Outlook Funeral Chapel

Megan continues this legacy with unwavering dedication and care. In 2009, I made the decision to go back to school and start my career in funeral service.

For over 60 years, Outlook Funeral Chapel has been a pillar of support for families, offering comfort in difficult times and providing personalized services with care and compassion. As a single mother of two young children, working as an EA in the Saskatoon public school system was both rewarding and provided a great work-life balance. However, I soon realized that it wasn’t a career that could fully support my children, and I wanted more—for them and for myself. From the moment I stepped into this profession, I knew I had found my path. Finding balance wasn’t always easy, but we made it work. Fast forward through three cities in Saskatchewan and three different funeral homes—I had the privilege of learning from some of the most experienced 30+ year funeral directors in our province. Their guidance and mentorship shaped me into the professional I am today. Throughout the years, I often spoke with Floyd about my dream of coming home. In 2022, an opportunity arose that I simply couldn’t turn down—the chance to buy Outlook Funeral Chapel and return to my roots. It was a dream I had carried for years, and now, with 16 years in funeral service, I am honored and privileged to serve the communities I grew up in. This journey has been an incredible blessing beyond comprehension, and I am grateful for it every single day.

It is with deep love and sadness that the family of Wilho Kako announces his sudden passing on November 23, 2025, at the age of 97. Wilho was born in the old house on the family farm on October 29, 1928 (which still stands today). He completed his schooling at Lance Valley School and attended the School of Agriculture, receiving his diploma in 1958. Wilho experienced many changes over the years in farming techniques and technology, going from oxen to tractors. Wilho was very talented with his hands, creating woodwork and mechanical devices for many purposes. He was a handyman and a jack of all trades. His life was farming. He went from helping out his dad, Henry, and his Uncle John, to taking over the family business, to helping Darcy when he took over, to being a helpful senior advisor.

Wilho also had a strong interest in music from a very young age. He bought his first accordion when he was a teenager and learned to play by ear. He was a part of several bands over the years and later became a one-man band. He kept alive the polkas and waltzes and entertained at many, many events over a large area around southern Saskatchewan for a large part of his life. He tuned many pianos in the community and beyond after taking a piano tuning course. He built a three-necked steel guitar from the plans published in a Popular Mechanics magazine from the 1960's which he was very proud of. Unfortunately, a small stroke left him unable to play certain instruments later in life.

Wilho met his first wife, Genevieve, at the Red and White grocery store in Beechy, and they were married in 1963. They had two children, Blair and Darcy, in 1968 and 1970. When Wilho retired from farming, Darcy took over the farm and continued the legacy. Wilho made many trips to Finland to remain in touch with relatives. He was able to retain the ability to converse in Finnish. After Gen passed away, Wilho married Audrey and moved to Outlook, where he resided for twenty years until they moved into the Elrose Care Home for three and a half years. They shared a passion for music and entertained in many venues.

Wilho is survived by his two sons: Blair (Mary) and their two sons: Alex and Ivan; Darcy (Jodi) and their two sons: Damon and Ryan; many nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as his second wife, Audrey, and her family.

Wilho is predeceased by his first wife, Genevieve; parents: Henry and Sofia, and his stepmom, Hazel; sisters: Linda and Ella; stepsisters: Mildred, Florence, Rozina, and Margaret.

A Celebration of Wilho's life will take place at a later date. The family would like to say a special thank you to the Elrose Care Home for the exceptional, compassionate care given to Wilho. There just are not enough words to express our gratitude. Donations in Wilho's memory may be made to the Elrose Health Care Auxiliary, Box 593, Elrose, SK, S0L 0Z0.

Penny Lou Masear
1958 – 2025

Penny Lou Masear (nee Kerslake) was born in Dinsmore, Saskatchewan, on August 24, 1958. Penny passed away on November 21, 2025, surrounded by her family. Penny cherished her family beyond anything else. If a grandchild needed anything, she was there. If her daughter was in the hospital, she would be on the next flight. If she was home, the door was open, and the tea and cookies were ready.
Penny touched so many people during her life. She could walk into a room or onto a job site and know all the people around her, as well as their first names and families. She had such a bright light and a giving heart, generous without expectation, thoughtful beyond measure.
Her baking was amazing and incredibly delicious. She could be found in her kitchen, baking for her community, the bus kids, or her grandchildren. Her recipes are legendary.
Penny also loved her garden. She would be out puttering, weeding, or just enjoying the beautiful flowers. She made the most incredible jams, jellies, and canned goods with her harvest. It became a passion. Her family always said if there was an apocalypse, they were coming to Grandma and Grandpa’s, “they had food for days, and you could see anyone coming in both directions.”
Penny was very involved in the Dinsmore Senior Hall, and she would help with birthday parties, decorating, and creating fun adventures. In her free time, she would be cheering at the rink in Maryland with her grandsons or with the Dinsmore Dynamos. She loved cheering on her players! One of her last memories was with her two grandchildren on the ice in Maryland. She was cheering from her hospital bed. They scored, and as they celebrated, she watched them make heart signs to the live stream camera.
Penny had a mischievous side as well. Her sense of humour, sarcastic wit, and infectious laugh made for some interesting conversations. If you knew her, you knew love. She loved wholeheartedly, endlessly, and with a sense of joy that will continue to live through her family.
Penny is survived by her loving husband of forty-seven amazing years, Brian, her children Jesse (Courtney) and Brianne (Quinton); her seven adored grandchildren, Emily, Alexander, Maxwell, Quinn, Korben, William, and Sylus; her mother (MaryLou); her siblings, Cheri (Brad), Danny (Maribeth); and many nieces and nephews. Penny is predeceased by her father, Lyle, mother-in-law, Constance, and various aunts and uncles.
A celebration will be held in the spring to enjoy the flowers she loved so much.
The family would like to thank the Outlook & District Health Centre. The nursing staff were incredible and went above and beyond for Penny. We are so thankful for their care and attention in her final days.

Brenton “Brent” Leslie Silverthorn
1964 – 2025
Brenton (Brent) Silverthorn—known affectionately as Spider, Spidey, Captain, Cappy, and as Brenton Leslie Silverthorn III—passed away in 2025, leaving behind a legacy of wit, curiosity, and a life lived entirely on his own terms.
Brent is survived by his mother, Edna Silverthorn, his sister Terri Silverthorn (Kevin Hodgson), and many extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply. He was predeceased by his father, Earle “Bud” Silverthorn.
Born in Outlook, Saskatchewan, Brent spent his early years between Conquest and Montgomery School in Saskatoon before attending high school at E.D. Feehan. He graduated top of his class in Automotive Mechanics from Kelsey and later earned his Journeyman in Sheet Metal in 2009—an accomplishment he was proud of.
Over the years, Brent worked in a wide range of roles: from Saskatoon’s bar scene to the Innovation Place Greenhouse for Sask Wheat Pool, to many construction and sheet metal projects throughout Saskatchewan. Most recently, he was employed by the RM of Fertile Valley. No matter the job, Brent brought his sharp humour, resourcefulness, and a knack for fixing “just about anything”—even if the final result was, in true Brent fashion, “serviceable partial completion.”
Brent had countless passions that reflected his adventurous spirit. He enjoyed white-water kayaking, Volkswagens and motorcycles, snowboarding, fishing, and collecting unique treasures. He loved festivals like Craven, often attending in his vintage VW bus. He was a proud Riders fan and spent several years playing with the Outlook Old Stocks hockey team.
Brent made his home between Saskatoon and his beloved 7.5-acre acreage “the Ranch” near Ardath, a place where he could tinker, create, and live life freely.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 23, at 2:00 p.m. at The Longbranch, Ramada Inn, Idylwyld Drive, Saskatoon. This will be a casual gathering, and all who knew Brent are welcome to attend and share memories. Donations in Brent’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Eric Johnson
November 2, 1933 – November 13, 2025

Eric Ernest Johnson was born on November 2, 1933, on the Johnson homestead near Swanson, Saskatchewan, and passed away during the night of November 13, 2025, shortly after celebrating his 92nd birthday.
He was the oldest of four children born to Minnie and Ernest Johnson. Eric spent his early years on the farm but began exploring other opportunities in his late teens. He worked as a longshoreman in Vancouver, spent winters on a logging crew in the Rose Valley area, and did some trapping in northern Canada. After his adventures throughout western and northern Canada, he decided to return to the Swanson district and purchased a farm near his parents.
On October 8, 1966, Eric married Marilyn Fern Ritchie, and the two began farming together. They welcomed their first son, Bernie, in 1967, followed by their second son, Mike, in 1969. In addition to farming, Eric worked intermittently at the Outlook Auction with his long-time friend Walt Smith and as a crop insurance adjuster.
Eric and Marilyn lived on the farm until Marilyn moved to the Outlook and District Health Centre -Long Term Care in the spring of 2016. Eric continued farming with Mike until he "retired" in 2020, at which point he relocated to an apartment in Outlook. About four years ago, he joined Marilyn at the Outlook and District Health Centre – Long Term Care, where he enjoyed reconnecting with many friends. Eric had a sweet tooth, making him a favourite among the other residents when they discovered his candy stash. He was very grateful for the love and care provided by the staff at the Outlook and District Health Centre – Long Term Care to both him and Marilyn.
Eric appreciated life and loved telling stories and tall tales about his many adventures. He took delight in teasing others—many friends and family members experienced his teasing. Eric loved his dogs, and it was not uncommon to find one beside him or sitting on his lap, enjoying whatever Eric was snacking on at the time. Eric had a passion for gardening and possessed extensive knowledge about plants, which he shared freely. He was a very sociable person and seldom missed an opportunity for coffee and conversation.
Eric was predeceased by his parents, his wife, Marilyn, in 2023, their son, Bernie, in 1998, their grandson, Christian, in 2024, and his brother, Glen, in 2021. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Mike; his grandchildren, Candise (Ryan) and their daughter, Brynnley; Chad; and Christian's (Nikkita) children: Nahla, Austin, and Ryker. He is also remembered by his sister, Rose Marie (Martin), his brother, Richard (Susan), and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of Eric's life will take place at a later date. Donations in Eric's memory may be directed to the Outlook and District Health Foundation - Long Term Care (Box 427, Outlook, SK S0L 2N0).

He was an active member of his community through the Conquest Elks, Volunteer Fire Department, and Town Council, as well as numerous other committees. He also contributed his voice and enthusiasm by announcing Senior Merchant hockey and Capitals softball games, sharing his love of sport with everyone around him.

Janice Lee Dongworth

With love, we remember Janice Lee Dongworth — a woman of spirit, laughter, and strength.

Janice lived life on her own terms. She loved music, dancing, good food, and the beauty of a garden in bloom. She brought energy and warmth wherever she went and cared deeply for the people she loved.

She is dearly missed by her children, Katie Van Dop and Lex Van Dop, her grandson Odin Van Dop, and all who were lucky to know her.

Her laugh will be heard forever in our hearts.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to everyone from Lucky Lake who traveled to Outlook to celebrate Janice’s life. Your presence meant so much. They also wish to acknowledge the many friends who were unable to attend due to the distance — your love, support, and kind thoughts were truly felt and deeply appreciated. Holding the service in Outlook made it easier for some of her family to gather, and your understanding and compassion during this time have been a great comfort.
