He drove passed Sun Records and enjoyed a meal in BB King’s House of Blues on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. In his many travels he went down Route 66 in the southern part of the United States. Roland still enjoyed playing basketball with his boys. He also taught his boys how to play guitar and played with the two Jimmy’s. Roland took pride in working around his home, he was very particular in keeping clean both inside and outside the house. Peggy’s siblings grew up by Roland.

While in school, he joined the St. Mary’s Warriors basketball team where they won the southern Alberta Championship in 1960.

PETERSEN

MARY ETHEL PETERSEN, beloved wife of the late Norman Charles “Bud” Petersen, of Lethbridge, AB, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 26, 2018 at the age of 95 years.

She is survived by sons Wayne (Patricia) Petersen of Lethbridge, Rand (Michelle) Petersen of Edmonton, and Lonny (Dennice) Petersen of Fort Saskatchewan; grandchildren Kristen Moreau and Richard (Carmen) of Fort Saskatchewan, Scott (Amelia) of Lethbridge and Ian (Michelle) of Calgary; great-grandchildren Sophia, Ella, Isla, and Emma of Fort Saskatchewan and Evan and Claire of Calgary; sister Frances Homulos (Ron) of Edmonton, and brother George Kolibar of Lethbridge, as well as many nieces and nephews. Mary was predeceased by her parents John Sr. and Anna Kolibar, her brother John Kolibar Jr, sisters Annie Labas, Margaret Pennie, and Helen Kolibar, and brothers-in-law.

Born in Mislava, Czechoslovakia on August 2, 1923, Mom immigrated to Canada in 1929 with her mother and four siblings to join father John in Lestock, Saskatchewan. Hard times followed with all family members pitching in with farm work and family care. Mom and sister Margaret moved to Lethbridge in 1943 and found work at the Café in the Greyhound Bus Depot. There she met a dashing young member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Mom and Dad were married in November of 1945 and moved to the Petersen family farm in 1946 when Dad was released from military duties. Wayne, Rand and Lonny came along in the early 50’s. Mom worked hard as a farm wife and mother looking after her “boys”. She was active in the Wrentham United Church as a regular attendee, volunteer, and choir member. Schooling requirements convinced Mom and Dad to move to Lethbridge in 1965. Mom carried on her church affiliations with McKillop United. The challenges of farming from Lethbridge for ten years resulted in sale of the farm in 1974. Dad fell ill in the spring of 1975 but that presented an opportunity for Mom and Dad to become snowbirds to Mesa, Arizona for the next 20 years. Dad’s health issues ended the annual Mesa pilgrimage and Mom and Dad remained in the same house as they had purchased in 1964 until a move to the Good Samaritan’s Park Meadows Village occurred in 2007. They both blossomed there as care issues were handled by others. Dad passed in 2008 and Mom moved to the Cottages at the Good Samaritan’s facility when her own health issues challenged her independence. She enjoyed sing-songs, card bingo, and day trips for shopping and luncheons during her time at Park Meadows.

The family would like to extend a very sincere thank you to the management and staff at Good Samaritan’s Park Meadows Village and Dr. R. Strank for the excellent care provided to Mom.

A Celebration of Life will be held at MCKILLOP UNITED CHURCH, 2329 – 15 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. with Reverend Terry Shillington officiating.

In lieu of flowers and in memory of Mary, donations can be made to Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village, 1511-15 Avenue N, Lethbridge, AB, T1H 1W2.

SANDILANDS

1943-2018

MARK LAWSON SANDILANDS died peacefully, at the age of 75 years, on August 20, 2018 at the Coaldale Health Centre in the presence of his wife and partner Leona Jacobs; son Doug Sandilands (Jenn Tackaberry); daughter Alison Sandilands (Richard Quantz); and sister Joan Sandilands.

Mark was born in Edmonton, Alberta on April 8, 1943 to Donald and Margaret Sandilands, the second of two children. He attended the University of Alberta (Edmonton) where he completed post-secondary studies in Psychology, culminating in his PhD. He joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Lethbridge as an Assistant Professor in 1968 and enjoyed 32 years of teaching, research, and service before retiring in 2000.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the

affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in

others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life breathed easier because you lived.

This is to have succeeded.”

Attributed to Bessie Anderson Stanley (1879-1952)

This quote, found amongst Mark’s papers, summarized his philosophy of life and his commitment to issues of social justice. Mark was nothing if not an engaged citizen.

Mark’s specific field of interest was social psychology with a focus on personality, community, and environmental psychology. Through collaborative research and community service, he explored through publication and presentations, various corners of inquiry including such topics as social behaviour, gender, family violence, intergroup and cross-cultural relations, attitudes to language, psychology of patriotism and nationalism, and the psychologies of sport and of health.

Mark loved to be engaged with his knowledge. When asked what he was proudest of, his immediate response was the impact he felt he had on the students he had interacted with over his years at the University. He was also happy that he could apply his knowledge to real-life issues through active leadership and involvement with different community organizations: The Committee for an Independent Canada, Lethbridge Chapter; The Centre for Personal and Community Development (now Lethbridge Family Services); the Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect; Alberta Mental Health, Victims and Families Subcommittee; Alberta Community Corrections (where he was a co-facilitator of educational groups for abusive men); and the City of Lethbridge’s Domestic Violence Action Team.

Mark was always active within the university environment, serving on various university committees and in various capacities on behalf of the University. In addition, he served the University of Lethbridge Faculty Association in various roles including vice-president, president, chair and chief negotiator for economic benefits, chair and chief negotiator for academic welfare, and chair for external relations. At the provincial and national levels, he served as president of the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations and as speaker of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), Collective Bargaining Co-operative and of CAUT Council. Professionally, Mark served in various capacities within the Canadian Psychological Association, especially the section on Environmental Psychology, as well as on the Alberta Foundation for Nursing Research, Scientific Review Committee.

Upon retirement from the University in 2000, Mark took his political engagement to a new level when he ran for election to the 2001 Chinook Health Region Board. He subsequently served as the NDP candidate in Lethbridge West for the 2001 and 2004 provincial elections and as the NDP candidate in the Lethbridge riding for the 2008 and 2011 federal elections. While not winning in any of these elections, each attempt provided Mark with the opportunity to offer an informed and reasoned perspective on matters be they related to education, health care, environment, equity, justice, and any other issue that was top of mind at the time. He was described by others within the NDP as “a tireless mainstay and resource for local NDP members” and that through his letters to the Lethbridge Herald, he refused “to let others misrepresent the values of the progressive left or the policies of the NDP.”

Mark’s life was not all social activism. He enjoyed skiing, skating, wind surfing, dragon boating, and, most importantly, swimming which he started doing as a child; continued doing into adulthood as a coach, as an organizer, and as a competitive swimmer; and shared with Leona. Together, he and Leona competed in swim meets; travelled across Canada as well as to points in the USA, Japan, Europe, and Cuba; and finally built their cabin at Beaver Mines. The life he shared with Leona was full of good times, laughter, and love. He is missed.

Many thanks to Dr. Steeves as well as the doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals associated with the Jack Ady Cancer Clinic, the Palliative Care Team, St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit, and the MAiD program. You all did your best by Mark.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 at 5:30 P.M. at the GALT MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES VIEWING GALLERY, 502 – 1 Street South, Lethbridge, Alberta.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Mark by donating to the Alberta NDP (https://www.albertandp.ca/) or the Federal NDP (https://www.ndp.ca/) or by making a contribution to Dying with Dignity Canada (https://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/).

STANKO

ROSE STANKO (the Steak Lady) passed away on Sunday, October 28, 2018 at St. Therese Villa in Lethbridge, 16 days before her 90th birthday.

Mom was born in Raca, Czechoslovakia on November 13, 1928 to Paul and Agnes Trncik. She immigrated to Canada with her family in 1938 and settled in Onoway, Alberta where they began to farm. Life was very tough for them, clearing the land and enduring the harsh winters. A few years later, the family moved south to the Barrhill area near Picture Butte. Some of Mom’s jobs in Lethbridge included being a top egg grader and later working at the El Rancho Hotel as the head girl in the banquet rooms. She married Andy Stanko in 1948 and they lived at the Stanko family farm near Readymade. In 1960, they bought their own farm in Lomond where Dad did the farming and Mom took care of the cattle. In 1969, along with the farming, they also started to manage the Shaughnessy Hotel for the estate of Grandpa Stanko. Dad’s sudden passing in 1973 changed Mom’s life forever. Rick came back to run the farm which allowed Mom to continue to run the hotel, which she purchased in 1975. Being a people person, the hotel was very good for her especially after Dad’s passing. She became famous for her pan-fried steaks and catered many Christmas parties for businesses.

We were always amazed at who we would find sitting at her kitchen table talking to her and getting advice; we’re thinking the City of Lethbridge may have even benefitted from one of these sessions. Mom became quite the community person and believed in giving the people what they want. Mom started having community summer sports days at the hotel with pig wrestling, chariot races and a horseshoe tournament. Mom sold the hotel in 1996 and retired to Lethbridge, but retirement for her meant continuing to manage her many rental properties in Shaughnessy and Picture Butte. She had loved her cattle on the farm and every calving season she would remind us of what to do and look for.

Rose is survived by her two sons and their families: Rick & Cindy and their three daughters, Jennifer (Kent) Halluk and their children, Kale & Khloe; Kim (Tony) Ankermann and their children, Hudson & Nash; and Chris (Dwayne Harrison); Doug & Mary Anne and their three daughters, April (Bruce) Thomi and their children, Anita, Vince & Tess; Lindsay (Chad) Halyk; and Heather.

She was predeceased by her husband Andy in 1973, an infant son Jerry and son Wesley in 2011.

Special thanks are given to the staff of Black Rock Terrace, St. Therese Villa and first responders, especially Jack Peacock, who were always great to Mom.

A Prayer Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 7:00 P.M. with Deacon Ray & Ellen Wagner officiating.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at ST. CATHERINE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 762 Crescent Avenue, Picture Butte, AB on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Ian Gagne, celebrant.
