1927 ~ MARGARET SCHEUERMAN ~ 2015

We are saddened by the loss of our extraordinary Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and dear friend, Margaret Scheuerman. Born in Langham, Saskatchewan she was one of nine children of Henry and Marie Lepp. Margaret married Wilfred on March 20, 1950 and they recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Throughout childhood, she lived in numerous places in Saskatchewan and Alberta. After marrying, Wilf and Margaret started their life together in Duchess and then settled in Medicine Hat. Margaret was a loving, proud and devoted mother and grandmother. She is survived by her large family and will be sadly missed by her seven children; Tyrril (Don) Tonks of Salmon Arm, Peggy (Dale) Reimer of Calgary, Jan (Terry) Seitz, Mark (Jenine), Pam (Dale) Fandrick, Stewart (Jasmina) all of Medicine Hat, and Kurt (Tannis) of Calgary; fifteen grandchildren, Dillon (Renee) Tonks, Erin (Jeff) Wiseman, Brianne (Scott) Hamilton, Whitney Reimer (Doug), Jonathan Seitz (Kathleen), Sean (Angela) Seitz, Cole (Michelle), Scott (Jenny), Keri (Chad) Schiebelbein, Tyson Fandrick (Jillian), Clay Fandrick (Natalea), Mitchell (Jessica), Savannah (Kyle), Lucas and Niklas; eight great grandchildren: Avery, Dane, Samuel, Jack, Shannon, Julian, Harper and Colton. She is also survived by brothers, Alvin (Helen), Bill, and George (Jacquie); sister, Helen Sather; brother-in-law, Les Penner; and numerous nieces and nephews. Margaret created a wonderful home for the family, and treasured every moment with her family. She was filled with compassion and interest in all they did. Margaret stayed in touch with grandchildren local and as far away as Melbourne, Australia, and Singapore. Family was the focus of her life. Margaret valued her faith; she was an active member of St. Peter Lutheran Church for many years, participating in Bible Study and the choir. Margaret and Wilf loved music and it reflected in their children. They were also fortunate to be able to travel together extensively, visiting such places as Europe, Japan, South Korea and Hawaii. Margaret especially enjoyed time spent with her close friends, Ella McFarlane (deceased) and Elinore Bader. She always entertained with her sense of humor and quick wit. Margaret was predeceased by her parents; sisters, Mary Bradford (Harold), Alma Lepp; and brothers, Henry and Peter Lepp; sister-in-law, Lillian Lepp; mother and father-in-law, Elizabeth and Edward; Wilf’s brothers, Clem and Bernie and spouses, and sister, Edna. Margaret passed away after a brief stay at the Medicine Hat General Hospital surrounded by the love of her family. She will be dearly missed, but we are comforted to know that Mom is reunited with her mother, father and other family members in heaven. Our memories of her will live on in all of our hearts. May she find peace in her eternal life. The Funeral Service will be held at ST.

MUNRO

George “Sam” Albert Munro, beloved husband of Annette Munro, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2015, at the age of 80 years. He leaves behind his sons, Brian (Wanda) Munro and Bruce Munro, son in-law, Les Costea, along with his grandchildren, Justin Costea, Jordan Costea (Ashton Donovan), Stuart Munro and Nicole (Mitch) Clarke, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter, Lynn Costea in 2010.
George was born in Medicine Hat to Bertha and George Munro on September 14, 1934. After graduating from high school in 1952, he began work with a PFRA survey crew in Vauxhall. In 1956, George returned to Redcliff and began working for a survey company in Medicine Hat. He articled for a Commission as an Alberta Land Surveyor, which he received in 1964. As well a Saskatchewan Land Surveyor Commission was granted in 1965. Sam was recognized in 2014 by the Alberta Land Surveyors Association for 50 years as a Professional. In 1958, George married Annette Lariviere in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan and in short order started their family.
In 1973, George and long time friends Dick Davies, Jim Van Dam A.L.S and Les Mehrer A.L.S. formed George Munro and Associates Ltd., which operated from 1973 until 2000. That firm was purchased in 2000 with George lending his expertise until late 2008.
In early 2009, George figured he wasn’t ready for retirement and met with Bob Wallace A.L.S. of Global Surveys Group to start Munro Global Surveys, presently Global Raymac Surveys. George was a voice of wisdom and insight in the surveying world and would still go to work a few hours a day when possible.
George’s sense of humor, quick wit, ability to tease anyone about anything and his love for his family, friends and lifelong neighbors will be sorely missed. He was a well- respected, outstanding man and we will all sorely miss him .
The Funeral Mass will be celebrated in Holy Family Parish (1451 Strachan Road SE) on Monday, April 27, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. with Fr. Philip Le celebrant. Interment will follow in Hillside Cemetery.
