MACKAY
MARGARET (PEGGY) JOYCE MACKAY (ZINCK) passed away peacefully on January 21, 2017 at Chinook Regional Hospital following a stroke. She was 88 years old.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband of sixty years, Donald C. MacKay, her twin brother Bob, sisters Mary Louise and Elizabeth, and her parents Sydney and Mary Zinck. She is survived by son Bruce (Flora) and daughter Gillian and her granddaughters Elizabeth (François) and Maggie.
Peggy was born in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and kept those Maritime roots strong throughout her life with yearly trips back East to visit dear old friends and family. After moving to Lethbridge in 1967, she and Don were active members of McKillop United Church where they made many life-long friends. She was a leader of the CGIT and served the church in a number of capacities. A graduate of Mount Allison University, Peggy remained a life-long learner and an avid reader. She enjoyed playing Bridge and was hard to beat at Scrabble. She worked as a library assistant at Lakeview School and volunteered in the Lethbridge Public Library Read-On program. After retirement, Peggy and Don travelled widely, taking trips to Europe, South America, the U.S.A., as well as their yearly pilgrimages to the Maritime provinces. Peggy loved music, was a long-time supporter of the Lethbridge Symphony and played saxophone in the Community Band for a number of years. She encouraged and supported the developing musical interests of her children and loved playing the family piano until she no longer could. She struggled with dementia in her later years but never lost her gracious charm and wit.
The MacKay family would like to thank the staff of Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village for the excellent support and care Peggy received in the past year.
A Funeral Service celebrating Peggy’s life will be held at the MCKILLOP UNITED CHURCH, 2329 – 15th Avenue South, Lethbridge, on Friday, January 27th, 2017 at 11:00 A.M., with Reverend Trevor Potter officiating.

Ronald Kiyoshi Tobo
1946 – 2017
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ronald Kiyoshi on Monday, January 16, 2017 at the age of 70 years old. Ron was born in Raymond, Alberta and raised in Lethbridge attending LCI, LCC and the U of A pursuing a Business Degree. He eventually longed for the bigger city and moved to Toronto where he spent most of his working career in the warehouse and distribution business. Toronto opened up new experiences to food, new friendships and most importantly a close relationship with his cousins, Dale, Sandy, Gary and Elaine. When not working, he played a bit of tennis and golf but his favourite past time was spending time by a river or lake fishing for that elusive fish. Later in life he returned to Lethbridge to look after his mother Pat whom he cared for and remained devoted to until her passing. Ron was known for his love of gourmet food and libation, and the occasional visit to the casino. He will be forever remembered for his loving and caring nature, his generous spirit and wicked sense of humor. Ron was predeceased by his parents Mike and Pat Tobo. He is survived by his sister Joyce Tobo; nephews Brenon Holmes (Shannon) and Tyler Holmes (Megan); sister Shelley Tobo Gaudreau (Paul Gaudreau); niece Paige Bontus (Troy); nephew Brett Gaudreau; as well as great nephews Ryan, Eric, Dash; and great niece Sage. Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Ron’s Life between 11:00am and 1:00pm on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at the LETHBRIDGE LODGE, CEDAR BALLROOM, 320 Scenic Drive South, Lethbridge, Alberta.
