Clifford William George Smith was born on November 13, 1968 in Marys Harbour, NF and passed away, with his wife at his side holding his hand, on October 16, 2022 at University of Alberta Hospital.

Cliff was a kind hearted, loving man and loyal husband. He had a heart of gold and was often helping single moms in need. He had a serious soft spot for dogs and loved his dog Toni like a child.

As Cliff wanted there will not be any service to commemorate his death. Cliff would rather you all remember him in your own way and to smile when you think of him. Should anyone wish to do something to show their respects in a more physical way, please make a donation in his name at your local animal shelter or to a place that helps single moms in crisis.

Cliffs parents are both predeceased.

Left to mourn this huge loss are his wife (Trish), his three siblings, and an arsenal of friends and family that will miss him deeply.

Cliffy, you’ve left an unfillable void and you will be deeply missed beyond what words can express. You were loved by many!

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of a proud husband, father, brother, nino, uncle and friend. He fiercely loved those closest to him.

Lloyd was born in Fort Smith and lived many years in the Northwest Territories. He and his wife, Graciela (née Oliver Nuñez), chose Beaumont, Alberta as the place to raise their children, Marcela and Michael. After losing his hearing unexpectedly in his forties, Lloyd decided to work toward his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta. One of his daughter’s fondest memories is meeting on campus as they both
pursued their studies. After graduating, he became a Professional Engineer, one of his proudest achievements.

Lloyd loved traveling with his wife, enjoying beautiful experiences together across
several countries and making friends along the way. He also loved playing golf, especially with his son, gathering closest family for meals and celebrations, sharing jokes and
laughter, and caring for the family’s pets.

He believed in giving back to the community. From receiving a “Heart of Gold” award sponsored by Air Canada and the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, to
traveling across North America to promote careers in STEM to Indigenous youth, his support of organizations and people made a difference and remains part of his legacy.

As per Lloyd’s wishes, immediate family held a private event to honour him.

While his family grieves the loss of his physical presence in their lives, they take comfort in knowing he lives on in the beauty that surrounds and embraces them.

“He is always in our hearts.”

As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made in Lloyd’s honour to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or any animal rescue.

Kirk, together with his wife, raised six children and over the years his family expanded to include nine grandchildren and many beloved dogs. Kirk considered himself the richest man in the world because of the love of his family and friends and his most cherished memories were made spending time with those he loved.

Kirk is predeceased by his parents Janet and Fred, and his sister Kim. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Clara, their six boys; James (Carolynn), Steve (Susie), Adam (Kristen), Justin, Michael (Laura), and Daniel (Amanda), and grandchildren; Austin, Abigail, Noah, Jacqueline, Elizabeth, Henry, Tyler G., Brooklyn, and Tyler J.

OBITUARY: PATRICIA MAY BELL (Patsy)
(nee Stringer)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Patricia May Bell of Sherwood Park, Alberta, on October 3, 2022 at Rivercrest Hospice, Fort Saskatchewan Alberta.

She was born on April 21, 1934, to George and Edith Stringer, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The family moved to Vancouver, where she lived until she married Donald Edward Bell in 1954.

She moved to Ardrossan, Alberta with Don, where she lived for 57 years. Together they raised their family, farmed with Don’s family, and were actively involved in the community.

She had five children: Eileen, Alexander, Susan, Jean, and Douglas.

Education was always very important to her, so when all her children were in school, she went back herself and finished high school. She then graduated from Grant MacEwan College.

She worked for Imperial Oil as a library tech until she retired. Then she worked in the library at the Grey Nun’s Hospital for a number of years. Finally, she retired again, even though they desperately wanted her to stay.

After her final retirement, she took courses at the University of Alberta that included Middle Eastern religion and culture, and Indigenous studies, because she wanted to better understand how life is for people with a variety of backgrounds and lived experiences.

She loved music, and was a member of the Sherard Musical Theatre in Sherwood Park for a number of years, performing at Sherwood Park’s Festival Place and at the Fringe Festival. She and Don had season’s tickets to the Edmonton Symphony, and in the last five years of her life, she never missed a performance of her grandson Sam with the Kokopelli Choir.

She loved to travel, curled most of her life, and loved the Edmonton Oilers passionately. She was also passionate about the province of Alberta, and was politically active right to the end of her life.

Patricia is survived by her children Eileen (Harold), Susan (Joe), Jean (Tony) and Doug (Charlene),; her grandchildren Jon, Jessica, Donald, Alexander, Nicholas, Mitchell, Sean, and Samuel; and her great grandchildren Rosie, Lucy, Sacha and Nico.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, her son Alexander, her great-grandchild Sera, and her husband, Don in 2010.

Funeral services will be October 15, 2022, 2 PM, at the Salisbury United Church, 2 Mission Street, Sherwood Park, Alberta, with Britt Aerhart officiating.

Please join us for light refreshments after the service. Interment will follow at 4 PM at the Cloverbar Cemetery, 2025 Yellowhead Trail, Edmonton.

On Monday, September 19, 2022, Lloyd Edward Wright passed away at the age of 80. He was at home surrounded by his loving family.

Above all else, Lloyd loved his family and friends; especially spending time with his grandchildren. He was their biggest
supporter; whether it was hockey, softball, soccer, football, 4H, school, Christmas
concerts, fishing trips, or advice. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing. He was always up for an adventure. Lloyd was a die-hard Roughriders and Blue Jays fan. Lloyd, who was born in Saskatchewan, had a long career with Transport Canada/NavCanada in Regina, Cambridge Bay and Edmonton. In his retirement, he was always busy with many projects and travels but always had time to lend a hand and spend quality time with family and friends. He was a member of the Legion for the last 54 years and a 49-year member with the ANAVETS. Lloyd was a competitive curler participating in Provincial and National bonspiels as well as golf tournaments.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Karen; daughters Tanis (Warde), Beverly (Jeff), Susan (Darcy), Susie, and Jodi (Darrel); his cherished grandchildren Darren, Nick, Will, Camila, Emma, Paige, Jackson, and Samuel; brothers Harley (Lynn), Aron (Colleen), and Jim (Shawna), and sister Barbara Ann and their families; his Arctic brothers and sisters and their families; and numerous friends and colleagues. Lloyd was predeceased by his wife of 42 years Dora, parents Peter and Dorothy, and brothers Peter, Dick and Wade.

An intimate service of life has been held with immediate family members. Family and friends are invited to a Celebration Of Life on Saturday October 8, 2022 to share fond memories and celebrate his life. Please contact the family for details.
