It is with deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother Beverley Eileen Billett on Wednesday July 31, 2024. Bev was born in Moose Jaw, the eldest daughter of Fen and Irma Cline. Her father was an Elevator Agent and thus a number of moves to small towns in Saskatchewan in those early years helped develop Bev's resilience, strength of character and strong sense of family. Bev met her loving husband Don at the age of 15, marrying in 1951. During their 73 years together they nurtured a loving environment, where all were welcome and accepted with open arms. Their home in the Caswell Hill district of Saskatoon soon became the gathering place for the neighbourhood children. Never judging, Bev accepted each person just as they were. Her loving heart made a positive impact on many. In 1973 Bev and Don moved to the High Park neighbourhood in Edmonton. Her life was marked by a quiet, steadfast dedication to Tai Chi and as a "Steady as You Go" Falls Prevention advocate. She was also a voracious reader, and a lover of crosswords and puzzles. She constantly had a knitting or crochet project on the go, yet her special power was gracefully nurturing others, her family and beyond. The extent and diversity of her family brought her much joy. She was a gentle, humble mentor, and role model. She had a rare combination of deep wisdom and immense compassion that she so willingly shared, often in her much-enjoyed telephone chats. She is survived by husband Don, her children, daughter Margie, (Ritchie Dye) Granddaughter Erin (Greg Mitchell) great-grandchildren William and Julia and Grandson Ian Smith-Jones; son Murray, Grandson Cory Klath (Sherri Pooyak) and son Garry, Grandson Kerry; and daughter-in-law Linda, Grandson Kenneth. She was predeceased by her son Barry Billett and her grandson Kirk Klath. Bev's life was also blessed with many special family members: Beverley Sohnle (Ron), Steven, Dean and Laura, Michel Hinz and Blair Hunter, and the little Great-Grandchildren who loved Grandma B: Bryn, Callie, Leah, River, Inara. A service to honour and celebrate Beverley's life will be held on August 18, with details to be announced. Bev leaves behind a legacy of inclusion, love, strength of character and deep compassion. We will miss you Mom.

Joan was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Daniel; her parents, William and Anne Woywitka; and brother, Allan. Joan is survived by her sister, Sylvia.Joan was born on June 29, 1940 in Waugh, Alberta. Following her graduation from the faculty of education at the University of Alberta, Joan had an enjoyable career as an elementary school teacher. In her later years Joan taught at Malcolm Tweddle where she was able to impress upon her students her kind, loving and generous nature. Even years into retirement, former students would recognize her and express gratitude for their memories with her. Upon retirement, she continued to show her caring and fun-loving nature. For several years, she was the primary caregiver for her mother while also spending time with friends and family. She enjoyed traveling for many birding excursions with Dan across North America, going on numerous mini-adventures. She loved spending time at the house in which she and Dan had lived for over four decades in south Edmonton tending the garden and socializing with everyone in the neighbourhood.Just like her father before her, Joan was happiest simply meeting with people and was genuinely interested in their lives so much so that even decades later she could recall even the tiniest of details concerning their lives. In general, this extraordinary interest extended out to the lives of all people. As a wife, mother, grandmother and caregiver, Joan will be remembered by all. Her kindness, generosity and warmth will extend long after her passing in the memories of all those she knew. She will be missed dearly.

Retired federal politician and Member of Parliament for St. Albert Constituency, John Glass Williams FCGA passed in to the Eternal Kingdom of Our Almighty Father, surrounded by his loving family and faithful Clergy on Monday, July 15, 2024 at the age of 77. He leaves behind his beloved wife Dr. Christine Botchway of 18 years, his three children and four grandchildren*: Miss Vienna Williams, Mr. James Allan Williams (Terri) Dashel* and Mr. John Munro Williams (Natalie) Sullivan*, Lucian*, John Shephard "Sheppie" Williams*. He will also be sorely missed by his elder siblings Lesley Smith, Banchory Scotland, Neil Williams (Jan) Ballater Scotland, Dr Dorothy Middleton (Stuart) Saskatoon along with many nieces and nephews (Irene, Jane, Brian, Neil, Ian, Wendy, Carol), his sisters-in-law Suzanne Botchway (Conrad), Shona Jummun, Morag Munro their families, innumerable friends, mentees, and those whose lives he touched and inspired in an authentic unforgettable way as he rendered outstanding, courageous selfless service, fearlessly demanding accountability, truth and justice, for both his faith in his Lord Jesus Christ and his beloved country Canada. He was predeceased by his mother and father Mrs. Emily Glass and John Riach Williams of Aboyne /Ballater area Scotland and his beloved wife of 23 years Carol Williams who was originally from Perth Scotland. He was also predeceased by his brothers-in-law Ian Smith, Harry Jummun and David Botchway. John Glass Williams was first and foremost a humble country boy with a dry but wicked sense of humor, who never forgot his childhood Scottish roots in Aberdeenshire bordering on the grounds of the famous Balmoral castle. Though his political work took him far and wide to dine in the presence of ambassadors, nobility and leaders of nations, he was never more content than when back in his rural Alberta puttering around his hobby farm with his beloved pet jersey cows Betsy and Daisy, and constructing the newest state of the art quarters for his chickens. This joy was rivaled only by gathering with dearly loved friends and family both in Alberta and Scotland. John was born into a farming family on a cold Scottish winter on December 31 in 1946. He grew up on the beautiful Scottish hills of Aboyne on a small working farm that he loved and on which, the life experience derived thereof, shaped his faith, political savvy, work ethic and forged his unique identity. He was educated at the rustic stone Glentanner School that stands to this day, where he excelled in physics and mathematics.. At a young age he left school and worked for the Clydesdale Bank both in Aberdeen and later on the Shetland Islands. Greatly influenced by his maternal Uncle Jim Glass who had been a manager at the Hudson's Bay Company, he moved to Canada in 1970, starting a career with the Royal Bank of Canada.. In 1971, He met his first beloved wife Carol Munro, whom he married in 1975 and with whom he had two children Allan and Munro. He worked as a property manager and later owned and managed his own accounting business Williams & Co Ltd in St. Albert before leaving the city, purchasing a farm and entering into politics. On October 25, 1993 he was elected as MP (Reform party led by Preston Manning) for St. Albert Constituency, whose borders included Spruce Grove, Stoney Plain Morinville, Sturgeon and Parkland Counties and Northern Edmonton. He began his 15-year service to Canada representing Alberta and the West. Like many of his Albertan colleagues he lived in Ottawa during the week and travelled back to Alberta each Thursday night to hear from and serve his constituents. On October 12, 1998 sadly, he lost his beloved wife Carol of 23 years to cancer. He continued to serve as chair of the Public Accounts committee, for Parliament of Canada's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (1997-2005) prior to and during the infamous sponsorship scandal and was known for his no-nonsense approach and distaste for waste and corruption. He also founded the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) and championed democracy and justice: his catch phrase being" no one voted for poverty". His work took him all over the world to liaise with politicians and seek to eradicate corruption. He was also author of the well known "waste report " which illustrated his dislike of waste of resources, extravagance or indeed partisan rhetoric. He formed strong lasting friendships and despite his strict work protocols he generously offered mentorship and support for those with whom he worked with a view to elevate them towards their goals. In 2006, he married his second beloved wife Dr. Christine Botchway of West African and Caribbean descent introduced to him by his dear friend the late Hon David Kilgour. They have one daughter Vienna 17 years old. He retired from federal politics in 2008 but continued to work on GOPAC as well as mentor other young upcoming politicians some of which are in federal politics today. He retired from GOPAC in 2013 and spent much of his time on a never-ending stream of projects either farm related or assisting neighbours and friends pursue justice. He was a member of the Rotary Club and in addition to many volunteer roles, formed strong friendships, resulting in what came to be known as the Friday Morning Boys Coffee in St. Albert. often hosted by his dear friend and mentor Charlie Schroeder. In 2018- 2024 despite his own failing health, he embarked upon his own final personal, and perhaps his most important battle, to stand up and proclaim truth to the Ecclesiastical powers that presently be, and to the political, internal erosion and watering down of the core teachings of our Christian faith to fit modern day culture. He boldly defended the truth of the simplicity, authenticity and power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Though standing with a relatively small faithful core, he courageously upheld and defended the core truths of the gospel with no concern of the cost to his person, :namely the power of repentance, the blood of The Lamb and the truth of resurrection of Christ. Though severely scapegoated and savagely penalized for his fearless defense of the gospel he boldly accepted all the repercussions for his defense of the core truth principles of the gospel and bearing no malice against the absolute rejection of his detractors and the defamation of his person he humbly acknowledged what he called his meagre contribution to The Kingdom and continued to trust in the mercy love grace and truth of Jesus Christ until his final breath. He was one of a kind. There never was, and never will be another John Glass Williams.Our hearts grieve with the physical loss of his presence but we are comforted with the truth that you John Glass Williams, spirit and soul dwell in the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and we will meet you again. Rest in peace with The One whom you followed, The One who died on the tree and whose blood sacrifice alone afforded you entry into His everlasting Kingdom. You have served well, your country and your God.Rest Well John Glass Williams in the Love of God through Jesus our Christ.Celebration of Life: August 10, 2024, 11:30 a.m. (Public Viewing 10:30 a.m.) Location West Meadows Baptist Church 9333 199 St T5T 6E8 Officiating Minister Rev Dr. Rodger McEachernLive streaming details at Glenwood Memorial (www.glenwoodmemorial.com)

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Fred Bartels, just shy of his 95th birthday. Fred was predeceased by his eldest son Ernest in 1998, and leaves behind his beloved wife Charlotte, children Jim, Karin (Randy) and Ron (Elaine), nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Fred was born July 19, 1929 in Hanover, Germany, growing up in difficult times during the World War. At the age of 15 he pursued an education in Diesel Engine Mechanics. By age 22, with new knowledge and determination, he embarked on a journey to Canada in 1951. Fred began his career working on the Trans Mountain Pipeline in B.C. He made frequent trips back to Germany to visit family and friends. During one of these visits, he met Charlotte, the love of his life. On May 5, 1954, Charlotte arrived in Halifax by ship, and was met by Fred who drove across Canada to greet her. They married that same day, starting a remarkable 70-year life together. Fred and Charlotte settled in Edmonton, purchasing a home, where they raised their four children. Fred's busy career as a Heavy Duty Mechanic in the oil and pipeline industry often took him away from home, but nevertheless he prioritized family time. The family enjoyed countless picnics, camping, and fishing trips throughout Alberta and B.C. The most memorable family adventure was for three long months in the summer of 1966, driving their 1965 Ford 'Woody' Country Squire Station Wagon across Canada to Halifax. Both the family and their car embarked on a ship voyage across the Atlantic to visit with family and explore Europe. From 1956 to 1975 Fred contributed to the construction of the Trans Canada Pipeline, stretching from Alberta to Montreal. In 1975, during the Alaska Pipeline project, he designed and built the world's largest ditch-digging machine, while working for Banister Pipelines. His ingenuity earned him three patents, and one of his machines was proudly displayed at the Calgary Oil Show in 1978. In retirement Fred and Charlotte became avid golfers, joining the Riverside Seniors Golf League. They traveled with friends throughout Alberta and B.C. golfing, camping and creating lasting memories. Fred's pride in his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was unwavering. He leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication and innovation. His work on Earth is done, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.Love always and forever. A Memorial Service will be held at Hainstock's Funeral Home, 9810 - 34 Ave, Edmonton, on Sunday July 21, 2024 at 2 p.m. followed by a luncheon and fellowship.

On June 24, 2024, Iris Mathers of St. Albert, Alberta, passed away at the age of 81. Iris, lovingly known as a devoted mother, sister, and friend, leaves behind a legacy of courage and joy. She was predeceased by her cherished son Michael, her parents Katherine and Michael, her brother Ron, and is survived by her adoring daughter Karena, her brother Larry (Geri), and her sister Delores.Born in Edmonton on July 6, 1942, Iris was a woman whose life was marked by unwavering strength and an infectious zest for life, despite the challenges she faced.From a young age, Iris confronted the trials of polio and later, post-polio syndrome. Yet, she never allowed her physical limitations to dampen her spirits or her love for life. Iris was the epitome of a sports enthusiast and she gladly shared her love of sports with her children. She was known as the ultimate sports mom, cheering on her children with fervor and pride. She truly loved watching all sports but nothing brought her greater joy than watching her son play hockey.When not engrossed in the thrill of sports, Iris could be found indulging in her other passions. She was often seen with a smile on her face, watching the antics of her two beloved cats, Niki and Calli, or enjoying a good movie, musical, concert, or a lively session of dinner theatre and bingo. These simple pleasures brought immense joy to Iris and those who had the privilege to join her.Iris's life was a testament to the power of kindness, laughter, and love. Her humour and warmth were a comfort to all who knew her, and her presence was a source of constant joy. As the well-known quote by Maya Angelou aptly describes, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Iris made everyone around her feel cherished and valued, and her memory will continue to inspire those she touched.We would like to thank the staff at Foyer Lacombe and Sturgeon Community Hospital for their kind attention to Mom in her final months.No formal funeral service will be held at Iris's request.Donations may be made in her memory to KidSport Edmonton or St. Albert Sturgeon Hospice Association.To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com.

Jennifer "Jennie" nee Ward, was born in Liverpool, England to Albert James "Tom" Ward and Winnifred "Wyn" on April 6, 1935. In 1940, her dad joined the RAF, with the understanding to keep the family together and for him to live in the base. Jennie and her mom would follow him to wherever he was posted. After eleven schools and completion of her education of being an SRN, although her family wanted her to attend medical school, she met the love of her life Thomas "Tom" Fairfax Osborn and married him. After their marriage, they set sail on the Empress of Britain to Canada in 1957. Tom had hoped to farm in Canada, but things did not turn out that way. However, Jennie was able to nurse in Stonewall, Manitoba and later up North in voluntary public health. Unfortunately, with no hospital nearby to upgrade in Pointe Du Bois, MB, Jennie began a 20- year run in banking, followed by a seven-year run at the Lethbridge College prior to retirement.Tom later became a National Rep for CUPE, so once more on the road for them all finishing up in Lethbridge, where they resided together for 38 years prior to Tom's death the day before his 80th birthday, and four months shy of their 60th wedding anniversary. Jennifer served as Chairman of Eastern Canada 4H Clubs in Manitoba, the Lethbridge Public Library Board, Chinook Region Library Board, and many other volunteer boards. In 1995, both Tom and Jennie retired and traveled as well as wintered in Arizona. Jennie following suit, passed peacefully, June 23, 2024, the day before their 68th Anniversary. Jennie leaves behind her daughters, Thorunn, Susan and Karen; grandsons: Kevin Richter, Vincent Richter, Kory Kublik and Desmond Osborn; her granddaughters: Julie Richter, Madisen Kublik and Megan Osborn; great-grandsons: Liam and Jace; and only great-granddaughter, Riley Kublik. Jennie will always be remembered for her kindness, small but feisty opinions of the world. Her family and friends will mourn her loss She is with Tom now and at peace. A celebration of life will be held with further details in the coming months. Jennie and her family are eternally grateful to the "Fab Four" for their kindness, dedication and compassion during her stay at the Regional Hospital and more importantly, as true friends throughout many years in Lethbridge.

Patty was born in 1962 in Edmonton and passed away suddenly on June 21, 2024 in Calgary from an aortic dissection.Patty was first and foremost a great mother to Nick (31) and Erin (28) and she loved them more than anything. Patty had the ability to enjoy the journey and appreciate the little things in life. A favorite piece of family lore is how she passed the time in our car rides to Canmore by creating the mythical "Paul and Mark Stories", two fictional young brothers who consistently got into problematic situations, always leading to hilarity. It was a unique way to transmit her humour, creativity, sense of adventure and love of language to her children.Patty embarked on a career as a tax lawyer after earning a law degree at the University of Toronto (Class of 1988). She practiced at Stikeman Elliott in Toronto, then at Bennet Jones and McLeod Dixon in Calgary. Her U of T classmates and fellow Stikeman's first-year lawyers had a special bond and Patty remained lifelong friends with many.Patty made all things food and drink a passion and a hobby for our family and it was a central part of all our lives and travels. The magic happened in her kitchens in Toronto, Calgary, Martha's Vineyard and Victoria where she cooked, entertained and held court. Our dinner parties in Toronto were legendary: we'd use every dish we owned and laugh that the best parties ended with guests sleeping over. Last summer Patty fulfilled a lifelong dream of going to cooking school, surviving a three-week sweatshop with her good friend Iain at Ferrandi in Paris. If Patty could have just one more day, it would be spent in her kitchen cooking with Nick, Marie (34) and Erin, her best girlfriends sitting around the island talking about each other's lives and Vincent pouring the red wine and playing music.Patty's book club celebrated its 29th anniversary and is a true sisterhood and community; members support each other and their families through thick and thin. Through fate, Patty spent her last evening with her 10 best bookies drinking wine and sharing. Patty cherished the friendship of these amazing women, as well as knowing the lives of their children and partners.Patty's Dad George, passed away when she was nine, leaving Joan (90) as a single mother who sacrificed everything for her children, setting an example that shaped Patty's life. Patty was lucky to have Joan's sister Claudia (84) as a second Mother figure. Patty especially remembered the generosity and shared experiences of their ski trips to Jasper – she thought Claudia and Glenn (84) "really knew how to live life". During her childhood Patty and her siblings, Bob (65) and Colleen (59) were able to freely roam the neighborhood with their friends. Grandparents, Nick and Rose, were a few doors down to shower them with love and treats.As Claudia was to her, Patty was a second mother figure to Colleen's children, Laura (24), John (23) and Adam (23), to her sister-in-law Leanne (64) and Bob's (71) children, Brendan (40), Rebecca(38), Joshua (32) and Amy (27). Patty's immediate family also includes her cousin Kevin's wife, Angie (51) and their children Sarah (22) and Riley (19), Vincent's brother, Jay (63), wife Shirley (65) and children. Brandon (34) and Derek (28), and Vincent's sisters Sandra (58) and Debra (52) and Debra's husband, Stephen (59).Patty was a lifelong learner and had many interests in addition to cooking and books. These included gardening, flowers, cycling, yoga, movies/tv, travelling, cats, sewing, grocery stores and markets, beer, wine and coffee, hardcopy newspapers and, studying French. She enjoyed watching sports: particularly tennis with John and Chrissie, cycling with Phil and Paul, and the Boston Bruins with Jack and BrickPatty was a friend and caregiver. She was dedicated to three of her best friends who passed away over her life: Jackie, Jane and Belinda. Patty contributed for 10+ years to helping the single mothers at Highbanks Society.Patty and Vincent Chahley (62) had a lifelong romance, were best friends and travelled the world together. Nick, Erin, and I will miss you every day of our lives.A very special thanks to the team that cared for and assisted Patty on her final day, including the RCMP Sergeant Daryl Smith, STARS Air Ambulance, Drs Lendrum, Bromley, Adams, Gelfand and their teams at Foothills Hospital, and Dr. Cain and the Helios Clinic. We are lucky to live in Alberta with such amazing care, people and community.In lieu of gifts we have set up a donation to STARS Air Ambulance in Patty's name. We know that Patty would also like it if anyone who is so inclined (and has not already done so) to sign their organ donor card.A church service for Patty will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, July 5 at St. Michaels, 800 – 85th Street SW Calgary. Those who cannot attend in person can join a live stream on the St. Michaels You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/StMichaelCatholicCommunityThere will also be a Celebration of Life for Patty the evening of July 5 at the Chahley family home, - if you wish to attend please email chahley@mac.com for details. She was very clear that she wanted more of a party than a wake, so come to celebrate a life well-lived.

b Montreal, June 19,1953 d Victoria, June 25, 2024Beloved wife of Stephen Slemon; stepmother to Allie Slemon (Andrea Eadie); grandmother to Arbor Eadie; sister to Nancy Wallace, Catherine Wallace, Laura Howcroft (Ian Howcroft); sister-in-law to Sally Thorne (Mary Adlersberg), Mark Slemon (Jennifer Day), Jane Slemon (Bob Ennenberg); aunt to Tanya, Bradley, Carly, Leah, Michael, Kathleen, Geoffrey, Douglas and Megan.She was a gardener, bird-watcher, lover of landscapes, and champion of all living things, including her beloved dogs Hamilton, Jessie, Picos, and Bodhi, and the cats she named after movie characters played by the actor Robert DeNiro.A popular, and enormously celebrated professor of English & Film Studies at the University of Alberta, Jo-Ann chaired her home Department during a time of intellectual reorientation, curriculum overhaul, and graduate program expansion. When the University's Woman Studies program fell under threat of cancellation, she took on the role of Chair, and then worked to transform the program into a full, independent Department. She edited the scholarly journal English Studies in Canada, in the process reshaping its look, its content, its professional impact, and its social relevance.Her scholarship, always feminist in approach, focused on early British modernism, and especially on women whose lives and works did not fit easily into accepted literary critical moulds. With Bridget Elliot she published a monograph on women writers and visual artists at the intersection of their art forms. Her work on the overlooked novelist and polemicist Edith Ellis, one of the founders of the Fellowship of the New Life in the 1880s, made an argument for a different way of writing the history of modernist socialism, feminism, and sexology. Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway accompanied her through most of her professional life, which resulted, among other achievements, in the publication of a new, scholarly edition of the novel, with Broadview Press, in 2012.From typing out the entire text of Mrs. Dalloway, word by word, for the new edition, Jo-Ann learned something about the interplay between literary imagination and memory, and wrote about it in the London Review of Books. Like Woolf, she could pelt with laughter – a skill she deployed during the Covid years by trolling the so-called Freedom Convoy protesters on Facebook and on TikTok. She was a master of dry humour, of pointed understatement, of the perfect, capturing phrase.Jo-Ann threw herself into life, and she crafted hers beautifully. She relished social engagement. She noticed people. She listened deeply, and sought to understand. When asked, she gave wise counsel. She overflowed with ideas, and shared them generously.One of those ideas resulted in the creation of a memoir-writing group, which included, among others, the late Margaret Ann Armour, Pat Clements, Isobel Grundy, Margaret Mackay, and Jeanne Perreault. From her writing for that group, Jo-Ann produced a book-length memoir, entitled A Life in Pieces. It will be published by Thistledown Press in August, 2024.We thank her care providers at BC Cancer, and at the Medicine Shoppe on Fort Street in Victoria, for their years of attention to Jo-Ann. We thank the many students who have carried her spirit forward in their own spectacular academic careers. We thank her many fast and enduring friends, to whom she brought her undivided attention, her loyalty, and her genius for nuance.Her green burial will take place at Royal Oak Burial Park in Victoria, followed by a small, informal gathering of local friends and neighbours at her home. Remembrances can be shared at https://www.mccallgardens.com.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Joseph "Joe" Peter Lukenchuk at age 97 on June 9, 2024, in Kelowna, BC. Left to grieve are his children Kerry (Harry) Tomyn and Maureen (John) Conlon; grandchildren Brittany and Jonathon (Asana); sister Elsie (Andre) Johnson; and numerous nieces and nephews. He now goes to join his beloved wife, Roseland, who passed away in November 2022. Joe passed on what would have been their 73rd wedding anniversary. Joe was born in Myrnam, Slawa District, Alberta, and was a man with a myriad of interests and passions. First and foremost was his immediate and extended family, cherishing every moment with them. After graduating from the University of Alberta Faculty of Dentistry in 1952, Joe passionately practised dentistry in Alberta and British Columbia for 56 years. In the later years of his practice, he dedicated his efforts to geriatric dentistry. Joe's professionalism, dedication, and excellence in dentistry was recognized by being given various dental profession acknowledgments, of which he was justly proud. Joe was known for his gentle manner, kindness, patience, sociability, and humour. He read extensively and enjoyed meaningful conversations. His love for singing, poetry, and music was matched by his enthusiasm for staying fit, being active in baseball, curling, cross-country skiing, bicycle riding, and jogging. In addition, Joe had a true green thumb, finding joy in gardening and cultivating beautiful flowers. Joe and Roseland moved from Edmonton to Kelowna in 1980, where Joe relished life in the Okanagan, but his heart remained tied to the prairies and Alberta. Joe's legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering dedication to his family, friends, and passions will be forever cherished by all who knew him.

A LONG LIFE, WELL- LIVEDIt is with sadness and heavy hearts, but with wonderful memories, that we announce that our loving and devoted mother, grandma and great-grandma passed on to Heaven on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at the age of 101 years, while in the loving arms of those she loved and those who loved her.Margaret Rosella Johnson (née Schmaus) was a kind, considerate, and compassionate woman who brought happiness and comfort to her family, friends and colleagues throughout her life. Her devotion to her family, as well as her love of life in so many ways, will be treasured by all those who knew her. She lived a life filled with patience, wisdom and understanding, with a strong faith in God, and was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.Marg was born in Kindersley, SK. She grew up in a happy family with five siblings and had many relatives and friends with which to enjoy life. After attending elementary school in Kindersley, Marg graduated from Kindersley High School in 1940. She worked on her family's farm in the Kindersley area, very much enjoying the country life. After high school, Marg graduated with a degree in Nursing from the Victoria Hospital Nurses College in Prince Albert. She began working in Eston, SK, then Brantford, ON, and eventually Saskatoon where she met and married her (late) husband, Lloyd Johnson, on September 23, 1950 – resulting in a 68 year-long romance and adventure.Marg stopped working when her first child came along and was a stay-at-home mom for many years. She eventually resumed working as a nurse in a number of sites in Regina, including Pioneer Village Nursing Home. Margaret was a devout Christian, whose faith was reflected in her many activities with Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Regina. She spent many long hours raising her three children, and was a deeply caring person. She loved to bake, sew, read, and keep scrapbooks and albums filled with a wide variety of memories including thousands of family photos. Marg had a green thumb and kept all her house plants and gardens flourishing. She would regularly volunteer for various charitable organizations such as the Salvation Army – and she also made time to become a certified Reflexologist. Marg took up golfing with her loving husband, and she enjoyed many journeys throughout Saskatchewan with camping and golfing being the main activities. After retirement, she and her husband spent many winters in Tucson, Arizona, visiting with her two daughters and their children – this was an abiding joy for her.She will be long remembered by her family and by those who knew her not only as a selfless and giving soul, but also for her strong yet loving character, her life of giving to many charitable organizations, her many personal accomplishments, and her infectious sense of humour. Marg was indeed a special woman whose generosity touched many others during her life. She was a loving and devoted mother whose family of three children absorbed much of her time and attention. Thank you so much mom and grandma for your passionate kindness and optimism with which you have taught us to live our lives... this has been your greatest gift to all of us."In body you are gone but in spirit you will remain with us forever while the seeds you planted shall never perish."Marg was predeceased by her parents Joseph William Schmaus and Emalie Rosella (née Nargang); younger brother Victor and sister-in-law Robina; younger brother Billy and sister-in-law Anita; younger sister Jean Kilgannon and brother-in-law Bill; and younger sister Vera and brother-in-law Bill Delainey.She will be dearly missed and her memory will be cherished by her son Brian Johnson (Lynn Wells) of Sudbury, and their children Erin Navin (Sean), and John Lovering of Regina and Andy and Jesse Trussler of Edmonton; daughter Marlene Elias (Bill) and their children Stephanie and Jacob of Tucson, Arizona; daughter Gwen Spooner and her children Ellen of San Diego, Michael (Samantha) of Vail, Arizona, Bridget of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Maggie of Tucson, Arizona; great-grandchildren Taya Navin, Knox Navin, and Eli Holtslander of Regina, Jayden Elias of Tucson, Declan Martin of Tucson, Isabella Spooner, Harper Spooner, and Kayden Spooner of Vail, Arizona; and her younger brother Gordon (Gay) of Edmonton; as well as numerous nephews and nieces.The family would like to extend a very special thank you to all the wonderful people at Pasqua Hospital and Grace Hospice for their generous support during Margaret's final weeks.A Celebration of Margaret's Life will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 24, 2024 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 190 Massey Road, Regina, SK with Rev.

1947 – 2024After complications from non-small cell lung cancer, and after many months of treatments, Pat McCormack passed away on Friday, May 31, 2024. Pat is survived by her brother, Dr. Greg McCormack, and his wife, Mara (and first wife Sue); her nephews, Kevin (Wendy) and their son, Cole, and Dr. Steven McCormack (Jenny); great-nephew, Matthew; and great-niece, Katie. There were also cousins: Dr. Bob McCormack (Sue), Dr. David McCormack (Maureen), Jamie Irving (Wynona), and Margaret Irving (David Rolf), and their children. Other survivors include three elderly cats, Rascally, Muse, Hero, and her horse, Penny. While there were few blood relatives, survivors included very close friends, Leita Lawrence (Ed), Ruth McConnell, Karin Buss (John), Glynnis Hood (Dee), Ken and Marvalie Ewing, Sylvia Weasel Head, Linda Johnson and David Ashley, Leslie Cameron (Bob Simpson), Gordon Drever, Andy Do, and Pamela Holway. Sadly, most of her close Indigenous friends and her beloved horses and dogs predeceased her.Pat lived for her scholarship. She was the Ethnologist at the Royal Alberta Museum for 10 years, during which time she developed several smaller exhibits and a major exhibit about Fort Chipewyan, Northwind Dreaming, working in partnership with people in Fort Chipewyan. She joined the faculty of Native Studies in 1992, and stayed until she retired in 2012, as a full professor. She offered many new courses, trying to meet student needs and often consulting with Indigenous people about their development. When she retired, she worked for numerous clients with her business, "Native Bridges Consulting, Inc.". Much of that work involved preparing expert reports for Indigenous clients, especially in the context of oil sands and treaty issues.She continued to publish widely, even after she became ill. Her lengthy list of publications included two books about Fort Chipewyan ethnohistory and books about northern Metis, northern bison, and the treaties of Alberta. She also published about northern dogs, the Orkney Islands, material culture, and a wide range of other topics. After she was diagnosed with cancer, her biggest concern was to get several legacy manuscripts published while she could still work on them. Her professional and personal papers have been deposited in the University of Alberta Archives. They include versions of manuscripts that have had footnotes removed for publication in the interest of space. These are available to interested scholars.Memorial Donations may be made to in Pat's name to the Edmonton Humane Society (13620 – 163 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5V 0B2).A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Connelly-McKinley Downtown Funeral Home, (10011 – 114 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1R5).To send condolences please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com.

1923 – 2024Tony Cashman, a broadcaster, author, and playwright who delighted generations of Edmontonians by bringing to life the colourful stories of his beloved home's history, passed away peacefully on June 3 at the age of 101.Growing up in Edmonton, Tony detested that Canadian history taught in schools was a lifeless landscape of dates, places, and names. After returning from WWII – where he flew 30 missions as an RCAF navigator – he set out to change that narrative. While working as a CJCA radio news reporter, Tony found that "the stories of happenings in Edmonton's past were invariably more interesting, more dynamic, and more amusing than current events." He convinced skeptical station managers to back a three-month trial for weekly radio broadcasts called "The Edmonton Story" featuring the city's entertaining history. The series continued for more than 700 episodes and was so popular the first of many collections of The Edmonton Story were printed in 1956, launching a publishing career that extended more than a half century and produced more than 15 books.Tony always had a day job – reporter at CJCA, CFRN and Edmonton Journal, program director at CKUA radio, and curator of the Vista 33 museum – but in his spare time the 1924 Underwood typewriter given by his mom to encourage his writing career was steadily producing new books. Over the years he wrote histories of Alberta's nursing profession, Alberta Motor Association and Edmonton Northlands. His book Singing Wires traced the revolution sparked by the telephone. And his illustrated histories of Alberta and Western Canada were best-sellers. Long after retirement he wrote Gateway to the North about Edmonton's impressive aviation history and oversaw revivals of The Edmonton Story for the U of A Press. At the age of 71 he joined his great friend Frank Glenfield in the first of 10 Fringe plays that brought to life historical figures such as Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby and Emily Carr. He was honoured by the City as an Edmontonian of the Century and by the province with the Alberta Order of Excellence. More importantly to Tony, he helped generations of Edmonton writers and historians share their own stories with families, friends, and community.As Tony always explained, everything he accomplished was thanks to his marriage to Veva Costello, who was not only a loving partner in raising their three boys, but professionally a source of encouragement and advice as well as the typist of every word he published until she passed in 2005. Both Veva and Tony grew up during the Depression, lost their fathers at a young age, and endured the sorrows of war. But they had the gift of optimism that carried them through life and inspired them to travel across the world in their retirement. Even after he entered long-term care at age 98, Tony's cheerfulness earned him the nickname Mr. Optimistic.Tony always considered it a privilege to wake up each day in his beloved Edmonton, a city where he found friendship and opportunity. He was also grateful for the love and support of his family, especially sons Hal, Bernie and Paul (wife Laurel and daughter Helen), Cathy and Larry Leonard, and the California Cashmans, as well and many friends, colleagues and collaborators.A Prayer Service will be held on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:30 pm, at Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home 10011 114 Street NW, Edmonton. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, June 14 at 10:00 am at St. Joseph's Basilica 10044 113 Street, Edmonton.In lieu of flowers, donations are encouraged to the Edmonton People in Need Shelter Society https://epins.ca/ or the Good Samaritan Society https://gss.org/donate/ , whose Southgate staff provided loving care.To send condolences please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com.

November 1937 - June 3, 2024

Erhard Mueller was born on April 26, 1929 in Kolowert (Wolhynia, Poland). Erhard was the second oldest of four sons born to Michael and Alwine Mueller. In January 1940 the family, along with other Germans, were resettled to Warthegau, Germany. After five short years, the family had to flee from the advancing Soviet army and were overtaken by Soviet tanks within a short period of time. The next days were not pleasant. Escaping death twice, by the grace of God, Erhard, and his father were arrested and placed in a work camp. After a few weeks, they were sent to a camp in Charkov (Soviet Union). In October 1945, because of illness, they were sent back to Germany. The family was reunited by the end of 1948. In 1953 Erhard immigrated to Canada and eventually settled in Edmonton. He met his life's partner, Anna, at the immigration camp. They were married in December 1954 by Rev. Pfeifer at the Central Baptist Church in Edmonton. They became founding members of the German Zion Baptist Church and Erhard, using his love of music, served the Lord, for many years through the Brass Band, as well as the mixed and male choirs. God blessed their marriage with two sons, Harry and Werner. His parents and three brothers all preceded Erhard in death. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Anna, his sons Harry and Werner with their spouses Ruth and Bernadette. He also leaves behind five grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. He went to be with his Lord on June 1, 2024 at the age of 95.A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at Zion Baptist Church 9802- 76 Ave, Edmonton, Alberta.In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society https://alzheimer.ca/ab/en

1927 – 2024Our mom passed away peacefully on June 6, 2024 at her home, at the age of 97. In the words of one of her healthcare providers, she had "run out of gas". We had visited her earlier that day, and she was comfortable and well-cared for.Mom was predeceased by her parents, Albert and Alda; brothers, Norman and Cecil and of course, the love of her life, her husband Richard (in 2012). She is survived by her sons, Steven (Judy) and Jonathan (Shauna); grandsons, William (Carli) and Zachary (Ceana); and great-grandchildren, Sonny, Luca, Billie and Sid. She is also remembered by countless friends, board members, community members and fellow volunteers.Mom was born in London on January 23, 1927. She was orphaned during the war and was essentially raised by her brothers and then, when they went to fight for their country, family friends. She chose a career in nursing, which is where she met her soon-to-be husband. Together with their two young boys, they emigrated to Canada in 1957 for a fresh start in Edmonton. She was a classic stay-at-home mother to her family, and like everything else in her life, she did it very well. But she always had time for volunteer activities as well, including the Edmonton Allied Arts Council, Chairing the University Hospital Women's Auxiliary, the Board of the Salvation Army, the Ethics Committee at the Royal Alexandria Hospital and most notably her time as the Chair of the Edmonton Ambulance Authority where she witnessed firsthand the trauma of the Edmonton Tornado in 1987. She was also the President of the Canterbury Residents Association and worked hand in hand with administration in improving everyone's lives there. She was awarded the Confederation Medal in 1992 as well as the Alberta Cancer Board of Appreciation for service between 1979 and 1999.She was elegant, classy and dignified, yet she wasn't afraid to get on the ground and play with her kids, or grandkids. She loved to garden, bake, and later in her life, travel all over the world with Dad, mostly on cruise ships. She was generous to a fault, as many charities and foundations in and around Edmonton can testify to. All of this said, she was not one to blow her own horn and would probably be embarrassed by the accolades she is receiving.Most of all, she loved, and was loved by, everyone in her life. She will be missed by all of us whose lives she touched but is in a happier place and reunited with Dad.The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the caring staff at the Haven, in the Canterbury Foundation for making her last few weeks there comfortable.We will be hosting a Celebration of her Life, at the Connelly McKinley Downtown Funeral Home, 10011 – 114 Street NW, Edmonton, on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. The service will also be live-streamed. In lieu of flowers, we would urge you to consider a donation to the Salvation Army or the CanterburyFoundation.To send condolences please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com

The McLennans are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our family patriarch, Rod, on May 28, 2024 after a stoic battle with cancer. Rod was born in Bracken, Saskatchewan on September 7, 1935 to parents, Alexander and Margaret McLennan. He spent his formative years in Lethbridge, Alberta, before departing in 1954 to pursue his studies at the University of Alberta where he graduated with Bachelor of Arts and Laws in 1958.Mona, the love of Rod's life, passed away in November of 2023. Rod joins her and is survived by his children Greg, Graham (Jill), Michael (Maria), Lori (Grant), Rob (Kerri Lee), Neal (Amanda), fifteen grandchildren - Meredith, Carly (Monte), Rod (Kati), Mark (Celeste), Sara (Eric), Brad (Nicole), Adam, Reid (Kealy), Robin, Rebecca, Sydney, Lucas, Alex, Greer, and Lola - and three great-grandchildren, Emery, Carter, and Felix.For decades Rod was one of the preeminent lawyers in Alberta and was nationally and internationally recognized as one of the country's top litigators. He served as counsel to premiers, cabinet ministers, the largest public corporations and several high profile Public Inquiries. He attended before the Supreme Court of Canada so frequently that he could make the walk from his hotel to the courtroom with his eyes closed. And, throughout, he was a driving force into making McLennan Ross the nationally recognized firm that it is today.In his spare time, Rod was also a very successful businessman, developing real estate in the Edmonton area, Phoenix, Denver and his beloved Hilton Head Island where he enjoyed golf and captaining the Sine Die in the waters off South Carolina. Off the links, Rod travelled, fished and hunted and, with equal gusto, conquered the New York Times crossword puzzle every Sunday morning. A polymath and deeply curious, Rod managed to find time to devour books, balance sheets and legal briefs and was always ready for a spirited debate or conversation with those brave enough to enter the fray.Rod also loved the social side of life and was a willing party organizer whether at home or at McLennan Ross. He viewed social gatherings as a welcome part of life and a requirement to build the "work hard/play hard" ethos he so embodied. Rod's capacity to handle martinis was legendary.Rod also made time to be involved in many community endeavors, providing time and resources to: The Royal Mayfair Golf Club, President's Council of the University of Alberta, President's Circle of the Art Gallery, Olympic Trust of Canada, United Way, Grant MacEwan College, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, and Alberta Foundation for Environmental Excellence.

The family of Margaret Anne May Lambert of Edmonton, Alberta, is saddened to announce her passing on Saturday, February 10, 2024, at the age of 75 years.She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 51 years, David Howatt; their son, Davis Howatt-Lambert, and his wife, Jessie Bain; sister-in-law, Dayle Lambert, and her namesake daughters, Anne Lambert (Wayne Mah) and Margaret Lambert Jacula (Darren, and son Miles); brother, Ken Lambert (Glenna, daughter Sheena (Leif); brother, Leonard Lambert (Lesley, and sons Michael (Char) and Stuart (Bridget); as well as numerous relatives and friends.She will also be dearly missed by her colleagues at the University of Alberta, especially in Human Ecology, and numerous students in her field of historic costume, cross-cultural textiles, and museum studies.She was predeceased by her loving oldest brother, Bernie; and her parents, Leonard T. and Margaret E. Lambert.Anne was born at the Edmonton General Hospital (EGH) and died at the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre (EGCCC). In between those events, she had a busy life full of friends, travel, and continuous learning. She was an outstanding student at Oliver Elementary School, Westminster Junior High School, and Ross Shepherd High School where she was active in student government and inter-high school council. Her summers involved time at the Lambert cabin at Silver Beach and winters included success at snowmobile racing.At the University of Alberta, aside from her studies in Home Economics (specializing in Clothing and Textiles), she was President of Delta Gamma women's fraternity. With the guidance and encouragement of Elizabeth Richards, Anne achieved honours grades while obtaining her Masters degree at the University of Washington (Seattle). Anne was a member of the U of W Grad Student Senate and an active participant in anti-Vietnam war protests. Upon her return to Edmonton, she focused her social activism on feminist issues such as forming Options for Women and making a successful presentation to the Alberta Legislature Select Committee on Regulations which led to major reform of the Change of Name legislation.In 1971, following a solo grand tour (hostels) of Europe, Anne was hired as a Sessional Lecturer in Clothing and Textiles. In 1972 she was hired on the full-time tenure track. Anne received the Rutherford Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and later attained the rank of 'Full' Professor.Professor Anne Lambert served as the Curator of the Clothing and Textiles Collection for 35 years. She played a pivotal role in establishing and growing this collection into one of profound international stature made up of more than 23,000 cross-cultural artifacts, representing more than 250 years of history. The collection generates interest among students, researchers, alumni, and the public. It is an important resource for scholars and students of artifact conservation, museum studies, dress design and construction, and textile science.In addition to her significant curatorial accomplishments, Anne's charisma, wit, and passionate appreciation for clothing and textiles has made an indelible impression on scores of students and colleagues. They credit her as their mentor and inspiration for studying textiles and dress. Through her collection-based courses, students gained both knowledge and respect for the materials and objects of everyday life in addition to a rich understanding of how clothing and textiles are intimately connected to personal, social, and cultural identities.Anne was one of the original inductees in 2011 when the University of Alberta Museums and Collections Services established its Curators Hall of Fame. In 2017, the university's clothing and textiles collection was named in honour of professor emerita Anne Lambert. That event also marked the launch of a fundraising campaign to support the creation of an endowed textile conservator position for the Anne Lambert Clothing and Textiles Collection. A textile conservator is integral to protecting Anne's legacy and the future of the collection through the application of international standards of artifact care, storage, and exhibition. Memorial Donations may be made in Anne Lambert's name to support the endowment of a textile collection conservator position at uabgive.ca/texcon then click on the green "Give Now" button.The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff of the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre (EGCCC) for their care and compassion. They kept Anne safe and comfortable for almost six years, including the trying years and uncertain times of COVID-19. The Resident Care Managers, LPNs, and especially the Health Care Aides in Ward 11Y were amazing! Management, food and housekeeping staff, greeters, recreation staff, and volunteers also helped make the EGCCC a welcoming place for an involved caregiver. Dr. Uzma Khan provided kind care to the end.A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, 2024, at Connelly-McKinley Downtown Funeral Home (10011 114 St NW, Edmonton, AB).

Our dear son and brother, Richard, passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on May 20, 2024, at the age of 56. He will be profoundly missed by his family and friends. Richard is survived by his father Michael; brother and sister-in-law, Kim and Mieko; and will be lovingly remembered by his family in the UK and Europe. He goes to join his mother Sheila, who passed away in 2012. Born in London, England, Richard came to Canada as a wee baby and grew up in Edmonton. He loved nature and all its creatures and would always stop to chat with a wayward snail or mob of tadpoles. His love of wading through the shallows in our summers in the Shuswaps earned him the nickname "The Frog Prince". He also began his love of fishing there. Richard found his people in the world of punk music in Edmonton in the 80s and spent many nights hanging out in the music scene, developing his art style by creating gig posters for his friends' many bands. Richard himself was a fine guitar player, something that would give him comfort throughout his life. Richard's love of nature led him to consider working in marine biology, but his incredible talent and interest in art became his main focus and a more powerful calling, and after some time at the University of Alberta studying fine arts, he soon headed to Vancouver to pursue his dream of being an artist. In Vancouver, he and his partner Josephine made a life together. Richard's art led him in new directions, and he created several installations at popular restaurants in and around Commercial Drive. Richard also worked as a cook and began a lifelong love of cooking. Eventually they moved to the quieter valleys of Kelowna, finding a great group of friends hanging out at the legendary Bean Scene on Bernard Avenue. Though Richard and Josephine did eventually go their separate ways, they always kept in touch. Many of Richard's Bean Scene group became long time friends. His muse came and went through his older years, but art and music were always the heart of Richard's life. He would always see value in objects that were broken and discarded, and would find beauty in nature and industry, combining them into amazing works of art. He loved his garden, fishing, canning, cooking, and playing music for his friends. Richard would always see the good in people and found great comfort and purpose in helping others. His friends did the same for him, though he was definitely a better caregiver than patient. As he succumbed to his illness, his friends rallied to help him through those hard times. Richard's family will always be grateful to them. If you happen to spot a friendly frog who looks like it wants to chat, please say "Hi" from Richard; and if you can support a local artist in any way, that would make him very happy. We will be holding wakes for Richard in Kelowna and Edmonton, dates still to be determined. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.
