1938 ~ HARVEY ANHORN ~ 2018

The family of Harvey Anhorn would like to share that he passed away on December 2nd, 2018 peacefully and comfortably cared for by the wonderful staff at Masterpiece Southlands.
Harvey was predeceased by his wife, Darlene Anhorn in 1996. His legacy is left in the family that has survived him. Three children: Michele (Gary) Reeder, Craig (Bonnie) Anhorn and Curtis Anhorn. Harvey was blessed with five grandchildren: Ashley Pickett, Amber Anhorn, Jesse Anhorn, Kieran Anhorn, Tabitha Nichols and four great grandchildren.
Harvey's joy was evident when surrounded by family. Serving up a roaster full of cabbage rolls, pickling beets or guiding the casings while the sausage press turned out 100's of pounds of frying sausage for family and friends, Harvey's 'love language' was food. Nothing said 'I Love You' more than a gallon of his homemade Borscht.
Being born into a farming background Harvey's heart always yearned for the land. His love and respect of the prairie ran through his veins. To be hot and sunburnt, spending the day on a hard metal tractor seat, produced a dusty smile and the feeling of a job well done. Once those around Harvey became aware of his affinity for cooking, his place on the field quickly turned to "Cookie" for the thrashing crews!
The livestock left under Harvey's charge were some of the happiest characters to ever be known. There was Charlotte, the prized 'Sow' who demanded her 'belly rub' with an oak post every morning. Tina the Holstein who only had eyes for Harvey. Pausing to stop and peer into the front window, she would wait to accompany Harvey to the barn for milking. The two of them then walking side by side, in morning conversation; was a picture we will treasure forever.
Though physically frail in the end Harvey recounted many stories, all of which we will miss. But we are satisfied and comforted in knowing our Dad answered the most important invitation.

My heart has heard you say;
"Come and talk with me."
And my heart responds;
"Lord I am coming!" Ps.27:8

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Jenny Jensen, who left this world on Friday, November 30th, 2018, with her cherished children by her side. Jenny leaves to cherish her memory her loving boyfriend, Mike Hickey; son, Jeff (Cheryl) Jensen; daughter, Meagan (Brad) Martin; grandson, Xanon William Jensen; brothers, Xanon (Kayte) Jensen and Jody (Dee) Jensen; and sisters, Jytte (Perry) Olechowski and Jane Looker; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

At two years of age she came to Canada with her parents and two older siblings, settling in Ontario, and later moving to Medicine Hat. Jenny faced many challenges through out her 63 years but was determined to live her life with tenacity and loyalty. She was fiercely independent, despite the physical limitations forced on her as a result of a motor vehicle collision. Her accomplishments were many; both professionally and personally. Jenny was adamant that everyone deserved respect and dignity, she advocated strongly for vulnerable people, and she valued the many friendships that she made wherever she went. Jenny’s children were the greatest benefactors of her positive outlook on life and were her greatest source of pride. She will be sadly missed.
