MALLALIEU

It is with profound sadness that the family of WILLIAM (BILL) MALLALIEU announce his passing on Thursday, January 13, 2022, just shy of his 69th birthday.

After a long battle with heart and kidney disease Bill passed away at Surrey Memorial Hospital with his best friend Monika Doucelin at his side.

Bill was born on January 19, 1953 at St. Michaels in Lethbridge. He was predeceased by his parents Bill and Peggy Mallalieu. He is survived by his siblings Norman and Robert Mallalieu and Monika and his godson Ali. Laven, Yara, Layann and Laith, were also a big part of his life. He did so much for the children, He always had all of them in the car going to swimming, ice-skating lessons, park, or taking them all to school in the morning. In part the kids kept him so occupied that being sick was on the back burner.

Bill attended Sunnyside Elementary and graduated from Kate Andrews High School in Coaldale in 1971. He then went to SAIT in Calgary and graduated with a Culinary Arts diploma in 1973. After working at different hotels in Calgary he went back to Lethbridge to be with our Mom as she was dealing with Cancer. After Mom passed he decided to go to Vancouver and became the night manager at a hotel on Robson Street where he worked for many years. He met Monika in Vancouver and they bought a home together in Surrey. He then was diagnosed with kidney failure and spent the next 5 years on dialysis before getting a kidney transplant. A few years later he developed heart problems and had open heart surgery. He just couldn’t catch a break. He spent the next few years in and out of hospital and eventually his body just gave out.

Bill had an infectious laugh and was also an accomplishment pianist. He will be greatly missed.

PAOLETTI

BENITO PAOLETTI, beloved husband of Esther Paoletti, of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Monday, June 6, 2022 at the age of 82 years.

He was born November 1, 1939, in Buroli, Italy (now Croatia). Benito and his parents ventured across the ocean via ship to finally dock at Pier 21, Halifax, Canada. From here they boarded a train and made their way West to ultimately settle in Lethbridge, AB.

Benito married Esther (Antal) on January 29, 1966, his loving wife of 56 years. Together they raised three beautiful children. Benito is survived by his wife Esther, daughter Katherine (Vittorio), son Roberto (Jodi) and son Richard (Jennifer). He also leaves behind five grandchildren: Cara (Tyson), Isabella, Marco, Oakley, and Jackson. He is predeceased by his parents Giovanni and Caterina Paoletti and granddaughter Kimberly Oliverio.

Benito was a very hard worker and held many skilled jobs until finally finding full time employment with the City of Lethbridge Electric Dept where he retired from in 1999 after 28 years of service. He enjoyed life… from camping, fishing and hunting to gardening, wine making, and traveling and everything in between. He further enjoyed these things with the company of his family and friends. He was very proud of his heritage and helped build the Italian Canadian Hall and was a member until the end. You could follow his boisterous laugh and want to be part of the party, to which he usually shut down. To make his life complete, were his grandchildren, his pride and joy, all of them stealing Nonno’s heart.

A Prayer Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Friday, June 17, 2022 at 7:00 P.M. with Sharon Hagel officiating.
