Sarah Ada Klatt

In Loving Memory of Sarah Ada Klatt
1927 – 2025

Sarah Ada Klatt passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, at the remarkable age of 98.

Sarah was born in Roblin, Manitoba, on September 19, 1927. Her family later moved to Kelwood, where she met the love of her life, Edwin Klatt, at a local dance. They were married in 1952 and shared a life filled with love, laughter, and dedication on their family farm in Plumas, Manitoba. Edwin predeceased her in May of 2008.

Sarah is survived by her four children: Darlene Heron, Lorrie Fraser, Gail Kirkland (Brian), and Kevin Klatt; grandchildren: Michelle Macdonald, Chris Kirkland, Candace Glover, Tyler Fraser, Ryan Heron, and Shannon Heron; great-grandchildren: Christopher Kirkland, Lauren and Matthew Macdonald, Sydney and Brandon Fraser, Bronson and Kiptyn Glover, and Weston and Becket Heron; and great-great-granddaughter, Abagail Kirkland. 

She is also survived by her sisters Vi Hendrickson and Pat Bais as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Sarah was predeceased by her sisters Lil Ficek and Pearl Muzyka, step-sister Ruby Pinchin, brother Geo Winn, and step-brothers John and Harvey Winn.

A vibrant and active member of her community, Sarah had a lifelong love of sports and social activities. She was an avid baseball player in her youth and well into adulthood, a devoted Blue Jays and Winnipeg Jets fan, and an enthusiastic curler, golfer, and bowler. Sarah also loved bingo nights and casino trips, where her family often marvelled at her good luck.

Her baking abilities were second to none — her pies were always a fan favourite at community bake sales and dinners. She was also a talented seamstress, creating countless cherished outfits for her family.  

Sarah spent the last three years as a resident at Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff for their kindness and care, and to Dr. Kristen Wareham for her dedication throughout Sarah’s stay.

She was a longtime, dedicated member of both the Royal Canadian Legion and the United Church Women’s group, contributing countless hours to causes close to her heart.

Sarah will be remembered for her strong spirit, warm heart, and unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and community.

At Sarah’s request, there will not be a funeral. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Knox United Church in Plumas in her memory.

"Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money

Maybe we're ragged and funny

But we'll travel along, singin' a song

Side by side…"
