BORAS

ANNE EVA BORAS, beloved wife of the late Walter V. Boras, passed away at the Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village, on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, at the age of 91 years, surrounded by close family.

Anne is survived by her five children – Pat (Wayne) Petersen of Lethbridge, Carol Boras of Vietnam, Lorrie (Sean) McCarthy of Longview, Susan (Marc) Boras of Coquitlam, and David (Julie) Boras of Lethbridge. She is also survived by six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Tom (Elsie) Bulva, her sisters-in-law Helen Boras, Cecile Bulva, and Barb (Ken) McRae, numerous nieces and nephews, and friends.

Besides her loving husband, Walter V. Boras in 1999, Anne is predeceased by her parents Mary and Ivan, brothers Johnny and Joseph, brothers-in-law Mike Boras, Ivan Boras Earl Gibbons, and sisters-in-law Anne Gibbons and Doris Boras, and nephew Kenny Bulva.

Anne was born June 13, 1928, in Obrez, Yugoslavia. The family immigrated to Canada in 1929 and settled in the Taber area and eventually purchased a farm in Barnwell. As the family grew, they sold the farm in Barnwell and purchased a larger farm in Iron Springs. Anne worked on the family farm in her late teens before working at the Gibbons store.

In 1950, Anne married Walter V. Boras and lived in the Picture Butte area where they raised their family. Anne was a devoted wife and mother. She enjoyed planting flowers in her rock garden, crocheting blankets and doilies, making and selling crafts at the Farmer’s Market with Walter, and baking bread, kifles, and jam-jam cookies. Anne always had a fresh pot of coffee on for anyone who stopped by the farm, and fresh bread could be smelled for miles away.

Anne was a devoted Catholic and was a member of the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) in Picture Butte for over 60 years. She also was a member of the St. Catherine’s Parish Choir. Her voice was as beautiful as the angels she made for the Farmer’s Market.

In July 2015, Anne moved to the Piyami Lodge in Picture Butte where she resided for five years before moving to the Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village in November 2019. She resided there for two months.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at ST. CATHERINE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 762 Crescent Avenue, Picture Butte, AB, on Friday, January 24, 2020, at 11:00 A.M. with Father Ian Gagne celebrating.

Following the Funeral Mass, Anne will be laid to rest with her husband in Mountain View Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Alzheimer Society in Lethbridge, #40, 1202-2nd Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB T1J 0E3.

GREVE

1933 – 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of LIONEL OSBORNE GREVE, on Sunday, January 19, 2020 at the age of 86 years. We mourn the loss of our dear husband, father and grandfather who died peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, after a courageous three year battle with pulmonary fibrosis.

Lionel was the devoted husband of 59½ years of Jennifer MacFarlan Greve, the proud and loving father of Denise Millen and Michelle Greve, both of Toronto, and the beloved grandfather of Spencer Millen, presently living in Brisbane, Australia, and Jennifer Millen of Toronto, Ontario. He will be deeply missed by his family, relatives and friends who gave greatly appreciated caring support during his lengthy illness.

Lionel was born in Ferozupur, India, on February 28, 1933. The youngest of twelve children, he is survived by only one sibling, an older brother, Bertie Greve, who resides in India. His father worked for the Railways so Lionel had the opportunity to travel widely in Asia. In 1957, he met his one true love and life companion, Jennifer. They married in London on October 8, 1960. They soon started a family with the arrival of a daughter, Denise. In 1963, they decided to immigrate to Canada and settled in Lethbridge where their second daughter, Michelle, was born.

Lionel was a skilled and conscientious welder and enjoyed working for fifteen years with Noble Cultivators until the firm closed, and then ten years with Haul-All Equipment Ltd. until his retirement. A skilled carpenter, he spent many creative and enjoyable hours with his friends in the Carpentry Club at the Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization.

Lionel often said that he led a charmed and contented life filled with an abundance of love and happiness with his dear family and many relatives and friends. After the trials of his last three years, we are grateful that he is now at peace in his heavenly home, reunited with the members of his family who have gone before him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at ST. AUGUSTINE’S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 411 – 11 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 1:00 P.M. with Canon James Robinson officiating.
