DAVIS
OLIVE MARINA DAVIS
– Iitspoohkoomiakii
“Calling from Above Womanâ€
June 14th, 1936 –
November 3rd, 2016
It is with profound and deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our beautiful and beloved mother, sister, aunt, grandmother/great grandmother, cousin and friend. Mom made her journey to be with her Lord and Saviour on November 3rd, 2016 at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital.
She was surrounded by her loving children, grandchildren, family and friends. She was born at the Blood Indian Hospital on June 14th, 1936.
She was the eldest child of Edward and Jane Davis, she most recently celebrated her 80th birthday.
Her loss will be most deeply felt by her loving children; Jackie (John), Roxanne, Jarvis, Shannon (Iippii) and her baby; Maria Joy. Also her 3 stepsons; Gerald (Robin) Wells, Eugene (Sharyl) Wells and Howard Wayne (Luigi) Wells, all of Montana, USA. She will also be greatly missed by her precious grandchildren and great grandchildren. All of whom she was so proud of and held each and every one of them so dearly to her heart.
She also leaves behind her siblings; Vivian, Wesley (Jeannie), Thelma and her baby sister Karen, who shares the same birthday as her. It has often been said by Karen that she was the best present that mom (Olive) ever received!
She will also be sadly missed by all of her nieces and nephews, cousins, relatives and so may friends. Olive was predeceased by her parents Edward and Jane Davis, paternal grandparents Charlie and Rosie Davis, maternal grandparents Mary Russell, Tom and Cecille Russell; her sister Jaunita and brother-in-law Evans Melting Tallow, her bothers Wilbert and Chester Davis; her baby Lloyd Davis; her nephew Brendan Brothen and most recently her niece, Anita (Twinks) Melting Tallow.
Mom was our rock! She sacrificed so much for us. She taught us to love God and to show kindness and compassion towards others. She taught us to be humble and forgiving, especially when we didn’t want to be. She often told us never to think we were better than anyone and to treat all with respect. She often told us how proud she was of each of us and she saw us as perfect, even if we were not. When we were small, she always kissed us good night, even if we were asleep. She always had a smile, a hug and a “hello†for everyone.
Her kitchen was always open to family and friends. Her phone was always busy. Her favorite question to her children, grandchildren and friends was, “So, any news?†or “Anything new?†She liked to talk hockey with the boys. She loved Jerome Iginla. She loved Elvis and Freddie Fender. She was cool!
She was “Mom†to many foster children and all of her children’s friends. She loved the Lord and often shared that love with others. She was very proud of the fact that she, along with her friend Don Frantz, produced a DVD of the Bible based on the Book of Luke, which they translated into the Blackfoot language. Their DVD has been distributed far and wide and has led many to the Lord. At the time of her passing they were working on a Blackfoot Dictionary.
Mom your passing has left such a deep void in our hearts that can never be filled. We love you to infinity, but God loves you more, so he took you home.
“Every morning lean thine arms a while
Upon the window sill of heaven
And gaze upon the Lord
Then, with a vision in thy heart,
Turn strong to meet the day.â€

Marlene Salamon
June 4, 1948 – November 7, 2016
It is with great sadness that we say good bye to a wonderful woman: Marlene Ann Salamon of Lethbridge. Marlene passed away days following a heart attack, on November 7, 2016 at the age of 68 years. Marlene bravely battled a lengthy journey with ongoing health problems. She was a terrific mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. Her family was grateful to be able to say their goodbyes, and be there by her side in her peaceful, final moments. Marlene was born in Lethbridge, AB on June 4, 1948. She grew up with her parents and siblings in Northern AB, eventually got married and took on the challenges of homemaker and farm wife. Marlene also was a business woman and entrepreneur. She was a florist and owned her own flower shop for many years. She eventually found herself back in Lethbridge through the years, and there, spent the last moments of her life. Marlene was loved and respected by everyone who knew her. We will remember her as a great listener, honest, hardworking, positive, strong willed woman who touched the hearts of everyone who were fortunate enough to know her. Marlene’s favorite past times were: gardening, baking, crocheting, visiting over coffee, playing cards, and of course, spending countless hours in her beautiful flower gardens. Marlene loved traditions and family get togethers. She welcomed all that came into her home; her door was always open. Marlene was happiest spending time with her grandchildren, which were her most favorite times of the day. Marlene is survived by her five daughters: Nanci Salamon, Karin (Mike) Ewashen, Jenifer (Salvador) Konopelka, Christine (Aaron) Babiak and Kathryn (Scooter) Rollack. She will always live on in the hearts of her grandchildren: Tony (Katie), Emma, Ashlyn, Megan, Austin, Kylie and Carter. Marlene is also survived by her siblings: Irene Cohrs, Emily Thomas, Gerri Kwaznitza, Rudy Salamon, Alice Hargreaves, Darlene Emard, Leona Levins and Marg Kudeba; as well as many nieces and nephews. Her furry friend, Chloe, will also miss her dearly. Marlene is pre-deceased by her late husband Alexander Konopelka, parents Mary and John Salamon, brother John Salamon, infant brother Andrew Salamon, and grandchildren Cadence and Casey Rollack. Marlene will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Special thanks to the staff of Lethbridge Regional Hospital and St. Michael’s Health Centre for their ongoing medical and loving support throughout the years. Marlene has truly inspired all of us. She was such a positive, strong willed woman who touched the hearts of everyone who were fortunate enough to know her. She made the most of every good day; even the bad days were good days to her. A happy, beautiful person inside and out. May you rest easy in heaven; you truly deserve it. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at MARTIN BROTHERS RIVERVIEW CHAPEL, 610-4th Street South, Lethbridge, AB.
