1923 ~ JOHNNE SINGH ~ 2020

Johnne Singh of Medicine Hat passed away on Tuesday October 20, 2020, at the age of 96 years, beloved husband and best friend of the late Catherine Singh. The last of his generation, he leaves to cherish his memory his children, Wanda Stuber, Brenda Hemminger, Sharon Wick (Brad Stoski) and David (Faith) Singh; eleven grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren; sister-in-law Ivadel Davidson and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Cathy in 2018; son Randy; daughter-in-law Shelley; sons-in-law Warren and Jerry; his parents Besua and Jennie Singh; three brothers, Robert in infancy, James and Billy, and sister Elizabeth. Johnne lived life with joy and generosity. His kind and gentle nature was expressed through his jubilant smile and infectious laughter. He was always willing to extend a helping hand whether it be in the field for harvest or out on the land planting trees. Johnne held a vast array of skills and knowledge refined by his time serving in the Navy and through numerous professions over his 25 year employment at CFB Suffield working as a barber, a bus driver and a fireman to name a few. Camping was a favourite pastime for Johnne and Cathy, sharing as many trips to the lake with family and friends as they could starting in early spring and closing each season with a feast on Thanksgiving weekend. He had a passion for fishing, so much so that he adopted the title, ‘The Fish Whisperer,’ and he never missed a Miller Time. He will forever be adored and remembered in the hearts of those who knew him. A special thank you to the staff of Meadow Ridge for loving him like family. As per Johnne’s wishes, no funeral service will be held.

December 2, 1978 ~ October 16, 2020

 

It is with great sadness that the family of Allen James Kaupp announce his passing on Friday, October 16, 2020. Allen is survived by his wife, Roseanne and sons, Creston and Roane. Also grieving his loss are his parents, Joan and Jim Kaupp; siblings, Celeste (Doug) Murphy, Cameron (Crista Kolter) Kaupp, Kenton (Jackie Fry) Kaupp, Galen (Erin) Kaupp, Olivia (Steven) Blair; numerous nieces and nephews as well as many extended family members and friends. Allen was born in Fort McMurray and moved with his family to Medicine Hat at the age of three. After graduating from McCoy High School, he received training as an Emergency Medical Technician and worked in that capacity for a number of years in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. He then settled in Redcliff with Rosie and their young family. Allen also worked in the oil and gas industry and later on as a truck driver. In addition, he also served as a Volunteer Firefighter with the Redcliff and Box Springs Fire Departments. Allen and Rosie were fond of adventure and that included a love of travel. Some destinations were Southeast Asia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba, Eastern Europe, Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Allen had a unique sense of humour which he loved to combine with his talent for writing. Everyone was soundly entertained with his stories of travel adventures and a highlight was when his siblings were being “roasted” at their wedding reception. He was an enthusiast of the outdoors and his favourite activities included family camping trips, fishing, and hunting. He was also quite creative with his barbeque and smoker. One of his latest quests was to continue to master his fly rod and to get his boys excited about fly fishing as well. Rest Peacefully, Allen, in Jesus’ comforting embrace. The Funeral Mass will be a private family celebration at Holy Family Parish with Fr. Rodel Abanto, celebrant with Allen’s uncle, Deacon Roger Reilander assisting. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial donations in Allen’s name may be made directly to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 204 – 1865 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 1Z8.

LILY MUELLER

 

January 31, 1927 ~October 20, 2020

 

Lily Mueller, beloved wife of the late Elmer Mueller, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, at 93 years of age.

 

Lily was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Elmer in 2018; two infant children, Sharon and Myron James; two sisters Magdelina and Herta and many cherished family and friends.

 

Lily will be lovingly remembered by her children: Lucie (David) Oliphant, Victor (Oekie) Mueller, Karen (Mark) Horch, and Myron Mueller. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Sarah (Andy) Kirschenman, Andrew (Kristine) Oliphant, Hannah (Lance) Penner, Aaron (Trena) Mueller, Stephanie Mueller (Joe Szabo), Nathan (Lauren) Horch, Charis Horch, and Daniel (Michelle) Horch and by her great- grandchildren: Isaiah and Sierra, Elinor and Myles, Jacqueline and Deacon, Gabriel and Malcolm, and Gavin. Lily loved her family… seeing her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren brought a smile to her face.

 

Lily was born in Wygoda (Friedensheim) near Odessa, Ukraine (then USSR) on January 31, 1927. At a young age, her family relocated to Yerevan, Armenia where she lost both her mother and father. She was then raised by her grandmother and older sister. They went back to Odessa, and then spent a brief time in Poland and Ulm, Germany during WW II. After the war she worked for a furrier. As a young girl she learned to speak German, Russian, and Armenian.

 

In 1948, with the help of an aunt and uncle’s sponsorship, Lily immigrated to Canada, eventually residing in Calgary. She married Elmer Mueller in Calgary on December 8, 1951. They spent much of their lives farming in the Horsham, Saskatchewan area. In 1977, Lily and Elmer moved to Medicine Hat where Lily worked at Stone Furs for a number of years.

 

The favourite place for Lily was to be at home with her family. She also loved to garden, plant flowers and go to the mountains.

 

At an early age, Lily’s grandparents taught her about Jesus. Church, worship and reading the Bible were very important to her and she passed this down to her children.

 

A private service will be held in Medicine Hat on Monday, October 26, 2020. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting http://www.cooksouthland.com). Honoured to serve the family is

ROY BARTLETT

 

A brisk fall day greeted those attending Roy’s celebration at Cook’s this past Saturday. Beautiful floral displays along with special music and words of tribute, surely provided lasting memories for all in attendance.

 

Remember Roy’s smile,

And all the love he shared,

Never passing on an opportunity,

To show how much he cared.

His Life Cherished…

His Life Honoured.
