Jeanette Bareman
1957 – 2017
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. Psalm 84:5
On Tuesday, March 28, 2017, the Lord, in His infinite wisdom and time called unto Himself, Jeanette Bareman, our wife, sister, mother and oma, at the age of 59 years.
A private burial service will be held at the Prairieview Cemetery, Grassy Lake prior to the funeral service.
The Funeral Service will be held at the First Christian Reformed Church, 3902 Heritage Drive, Taber on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at 1:00 P.M. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com.
She is survived by her loving husband Marion and their six children James and Andrea Bareman and their family Megan, Blake, Cade, Mason and Allie; Jordan and Marie-Louise Bareman and their family Cohen, Ian, Shane and Joni; Julia Bareman; Patrick and Amanda Harthoorn; Neil Bareman; Dean Bareman. She will also be fondly remembered by her extended family.
She was predeceased by her young son Eric, two sisters and her parents.
Jeanette was born in New Westminster, British Columbia to Jelle and Janette Vanderveen. She grew up on a farm in the Mud Bay area, the second youngest of six girls. In 1977 she was swept off her feet by a bachelor from Alberta, Marion Bareman and they married in November of 1979. They moved back to Alberta in the spring of 1981 to farm south of Grassy Lake with Marion’s father and brother. They were blest with seven children.
Later on in life, mom surprised us with many new ventures, kayaking, scuba diving and even taking over Wood Travel when they moved off the farm. She adored her grandkids and was proud to take them all camping every summer. She loved to host and serve her brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Mom spent her last few days at home in peace surrounded by loved ones.
If friends so desire, memorial tribute’s in Jeanette’s name may be made directly to Rehoboth Christian Ministries, Box 1312, Coaldale, AB T1M 1N1 (http://www.rehoboth.ab.ca). Please designate your donation for the Rehoboth Summer Camp.

Ona Gayle
(nee Champney, nee Smyke)
Dunbrack
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Ona Gayle (Champney) (Smyke) Dunbrack. Ona was born in 1939 to Arnold and Ethel Champney and passed away March 26, 2017.
Ona was raised on a farm outside of Fort McLeod, Alberta near the small town of Orton with her three siblings Rita Binning (deceased), Arlene Litchfield and Lauchie Champney.
Ona Gayle is predeceased by her first husband (Buddy) Bud Smyke of Lundbreck, AB. Ona was lucky enough to remarry to Lloyd Dunbrack of Pincher Creek, AB who passed away in 1998. Bud and Ona’s children are: Crystal Smyke, Byron (Roxanne) Smyke, Kerry (Dawn Heerschap) Smyke, and Klayton Smyke; Ona’s grandchildren are: Carleen, Nikki, Rayne, Jess, Alisa, Blaise, Joel, Dezmon, Kaiden, and Aaryn Smyke, and Kyla, Katie and Kataya McClung
Ona was a “Tupperware” Manager for 29 years and enjoyed her job to the fullest. Ona’s love for her family was of the upmost importance as her family was her life. She loved gardening and would often be found “out admiring my kingdom”. Ona had a way about her that would always put a smile on your face. She loved music and dancing or, as she would say, “cutting a rug”. When she wasn’t spending time with her family or gardening, she could be found in her craft room sewing, painting ceramics, making dolls, quilting, and much more.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects from 10:00 am until 10:45 am, at the funeral service being held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (1240 Wentworth Avenue, Pincher Creek) on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place at the Orton Cemetery.
