CLARA ZUGO (DAY CHIEF)
O¹takapinaakii² (Round Eyes)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sister, mother, auntie, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend Clara. She passed away peacefully in her home at the age of 64. Clara was born to the late Alex Sr. & Susie Hunt in Cardston, Alberta. She attended St. Paul¹s Residential school where she later met her first love Francis Red Crow wtih whom she had their three daughters. After his passing she then attended Lethbridge College to further her education. Once completed, she enrolled with the Health Care Institute of Learning and graduated with her Personal Care Attendant Certificate where she later went on to work with Grey stokes. During this time she met the love of her life Francis Zugo who she later married. They resided in Lethbridge until his passing where they raised their grandchildren together. Grandma was an avid home maker she enjoyed sewing, beading, crocheting, embroidering, and liked attending every powwow she could. She was very proud of her spirituality and cultural background. Clara loved to Sundance; she danced for 10 years with the North-End Sun dancer¹s. She always made an effort to attend all the sweats and night lodges to pray for her family and friends.
Clara was a 17 year survivor of Breast Cancer. She wanted to help bring awareness and a positive message to all those who were fighting cancer. She had no trouble recalling how she felt when she got her diagnosis. After a 6 month period of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy she overcame the cancer and took it upon herself to help find a cure. In October, 2007 Clara spearheaded an annual fundraiser called ³Celebration of Cancer Survivorship², with the help of her siblings, to raise money and awareness on the Blood Reserve. She took great pride from the outcome of the support that came from the community. She was very grateful to everyone who helped and supported her in her cause. Her message was ³I would like the people to open their eyes and keep on fighting for their lives. It¹s a tough road but we have to keep fighting². Clara has left behind her daughters Pearline, Lisa, and Raecine, and her son Louis, her grandchildren Anh, Binh, Keith, Carmen (Fabian), Illdiko, Minh, Martina, Lucas, Jolissa, Sunshine, and Montana and her great grandchildren Kellita, Alia, Azarah, Karter, Kasey Jr, Daylin, and Kalaya.

He graduated from Henry Wise Wood High School in Calgary, the University of Calgary, and Gonzaga University (Master of Arts in Administration and Curriculum). His work included a variety of management positions, and computer sales, with his last job being with the Social Securities Tribunal. The most important thing in Bill¹s life was his family. On November 8, 1996, Bill received the most precious gift of another chance at life when he was given a heart transplant. Because of the selfless generosity of the donor and his family, Bill was able to see both of his children graduate from university, grow into adults, marry their best friends, and become parents themselves. Bill also saw all four of his grandchildren born, held them, and watched them grow. These children were the light of his life, and his favorite legacy. Another cornerstone in Bill¹s life was to be of service. In that respect, he was deeply involved with Scouts Canada, Rotary, the Freemasons, Fifth on Fifth Youth Services, and was politically active. He made amazing connections with people in all areas of his life, and was a positive influence to those whose lives he touched with his knowledge, support, and distinctive sense of humour. It is that humour that most will remember him by. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, November 22, 2014, at 1:00 pm at Southminster United Church, 1011-4 Ave. S., Lethbridge, AB, with a reception to follow.
