brothers-in-law Meade Baker, Bruce Johnson, George Hatcher, Barney Costello, Albert Price, and Dave Clithero.

Wilfred and Jean shared 67 years of marriage, striding through the ups and downs of life together as a team. Wherever Jean was, Wilfred was. Wilf’s passion in life was Farming. He was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and known for striking up a conversation with everyone!

Wilfred’s funeral service will be held in the funeral home on Tuesday at 1 PM with Pastor Brian Hymers officiating. Interment will take place in Harpurhey Cemetery.

Our prayers and sympathy are going out to the Drager family during this time of lament. I couldn’t have asked for better neighbours while I lived in Seaforth. The kindness and friendship will always be remembered. We will not be at the funeral as we both have doctors appointments that day. Wilf will always be remembered by many good memories. I need Janet’s home address and email as mine doesn’t work.

Dear Janet & all your family, we have many good memories with Jean & Wilfred. She was very knowledgable and taught me many things. Wilfred would help Jean set up a quilt frame & keep the needles threaded, we would also travel away together to purchase the right amount of fabric & then stop for a meal of broasted chicken at Anna Maes in Millbank. They also new a lot about gardening and flowers. They enjoyed their retirement.
