It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Scott Johnson at the age of 63 years following his battle with cancer.

He is lovingly remembered by his son Trent, brother Kim (Darlene), sister Jamie (Ed), numerous relatives, nieces, nephew and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Stan and Catherine Johnson.

Scott had a long successful career as a machinist. He was a thoughtful, kind man who was generous with his time and known to lend a hand. He enjoyed a good laugh and swap a story or two with friends, chat with neighbors, garden, he loved his vehicles (favorite was his 280z 2+2) and to spend time with his son and their dog.

The family would like to thank all the health care providers for their compassionate care in his final days.

At Scott’s request there will not be a service. He did not want us to grieve for him, instead, he asked we remember the good times and raise a glass in his memory.

A small private function will be held in his honour.

In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or the charity of your choice.

On June 8th, 2021 Doreen Yvonne Fiddler peacefully passed away at the age of 88 years in Edmonton, Alberta.

Doreen was born on a nice spring day, April 21st, 1933 in Pierceland, Saskatchewan. She was the third child of Maggie and Fred Fiddler. The family moved to Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan after her father passed in the fall of 1942. Doreen and her older sister Irene helped raise the four younger kids while mom and older brother Lucien worked to provide for the family. Grandpa and grandma Fiddler lived next door to their 1 acre homestead. They lived in a single room shack, so Grandpa Fiddler built onto it.

When Doreen was about fifteen, she got her first job as a waitress in the local hotel. Had her first child in 1954 and her life as a mother began. She went on to have six more children over the next twelve years. She stayed home to raise them. Her home held plenty of family gatherings. Doreen would make the best bannock & hamburger soup (aka hangover soup). Everyone looked forward to her cooking and would stop in on the regular, knowing Doreen would have fresh bannock on the counter.

As the years went on, she enjoyed playing bingo. Never went to bingo alone. Always with a sister, her son a few times or her only daughter Brenda. Hosted many a game of cards (gin) with siblings, children, nieces and nephews. Loved going to Sunday Mass.

Left to mourn her loss are her three sisters Norma, Alma, Darlene and her brother Robert. 19 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews. An abundance of close friends that were considered family.

Predeceased by her loving mother Margaret Laliberte, father Fred Fiddler. Siblings Gloria, Delores, Irene, Lucien, Sonny Boy (Fred), Joseph (cheejoe) and grandson Junior.

The family would like to thank the unit 3C staff at Dickinsfield Care Centre for taking such wonderful care of our mother.

At the request of Doreen there will be no services or celebration of life. However at a later date (yet to be determined) everyone will be invited to escort her ashes to be laid to rest with her mother.

On June 2nd, 2021 Charles (Charlie) John Grant passed away peacefully in Edmonton after recently being diagnosed with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He is survived by his loving family Debbie and Cathy.

Fiona Yvonne Patricia Payne (Chivers) passed peacefully with her brother by her side on May 21, 2021 at Roozen Family Hospice Centre following a lengthy battle with cancer at age 58.

Survived by her mother Pat, brother Paul (Nancy) and sister Karen (Johnny Bell), as well as nieces, nephews, and extended family in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Fiona is predeceased by her father David (2001) and brother Mark (2009).

Her friends who extended love and support won’t be forgotten.

Fiona served with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires providing security at various sites throughout Edmonton until 2018.

Fiona enjoyed quilting, knitting and cross stitch. Her gifts will continue to bring warmth and comfort to her loved ones for years to come.

Patrick often shared that his daughter is his entire world, thru memory videos of their time spent together. Our memories of your stories, FaceTime and videos of you and little Sadie ‘lady bug’ will be cherished memories.

Patrick was born in New Orleans moving to Niagara Falls Canada where he spent most of his childhood and early teens with family and close friends.

Patrick settled in Western Canada where he worked as a cook and eventually advancing as Chef on the oil rigs. He had quite a passion for cooking.

Patrick enjoyed playing guitar, listening to music, and loved hockey and football.

Patrick will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Patrick’s family meant the world to him. He would often talk about his Irish roots and how proud he was of his family especially his cousins who he kept in touch with on a regular basis to wish us well and keep us updated with his life as a father. We will miss his long talks about memories of his Mom who he missed dearly. He often said that Sadie is just like his Mom, and that made him proud.

Patrick’s friends describe him as kind, generous and a very awesome person to talk with, he really loved his family and his friends. Adding that Patrick was a guy you could message or call and talk with about absolutely anything, to alot of people he was like a brother. He was and will remain one of a kind.

Patrick’s family and childhood friends from the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada mourn Patrick’s sudden departure; a life cut too short, and remember his time spent in his company will forever be cherished.

Patrick has been cremated and funeral arrangements and celebration of his life will be determined at a later date due to Covid pandemic restrictions.
