MR. EDWARD ROY TOMLINSON of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully at St. Michael’s Palliative Care Centre on Wednesday September 30, 2015 at the age of 92 years.

Born at Chestwheel Farm, Summerseat, England in 1923. Roy came to Canada with his family in 1925 where they farmed at Halkirk Alberta. Roy joined the Canadian Armed Forces and served until the end of WWII in 1945. He married Daphne Britt in December 1945. They returned to Canada and farmed the Halkirk District from 1945 to 1974. Together they raised five children and then retired to Lethbridge Alberta, where Roy was very successful in real estate sales for 10 years. Roy had many great years golfing as a member of the Lethbridge Golf & Country Club and later Land of Lakes Golf Club. Roy worked out faithfully at the Lethbridge Fitness Club. Roy and Daphne spent many winters in Morro Bay California where they could continue to golf year round. When they no longer went south they took up bowling in the winter. Roy will be greatly missed by all of his family, friends, and neighbors.

Roy is survived by his children; Barbara (Ian) Watson, Evelyn (Rick) Hamilton, Peter (Brenda) Tomlinson, and Roy (Mona) Tomlinson, daughter in law Peggy Tomlinson, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Roy was predeceased by Daphne, his wife of 65 years, and his eldest son Bill (Peggy) Tomlinson, and his brothers Graham (Ethel) Tomlinson, and Athole (Norma Tomlinson).

As per Roy’s wishes there will not be a funeral service. A private family Interment in the Tomlinson family plot at the Omega Cemetery, Gadsby, AB. will be held at a later date.

SWAILES – LOIS IRENE

LOIS SWAILES, dearly loved wife of the late Ed Swailes, passed away in Lethbridge on October 4, 2015 at the age of 89 years. Lois was born on July 13, 1926 in Saskatchewan, but spent most of her childhood in Picture Butte. Lois was an accomplished pianist, having obtained a teaching certificate from the Royal Conservatory of Music. She graduated from the Galt Hospital School of Nursing in 1949 with the Gold Medal of Proficiency and went on to work as a nurse until her children were born. Lois found the love of her life in Ed and they were married in 1950.

They had three children, Sandy (Tom) in Toronto, Tim (Glenda) and Jeff (Melanie) in Calgary. Lois enjoyed her grandchildren, Janay, Neil, Nolan, Taylor, Sydney and Austin.

We have the greatest admiration for the St. Michael’s palliative teams for the compassionate and excellent care that we received over the last months.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Lois’ many friends for their continued support and visits during her illness. Flowers are gratefully declined. If desired, donations may be made to the Lethbridge Cancer Society. In keeping with Lois’ wishes, no service will be held.
