MAPSTONE Douglas “Doug” Roland Mapstone of Medicine Hat, passed away on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at the age of 88 years, beloved husband of the late Violet Mapstone.

Doug was born February 18, 1928, in Oxarat Saskatchewan to Gilbert and Annie Mapstone. As one of eight children he was kept busy on the farm helping with chores and tending to the animals. As a young man he worked for many local farmers and threshing crews. After purchasing some land, he met and married Violet Klatt. Their life was dedicated to farming and raising their children. The farm kept them close to home as they had to be around to milk the cow. Doug became a very dedicated member of the Consul Elks Club until he sold the farm and moved to Medicine Hat in 1993. During his retirement in Medicine Hat he spent time as an avid bowler and taking care of his yard, always the greenest on the block. Spending time with his grandchildren was extremely important to him. In 2005, he lost Violet to illness, and life changed. With his family and close friends, he made it through this difficult time. Over the past several years Olga Weiss has been a dear friend, who was with him and his family to the end.
