William Bates

1929 – 2021

William Bates passed away peacefully in his sleep during a short stay in the hospital at the age of 91.

Bill was a gentle, soft-spoken man who always had kind words about everyone. We will miss his unique handshake, his nightly check-in phone calls, his quick wit, and his stories about Lethbridge past. At every social gathering he never failed to encourage everyone to “clink” their glasses and say “Cheers”; so, Uncle Bill, “Cheers” to you. We will miss you!

A private family burial will take place, and when it is safe to do, a Celebration of Life.

PAZIUK

Aug. 4, 1926 – May 20, 2021

ANNE MARY PAZIUK, beloved wife of the late Nick “Mikolaj” Paziuk and mother to Richard Paziuk, of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours with her son at her side, at the Chinook Regional Hospital of congestive heart failure, on Thursday, May 20, 2021 at the age of 94 years. She had fought and defeated Covid -19 and a number of problems arising therefrom and seemed well on the road to recovery yet again but the demands on her body were simply too great over the past two days.

In addition to her son Richard, Anne is survived by numerous nieces and nephews in Europe.

Anne was born in France and after the War, met Nick who became her lifelong love. They emigrated to Canada in 1950 to start a new life and endured many hardships in their new home. Nick eventually secured employment with Agriculture Canada, where he served for 31 years before retirement. Anne, in addition to making “home” a place of joy, held various secretarial and retail positions until Nick’s retirement in 1984, at which time they both enjoyed their life together gardening, camping, travelling the world and enjoying the fruits of their labours. Hawaii with close friends was their winter reprieve and a source of great comfort and many stories.

When Nick was stricken with Alzheimer’s and settled at St Michael’s Health Centre, Anne gave up their first and only family home in Lethbridge to move to Martha’s House, so she could be close to Nick and visit him when possible. When Nick passed away in 2008, Anne found her new family at Martha’s House and though the faces may have changed, she knew she was cared for and among friends. A very special thanks to the management and staff of Martha’s House for their care, love and concern for Anne over the years and to the residents she was pleased to call her extended family. You are all very special people and were in Anne’s thoughts to the very end.

Special thanks as well to the doctors, nurses and staff of CRH unit 5B who made Anne well enough to enjoy a too brief visit home in late April and to the various other units who cared for her throughout her time at the CRH. Your professionalism and compassion went far to make the best of a very difficult time and allowed Anne to pass on with peace and dignity.

Mom, you fought a long hard fight and kept a positive attitude to the bitter end. I know you are at peace now and with Dad and the rest of the family gone before. The memory of you and the life you both gave me will sustain me but you will be greatly missed. You were my anchor and my best friend. You will live in my heart forever.

At Anne’s request, no service will be held. Cremation has been entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home. Anne’s ashes will be spread as were Nick’s, so they will be reunited again.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Anne’s name to Diabetes Canada (diabetes.ca/donate), The MS Society of Canada (mssociety.ca/donate) or a charity of your choice.

PENN

BILL PENN, beloved husband of the late Frances Penn, of Lethbridge, passed away at St. Therese Villa, on Friday, May 14, 2021, at the age of 92 years.

Bill is survived by his loving children: Debrah (Barry) Scott, Ed (Michele) Penn and Larry (Susan) Penn; grandchildren: Kyle (Christy) Penn, and Kristen (Brian) MacInnis; and great-grandchildren: Lola Penn and Quinn MacInnis.

Bill was predeceased by his loving wife Frances Rayko Penn; parents Alice and William Penn of Claresholm; sister Angeline Penn Summerfield and brother Andy Penn.

Bill believed, what the mind could conceive, the hands could achieve. He was a master at anything mechanical, building his first car from parts he could find and maturing to a first-class auto mechanic and service manager. He was also a master at woodworking, building his parents beautiful new kitchen cabinets and many other projects all from the pictures in his head. Bill had a huge garage filled with professional grade tools in his backyard, which was the backbone of his sons’ education. It was a wonderland for friends of all ages, especially because Bill shared his talents with everyone who showed an interest.

Bill was a huge fan of Honda’s Gold Wing Motorcycles. He owned a large number of these motorcycles. He prided himself on riding at least one day of every month of the year. Bill treasured the many and varied friends he made among motorcycle enthusiasts.

Bill loved to visit with good friends at Dairy Queen and at the Fairmont McDonald’s Restaurant, where the troubles of the world were discussed and solved. Many of those folks remained in his memory for years.

Bill fought long and hard to face the challenges that came his way. At this time, we’d like to thank his caregivers at St. Therese Villa for their loving attention, and to the staff at Chinook Regional Hospital for their efforts.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, friends who desire may wish to honour Bill’s love of animals with a donation to the Lethbridge and District Humane Society (2920 – 16 Avenue North, Lethbridge, AB, T1H 5E9).

Norman William Remus

1925-2021

Norman William Remus, beloved husband of 71 years to Joyce Remus of Lethbridge, passed away on Sunday, May 9, 2021 at the age of 95 after a lengthy illness.

He is survived by his children, Lynda (Dave) Navratil, Roy (Shari) Remus, Darryl (Wendy) Remus, and Neil Remus of Alberta and Jerry (Corinne) Remus of Tennessee.

Norman was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta as the middle of 5 children raised by loving parents Charles and Alvina Remus. He grew up on the family farms in Bear Hill and Brightview, Alberta and developed an enthusiasm for radio, including building a home transmitter to broadcast his family gramophone records to neighbours at the age of 11. He met his future wife at Bible Camp when they were 16 and never forgot her. After taking over the family farm at age 20, he ran into Joyce at 22 and they married 3 years later. Their first three children were born in Wetaskiwin and the final two in Edmonton where they had moved in 1956. Norm pursued his radio and TV interests in Edmonton where he was a devout supporter of Park Allen Baptist Church. In 1969 the family moved to Lethbridge where the family attended Evangelical Free Church and later the Mennonite Church while Norm started his own Remus Television business on 13 St N. Norm and Joyce moved west to Kelowna in 1983, where they loved to entertain family and friends in the heart of the Okanagan. They spent 8 months travelling Canada and the US in 1987 and enjoyed their winters in Yuma, AZ with Norm’s sister Pearl and friends. They loved their home in the Kelowna hills and hated to leave it in 2013 to move back to be with family in Lethbridge. They enjoyed visits with their family – 13 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and 4 great great’s, and counting! We’ll miss you dad.

A memorial service will take place the afternoon of May 22, 2021 at Christensen Salmon Generations Funeral Home with internment to follow at Royal View.
