Miriam Martha Quiring

Miriam Martha Quiring was born on October 17, 1943, in Lucky Lake, SK, and passed away in Regina on May 13, 2026. She was predeceased by her parents Abraham and Marie Quiring, two sisters, Shirley Hitziou and Marion Lautermilch, and three brothers-in law, Gus Hitziou, Alvin Lautermilch, and Leslie Froggatt. She leaves to mourn her partner of more than 54 years, Stanley Paxman, one sister, Marlene Froggatt, one brother, Dwight (Ruth) Quiring, four nieces, Faye Hitziou (Adonis Evagelidakis), Carolyn (Bob) Klassen, Lisa (Rod) Doka, Melissa (Brad) Neufeld, and one nephew, Luke (Susan) Quiring, as well as many great nieces and nephews, and a special great-nephew, Giorgo Evagelidakis.

After graduating from Central Collegiate in Regina, Miriam went on to a 32-year long career at Sask Power where she made many lifelong friends. Holidays were special to Miriam. Her first big trip was a 5-week tour of Europe where she enjoyed travelling with one of her best friends. She and Stan also shared memories as they travelled to Hawaii and cruised on the Caribbean. At home, they took in many music concerts, especially gospel music events and the tributes to Elvis performed by Rory Allen.

One area of life where Miriam really shone was in her tender care-giving to her mother, Marie, until Marie’s passing in 2013, and then in more recent years to Stan. Even after she received her cancer diagnosis in January, Miriam’s main concern was being close to Stan. She was extremely thankful that she was placed on his unit at Wascana Rehabilitation Centre so she could see him every day.

The family would like to thank Dr. Van Heerden and the wonderful caregivers on Unit 3-5 at Wascana who helped Miriam in her final days. We know she is now safe in the arms of Jesus, whom she accepted as her Saviour, and felt His comfort and peace as she passed into eternity.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the Fellowship Room at Westhill Park Baptist Church, 8025 Sherwood Drive, Regina, SK, at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 20th. Please use the West door. Everyone is welcome.
