BEATRICE ELLEN TRONRUD (NEE STALKER)
Beatrice Tronrud, the youngest of six children was born September 11th, 1931, on the family farm near Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. As a young girl, Bea attended Leeville School before commencing studies at the Assiniboia Composite High School.
Tory Tronrud met Bea, the love of his life, while they both attended high school. They married happily in 1952 and welcomed three children (Heather, Tory Jr. and Gary) in the following years.
Tory Sr., worked as a banker, allowing Bea and the children the opportunity to experience life in many towns and cities across the prairies, including Lafleche, Rosetown, Swan River, Winnipeg and Medicine Hat. They also enjoyed time in Oshawa and Thunder Bay, Ontario, where Bea, a compassionate woman, trained to become a Registered Nursing Assistant. Her work was invaluable to the many she helped at hospitals in Oshawa and Medicine Hat.
Upon retiring, Bea and Tory began a life of travel, spending the winters in California and summers with children and grandchildren in Canada. Throughout her life, Bea was a constant companion to her husband. They were an inseparable team; together they enjoyed live music, antique cars and travelling. Bea also loved animals, particularly horses and dogs. Her Arabian horses, Pashy, Follie and Amara, brought her much joy, as well as her dogs, Penny and Tussa.
Above all, Bea cherished time with her family and friends. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, with a spontaneous, wry sense of humour. She was loved by all of us and will be sadly missed. We shall always remember our precious time together.
Bea was predeceased by her husband, Tory Tronrud; her parents, Simon and Elizabeth Stalker; her brothers, Don and Jack Stalker; and her sisters, Minnie Peterson (Bill) and Winifred Reitan (George). Bea is survived by her three children, Heather Moynihan (Douglas), Tory Tronrud, and Gary Tronrud (Catherine). Bea also left behind four grandchildren, Marc Klein, Karina Klein, Thorold Tronrud and Brigit Tronrud; and her brother, Bruce Stalker of Assiniboia.
A Celebration of Bea’s life will be held at SAAMIS MEMORIAL FUNERAL CHAPEL, #1 Dunmore Road SE, on Saturday, August 1st, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. with Father John L. Maes officiating. The interment will take place at Saamis Prairie View Cemetery where she will rest alongside her beloved Tory. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. A special thanks to the staff of Hogarth Riverview in Thunder Bay for the wonderful care Bea received.

Isobel “Teddy” Vano passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side at St. Joseph’s – Carmel Hospice, Medicine Hat, AB., on Friday, July 24, 2015 at the age of 90 years. Teddy leaves to cherish her memory four children; Penny (Terry) Scully of Calgary and their children, Michelle (Quentin) Wilson of Kipling, Saskatchewan, Timothy, Nicole (Mike) Fujda, Sean (Kristen), Shane (Morgan) and Christine Scully all of Calgary; Candy (Jeffrey) Neumann of Medicine Hat and their daughter, Heather (Les) Schneider of Medicine Hat; Lawrence Vano (Andrea) and her son, Graham Mainer of Whitehorse, Yukon; Robbie (Randy) Fairhurst and their sons, Curtis (Amber) of Calgary and Cameron of Redcliff as well as nine great- grandchildren. Teddy was predeceased by her husband, David Vano, her parents, Isobel and Richard Edwards and one granddaughter, Sherisse Scully. Isobel was born in Dartford, Kent, England on December 2, 1924. Teddy immigrated to Canada in 1950 to work as a physiotherapist in Edmonton. She moved to Calgary, where she met and married David and raised their family. Teddy worked for the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society for many years. In 1978 she and David moved to Beaverlodge, Alberta and she continued to work as a physiotherapist. Teddy and David moved to Redcliff upon retirement where she appreciated the hot weather and flora and fauna of the area, although a part of her heart remained in the Peace Country. Teddy would rather go for a walk picking rocks, fossiling and enjoying the great outdoors than clean house. If Teddy wasn’t going for a walkabout she was relishing watching all types of sports, especially football. “Go Stamps Go”. She became very involved in the community by driving for Meals on Wheels and modestly received the Volunteer Of The Year award for Redcliff. In her 90 years she was never without a four legged friend that barked, even at the Teeoda Lodge where Rover sat outside her door.

LANGEJANS A few words from Gaye Langejans
May 6, 1920 – July 23, 2015
"My parents were Jochum Jager and Barteldina Klein. They named me Geessien. I was the fourth of 14 children. On the 4th of August, 1945 I married my childhood sweetheart Margienus Langejans in Enschede, Holland. His parents were Johannes Langejans and Henderkien Reening. Life was difficult in Europe then. In May, 1954 we and our three children Hans, Ina and Jope began a new life in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My husband worked as a baker and I worked by his side in our bakery in Brentwood. Marty and Dianne were born in Calgary. In 1979 Martin and I moved to Medicine Hat because all the kids except Jope were here. My husband died in 1990. I have been with the wonderful friends at Chinook Village since 1996. Our son Marty died in 2012. I am very happy now that my family has 22 grand children, 22 great- grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren… and another great grand daughter on the way."
