Patricia May Horne (Bignell) of Medicine Hat, beloved wife of the late Russel Horne, passed away peacefully at the Medicine Hat Hospital on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the age of 91 years. Surrounded by her 5 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she peacefully left us. She wasn’t just a matriarch: she was the heart of our family, the keeper of the best cookie recipes, a world traveler, and a woman of incredible strength and grace. She left us not scared, hurting or with regret, she really did live her life to the fullest. Her love and warmth will live on in our hearts forever. Pat was predeceased by her husband, Russ (2022), parents Irvin and May (Tennant) Bignell, brothers, Burt, Verle, Wayne, and sister, Sharon. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Brad (Sharon), Terry, Mark, Lindsay (Karen), Dalyce; grandchildren, Nola (Landon), Karissa (Colin), James (Trish), Andy (Tanya), Rob (Amadea), Chloe (Pete), Eli (Michelle), Liam (Maria); great-grandchildren Scarlett, Savanah, Lawson, Jasper, Marcus, Liam, Maisie, Cohen, Carson, Isabelle, Odette; her sister, Arline Grover (Leonard), brother, Jim (Bev) Romane, and sister-in-law, Marguerite Bignell. Born in Big Valley, AB on March 10, 1934, where she was raised and completed her schooling until 1953 when she attended the Royal Alexandra School of Nursing in Edmonton. She met Russ and they were married in 1955, raising 5 children in Drayton Valley, Sundre, Bowden, and Edson, until they moved to Iran in 1969, for two years. Medicine Hat became their home in 1971, where Pat was active with Oilwives and met many wonderful people that remained friends through the years. In 1980, they moved to Kansas, where Russ continued his career in the oil industry and returned to Calgary in 1983 with their final move in 1987, back to Medicine Hat. They enjoyed travelling throughout Canada, the USA, international destinations, and spent a decade of winters in Lake Havasu, where they met many good friends. From the deserts of the Middle East to the streets of Montreal, Pat’s adventurous spirit and curiosity about the world were always evident. Pat enjoyed golfing, curling (watching Canada’s recent win at the Women’s World Curling) playing cards, dominos, and lunches with her birthday club. In 2022, they moved into Masterpiece Southlands where she met many wonderful people who became friends, notably her Canasta and Wist groups, especially Doreen and Germaine. Many thanks to all the staff at Masterpiece, Greg/Anna for keeping her fit, the dining/kitchen staff, Karen/Jun, and Home Care for keeping her healthy with a special thank you to Sky, Sarah and Jen; she loved living there and we know she was loved. Thank you to the nurses on 5 West, especially to Fran and Ali for the haircut! Thank you to Dr. Scholtz and all the doctors involved in her stay, especially to the excellent care that Dr. Cathy Horsman gave our parents since 1997. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Pat’s name may be made to Halo Air Ambulance. A celebration of life will be held in May, with an announcement to follow. May she rest in eternal peace.

DARLENE BERGREN

DARLENE BERGREN 1952 ~ 2025 Darlene Gladys Bergren, beloved wife of Doug Bergren, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 24, 2025, at the age of 72 years. She also leaves to cherish her memory two children Kim (Jimmy), Jennifer (Stephen); her grandchildren Cade, Connor and Kara; great grandchildren Penelope, Alister and Blake; her second mother-in-law Bev Bergren; her grand-puppies Webster and Oliver; her siblings: Ray (Kathy), Earl, Jim (Violet) Leonard (Anne), Shirley (Ron), Blanche (Larry), Linda (Ron), Bev and Hazel (Colin) as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Stephen and Victoria Pottle and second father-in-law Eric; her siblings: Florence, Alice, Agnes, Ivy, Joan, Gordon, Fred, Norman, Gilbert, Stephen and Ernest; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Evelyn, Edna, Olive, Lorraine, Darlene, Ole, Lyle, Ernest, Harvey, Larry and Chuck. Darlene came from humble beginnings in Preeceville, Saskatchewan and worked hard her entire life for everything she obtained. Full of determination and drive Darlene put herself through college for accounting, all while being a young expectant mother. That is true grit. She was generous, and compassionate; freely giving of her time and comforting presence to others through her palliative care volunteer work. Darlene was involved with Oil Wives and Desk and Derrick Clubs for 29 years. Even becoming Regional Director of Desk and Derrick at one point. Those ladies travelled, laughed and had so many adventures it could fill volumes. She was extremely funny and rarely passed up an opportunity to make you smile or laugh. I think she was fuelled by laughter. A natural artist she painted gorgeous ornaments and was even a self-taught musician. The consummate hostess, Darlene and Doug loved entertaining friends and family. She thrived on travelling and took every chance given to enjoy Mexico with Doug. The only thing more beautiful than the Mexican sunset was the smile on her face as she spoke of it. Her final words were “do you need anything?” Which was indicative of her generous nature and her need to take care of her loved ones. This uniquely amazing woman was deeply loved, and we are grateful to have received this precious gift from God. We miss and love you, Darlene. You can now rest peacefully. The Celebration of her Life will be held in PATTISON FUNERAL HOME & CELEBRATION OF LIFE CENTRE on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. with Life Celabrant Pat Grisonich officiating. The service will be live streamed. Those who wish to attend virtually, please visit Darlene’s obituary page on our website, for the link. Those who wish to remember Darlene with a donation, may do so to the Medicine Hat Kidney Care Centre, Medicine Hat Regional Hospital. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the ICU staff at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital and the staff at St. Joseph’s Home for their exceptional care and compassion.
