Premier Scott Moe marks the passing of former Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Honorary Colonel the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, S.O.M., C.D., S.V.M. with praise for a remarkable representative of our province.
"Vaughn Solomon Schofield was a wonderful embodiment of the Saskatchewan spirit," Premier Moe said. "She was Lieutenant Governor when I became Premier and I saw her dedication to the people of our province firsthand on many occasions. In particular, her decades-long commitment to our Armed Forces was steadfast and she will be missed by all who knew her."
Solomon Schofield was Saskatchewan's 21st Lieutenant Governor, serving from 2012 through 2018. She died in Regina on April 8, 2026, after a short illness.
Born in Regina and educated at the University of Saskatchewan's Regina Campus and the Rae-Vogue School in Chicago, Solomon Schofield served as President and CEO of Western Group of Companies, a business real estate organization holding interests throughout Western Canada. She was a recipient of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal, the Canadian Forces Decoration and served as the Chancellor of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit.
"Krista and I join Their Honours, the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Bernadette McIntyre and Mr. Rich McIntyre, in offering our condolences to Ms. Solomon Schofield's family, including her daughter Whitney, son George, and five grandchildren," Premier Moe said.
Books of condolence will be available in the main lobby of the Legislative Building and at Government House for those wishing to sign in person. Online condolences may be sent through the official website of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan at www.ltgov.sk.ca.
Flags will be placed at half-mast across the province immediately and until sunset on the day of the funeral, arrangements for which will be announced at a later date.
