Gordon John Voth passed away suddenly on a very sad day, May 26, 2022 at the age of 81.

He was born on October 5th, 1940 in Grande Prairie, AB, to Henry and Jean Voth. 

Gordon held many important roles, but most importantly he was our husband, dad, grandpa, father-in-law, brother, son, and friend. He will forever be in our hearts and
remembered for being “Gordon”; those that knew him truly understand what that means and smile!

Gordon was a longtime resident of Sherwood Park, AB, were he resided with his family and was an active member of his community. After his retirement as CEO of Northwest Health for 8 years in High Level, Gordon and Dianne returned to Sherwood Park. Retirement did not slow down Gordon and he could be found on the golf course, in his garden, seniors coffee hour at the local Timmies, or going on travel adventures with his best friend, Dianne. 

Gordon became the president of SUN (Seniors United Now) and also was part of many church committees. He enjoyed working with his church community of St Thomas Anglican Church.
 
Gordon’s wife, Diane, will miss him dearly, as will his two children, Teresa and Chris, and their spouses Markus and Kathy. The grandkids, Alex and Josie, who spent many hours with their grandpa, are losing a great friend and advisor. Linda (John), Annie (Bob), Ken (Nancy), and Vernon are the brothers and sisters who are losing a person who was
always there and always cared.

FIELHABER, MAE JULIE (nee TINNEY)
August 14, 1930 – May 23, 2022

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Mae Julie Fielhaber at the age of 91.

She will be missed by her daughter Lynne (Gord), sons Vann (Carmen) and David. Beloved Granny Mae to Kailey, Dana, Eric, Julianne and Luc. Great Granny Mae to Jordyn, Noah, Joshua, Charlie, Desmond, Hazel and Watson. Sister Doris Kulak, brothers-in-law and sisters in law and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mae was predeceased by husband Arthur Fielhaber in 1985, parents John and Clara Tinney and seven siblings.

Mae grew up on the family farm in the Highvale area. She spent time in Fort St. John and Calgary before raising her family in Stony Plain, Evansburg and Edmonton. Once retiring from 25 years with Safeway, Mae returned to Stony Plain.

Mae enjoyed travelling and spending time at David’s acreage. She loved gardening, finding four leaf clovers, reading and puzzles. We will fondly remember the sparkle in her eyes, joy of an adventure, and the love and pride of family. May she Rest In Peace and finally be able to go home.

Special thank you to the caregivers and staff at The Good Samaritan Care Centre in Stony Plain for the compassion and care you gave our mother during her struggle with dementia. In keeping with Mae’s wishes there will be no funeral. The family will have a private celebration of life at a later date.

It is with profound sadness that we announce that our beloved mother, sister, aunt and wife Anne Schuurmans passed away on May 17, 2022 at the age of 79 years. Anne and her twin Marie were born in West Mabou, Nova Scotia, to parents Finley and Mary Anne (MacDonell) Beaton, the youngest of 7 siblings. Anne was predeceased by her parents; brothers Fr. Angus Beaton, John Beaton, and Malcolm “Mack” Beaton; sister Jenny; brother-in-law Stanley MacNeil; and sisters-in-law Josepha Beaton and Doreen Beaton.

Anne is lovingly remembered by Rudy, her husband of 46 years; her children Anke (Robert) Banks of Calgary and Angus (Jennifer Babuik) Schuurmans of Edmonton; her grandchildren Oliver and Joshua Banks of Calgary; her brother Roderick “Roddie” Beaton of Halifax; and her twin Marie (Owen) Cameron of West Mabou. She is survived by nephews Alec and Angus MacNeil, Gord Beaton, Derrick and Geoffrey Cameron, and Stephen Beaton; and nieces Betty Ann MacQuarrie, Genevieve Beaton, Denice Fryer-Lalande, and Alisha MacLellan.

In their early years, Anne and her twin were inseparable with one often passing for the other. They loved going to the beach and to local square dances. In her 20s, Anne left Cape Breton to complete her nursing training at the Halifax Infirmary and went on to nurse in many places including Halifax, Toronto, and Calgary. While living in Halifax, Anne met Rudy. They married on Aug. 21, 1976 and moved out west, first living in Calgary then Hay Lakes, Alberta where they had their children. They returned to Beaverbank, Nova Scotia for 7 years before moving back to Edmonton where they spent the rest of their lives.

Anne was a warm, kind, caring woman with a love of East Coast music and a good game of cards. She was never too busy for a chat and touched all who met her with her friendly spirit and thoughtfulness. She loved being a nurse and truly found her calling in the latter part of her career when she worked as a long-term care nurse at the Good Samaritan Dr. Gerald Zetter Care Centre and St. Joseph’s Auxiliary Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta.

Although her memory failed her in her final years, Anne’s gentle manner continued. The family would like to sincerely thank AgeCare South Terrace for their care of Anne over the past 3 years.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday May 31 at 11 a.m. at St. Thomas More Parish, 210 Haddow Close NW, Edmonton. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta.

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Erin. She loved a quiet evening with friends or a boisterous weekend with family. Camp out stories will be forever
remembered by all who heard them.

Erin learned to enjoy travel at an early age when she went to Europe on a school vacation. This was the start of many out-of-country adventures, including the Philippines and the Caribbean.

Erin loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals for her family and friends. Her charismatic personality was evident in many adventures in sales, from
cocktails to the jewel trade to homes.

Erin had the ability to adapt to any situation and everything she tried was done with vigour, from marathons to modelling.

Cremation has taken place. Everyone who remembers her is asked to celebrate Erin’s life in their own way. Raise a glass of your favourite drink in her memory.

Instead of flowers, the family would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some appreciative soul in Erin’s name.
