ANDERSON

MERLE ALICE ANDERSON, beloved wife, sister, mother, grandma/nana, great-grandma and friend, passed away peacefully at home in Monarch on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 at the age of 80 years.

Merle was a devoted wife to William (Bill) Anderson for 65 years. She was a loving mother/mother-in-law to her seven children: Lynda (Ken) Hann, Candice Hillmer (deceased July 12, 2005), Maureen Anderson, Shelley-Anne (Val) Dennis, Karen (Rick) Potvin, Steve (Carolyn) Anderson, Laurel (Steve) Anderson and of course Billy Merritt.

She was a caring grandmother to her 18 grandchildren: Stuwart (Theresa) Hann, Craig (Colleen) Hann, Christopher Hann (deceased October 13, 1977), Tammy (John) Wilgus, Lonny (Darla) Beglaw, Kyrie (Chris) Cragg, Crystal Valeen, Mike (Jen) Schaaf, Mandi (Mike) Bodnar, Bonnie (David) Postman, Cindie (Spencer) Rowan, Colin Dennis, April (Troy) Willerton, Shannon (Brian) Pointer, Randi-Jo (Robert) Anderson, Robyn (Sawyer) Anderson, Jordis (Coleman) Odney and Ty Odney.

Merle was a very proud great-grandma to 29 great-grandchildren: Danielle & Zakery Hann, Jagear, Kaylee & Bowen Hann, Dallas & Kale Gardner, Triston, Jayden & Kayden Beglaw, Liam, Jaylen & Taina Cragg, Jayla, Brynnique & Grayson Valeen, Corbin Schaaf, Carlin, Allan & Mackaden Bodnar, Amy & Bella Postman, Grady, Jase, Sawyer & Lainey Rowan, Jackson Beauchamp and Skylar & Quinn Pointer.

Merle was predeceased by her only sister Marilyn Mayme Gosselin of Edmonton AB, parents Smith & Iva Stephans of Turtleford SK and her in-laws Egmond & Evelyn Anderson of Swift Current SK.

Merle was born in Turtleford, SK on August 10th, 1938. She met the love of her life in 1950 and was married shortly after on August 26th, 1953. Merle was a hard working farm wife with many jobs throughout her time. Her favorite and most proud job was being a Federal Government Meat Inspector beginning in 1976. They raised six daughters and one son on the farm outside of Monarch AB, instilling a hard work ethic and kindness into each one. Merle was often the person who was turned to in tough times; a person or animal was always welcome when in a time of need and never left hungry. Bill & Merle moved into the town of Monarch, where they enjoyed retirement but didn’t slow down in the slightest. She was your number one fan, from rodeo arenas, hockey games, baseball innings, school events, figure skating, dance recitals and everything in between, she did not miss anything. In fact, she was probably cheering the loudest. Merle’s support didn’t end at the family. She was loved and cherished by many friends and club members in her favorite event of the week at the Coalhurst 55+ club.

Merle was always loving and kind; she will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.

Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 from 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Catherine was also the Secretary Treasurer for the Catholic School Board in Raymond, a member of the church choir and was an avid square dancer with Andrew. Once their children were grown, she worked as a sales associate in the Eatons department store in Lethbridge.

In 1983, Catherine and Andrew retired from the farm and moved to a new home in Lethbridge where Catherine enjoyed her walks along the coulees and the view of the mountains from their back yard.

Catherine treasured times spent with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and was happiest when the family gathered together for celebrations.

Catherine’s family sincerely thanks Dr. Dalphond, Dr. Yamashita, and Sister Josephine, as well as the health care professionals, and the administrative and support staff members at Legacy Lodge for their care of Catherine over the past few years.

Linda Aspeslet

1946 – 2018

It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Linda Doreen Aspeslet at the age of 72 years. Linda was born on April 23, 1946 in Lethbridge, Alberta. She spent her early years on the family farm, attending a one-room schoolhouse before moving to the city. It was during her high school years at LCI when she met her sweetheart, Doug. After graduating from high school, Linda went to work for AGT. In 1965, she and Doug got married and Linda left her job to raise their four daughters. After all the girls had begun school, Linda returned to the workforce. For thirty-seven years she thoroughly enjoyed working with the dentists of Family Dental and later their sons at Southridge Dental. As a busy wife, mother of four rambunctious girls and an office manager, Linda still found time to be active in the community. She volunteered for various school activities, coached youth bowling and participated in fundraising events such as the Relay for Life for the Canadian Cancer Society. She and Doug were also active members of the Gyro Club where they developed many lasting friendships and created wonderful memories. Linda was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015 but it would not deter her from doing the things she loved, one of which was traveling. From the time she had a young family, vacations had always been a big part of their lives and after retiring in 2016, she and Doug began to travel more. They spent even more time at daughter Launa’s cabin on Kootenay Lake, an area where they had vacationed since the girls were children and took trips abroad with friends and family alike. Linda’s motto was always, “Do what you can while you can.” Linda was also interested in expressing her creative side, whether it be through macramé, crochet, quilting, porcelain doll making, never-ending house redecorating projects – and of course her Christmas goodies, which she lovingly shared with anyone and everyone. Family and friends were of the utmost importance to Linda and she made sure to pass that on to her children and grandchildren. As a family, they would walk together in support of the Step N Stride for the Parkinson Association of Alberta. Friday and Saturday night family suppers were a mainstay at Doug and Linda’s house – a time to reconnect and talk of past and future adventures. She made sure each of her children and grandchildren felt special and loved, even keeping up with the latest technology so that she could follow her girls on Facebook or Facetime/iMessage/text with her grandchildren. Linda is survived by her husband of 53 years, Doug; daughters Launa Aspeslet, Tara Aspeslet, Nicole Simms (Billy), Dionne (Trevor) Kenney and the joy of her life; grandchildren Nicholas, Ethan, Ainsley, Carson, Alicia, Isabelle, Shayla and Emma. She is also remembered by her sister, Sheran Stuckey (George); brothers Jim (Melody) Ewing and Barry Ewing, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Tom and Dorothy Ewing and son-in-law Lorry Simms. A Celebration of Linda’s Life will be held at 1:00pm, on Saturday, October 27, 2018, at the LETHBRIDGE COUNTRY CLUB, 101 Country Club Road South, Lethbridge. For those who wish, memorial donations in Linda’s name may be made to a charity of your choosing.

BECKEL,

Beckel, William Edwin, B.A., M.S., Ph.D. – Died peacefully, at home at Maison Senior Living in West Vancouver, BC., October 15, 2018 at the age of 92. William lived a long, adventure-filled life. His journey as life-long learner, scientist, educator, leader, husband, father and grandfather influenced those who came to know him for his loving, generous nature, his profound curiosity and his wit. Pre-deceased by his brothers John and Robert, he is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dorothy, his son John (and his daughter-in-law Carol and grand daughter Molly) and three daughters: Margaret (son-in-law Stan), Julia and Millie. William, a.k.a., Bill, was born April 11, 1926 in Kingston, Ontario. He was the son of Elmer Ernest Beckel of Oshawa, Ontario and Beatrice Mary (Driver) Beckel of Kingston, Ontario. His early years were spent in Branford, Ontario, where his father owned a Chevrolet Oldsmobile dealership. With the Great Depression of the 1930s, people stopped buying cars. William’s father paid all his debts and the family moved back to Kingston, his father finding work as Quartermaster at Collins Bay Institution “Preferred Class Penitentiary”. His mother, Beatrice, earned extra money in the summers for the family by operating a tea room from their home in Collins Bay with Bill and his brother Rob acting as servers. William’s education was extensive. He began his education at Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute. From there, he attended Queen’s University, graduating in 1949 with a B.A. He gained his master’s degree at the State University of Iowa in 1953. Two years later, he received his PH.D from Cornell University. William was a Research Scientist for the Defence Research Board, Ottawa and Department National Defence in Fort Churchill, Manitoba, from 1948-1955. It was here that he met his life partner and scientist, Dorothy. He then worked at the Canadian Department of Agriculture before becoming Assistant, then Associate, Professor at the University of Toronto from 1956-64. He was Full Professor and Dean at Scarborough College at the U of T from 1964-68, then Vice-President, University of Lethbridge, in Alberta, from 1968-72 and President, University of Lethbridge from 1972-79. William finished his career as President of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario from 1979-89. From there, he and his wife, Dorothy, retired in Vancouver B.C. Along the way Bill was a member of numerous scientific, professional and education societies and the author of over forty scientific and educational publications in juried national and international journals. Dr. Beckel was a zoologist and an early proponent of the use of television as a teaching medium. In 1964 he became the first dean of the University of Toronto-affiliated Scarborough College, which led an experiment in teaching half the courses using TV-only lectures. At the University of Lethbridge as an approachable and interested President, he was often seen chatting with students in the concourse. There he oversaw the construction of the new campus and the implementation of Management Arts, Native American Studies, and the expanded Cooperative Education program. Under Dean Russell Leskiw, the Education program became one of the best in Canada. A highlight during Dr. Beckel’s presidency was the provincial government’s approval of the Centre for the Arts, a building that allowed for the creation of the U of L’s art collection. Like many Ontario universities at the time, Carleton was in financial trouble when Dr. Beckel took the helm in 1979. That year it was running a $1.5-million deficit. He oversaw several controversial faculty buyouts, and in 1980, the school had to dip into academic scholarship funds to help cover its debts. Dr. Beckel’s efforts during the 1980’s eventually pulled Carleton out of the red and into a building period that resulted in a new student residence, a new library, a Life Sciences Research Building, an Art Gallery, a Social Sciences Research Building, a Day Care Centre and the beginning of a new engineering complex. Unlike Carleton’s rival universities, most of whom were raising admissions standards to compete for better students, Dr. Beckel decided to keep Carleton open to high-school graduates with averages as low as 60 per cent on the premise that “every student should have the right to fail”. The benefit of this philosophy was that first year enrolment increased bringing with it increased tuition revenue that more than offset the impact of a lower retention rate. This egalitarian philosophy combined with tough financial controls resulted in a strong financial position for the university and made it a “rare chance” university. For many students, Carleton offered a rare chance at a university education. On July 1, 1989, the same year he received an honorary degree of Legum Doctoris from Carleton, Dr. Beckel was succeeded as president by Robin Hugh Farquhar. Previously that same year Dr. Beckel received an Honorary Degree from Ottawa University. In 1995 Dr. Beckel was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Lethbridge. William enthusiastically enjoyed his family, his friends, cooking, wine, cheese, music, hunting, and skiing. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Whistler Ski Patrol. Email wbpublicrelations@vailresorts.com. Indicate in the subject: “Make a Donation to the Ski Patrol”. They will respond with details. Celebration of life will be held in North Vancouver on November 24th, 2018. Time and Location to be announced.

ENANDER

She is the loving mother of Kristin & Jerrad Shell, and Nana to their two sons, Ian and Kevin.

She was predeceased by her husband Jon, son Michael and parents Joyce and Jim Berry.

Debbie was born in Lethbridge and spent her life here. In the early days, she worked at the Campbell Clinic and Sears in Lethbridge before beginning her 31 year career as an audio technician for Alberta Health Services.

Debbie was the most generous and compassionate person you could imagine. She showed a genuine kindness to anyone that had the pleasure to know or talk to her. She was someone that would listen intently and try to help without any judgment or focus on herself. Debbie had a servant’s heart and this was especially evident at any event she was involved with. Regardless of the circumstance, there was no way that under her watch, someone would not be taken care of or fully fed.

She loved working with children at AHS and was always diligent to make sure she did not run out of suckers to give away. She would frequently talk about the cute babies she saw, especially twins. One of her greatest joys at work patiently waited for, was to do a hearing test on her own twin grandboys Ian & Kevin.

Once her daughter’s twins arrived, Nana Debbie was in her element. She would drop everything to lend a quick hand or take a full shift with the kids so mom and dad could get a few hours of sleep. She loved blessing the boys, they are stocked up on toys for the next several years!

She enjoyed cooking and spending time with family above all else. Her recipe collection is second to none and each one is carefully adjusted with her personal touch. Double the sauce anyone?

Debbie was a very important part of her family’s life and she will be dearly missed, especially by those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with her.

A Celebration of Debbie’s Life will be held at THIRD DAY CHURCH, 90 – 550 Wt Hill Blvd. South, Lethbridge, AB, on Monday, October 29, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. with Pastor Dick Deweert officiating.

RUSSELL

CHARLOTTE IRENE RUSSELL, beloved wife of Fergus Russell, of Coaldale, passed away peacefully and with family at her side at the Sunny South Lodge, on Monday, October 22, 2018 at the age of 82 years.

Besides her husband Fergus, Charlotte is survived by her children: Duncan (Loretta) Russell of Edmonton, Heather Russell (Brad Gustafson) of Chestermere and Ian (Tanya) Russell of Skiff as well as three grandchildren, Kennidy Anderson, Kourt Russell and Ty Russell. She is also survived by her sister Sharon Karp of Courtney, B.C. and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her father George Gottleb Karp, mother Elise Katherine Karp and brother Walter Karp.

Charlotte was born in Leader, Saskatchewan in 1936. In 1937, the Karp family moved to Alberta. They resided in the Crowsnest Pass area, finally settling in Cardston, Alberta where Charlotte graduated from high school. She was then employed by the local school division. After the passing of her father in 1957, the Karp family moved to Lethbridge where Charlotte worked as a receptionist and book keeper at Smith Motors. It was during this time that she met Fergus Russell. The couple was married in 1962. They made their home and raised their family in Skiff, Alberta until retiring to Coaldale in 2007.

Charlotte was always loving and kind. She never uttered a negative word about anything or anyone. All were welcome around the kitchen dining table- family, friends and neighbours, as well as anyone hired to work on the farm. Charlotte was an excellent cook, always concerned with serving all dishes piping hot. Her meals were often accompanied by her delicious homemade bread or buns. If you entered her kitchen as a guest, you left feeling like family.

Charlotte was a hardworking farm wife. Along with raising three children, she always grew a large garden. She spent long days in her kitchen, canning and processing her harvest so it could be enjoyed through the winter months. Despite being raised in the city, Charlotte embraced the rural life and even learned how to drive the combine. She proved to be a very capable harvest hand. A favourite family story illustrates her ingenuity as one year she repaired a leaking combine hopper with her chewing gum. Charlotte kept laying hens and supplied eggs to many other families. She was also of service to her community as a long-standing member of the Skiff Ladies Variety Club.

Life on the farm wasn’t all hard work. Charlotte enjoyed old-time music and dancing. She and Fergus belonged to the Pemmican Club for many years, always attending the New Year’s Eve Ball. Potluck suppers, picnics and other community events were also enjoyed.

Later on, Charlotte took up other hobbies such as knitting, crocheting and quilting. Many family members and friends have afghans or quilts lovingly made by Charlotte. Also, there was usually a crossword puzzle underway on the kitchen counter.

There are so many lives she touched in a positive way. So many memories that bring a smile and show the wonderful person that she was. So many stories about how she made a difference or made someone’s day. So many hearts that are feeling sadness because she was here- because she loved. Alzheimer’s took you from us too soon, but you will be with us always.

A Private Family service will be held.

In memory of Charlotte, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society, #40, 1202 – 2 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 0E3.

Robert Spenceley

1966 – 2018

In the evening hours of Tuesday, October 23, 2018 a much-loved son and brother passed away suddenly in Victoria BC. Rob Spenceley, the son of Jim and Lynda Spenceley of Lethbridge, moved here with his parents and older brother Bill in 1973. He attended Lakeview Elementary, Gilbert Paterson Junior High, and graduated from the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute in 1984. Rob’s teachers were always finding nice ways to explain that Rob’s natural energy was sometimes “disruptive” in class! The fact is, for his all of his 52 years he was known for his quick wit, his ready laugh and his generous heart. He eventually studied at George Brown College in Ontario and became a refrigeration and heating technician, and this was his career up until the time he passed away. Family meant a lot to Rob, and he was forever grateful to his extended family in Alliston, Ontario–especially Aunt Trudy and Uncle Jack Solomon who helped him out so much when he apprenticed for his trade in his cousin Vern Solomon’s Environmental Systems Corporation. Rob also looked up to his big brother Bill, who fondly referred to his little brother as “Schnurf”. The last time the brothers spent together was a happy time in Rob’s favorite place, out on the ocean fishing. In fact, Rob was happiest out on the water, smiling into the wind piloting his beloved boat. Along with his love for hunting and camping, Rob was also an accomplished cook, and all of us will miss his laugh in the kitchen on Christmas Eve, helping Lynda with the schnitzel. Joining Jim, Lynda and Bill in a loving good-bye are his sister Susan Langdon, his sister-in law Shannon Spenceley, cousins Vern Solomon, Susan Kenney (Solomon), nieces Alexandra Cattoni and Burgess Langdon, nephews Eric Cattoni, Ted Spenceley and Spencer Langdon, and his uncle Frank Kyselka and family. A private family service will be held at a later date. For those who wish to donate flowers, please consider donating to the McKillop United Church “Building Fund” 2329 15th Ave S, Lethbridge AB T1K 0X5 or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada Box 2211, Lethbridge AB T1J 4K7.

Viktor V. Titov

1946 – 2018

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Viktor Titov, beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He leaves behind Valentina, his wife of fifty-one years, his daughters, Olga Kovalchuk, and Lyubov Titova, his sons-in-law, Igor Kovalchuk, and Artur Teymurazyan, his grandchildren, Anna, Alexander (Sasha), and Gregory, and his brother, Vladimir. He was predeceased by his parents, Viktor and Lyudmila, and his brother George. He was born in 1946 in Ukraine. In 1967, he married his high school sweetheart, Valentina. Most of all in his life, he enjoyed spending time with his family. His daughters and grand-children will forever cherish their memories of him, especially all the games and long walks. Most of all, they will miss and remember his loving kindness and generosity. Always a scientist, he has inspired his children and grand-children to pursue learning, to always ask questions and never take anything for granted. Both his daughters and grand-daughter followed in his footsteps and became scientists. Viktor studied engineering and chemistry, receiving a Ph.D. in chemistry from the Moscow State University. Over his long and distinguished academic career, he has taught chemistry and biochemistry at three universities in Ukraine, having trained countless graduate and undergraduate students, many of whom stayed in touch with him over the years and will remember him fondly as a teacher and a mentor. In 2003, he moved to Canada. He and his wife made a new home in Alberta, which he came to love deeply. Here, he continued his career as a research scientist at the University of Lethbridge. He was the rock of the family, always there to help and support others, and will forever be in our hearts. Over the past fifteen months, he struggled with lung cancer. His family is enormously grateful to the medical teams at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, the Jack Ady Cancer Centre, and the Moffitt Cancer Centre, as well as the continuous support of his family doctor and the palliative care team. As we mourn, we ask that you kindly send donations in lieu of flowers to POET (Precision Oncology Experimental Therapeutics) program, either online at https://netcommunity.ucalgary.ca/ViktorTitov or through a cheque addressed to the University of or through a cheque addressed to the University of Calgary with the memo: POET, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary Alberta T2N 1N4.

The Funeral Service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church, 139 – 2 Avenue West, Bow Island on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com.
Fred will be lovingly remembered by his children Michelle “Mickey” (Kelly) Kimura of Coaldale and Shaun (Margaret) Mellen of Edmonton. Grandpa Fred will be forever missed by his grandchildren and great grandchildren Spencer (Sarah) White of Barnwell and their family Jackalyn and Freddy; Tyler (Mercedes) White of Taber and their family Gallifrey and Amelia; Ariel White of Summerland, British Columbia; Jessica (Russell) Bridgeman of Fort McMurray and their family Bryn, Bentley and Brooks; Amie (Brad) Dieno of Edmonton and their family Kylie and Kacey; Angie Mellen of Saskatoon; Christie, Brandon and Kaylie Mellen of Edmonton. Fred will also be remembered with love and fondness by his sister Helene Taylor of Calgary, brother-in-law Jack Mitchell of Orleans, Ontario and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by Dolly Mellen, the love of his life; his father Fred Rawleigh Mellen and mother Mildred Gladys Mellen; his mother-in-law Viola Annon and father-in-law Joe Annon; sisters-in-law Ila Terry, Audrey Mitchell, Joanne Havens and Gerry Annon; brothers-in-law William “Bill” Taylor, Bus Terry, Rollie Havens and Wayne Annon.
Fred was born in Redcliff, but spent the first fourteen years of his life in the Village of Tilley where his parents operated a grocery store, Mellen’s Grocery.
In 1946, Fred moved to Bow Island with his parents where again, they operated a grocery store for many years. During his teenage years, he got into all sorts of hijinks. He also concluded that high school did not agree with him much, and dropped out in Grade eleven. It was interfering with his ability to play and organize baseball and hockey games. It was during this time that he met and started dating Dolly Annon, the smartest decision he ever made.
Fred and Dolly were married in 1956 and remained happily married until Dolly passed away in 2011. They loved to dance especially to swing music from the Big Band era.
In 1950, Fred began working in Grantham with the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA), a job which he held for a couple of years. He did survey work as a rodman. He would later work for the PFRA while stationed in Vauxhall. In 1954, he was hired by Alberta Agriculture (Irrigation Division) and moved back to Bow Island. He initially worked as an instrument man and draftsman. From 1966 to 1968, Fred attended the Irrigation Technology program at Olds College. In 1975, Fred was promoted to the position of Technologist 4, the only person at this level in Alberta Agriculture. Fred continued to work with the Irrigation Division until his retirement in early 1988.
In the early 1980s, Fred successfully completed the Economic Development Programme at the University of Waterloo. Then, from 1988 to approximately 2001, Fred worked part time as the Economic Development Officer for the Town of Bow Island. He was heavily involved in encouraging businesses to come to Bow Island including the Alberta Bean Growers and Spitz. He also worked tirelessly on the committee which prepared the Town’s updated history book (A History of Bow Island and Area: Sage Brush to Pivots).
Fred loved Bow Island and gave countless hours of his time to the community in various capacities. He served a term as Mayor commencing in 1971; he served as a Councillor on three separate occasions (1965 – 66, 1971, and from 1976 to end of the term); he was a volunteer firefighter for seventeen years; he coached baseball and hockey for many years and served in various executive roles. In 1980, Fred and Dolly were recognized for twenty years of service to the Bow Island Minor Baseball and Hockey Association. He was on the Board of the Chamber of Commerce, and served on various other committees and organizations.
In 1988, Fred was recognized as Citizen of the Year by the Medicine Hat College. In 1992, Fred was awarded a Canada 125 medal.
In approximately 2012, Fred started to write ‘Down Memory Lane’ by “Old Fred Mellen”. These articles were published on a regular basis in the 40 Mile Commentator right up until the time of his passing.
Fred will be remembered by many as someone who got things done. He worked hard and expected everyone else to do the same. He had a true fighting spirit. But, he also loved to tell stories. He was an accomplished public speaker and could make people laugh. He enjoyed genealogy and desperately wanted to prove that he was Irish. And he loved all of those grandkids and great grandkids. May the memory of the “sucker tree” live on forever!
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Fred’s name may be made directly to the Bow Island Health Centre, Bag 3990, Bow Island, Alberta, T0K 0G0.
Special thanks to Dr. Woodruff who provided excellent care over the last number of years and Dr. Tawfeeq for his tremendous help in the past year. We also acknowledge the timely assistance of Gerald Mertz of RHS Medicine Hat over the last number of months. Finally, we truly appreciate the help of Bow Island Emergency Services and the Bow Island RCMP detachment on the evening of October 26, 2018.

He also had a love of guitars, playing and owning many over the years. He also built guitars and his family will always cherish his creations. He had a wicked sense of humor that left us laughing many, many times and he was an avid lover and owner of cats and dogs all of his life.

STANKO

ROSE STANKO (the Steak Lady) passed away on Sunday, October 28, 2018 at St. Therese Villa in Lethbridge, 16 days before her 90th birthday.

Mom was born in Raca, Czechoslovakia on November 13, 1928 to Paul and Agnes Trncik. She immigrated to Canada with her family in 1938 and settled in Onoway, Alberta where they began to farm. Life was very tough for them, clearing the land and enduring the harsh winters. A few years later, the family moved south to the Barrhill area near Picture Butte. Some of Mom’s jobs in Lethbridge included being a top egg grader and later working at the El Rancho Hotel as the head girl in the banquet rooms. She married Andy Stanko in 1948 and they lived at the Stanko family farm near Readymade. In 1960, they bought their own farm in Lomond where Dad did the farming and Mom took care of the cattle. In 1969, along with the farming, they also started to manage the Shaughnessy Hotel for the estate of Grandpa Stanko. Dad’s sudden passing in 1973 changed Mom’s life forever. Rick came back to run the farm which allowed Mom to continue to run the hotel, which she purchased in 1975. Being a people person, the hotel was very good for her especially after Dad’s passing. She became famous for her pan-fried steaks and catered many Christmas parties for businesses.

We were always amazed at who we would find sitting at her kitchen table talking to her and getting advice; we’re thinking the City of Lethbridge may have even benefitted from one of these sessions. Mom became quite the community person and believed in giving the people what they want. Mom started having community summer sports days at the hotel with pig wrestling, chariot races and a horseshoe tournament. Mom sold the hotel in 1996 and retired to Lethbridge, but retirement for her meant continuing to manage her many rental properties in Shaughnessy and Picture Butte. She had loved her cattle on the farm and every calving season she would remind us of what to do and look for.

Rose is survived by her two sons and their families: Rick & Cindy and their three daughters, Jennifer (Kent) Halluk and their children, Kale & Khloe; Kim (Tony) Ankermann and their children, Hudson & Nash; and Chris (Dwayne Harrison); Doug & Mary Anne and their three daughters, April (Bruce) Thomi and their children, Anita, Vince & Tess; Lindsay (Chad) Halyk; and Heather.

She was predeceased by her husband Andy in 1973, an infant son Jerry and son Wesley in 2011.

Special thanks are given to the staff of Black Rock Terrace, St. Therese Villa and first responders, especially Jack Peacock, who were always great to Mom.

A Prayer Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 7:00 P.M. with Deacon Ray & Ellen Wagner officiating.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at ST. CATHERINE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 762 Crescent Avenue, Picture Butte, AB on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Ian Gagne, celebrant.

PETERSEN

MARY ETHEL PETERSEN, beloved wife of the late Norman Charles “Bud” Petersen, of Lethbridge, AB, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 26, 2018 at the age of 95 years.

She is survived by sons Wayne (Patricia) Petersen of Lethbridge, Rand (Michelle) Petersen of Edmonton, and Lonny (Dennice) Petersen of Fort Saskatchewan; grandchildren Kristen Moreau and Richard (Carmen) of Fort Saskatchewan, Scott (Amelia) of Lethbridge and Ian (Michelle) of Calgary; great-grandchildren Sophia, Ella, Isla, and Emma of Fort Saskatchewan and Evan and Claire of Calgary; sister Frances Homulos (Ron) of Edmonton, and brother George Kolibar of Lethbridge, as well as many nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by her parents John Sr. and Anna Kolibar, her brother John Kolibar Jr, sisters Annie Labas, Margaret Pennie, and Helen Kolibar, and brothers-in-law.

Born in Mislava, Czechoslovakia on August 2, 1923, Mom immigrated to Canada in 1929 with her mother and four siblings to join father John in Lestock, Saskatchewan. Hard times followed with all family members pitching in with farm work and family care. Mom and sister Margaret moved to Lethbridge in 1943 and found work at the Café in the Greyhound Bus Depot. There she met a dashing young member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Mom and Dad were married in November of 1945 and moved to the Petersen family farm in 1946 when Dad was released from military duties. Wayne, Rand and Lonny came along in the early 50’s. Mom worked hard as a farm wife and mother looking after her “boys”. She was active in the Wrentham United Church as a regular attendee, volunteer, and choir member. Schooling requirements convinced Mom and Dad to move to Lethbridge in 1965. Mom carried on her church affiliations with McKillop United. The challenges of farming from Lethbridge for ten years resulted in sale of the farm in 1974. Dad fell ill in the spring of 1975 but that presented an opportunity for Mom and Dad to become snowbirds to Mesa, Arizona for the next 20 years. Dad’s health issues ended the annual Mesa pilgrimage and Mom and Dad remained in the same house as they had purchased in 1964 until a move to the Good Samaritan’s Park Meadows Village occurred in 2007. They both blossomed there as care issues were handled by others. Dad passed in 2008 and Mom moved to the Cottages at the Good Samaritan’s facility when her own health issues challenged her independence. She enjoyed sing-songs, card bingo, and day trips for shopping and luncheons during her time at Park Meadows.

The family would like to extend a very sincere thank you to the management and staff at Good Samaritan’s Park Meadows Village and Dr. R. Strank for the excellent care provided to Mom.

A Celebration of Life will be held at MCKILLOP UNITED CHURCH, 2329 – 15 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. with Reverend Terry Shillington officiating.

In lieu of flowers and in memory of Mary, donations can be made to Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village, 1511-15 Avenue N, Lethbridge, AB, T1H 1W2.

SANDILANDS

1943-2018

MARK LAWSON SANDILANDS died peacefully, at the age of 75 years, on August 20, 2018 at the Coaldale Health Centre in the presence of his wife and partner Leona Jacobs; son Doug Sandilands (Jenn Tackaberry); daughter Alison Sandilands (Richard Quantz); and sister Joan Sandilands.

Mark was born in Edmonton, Alberta on April 8, 1943 to Donald and Margaret Sandilands, the second of two children. He attended the University of Alberta (Edmonton) where he completed post-secondary studies in Psychology, culminating in his PhD. He joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Lethbridge as an Assistant Professor in 1968 and enjoyed 32 years of teaching, research, and service before retiring in 2000.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the

affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in

others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life breathed easier because you lived.

This is to have succeeded.”

Attributed to Bessie Anderson Stanley (1879-1952)

This quote, found amongst Mark’s papers, summarized his philosophy of life and his commitment to issues of social justice. Mark was nothing if not an engaged citizen.

Mark’s specific field of interest was social psychology with a focus on personality, community, and environmental psychology. Through collaborative research and community service, he explored through publication and presentations, various corners of inquiry including such topics as social behaviour, gender, family violence, intergroup and cross-cultural relations, attitudes to language, psychology of patriotism and nationalism, and the psychologies of sport and of health.

Mark loved to be engaged with his knowledge. When asked what he was proudest of, his immediate response was the impact he felt he had on the students he had interacted with over his years at the University. He was also happy that he could apply his knowledge to real-life issues through active leadership and involvement with different community organizations: The Committee for an Independent Canada, Lethbridge Chapter; The Centre for Personal and Community Development (now Lethbridge Family Services); the Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect; Alberta Mental Health, Victims and Families Subcommittee; Alberta Community Corrections (where he was a co-facilitator of educational groups for abusive men); and the City of Lethbridge’s Domestic Violence Action Team.

Mark was always active within the university environment, serving on various university committees and in various capacities on behalf of the University. In addition, he served the University of Lethbridge Faculty Association in various roles including vice-president, president, chair and chief negotiator for economic benefits, chair and chief negotiator for academic welfare, and chair for external relations. At the provincial and national levels, he served as president of the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations and as speaker of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), Collective Bargaining Co-operative and of CAUT Council. Professionally, Mark served in various capacities within the Canadian Psychological Association, especially the section on Environmental Psychology, as well as on the Alberta Foundation for Nursing Research, Scientific Review Committee.

Upon retirement from the University in 2000, Mark took his political engagement to a new level when he ran for election to the 2001 Chinook Health Region Board. He subsequently served as the NDP candidate in Lethbridge West for the 2001 and 2004 provincial elections and as the NDP candidate in the Lethbridge riding for the 2008 and 2011 federal elections. While not winning in any of these elections, each attempt provided Mark with the opportunity to offer an informed and reasoned perspective on matters be they related to education, health care, environment, equity, justice, and any other issue that was top of mind at the time. He was described by others within the NDP as “a tireless mainstay and resource for local NDP members” and that through his letters to the Lethbridge Herald, he refused “to let others misrepresent the values of the progressive left or the policies of the NDP.”

Mark’s life was not all social activism. He enjoyed skiing, skating, wind surfing, dragon boating, and, most importantly, swimming which he started doing as a child; continued doing into adulthood as a coach, as an organizer, and as a competitive swimmer; and shared with Leona. Together, he and Leona competed in swim meets; travelled across Canada as well as to points in the USA, Japan, Europe, and Cuba; and finally built their cabin at Beaver Mines. The life he shared with Leona was full of good times, laughter, and love. He is missed.

Many thanks to Dr. Steeves as well as the doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals associated with the Jack Ady Cancer Clinic, the Palliative Care Team, St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit, and the MAiD program. You all did your best by Mark.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 at 5:30 P.M. at the GALT MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES VIEWING GALLERY, 502 – 1 Street South, Lethbridge, Alberta.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Mark by donating to the Alberta NDP (https://www.albertandp.ca/) or the Federal NDP (https://www.ndp.ca/) or by making a contribution to Dying with Dignity Canada (https://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/).

FITZNER

GARTH NICHOLAS

HOLLINGSWORTH FITZNER

June 5, 1964 – October 27, 2018

Cardston, Alberta

It is with sadness that we announce the return of Garth Fitzner to his heavenly home on October 27th, after a prolonged struggle with cancer.

Garth will be very missed. He leaves behind his wife Joanne Fitzner (nee Robinson) and their little girl Rebekah, and his four grown children Justin, Sam, Amanda, and Victoria.

He is survived by his 6 siblings, Mike, Chris, Sally, Jeff, Tim, and Kurt, and his mother Elayne. He is predeceased by his father Reinholt.

Garth loved to dream up big ideas, and enthusiastically shared his passion for his projects with those around him. He spent his youth looking up at the stars and nurtured his fascination of space in his children. Garth was involved in scouting for 30+ years as a youth, a leader and a trainer. He received many awards, but he would have said his best accomplishments were acting as a District Commissioner for Beaver Hills and building the youth leadership courses that were beloved in the Northern Lights Council. Through these events alone, he changed the lives of hundreds of youth and leaders. He always looked for ways to reach out to others. Even as he battled with illness, he continued to reach out to youth and leaders within the Baden Powell Service Association, by working on their social media sites and designing policy.

Garth was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a strong testimony of the gospel, and his life was a powerful example of his faith in its teachings. He was a dedicated family history researcher, eager to help others unearth their own genealogy. His efforts gave many of those already passed on the opportunity to accept sacred covenants done on their behalf.

Garth was also probably the best laser tag player you’ve ever seen.

Above all, he was an incredible husband and father. Garth achieved many things in the short time he had, but his family was his number one passion. He was dedicated to his children and his wife. It was his greatest joy to learn he would become a father again in his later life.

After Garth’s wishes, there will be a private family ceremony to celebrate his life at a later date.

PERIN-SEREDIAK, Anne

“Baba”

It is with profound sadness that we have had to say goodbye to our “Baba.” She has finally found peace. She passed away at St. Joseph’s Auxiliary Hospital in Edmonton on October 27, 2018.

Mom’s life journey began July 21, 1933. She was born in Filipovac, Croatia and lived eleven happy carefree years with her parents Magdelena and Alexander Feltrini, younger brother Johnny and older sister Carolina.

World War Two found them escaping the then Yugoslavia to a new life in Canada, working in the sugar beet fields at Nobleford, Alberta. The five years spent in refugee camps robbed her of childhood joys and opportunity for formal education.

Mom met a young Croatian farmer, George Perin, and the two married in 1952. To this marriage were born three daughters: Sylvia, Linda and Diane. In this small community of Barnwell and Taber, she made many friends, many of whom are still dear to her today. She and George made a home and livelihood on their modest farm. Mom has always felt herself a “farmer” and enjoyed farm tasks and her gardens.

After many months of kidney disease, George required dialysis, available then only in Edmonton at the University Hospital. Thus, in the spring of 1965, the family moved to Edmonton. George received dialysis for four years, surviving four more years after a kidney transplant, and passed away in February 1973.

Mom found employment at the Charles Camsell Hospital in the housekeeping, kitchen and laundry departments. She always recognized that the most valuable cultural currency she had not had been able to access was education. Her fulfillment came in seeing all three daughters and all six grandchildren convocate from university in diverse professions.

After George passed away, Mom found another companion in widower Steve Serediak. They married in August 1982. They both continued to work at the Charles Camsell Hospital and enjoyed their new home in St. Albert. After they both retired, they made their home at Brookside Estates. While Steve became the unofficial “fix it” man in the estates, Mom became a core part of the social and activity life. Steve succumbed to his heart and asthma conditions in June 2012.

When George passed away, the girls were 20, 19 and 15 years old and so Mom was not alone at home. When Steve died, she found herself living in a “too big” house. Her health too had become compromised, and so she moved to her condominium at Devonshire in May 2017. New health issues emerged with the fatal diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in July 2018.

Living and working “on the farm” was one of her greatest recollections, and she was able to have one last week at Sylvia and Derek’s farm before being admitted into palliative care at St. Joseph’s Hospital in August 2018. There, she truly received compassionate care in the final days of her life journey.

Fiercely independent, Mom’s wishes for no funeral were respectfully followed. Her urn will be interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, next to George.

The Feltrini family history now resides with the only surviving member, Mom’s sister Carolina Jurcevic. Left with the abundance of love Mom had for family are Sylvia and Derek Burden and their sons Shane and Anthony; Linda and Ian Fraser and their daughters Carol-Anne and Katherine; and Diane and Ted Szumlas and their daughters Georgina and Alexandra.

A special place in her heart was for her three great grand-daughters – Willa, Anna and Evie.

Zbogom Baba. Go with God.

Robert Spenceley

1966 – 2018

In the evening hours of Tuesday, October 23, 2018 a much-loved son and brother passed away suddenly in Victoria BC. Rob Spenceley, the son of Jim and Lynda Spenceley of Lethbridge, moved here with his parents and older brother Bill in 1973. He attended Lakeview Elementary, Gilbert Paterson Junior High, and graduated from the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute in 1984. Rob’s teachers were always finding nice ways to explain that Rob’s natural energy was sometimes “disruptive” in class! The fact is, for all of his 52 years he was known for his quick wit, his ready laugh and his generous heart. He eventually studied at George Brown College in Ontario and became a refrigeration and heating technician, and this was his career up until the time he passed away. Family meant a lot to Rob, and he was forever grateful to his extended family in Alliston, Ontario–especially Aunt Trudy and Uncle Jack Solomon who helped him out so much when he apprenticed for his trade in his cousin Vern Solomon’s Environmental Systems Corporation. Rob also looked up to his big brother Bill, who fondly referred to his little brother as “Schnurf”. The last time the brothers spent together was a happy time in Rob’s favorite place, out on the ocean fishing. In fact, Rob was happiest out on the water, smiling into the wind piloting his beloved boat. Along with his love for hunting and camping, Rob was also an accomplished cook, and all of us will miss his laugh in the kitchen on Christmas Eve, helping Lynda with the schnitzel. Joining Jim, Lynda and Bill in a loving good-bye are his sister Susan Langdon, his sister-in law Shannon Spenceley, cousins Vern Solomon, Susan Kenney (Solomon), nieces Alexandra Cattoni and Burgess Langdon, nephews Eric Cattoni, Ted Spenceley and Spencer Langdon, and his uncle Frank Kyselka and family. A private family service will be held at a later date. Please Note: Rob’s brother (Bill) will be taking Rob’s urn on a road trip to meet up with friends/colleagues to share a beer and some stories in your city (TBA). Please email your interest in joining him (robsroadtrip2018@gmail.com) to celebrate Rob’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the McKillop United Church “Building Fund” 2329 15th Ave S, Lethbridge AB T1K 0X5 or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada Box 2211, Lethbridge AB T1J 4K7.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the

affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in

others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life breathed easier because you lived.

This is to have succeeded.”

Attributed to Bessie Anderson Stanley (1879-1952)

This quote, found amongst Mark’s papers, summarized his philosophy of life and his commitment to issues of social justice. Mark was nothing if not an engaged citizen.
