.1921 ~ SEVERIN ~ 2014
Walter William Severin was born on September 30th,1921 in Langenberg, Saskatchewan. He was raised on a small farm and served as a gun Sergeant for five years in WWII. He then moved to Oliver, BC marrying Elsie Mathilda Beach (nee Martin) in June 1947 and adopting Elsie’s son, Larry Martin. Duane and Marilyn were born and they chose Lois and Greg. Walter and his family enjoyed farming in Glidden, Saskatchewan and later in Winnifred, Alberta. Walter’s passion was carpentry; we are still proud of his professional showcases built for Roset stores. Following Elsie’s passing in 1990, Walter married Flo (Ehret) in 1991, accepting her family as his own. Walter was predeceased by his parents, John Henry Severin, born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Anna Sarah Burton, born in Bloomington, Illinois. He was also predeceased by his siblings, Leslie, Ruth and Rudy; and in 2013 his son, Larry, passed away. Walter is survived by his wife, Flo; his children, Duane (David), Marilyn (Duane), Lois (Shane), Greg (Yvonne), and Dani; six grandchildren; five great grandchildren; and his chosen family’s children, Jenny (Roy), Del (Stan), Sandy, Les (Shelley), Michele (Roy), and Todd (Andrea); ten grandchildren; and twelve great grandchildren. Walter spent his last few months at the Good Samaritan Society who comforted him well in his last days. Walter was surrounded by family at his peaceful passing. Described as a very caring person, he loved helping others and it is said he “was a perfect gentleman” right to the end. We rejoice that he is there in OUR future and believe we’ll see him again one day.

.EMILIE ANNE MacFARLANE
February 11, 1993 – January 18, 2014
With great sadness we announce the passing of Emilie Anne MacFarlane, daughter to Jeff MacFarlane (Angie) and Marie-Claude Ratthé (David Chalk), sister to Patrick, André, Abigail and Claire MacFarlane in Quebec City on January 18, 2014. She will be forever 20. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her, including grandparents Jim and Joanne MacFarlane, Jean-Marie and Madeleine Ratthé, and Brian and Mary Ann Cline; aunts, uncles: Cathy (Sheldon) Regier, Tannis (Blake) Kelly, Christian Ratthé (Josée Collard), Étienne Ratthé (Caroline Lizotte), Melissa Hubert, Andy (Melissa Vanderleek) Cline, Sue (Mike) Head, Chris Pedersen as well as numerous cousins, friends and extended family.
Emilie was born in Calgary, on Feb.11, 1993. She was the first grandchild on both sides of the family. It was so easy to spoil this blonde, curly-haired little girl. In 1997 the family moved to Redcliff, where Emilie attended Connaught School and École Les Cyprès. During this time, Emilie enjoyed learning to play the piano. Her love of the piano grew so much that she later began composing music. Emilie also participated in numerous Children’s Theatre productions and at the Rotary Music Festival. In 2006, Marie-Claude, Dave, Emilie, Patrick and André moved to Quebec City where they could be closer to the Ratthé side of the family. Here, she continued her education at Mont-Saint-Sacrement, finishing her Cegep at Sainte-Foy. Emilie had many interests – music, languages, economics, history and archeology, for which she attended Université Laval. Emilie had a promising life ahead of her, but cancer does not play favorites. Emilie was diagnosed in March 2013 with a rare form of cancer. She fought the cancer with everything she had and did so with a smile on her face – always looking for the bright side. We are all blessed to have had 20 plus years with you, Beautiful! Thanks for always being you! Love you, forever and always.
Funeral Services were held in Quebec City on January 23, 2014. Emilie’s Alberta family is hoping to have a celebration of her life this summer in Medicine Hat.
