HARTMAN
PHILIP ADRIAN HARTMAN, returned to his heavenly home on Saturday, April 22, 2017 after a valiant battle with a brief illness at the age of 88 years. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.
Philip was born to the late Simon and Mary Hartman on a farm in Handel, Saskatchewan. He was immersed in the Catholic faith that would be his lifelong support.
Philip was a farmer at heart. From a young age, he was responsible for the running of the family farm, along with his brothers, due to the death of his mother at the tender age of 13. Farming was an occupation he relished. On November 12, 1952, he married the love of his life, Florence Eva Ransom. Together, they raised seven children. After years of struggling on the farm, they moved to Alberta for a better life. In 1967, they moved to Lethbridge and eventually Taber, where Philip was a LPN for the Taber Regional Hospital until he retired in October 1990. After living in several communities, they decided to settle in Lethbridge for his final years. Together, they bought many fixer-uppers and renovated them into beautiful homes. Philip always enjoyed a project.
Philip is survived by his loving wife, Florence, sons Ray (Sandy) Hartman, Don (Valerie) Hartman, daughters Laura (Ilo) Anderson, Debbie (Derek) Martin, Kathy (Alan) Sparks, Brenda (Gord) Shimbashi, and Shirley (Dave) Novak, brothers Willie (Jeanette), Louis (Anna), Charlie (Aline), sisters Mary and Jane as well as numerous grandchildren and great- grandchildren.
Philip was predeceased by his father Simon, mother Mary, Father-in-law Arthur, mother-in-law Eva, sister Katherine and brothers-in-law Stanley, George and John.

WATERFIELD
Merle Richard Waterfield was set free on April 22, 2017 surrounded by his loving girls who knew all too well the struggle he faced daily for 6 years. Merle was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on February 10, 1956 and raised there, moving to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan shortly after marrying Stacey McCurdy. It is in Saskatoon that Merle grew and evolved into an incredible husband, involved and active dad and valued employee and friend. Waiting to greet Merle are his parents, Irene and Dick Waterfield, and his nephew Shaun Waterfield. Merle is survived by his two brothers, Craig (Marilyn) Waterfield and Bruce Waterfield, niece Kim Waterfield (daughters Olivia and Shyloe) and nephew, Chad Waterfield (son Shaye), all of Lethbridge. Also surviving Merle are Stacey’s parents, Joyce and Keith McCurdy, sisters, Cindy (Gary) Sturgeon, and Darlene (Darin) Sjonger and brother, Michael McCurdy, all of Lethbridge. Merle’s impact will live on in the hearts of his wife, Stacey, and precious daughters, Teresa, Danielle (Andrew) and Amanda. Merle survived 16 hours of “texbook, flawless” brain surgery only to suffer several post surgical complications. Merle lived up to his motto of “never give up” revealing what a warrior he is and demonstrating to his girls that his first choice was to be with them. A Celebration of this spirit will take place at a later date in June. Donations may be made to RUH Neurosurical war; ABI or CurlSask.
