HARTLEY
LORRAINE HARTLEY, precious mother, grandmother, and great grandmother graduated from this life on October 7, 2018, and has been reunited with her loving husband, Lowell Hartley, as well as her mother, father, and many other family members.
Lorraine was born December 12, 1932 in Kamloops, B.C. She left us peacefully early Sunday morning, October 7, in Cardston, Alberta after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was surrounded by her five daughters and lifted by the spirit and prayers of her three sons.
Lorraine was very active in the community and in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serving faithfully in many callings. She had the voice of an angel, often singing at weddings, church functions, and yes… at many funerals.
She loved her children and grandchildren and passed on her love of culture, travel, music, and learning to them. Family was everything to her. She was a wonderful, devoted mother to her 8 children, 38 grandchildren, and 35 great grandchildren.
Lorraine Terry met Lowell Hartley in Hartleyville in 1951 when she came down from Edmonton to live with her Grandma and Grandpa Fisher in Hill Spring while teaching in the old Hartleyville school. It was love at first sight and they were married in 1952 in the Salt Lake City Temple. It was the beginning of a great love story. Lorraine supported and loved her husband through the adventure of many moves and job changes. Though he passed away in 1988 she continued to lead a productive and joyful life including a mission to Arizona.
Lorraine struggled in her waning years to be able to express herself with Alzheimer’s blocking her ability to communicate with words. In spite of these limitations, she never lost her ability to communicate clearly through her loving spirit, smile, and demeanor. She touched the lives of many and she will be missed dearly.
Lorraine is survived by her brothers, Roy (Sharon) Terry, Bill (Sylvia) Terry, her sister Barbara (Duncan) Russell, and her 8 children: Debb Steele, Ron (Michele) Hartley, Laurel (Bruce) Finlinson, Larry (Miralee) Hartley, Carol (Dave) Remington, Gerald (Carolyn) Hartley, Gale (Chris) Bray, Leslie (Casey) Sloan, as well as 38 grandchildren, and 35 great grandchildren.

Patrick Adams 1966 – 2018
Patrick (Pat) Jay Adams, loving husband to Susie, father to Olivia and Jack, and loyal friend to many, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 3 at the age of 52 years after a courageous fight against a rare form of cancer. Susie was there to hold his hand and comfort him as he said farewell. He passed nine days before their 20th wedding anniversary.
Pat was born on August 17, 1966 in Olean, New York, the fourth child of Art and Anne Adams. When he was nine years old, the family moved to Canada and settled in Lethbridge. Pat grew up in a loving household that encouraged hard work, commitment, loyalty, and a desire to contribute to the community. He shared a passion for sports with his two brothers, Dave and Shawn, and he played hockey and football throughout elementary and junior high school. In high school, Pat pursued his true passion, basketball, and he followed his older brothers’ footsteps as a proud member of the LCI Rams varsity basketball team. Pat, who went by the family nickname Bubs, loved his time in high school and the lifelong friends he made. In grade 12, he was elected class President and served his school with pride. After high school, Pat’s basketball skills led him to Lethbridge College where he was a member of the Kodiaks Men’s basketball team for two seasons. Soon after graduating from the Communication Arts program in 1988, Pat returned to the United States. He worked at Microsoft in Seattle as a technical writer and at the same time gained more education at the University of Washington. He eventually completed an MBA and several writing designations. Pat’s career as a technical writer led him to Silicon Valley and eventually to Napa Valley in California. During this period, he combined his love of travel and scuba diving, and he went on many diving adventures to exotic locations around the world. Pat and Susie were married in Napa Valley in 1998. They became parents in 2001 when Olivia was born; in 2004, Jack followed, and this happy event coincided with the family relocating to Hayden, Idaho to be closer to Pat’s parents. The family quickly settled into the rhythm of a close-knit community and developed many lifelong friendships. Pat and his dad, known to many as Chief, volunteered in the community and managed several successful business ventures. Together, father and son built the family cabin in northern Idaho, known as Valhalla. Pat’s athletic pursuits shifted to mountain biking and eventually to triathlons. He completed local Ironman events, often competing alongside his brother Dave and niece Brittney. Nothing made Pat happier than being a husband and father. He loved Susie, Olivia, and Jack with all his heart, and he was so proud watching his kids excel in school and in life. In accordance with family tradition, in lieu of a funeral service a celebration of life will take place on Pat’s favourite holiday, July 4, in 2019 at a venue in Coeur d’Alene. A celebration will also be held in Lethbridge. Details for both events will follow in the coming months. Pat is survived by Susie, Olivia, Jack; sister Adena Ray, brothers Dave (Pam) and Shawn (Barb), several nieces and nephews, and countless friends. Pat’s favourite film was It’s a Wonderful Life, the story of a man who loved his family and invested deeply in building a community. Like George Bailey, Pat was grateful for all the blessings he received in his full and happy life. He did his best to lasso the moon for his beloved Susie, and now he looks on from above, waiting to earn his wings. He will be loved and missed forever.

After her three girls were out of diapers, Violet returned to the work force. She worked for Border Brokers and then for the veterinary department at Canadian Border Services. Violet and Paul loved to travel. They enjoyed their adventures across Canada, the United States, Mexico, The Caribbean, Europe, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, China and Egypt. However, Violet’s greatest trips were to Hungry to investigate her heritage as well as search for and get to know the family she found there.
Violet considered her greatest love to be her family, whom she treasured and adored. Her kindness, caring and support are a gift her family will carry forever.
We would like to thank the staff of St. Michael’s Health Centre, Edith Cavell Care Centre, Chinook Regional Hospital, Milk River Health Centre and the many family and friends who have provided their love and support.

Above all, Eugene loved his family. He taught them to work hard, love God, and never give up.
