January 7, 1962 – March 13, 2016

Sharie Delene Cousins-Markle, born January 7, 1962, in Fort St. John, BC, died peacefully after her third and very hard battle with breast cancer, on Sunday, March 13, 2016 in Claresholm, Alberta.

Sharie leaves behind her husband Collin Markle, step-children Claire and Logan; parents Kay and Orvan Cousins; sister Sandy (Steve) Hiebert, nephew Shayden, niece Staysha, and many much-loved cousins, aunts and uncles.

Sharie cherished life, family, friends, learning and teaching. After high school, she attended Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute in Camrose. In 1985, determined to obtain a career as a Fish and Wildlife Officer, she attended Lakeland College and then Lethbridge College. In 1989 she achieved her dream career as the second female Fish and Wildlife Officer in Alberta, working first in the Crowsnest Pass and then in Lethbridge. In 2001 Sharie left the Fish and Wildlife Division to teach future Fish and Wildlife officers at Lethbridge College. While teaching and battling cancer, Sharie attained her Masters Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of the Fraser Valley. Along with a strong devotion to her career, Sharie gave much of her time and talents to a variety of activities such as cowboy poetry, dragon boat racing, rock hounding, camping, horse riding/packing, and playing leadership roles in many student and faculty clubs and events. Her artistic talents were endless; she enjoyed bird carving, beading, painting, lapidary, photography, and so much more. Music also played a huge part in Sharie’s life; she played the piano and organ as a youngster, then for her first job, and then at the Peace Lutheran Church where she and Collin attended.

Sharie was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, cousin, auntie, and friend. She touched the lives of every person she spoke to and made friends everywhere she went. She will be deeply missed.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Claresholm Community Centre (corner of 8th Street and 59th Avenue West, Claresholm) on Saturday, March 26, 2016 at 2:00 pm.

It is with great sadness that our family shares the loss of JUNE ‘CAROLE’ MCFALLS who passed away at home in Lethbridge, AB on Sunday March 13, 2016.

Carole is survived by her three children: David (Linda) McFalls of Lethbridge, Mark (Christine) McFalls of Ottawa, and Carole Anne (Dean) Oikawa of Lethbridge. She also leaves to mourn her sister Margaret Heighton, three grandchildren, Lindsay McFalls (Dale Lawson), Justin McFalls (Malina Bird), Samantha Vanderleek, and one great grandchild, Kayson-Dale Lawson, as well as many nieces and nephews who were very close to her heart.

Carole was predeceased by her husband Richard, her sister Maureen Crowder, her brother David Elder, and her parents, Leslie and Margaret Elder.

Carole was born on December 21, 1939 in Belfast, Northern Ireland and, along with her parents and siblings, immigrated to Canada in 1947. With her father, the Reverend Leslie Elder officiating, Carole and Richard were married in 1960. They eventually settled in London, Ontario where they raised their family. In 1969, they began volunteering with the Children’s Aid Society and, over the next 30 years, were Foster Parents to close to 200 infants and toddlers. This continued until 2001 when Richard’s life was tragically taken as a result of a car accident. Carole, who was critically injured in the same accident, never fully recovered but stubbornly persevered and lived life fully until the time of her passing.

Carole was a passionate Toronto Maple Leafs fan and spent many nights in front of the TV draped in her Leafs gear cheering them on. She loved to ‘hate’ the Canadiens, despite her husband being one of their biggest fans!

A service will be held in London, Ontario at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association or another charity of choice.
