MARION FRANCES ANGYAL, of Milk River, beloved wife of the late Mike Angyal, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at Legacy Lodge on Tuesday, July 4, 2017 at the age of 88 years.
Marion is survived by her six daughters: Valerie (Les) Kurtos, Gail (Barry) Thielen, Brenda Angyal, Cindy (Wayne) Coutts, Cheryl (Blair) Schnuth, and Jeanette (George) Cook; her grandchildren: April and James Blackmer, Brandon Thielen and Kendra (Rick) Deobald, Jasen and Carri-Ann Hansen, Candace (Mark) Dickson, Samantha Somma and JoAnne Cook; her great- grandchildren: Kage, Barrett, Hayden and Dane Hansen; Savannah and Lincoln Deobald, Magnus Dickson; Abbigail and Jaxen Somma; numerous nieces and nephews as well as her step grandchildren and their families. She was predeceased by her husband Mike Angyal Jr.; parents Irving and Barbara Miller; her siblings Elmer Miller, Linda Johnston, Irene Thielen, Ada Emard, and Raymond Miller.
Marion was born in Calgary on February 6, 1929. At the age of three, she moved with her family to a farm in the Masinasin area. In 1951, she married Mike Angyal, Jr. Together they farmed east of Milk River, owned a vehicle dealership, and later set up an electrical business.

For many years, Marion played contract bridge and was an active member of the Catholic Women’s League and the Border Ham Radio Club. Though she and Mike enjoyed spending their summers at the cabin they built on Echo Lake and their winters as “snowbirds”, they were always happiest at home close to their family who will miss her deeply.

Thanks to the doctors and nurses at the Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge for their care and attention to Mom in her last few weeks.

SCOTT
The family of WILLIAM “BILL” CHARLES SCOTT is saddened to announce his sudden passing on Tuesday, July 4, 2017 at the age of 76.
Left to mourn is his wife of 54 years, Carol; children Shelley (Bill) and Chris; and grandchildren Erica, David and Curtis. He is also survived by his sister Sandra, brother-in-law Harvey (Shirley), sister-in-law Judy, brother Rick Rogers and brother-in-law Bill Roffel, cousins Isla, Gail, and Andy, as well as nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his sister Flo and his adoptive parents, Charles and Ella Scott, and his brothers-in-law Mel and Garry. Bill loved his family more than anything.
Bill was born December 9, 1940 and was raised in Strathmore. His career in banking took him to Cranbrook, Calgary, Lacombe, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and finally to Lethbridge where he resided since 1979. In Lethbridge, he worked for BDC and later for The Mortgage Centre.
Bill enjoyed volunteering his time as a hockey referee at all levels, and at the Birds of Prey Centre. He was known as a hard worker and loved by everyone he met for his friendly, easy-going manner. His family teased him about his many “retirements,” since he was still working at the time of his passing, as an in-house mortgage signer for First Canadian Title, a position he enjoyed because he met so many people.
Carol is grateful for the last trip she and Bill took together, in May of this year, to visit Sandra on Vancouver Island, to Vancouver to visit their granddaughter Erica, and to Cranbrook to visit Judy, Harvey and Shirley. There were so many good times spent with family.
A cat-lover, gardener, and a great reader and crossword-solver, Bill will be dearly missed.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 – Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, on Saturday, July 8th at 11:00 A.M. A time of fellowship & refreshments will follow.
