MIKE ROBERT SEHN

MIKE ROBERT SEHN March 5, 1935 April 13, 2025
It is with profound sadness that the family of Mike Robert Sehn announces his passing on April 13, 2025, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Born in St. Walburg, Saskatchewan, on March 5, 1935, to Linus and Frances Sehn. Mike lived a life rich in family, faith, and the joy of creation. Mike’s life was a testament to hard work, unwavering dedication, and a deep love for his family.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 68 years, Violet, and their children: Bryan Sehn, Carmen (Dave) Both, Jody (Rod) Hazard, Janice Johnson, and Calvin (Jodi) Sehn. He leaves behind eight cherished grandchildren: Kyle Both, Brandon (Shannon) Hazard, Tanis Hazard, Justin Hazard, Jaylaine Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Karissa Sehn, and Brayden Sehn; and eight great-grandchildren who he spoke about with pride and happiness. He is also survived by his brother, Ed Sehn.
Mike’s early years instilled in him a strong work ethic and a remarkable talent for building and creating. This aptitude served him well throughout his life, whether he was honing his welding skills at Joyline Transport in Medicine Hat (where he moved with his young family in 1967) or fulfilling his entrepreneurial spirit by establishing his own successful business, “Mike’s Welding,” in Redcliff, Alberta. His creativity extended beyond the workplace; he found immense satisfaction in tending his garden and crafting beautiful and functional items, reflecting both skill and love. Mike’s life was marked by his infectious sense of humor, his captivating storytelling, and his deep connection to nature and his beloved dogs. He cherished visits with family and friends, sharing his countless anecdotes and creating lasting memories. He found solace and peace in tending his garden, observing wildlife, and appreciating the simple beauty of the natural world. His sociable spirit was a constant; he genuinely loved sharing in the lives of those around him. His faith was a cornerstone of Mike’s life. A devout Catholic, his deep faith provided him comfort and peace, particularly during his final years, supported by the loving care of those around him.
He is predeceased by his firstborn child, Kim Sehn; his parents, Linus and Frances Sehn; and his brothers, Tim Sehn and Nick Sehn.
Mike’s legacy will endure through the countless lives he touched. His memory will be a source of comfort to all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.
The family will have a private service.

ANNE SCHEUER (NÉE DENIS)

1924 ~ ANNE SCHEUER (NÉE DENIS) ~ 2025
With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce that Anne Scheuer (née Denis) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, in Medicine Hat, Alberta at the age of 100 years. Anne will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Charlotte; her grandchildren, Sharon (Steve), Stefan (Heather), Vincent; and her great grandchildren, Natalie, Isabel and Lacey; as well as many cherished and deeply loved nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and extended family. Anne was predeceased by her husband, William “Bill” Scheuer; parents, Valentine Jr. and Barbara Denis; sister, Marjorie “Marge” Gunderson; and son-in-law, Edwin. Anne was also preceded by her beloved pets; their fun and loyal presence will always be part of the family’s fondest memories. Anne was born on August 17, 1924, in Prelate, Saskatchewan. Her parents dotingly brought Anne home to the family farm just east of Fox Valley, Saskatchewan. Some of her early years saw the family move across the Prairies – briefly to Onoway, Alberta and Beiseker, Alberta, and eventually back to Fox Valley. At just 18, in the midst of WWII, Anne set off on her own to Taber, Alberta, where she worked at Ken Howe & Co. Hardware and lived with her Aunt Maggie, Uncle Joe, and cousins. Three years later, she moved to Medicine Hat to live with her father and sister, where she worked at Black’s Hardware. Fate stepped in at a dance, where a dear friend, Emma, introduced Anne to Bill. Their romance blossomed, and they were married a few years later on September 10, 1949. Anne and Bill built their life together in Medicine Hat; first on 7th Avenue where they both lovingly welcomed their daughter, Charlotte, in August 1956, and later in their new family forever home on Bullivant Crescent, built in 1957. Life in Medicine Hat carried on for Anne and her family with several successful businesses in auto repair, tractors and implements, fuel, and other similar interests. After selling their garage business, Anne and Bill acquired a mixed farm and other lands in the area which included a respectable hog operation and growing a sprawling garden. Retirement brought even more joy, as Anne and Bill bought a cabin in Elkwater, spent time fishing, and explored new places through travel. As a couple, they took up golfing, becoming members of both the Medicine Hat and Elkwater Golf Clubs. It didn’t take long for Anne to develop a “healthy” addiction to golf…even on TV with many strokes tallied across many at-home scorecards, she kept quite a tally of all the top players throughout the years. What a golf-a-holic. Anne had always been very sporty in her earlier years and also became an avid bowler in later life – easily making new friends and filling up her mantle with bowling hardware. Music was Anne’s prized spice of life and a special medicine for whatever her day brought her. Big band was her favourite genre. Anne was well versed in all thing’s music, and although not an expert player on one particular instrument, Anne enjoyed learning all she could and kept up with the area orchestras that she and Bill were a part of. Anne was a wonderful entertainer, known for her charisma, her love of cooking and baking (especially meals on-the-fly for everyone who came by), and she was always up for a game of cards or competitive game of Yahtzee. Anne and Bill’s welcoming and open door was world renowned. The good times rolled, and amazing memories were made from the moment you rang the doorbell! Anne will be remembered for her humour and jokes, sensibility, practical nature, strong work ethic, and her commitment to family and friends. A very sincere thank-you and our deepest gratitude to those who provided their very best compassionate care for Anne in her final chapters of life. Your gracious efforts and humility will not be forgotten. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at the Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel, #1 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta for a first viewing on Friday, April 25, 2025, from 7-9pm, and a second viewing on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 1:30-2:25pm. The Funeral service will be held at Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel, #1 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 2:30-3:30pm. Interment will follow at the family plot at the Hillside Cemetery.
