DR. FLORENCE MELCHIOR

Family and friends gathered privately at St. Patrick’s Church last Saturday to honour the life of this remarkable lady. Another angel got her wings… she is forevermore at peace.

 

An angel is what she was meant to be,

Now think of all that she can see,

Watching over her family night & day,

Saying I love you in her own special way!

 

Her Life Lived…

Her Life Cherished…

Her Life Honoured.

MARTHA WILSON

1920 ~ 2020

 

It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Martha Helen Wilson (nee Erickson) on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, in Medicine Hat at the age of 100 years. This is a time of both sadness and celebration. It is a time to remember the remarkable woman that she was – kind, caring and loving. Family was everything to Martha. She is survived by her loving children, Rod (Rhonda), Darryl (Elaine) and Myra (Gary) Evert; six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren; sister, Ethel Laurence in La Grande, Oregon as well as numerous nieces, nephews and close friends. She was predeceased by Gordon, her beloved husband of 72 years; parents, John and Anna Erickson; ten siblings; daughter-in-law, Georgina Wilson and grandson-in-law, James Toronchuk. Martha was born on April 22, 1920, at home on the Erickson family farm north of Lancer, SK., and was delivered by her grandmother who was a mid-wife. Martha pitched softball in her younger years then played golf and curled when they lived in Abbey, SK. She was an excellent cook, baker and made the best buns and bread ever! Everyone always remarked when they stopped in for coffee, that she would go to the deep freeze and bring out a plate of delicious goodies. Martha had a quick wit about her and an excellent memory. She enjoyed playing cribbage and faithfully watched every Blue Jays game. She lived a long and healthy life and Martha’s family was so blessed to have had her with them for as long as they did. Martha’s memory will be remembered with a private family celebration at a later date.

MILES BARKLEY

1952 ~ 2020

 

With heavy hearts the family of Miles Edgar Barkley of Jenner, Alberta, announces his passing at the Bow Island Health Centre on Saturday, November 14, 2020, at the age of 68 years. Miles was born in Parry Sound, Ontario on March 17, 1952, a son to proud parents, Harold and Edith Barkley. While he was born in Parry Sound, he was raised in the community of Whitestone. Miles married Beverly in Alberta and they began their life together. He lived in the rural countryside in Jenner where he farmed and also kept the roads maintained as a grader operator. Miles was hard working, honest and always helpful to his fellow man. Miles enjoyed the outdoors where he would go hunting, fishing and ride his ATV and while indoors he would be tuned in to watch hockey and football. He maintained balance in his life and between life at home and work, he made time for his community through his previous involvement with the Elks Lodge. Miles will be missed by his three children, Edie (Nevin) Karvonen, Stewart Barkley and Cameron Barkley; a brother, Paul Barkley; grandchildren, Jesse, Braydon and Mackenzie; brother-in-law and sister-in-law as well as his nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his wife, Beverly; parents, Harold and Edith and a brother, Glen Barkley.
