Lana Alma Leask

In Remembrance 

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mother, sister, sister-in- law, auntie, kookum, and friend, Lana Alma Leask, with her four daughters, grandchildren, and family by her side. Lana was a kind-hearted person, who loved to laugh and loved her grandchildren with all her heart. She always loved to joke around and make everyone laugh, and was always willing to go on a bingo adventure. She was always willing to help 

others. She loved camping with her grandchildren and family at Kettle Hills and Fort 

Qu’Appelle. She enjoyed visiting and spending time with her children, grandchildren friends & family. She was born at the Birch River hospital to Thelma & Wilfred Leask, youngest daughter of the family of 12 children. Lana was raised in Pelican Rapids & Sapotaweyak Cree Nation.
