Moe spent his youth on the farm near Camrose and later moved to Edmonton. Moe and Gloria were married in Camrose, lived briefly in Prince Rupert, and settled the family in Lethbridge where he spent his days working hard, playing hard, loving life with his family, and camping and fishing when he could.
Throughout his life, Moe loved his mini schnauzer companions and formed countless friendships and acquaintances. If you wanted to engage in a lively conversation, he was the person to turn to. Moe’s last months were supported by the dedicated nurses at Chinook Regional Hospital and we thank them and all his friends and family who have been keeping him company. He defied the odds, enduring more than most over the last 2 years due to the unwavering love and care of his soulmate Gloria.
Moe’s memory will be cherished by all those who knew him. His impact on the lives he touched will be remembered fondly and with gratitude. He leaves behind a legacy of connections, conversations, and the warmth of his spirit.

GRIER, Ashley Ashley Mae Grier Anataakii – Pretty Woman February 18, 1987 – September 1, 2023 It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved Ashley was called home by the Creator at the age of 36, on Friday, September 1, 2023, at the Chinook Regional Hospital, in Lethbridge, AB.
Ashley was born on February 18, 1987, at the Fort Macleod Hospital, to Marcella Grier and the Late Leonard Little Bear. Ashley is a member of the Piikani Nation, belonging to the proud Grier and Bastien Families. For a large portion of her youth, she was raised on the Blood Reserve in the Farm Four area, alongside her brothers, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and numerous relatives of her Little Bear Family.
Through her paternal family the Little Bears, Ashley comes from a rich heritage that is deeply connected to the Traditional Blackfoot way of life. Her grandparents, Edward and Ruth held the Sacred Thunder Pipe Bundle, and she had numerous relatives who were and are currently members of the Sacred Societies of the Blackfoot Big Circle Camp “Akokatsin” (ah-go-got-sin). Ashley’s brother, Bill, and his wife, Miracle, are a Sundance Man and Sundance Woman who have completed two Okan’s and held Ashley deep in prayers.
Ashley also comes from a rich heritage of western horsemanship and cattlemen from her maternal families the Griers and the Bastiens. Through her families, the Griers and the Little Bears, she inherited a deep connection to God not only through her Blackfoot Traditions but also through the Catholic faith, her grandfather Edward Little Bear was a Deacon to the Catholic Church and her aunt Beverly passed on to her a deep love for The Holy Rosaries. Ashley knew the Holy Rosaries by memory and would often recite them.
In her school days Ashley enjoyed drawing and playing basketball. She always had a love for music, and you can often hear her singing. Ashley was a beautiful woman, a carefree and wild spirit who lived a life without limits and had a soft and kind heart, she loved fiercely and cared deeply for her friends and family. With her, life was always an adventure. There are no words that can adequately express the depth of our sorrow, we will miss her dearly.

SANTONI, Denise SANTONI DENISE MICHELLE SANTONI, of Moose Jaw, passed away peacefully at Chateau St. Michael’s in Moose Jaw, SK on Friday, August 11, 2023 at the age of 54 years. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
Denise is survived by her husband Michael Santoni; mother Maureen Paice; children Taylor Budd (Alex), Kelsey Paton, Ava, Vivviana, and Danilo Santoni; brothers Roddy and Derick, best friend Donna Paul; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She is predeceased by her father Gordon Paice; grandparents Gerald and Martha Johnson, Jack and Bessie Paice; uncle Howie Paice; and father and mother-in-law, Danny and Barb Santoni.
Occupational Therapy was Denise’s profession, but also her vocation. “If this is all you’ve got, what can we do with it?” and “What do YOU need to achieve?” were two mantras that lead her through life. Denise relocated to Lethbridge in October of 2022 as part of her role as the Director of Allied Health for Southern Alberta. In this position, she was able to reach many people and make positive impacts in many areas of AHS. She was also an active member of her childrens’ school and sport/activity management boards and used her professional skills to benefit her community often.
Denise remained in Lethbridge until recently, when she decided to come back home to Moose Jaw in April 2023, after being diagnosed with MSA (Multiple System Atrophy), in June 2022.
She was surrounded by many friends and family here until her final days. Denise bravely made the choice to contact Medical Assistance in Dying and she died peacefully and with dignity.
She will be forever remembered in our hearts as the strong, courageous, and especially kind women she was.
Denise will always be remembered for her contagious laugh that could fill up a room.
A Celebration of Denise’s Life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M., with a short service at 3:00 P.M.
