It’s time to celebrate the life of an amazing man, Art Cedergren. Arthur Oscar Cedergren was born October 31, 1919, to Frank and Linnea Cedergren, in the original family home at Keeler. Art was predeceased by his beloved wife of 72 years, Alice (McGillivray) Cedergren, his parents and sisters Lillian Yake, Alice Crerar, Mildred Guillaume, and Ivy Neff. When Art was only a few months old his mom and dad sold the farm at Keeler and moved to Minnesota for 6 years. Ownership of the farm reverted back to his family and they returned to Keeler in 1926 to continue farming. Art took over the farming operation in 1935. He joined the army in 1941 and received his discharge in 1945; the same year he met and married Alice. Art and Alice remained on the farm until their retirement in 1983. In 1963, Art, Alice and 5 neighboring families joined together to form Golden Acres Machinery Co-op. He was extremely proud of this collaboration. Art spent 20 years on the executive of Co-op Implements, the last 5 years as president of the company. In 1983 Art and Alice retired to Candle Lake. They lived and enjoyed northern Saskatchewan lake life for 20 years. There they met wonderful friends and Art lived his dream of being an “Outdoors Man”. They moved to Moose Jaw in 2003. Art was a lifelong learner and teacher. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and hope.
