1942 ~ EILEEN FERGUSON (nee: HASCHAK) ~ 2021

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Eileen Ferguson, but it is with great honour and privilege that we celebrate her life. Eileen will be forever cherished by her husband of 57 years, Bob Ferguson, daughters Shannon Bissanti of Austin, Texas and Janice (Jayme) Hepfner of Calgary. Eileen was blessed with five grandchildren, Kali, Amelie and Bella Bissanti of Austin as well as Jada and Jake Hepfner of Calgary. Eileen also leaves her beloved sister Anne Chanda of Lethbridge, cousin Delores Ryan, nieces Lynn (Geoff) Chanda, Lee Anne (Dean) Jetten, Michele (Bob) Ross and Kelly (Ron) Watts; nephews Roy Chanda and Michael (Deb) Ryan. Eileen also leaves many special friends, teaching colleagues, wonderful neighbours and so many people in the Medicine Hat and church community that knew and loved her for her beautiful, kind, compassionate and considerate spirit. Eileen was predeceased by her son Jeff Ferguson, brother-in-law LeRoy Chanda and parents Michael and Jolana Haschak.

Eileen, (born Ilona Haschak) was born in Medicine Hat on May 4, 1942. She was extremely proud of her Slovakian heritage and her Medicine Hat roots. She moved to Lethbridge when she was 7 years old where she completed the rest of her schooling and graduated from St. Joseph’s High School. Eileen moved to Edmonton and attended the University of Alberta where she received her teaching diploma and began a proud career as a teacher in Lethbridge, High River, Grande Prairie and Medicine Hat.

Eileen met and fell in love with Bob Ferguson while living in Lethbridge. There are many stories of their adventures together over the years. Shortly after they married in 1964, Bob and Eileen moved to High River where Eileen taught first grade and Bob worked for Imperial Oil. Later that year they welcomed their son Jeff. Bob was transferred to Grande Prairie where Shannon joined the family. Imperial Oil also took them to Edmonton where they had their last child, Janice. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Tsawwassen, BC, where they had a very active lifestyle and many happy memories. The Ferguson family moved back to St. Albert a few years later and then a final move back to her birth place of Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1978. Eileen was a very active volunteer in the children’s schools and was grateful she had the opportunity to be home with her children. In each of these communities she always had such a wonderful network of lovely friends and neighbours and was known for her generosity, her humour and above all else…her story telling. Eileen loved to tell a good story and she had many.

Eileen was instrumental working with Bob at the Esso gas station as well as their Rent-a Wreck, Fun time Party Rentals and Discount Car rental businesses, but her greatest pride was working for the Medicine Hat Catholic school system as a substitute teacher. Eileen was often requested to sub and for many was a first choice to sub as she was known for her work ethic and kind spirit. The Ferguson family would often gather in the living room after a day of subbing to hear of the stories with her students and colleagues. These experiences brought her tremendous joy and we are so very proud that she was still getting calls to sub until her passing.

Eileen was truly an unforgettable soul. She was loved by all and she will be tremendously missed by those who had the honour of knowing her. She will be cherished forever. We sincerely appreciate the outpour of support from friends and family.

The celebration of life will be held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. with Life Celebrant, David Townsend. Family and friends are invited to remotely attend the funeral service. Search for the Pattison Funeral Home youtube page where the video will go live 10 minutes prior to service time.

1950 ~ MIKE HERTZ ~ 2021

 

Mr. Michael Hertz of Medicine Hat and former Senior VP & Group Publisher at the Medicine Hat News and Southern Alberta Newspapers passed away on Thursday, August 19, 2021, at the age of 71 years.

Mike is survived by his wife and best friend Nancy, the love of his life and his two loving sons Jason (Cari Knutson) and Cregg (Jenny Stelter-Millard) as well as numerous nieces and nephews – Bernard (Kirsti) Giacobbo, Bernadette (Ken) Kaufman, Geralyn Mouille (Brian), Anna Marie (Bruce) Adolf, Serina Lavallie (Gordie), Rick Giacobbo and Angela Giacobbo and their families along with numerous cousins.

He was predeceased by his father Michael in 1958 at age 51, mother Clementine in 1994 at age 83, brothers Michael in 1945 at age 10, Edward in 1954 at age 17, Anthony in 1975 at age 39 and sister Dorothy in 2015 at age 82 and her husband Angelo in 2014.

Mike was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan on June 19, 1950, and then raised on a farm at Alsask on the Alberta side of the border. His family had newly emigrated from the Ukraine through Germany in 1948, and had just settled on that farm. Life was tough in those first years especially after his Dad died and he and his mother lived alone on the farm. Mike attended school in Alsask to grade 6 and then went to Marengo for grades 7-10. In 1966-68 he went to St. Thomas College in North Battleford for grades 11 and 12, moving on to the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon for three years. Mike worked in the hospitality industry starting at the Harwood in Moose Jaw and managing restaurants and hotels for 16 years in different towns in Saskatchewan before moving on to the newspaper industry in Moose Jaw.

At the Times Herald in Moose Jaw he worked as a Sales Rep for three years, moving on to be Director of Sales and Marketing at the Prince Albert Daily Herald for three years and Publisher at the Swift Current Sun for three years. In 1996, he was appointed Publisher of the Medicine Hat News and two years later, Senior Vice President and Group Publisher for the Alberta Newspaper Group for all of southern Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan. He loved the newspaper Industry and was in this position for over 22 years.

Mike was also very involved in the Community at all the places he lived, ranging from President of the Chamber of Commerce in Moose Jaw to executive boards in business and tourism across Saskatchewan. He was also a member of Rotary Clubs for 35 years including the Rotary Club of Medicine Hat for over 23 years. His passion in Medicine Hat was the Medicine Hat News Santa Claus Fund which he supported in many ways from the time he moved to Medicine Hat.

Mike was passionate in his Catholic faith, a trait passed down to him by both his mother and sister Dorothy over the years.

Family and friends who wish to pay their respects may do so at the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME on Wednesday evening from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. and at the church on Thursday morning from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Holy Family Parish (1451 Strachan Road SE) on Thursday, August 26, 2021, with a tribute to Mike to begin at 10:15 a.m. and funeral mass following at 10:30 a.m. with Fr.

1960 ~ RANDY TAVES ~ 2021

 

Randy’s life adventure ended suddenly August 10, 2021 on a canoe trip in Banff National Park. Surrounded by friends, he died hearing words of comfort and love. Weighing in at a little more than 4 lbs, fitting in the palm of his doctor’s hand, Randy’s story began in Turtleford Hospital on May 27, 1960. His childhood on the farm shaped him into the man we knew and loved. There was always a touch of the farm boy in Randy, which was evident in his love of the outdoors, his ingenuity, work ethic and colourful language. His cheeky smile and the twinkle in his eyes could be both engaging and unsettling at the same time. He graduated from Turtleford High School in the class of 1978 which consisted of 28 people, many of whom are still friends. At the graduation ceremony he shared the job of creating and reading the class prophesies with Beth Little who- unbeknownst to them-would become his wife. He graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education followed by an Education degree. His working career took him to Davidson, Fort Qu’Appelle, Lloydminster and finally to Medicine Hat. His career always involved Recreation. The job which brought him the most satisfaction and joy was teaching young adult First Nations students how to create recreation programs within their communities. In both his personal and professional life he enjoyed the role of mentoring and gave to the community. His passion for recreation continued when he retired in May of 2020, as he enthusiastically modelled how to live each day of retirement with joy! Beth planned and organized Randy’s participation in myriad physical activities, most notably, walking, e-bicycling, and hiking. Even without Beth’spersuasion he enjoyed cooking, camping in their trailer, motorcycling, canoeing, attending sporting events and drinking a little coffee in his Bailey’s. Randy loved his wife Beth, his daughters Kaitlin (Dan), Laura (Adam) and Avery (Eric). He and his many stories are remembered by his brothers Lee (Sheila) and Bert, his parents-in-law, Roy and Kathy Little, along with many in-laws, cousins, friends and colleagues. He will be acutely missed by his nephews and nieces, each of whom undoubtedly has a special Uncle Randy story to tell. Randy was predeceased by his parents, Bobby and Netta Taves. A Celebration of Life will take place at the Esplanade Theatre (401 – 1 Street, S.E., Medicine Hat) on August 25, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. The service will be live streamed, and family and friends who are unable to attend are invited to watch the service by searching for the Pattison Funeral Home Youtube page. The video will go live 10 minutes prior to service time and will remain on the youtube page for future viewing. A second Celebration of Life will take place in Turtleford, SK at the community arena at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 27, 2021. In lieu of flowers, have Beth over for a meal or give a memorial donation to the Turtleford Spray and Play by writing a cheque to the town of Turtleford (indicating the donation to Randy in the memo line) or sending an e-transfer to rbrand@townofturtleford.com.

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be,

So He put his arms around you,

And whispered “Come to Me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
