A private committal service will follow at the Taber Memorial Garden. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com.  Due to the fact that in person attendance at the service is limited and by invitation only, those who wish to view the service may do so by visiting Henry’s obituary page on our website and clicking on the livestream link that will be available on Saturday, November 27, 2021. Henry is survived by his three children Dave (Barb) Braun of Regina, Saskatchewan, Brenda Braun of Stratford, Ontario and Ron (Jamie) Braun of Raymore, Missouri; seven grandchildren Jon (Kristen) Fitzimmons, Sarah Mitten, Michael Dean and Andrea (Jeff) Berger, Brianna Braun,  Keeley Braun,  and Logan Braun; three great grandchildren Avery Braun, Randy Berger and Maggie Berger. He is also survived by his brothers Ernie, Ben (Donna Mae), Jerry (Sharon) and Larry (Susan) Braun; sisters Marcia (Bill) Hodgson, Dianna (Charles) Boutland and Sonja (Doug) Davidson as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his wife Gail; daughter Patricia Leone Braun; brothers Art Braun and Bob Braun; sister Rita Magas.   Henry was born on a farm near Beechy, Saskatchewan on February 6, 1931, the third of eleven children of Peter Braun and Lydia (Koehn) Braun. Early schooling was at Neasden and Howendale schools, usually travelling to school by cart and cutter. Later on he attended Rosthern Junior College in Rosthern, Saskatchewan. After high school, Henry spent summers on the farm in Beechy and worked in construction in the fall and winter in Calgary. Ultimately, he returned to the farm, purchasing land beginning in 1954 which he farmed until 1995 when he kept the land in our family and sold it to cousin Rhonda (Braun) Thompson and her husband Neil Thompson who are still living there today. Henry was thrilled to see that their son and his family will be adding another generation to farm that land. Henry married Roberta Taylor in 1955 and they divorced in 1976. Together they had four children. Life on the farm was hard work with some setbacks but always challenging, much like today. During his time in Beechy, Henry was involved in many community boards such as Wheat Pool, Riverbend Co-op, Beechy Rink, Church, the Hospital and RM of Victory. In 1998 Henry and his loving wife Gail were married and together they moved to Taber. They enjoyed their retirement in Taber as a centralized location relative to Gail’s children and multiple brothers and sisters in Calgary. Together they became involved in the community, grew one of the best gardens around, watched sports, played cards, danced and enjoyed time traveling around the world for vacations and to see friends and family.  If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Henry’s name may be made directly to a charity of one’s choice. Dave, Brenda and Ron wish to express their forever gratitude for the love and support of all the friends and relatives for their amazing friendship and support; all of the aunts and uncles who have always been there whenever we needed help from near and far; neighbors that have been keeping an eye out for them, and all of the amazing healthcare professionals who have been caring for Henry at home and in the hospitals in Lethbridge, Taber and Medicine Hat over the years. Arrangements in care of Southland Funeral Chapel, Taber.

Donald Muirhead

1961 – 2021

Donald Muirhead of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Audrey, passed away suddenly on November 11, 2021 at the age of 60 years.

Born and raised in Scotland, Donald spent his early years in the small mining town of Kirkconnel before relocating to Dumfries. From an early age, Donald enjoyed playing soccer on the local teams where he made many lifelong friends and cherished memories. Upon leaving high school, Donald completed his apprenticeship and honed his skills as a fitter turner/machinist. In 1981, after a trip to visit his Great Uncle Archie Muirhead, Donald emigrated to Canada. Two years later he married Audrey in Scotland and together they returned to Lethbridge to begin their married life. Donald was a loving and dedicated husband and proud father to his lassies Laura, Leigh, and Jill. He encouraged and coached them throughout their education, sports, and lives.

Donald worked at a number of machine shops in Lethbridge before becoming a partner at C&A Industries. There he was able to realize his dream of building a machine shop and was an integral part in the ongoing development of the C&A Group. Donald loved his work and was a strong advocate of the trades.

The void Donald and Audrey experienced upon leaving Scotland was bridged with new friendships created through Donald’s time with the Lethbridge Labour Club Royals Soccer Team. The many fun tournament road trips and times spent together helped Donald and Audrey put down their roots in Canada.

Donald loved to play golf and was often seen at Paradise Canyon alongside his buddies of all ages. He placed great value and importance on the friendships and experiences he shared throughout his life. If you were to enjoy a pint or dram with Donald, retellings of these tales were

sure to be had.

Besides his loving wife Audrey, Donald is survived by his three daughters Laura, Leigh, and Jill; mother Nina Muirhead; brother Neil Muirhead (Joan); mother in law Jean Patterson; sister-in-law Hazel Patterson; as well as 5 nephews, a niece and their families.

Donald was predeceased by his father Donald Hall Muirhead, infant brother Stephen, father-in-law John Patterson, and brother-in-law Neil Patterson.

SCHULZ

May 15, 1938 – November 12, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother, Oma and Great-grandmother, KATHARINA SCHULZ (née Rose) at St. Michael’s Health Centre – Palliative Care Centre (Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada), at the age of 83 years.

Katharina will forever be cherished by her four children, Monika (Pierre Gilbert), Winnipeg; Roland (Elke), Vancouver; Angelika (Lethbridge) and Esther (Victoria); her five grandchildren: Pierre James, Rachel and Stephen Gilbert (Winnipeg); Armin and Kai Schulz (Vancouver); her two great grandchildren, Valerie and Matthew Gilbert (Winnipeg); her brother Alex Rose (Bärbel) Potsdam, Germany; her two sisters, Olga Schmidt (Winnipeg) and Maria Brenner (Bayreuth, Germany). She also leaves behind sisters-in-law Ingrid Schulz (London, Ontario), Helen Schulz (Perth, Australia), her first cousin Ira Schmidt (nee Zahn, Sherwood Park, Alberta), and many nephews and nieces in Canada, Germany and Australia.

She was predeceased by her husband Martin Gustav Schulz (d. 2010) in Lethbridge, her brother Ernst Rose (1942-2019), and her parents Otto Rose (1910-1944?) and Martha Rose (nee Zahn, 1914-1976, Bayreuth).

Katharina was born in Emiltschino (now Yemil’chyne) near the farming settlement of Gottliebsdorf, in Volhynia, then part of western Soviet Ukraine, into a fourth generation ethnic German farming community. The family fled the Red Army in 1943 like thousands of others, and were put into a Displaced Person camp in Bavaria. The post-war years saw hunger and uncertainty, and with her father’s conscription and death (MIA), and her mother’s illness and incapacity, Katharina was placed into a foster family at 12 years and her two younger brothers into an orphanage. She grew up in Einbeck, Germany, where she studied art and design and was apprenticed, going on to design wallpaper and curtain patterns. At 18 she followed her older sister Olga to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1956, where she met her husband Martin and was married in 1957. He said he was smitten by her beauty and elegance. Both became Canadian citizens in 1975. Katharina cherished the peace and security the new country had provided them. With growing prosperity and success, she worked in various client services and management positions, raised a family of four, and artfully designed the interiors of her family homes, and excelled at home cooking and baking.

In 1984, at 46 years, she moved to Lethbridge, Alberta, with her two youngest children at the time, Angelika and Esther, following her husband’s job transfer in the banking sector. Katharina enjoyed gardening, swimming, nature walks, studying birds, playing card games and dominos, reading, art, and crossword puzzles. From her childhood, she understood rudimentary Russian and Ukrainian, but upon immigrating to Canada, she ardently taught herself English, going on to master the English language and excel at the most challenging crossword puzzles. Throughout her many trials and life’s challenges she maintained a strong Baptist faith and believed the hand of providence had sustained her.

“Our mother has always shown us kindness and a willingness to help others. She went through life with a hardworking and loving nature. By her example of quick thinking, intuitiveness, responsibility and respectability, she has embodied the definition of resilience and shown us how to deal with the ups and downs of life. She was always there to support us and made our house a home, with her cheerful spirit, tender heart and loving smile. We will never forget you. We are blessed to have been born of such a courageous and determined woman as you.”

-Forever in the Lord-

STANDING ALONE

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister DORIS ROSE STANDING ALONE on November 9, 2021. Doris is survived by husband Leslie Right Hand, Daughters Candace (Mikey) Standing Alone, Tricia (Daylin) Eagle Plume, Tyrike Standing Alone, Nikera and Arianna Right Hand. Son Devon (Jessica) Standing Alone. Granddaughters: Shayden Pipestem, Maimi Simeon, Zade Simeon, Shiloh Conrad, Zaylee Eagle Plume, Aiyanna Perreault, Bryanna Standing Alone, Raya Standing Alone. Grandsons: Blaine Standing Alone, Tryson Bear Hat, Kai-Mathew Young Pine, Teyo Big Plume, Xavier Big Plume, Creed Big Plume and Phoenix Perreault. Sisters: Theresa Burnett, Angela (Lawrence) Big Sorrel Horse, Lorna (Merlin) Eagle Plume, Jennifer Gros Ventre Boy, Rose (Colin) Gros Ventre Boy, Stephani (Terrance) Gros Ventre Boy, Wanda (Preston) Gros Ventre Boy. Brothers: Gilbert Standing Alone, Ronald (Rochelle) Cutter. Aunties: Mary, Nora, and Joyce First Rider, Teresa White Man Left, Florine White Man Left, Victoria Calf Robe, Janette Stevens, Lavina Eagle Speaker, Ramona (Ervin) First Rider and Floria “Lulu” Duckchief/Cutter. Uncles: Joseph (Joan) White Man Left, Conrad McDonald, Clement Black Rabbit.

Doris was born on December 24, 1966, at the Calgary General Hospital to proud parents the Late Ronald Cutter and Mary Standing Alone (nee Eagle Speaker). She resided with her parents in Siksika from birth to 1972 when mom moved back home to the Blood Reserve. She attended the Siksika, Standoff, Fort Macleod, and Lethbridge elementary schools. Then moved on to Junior High in Old’s and completed grade 7 at St Mary’s High School on the Blood Reserve. Doris upgraded at St. Mary’s High School and completed Life skills courses on the Blood Reserve. She also attended Bow Valley College in her later years receiving certificates and awards as she continued her education. In her younger years she was an adventurous child always out and about exploring. She knew all the fishing holes, secret berry bush spots and backroads. She was a fancy dancer and enjoyed riding horses and spending time with cousins. She also spent a lot of time at Uncle Bernard & Joseph WML homes where they would play bucking barrel. Doris learned to barrel race with Anita (Twinks)MT. All her cousins liked to toughen her up on the barrel because she was feisty and wasn’t one to give in or give up. Her cousin Tara RC would pick her up on her horse and they would be gone most of the day on their own adventures out by the St. Marys Dam.

When her three younger girls began to dance, Doris and Leslie were happy to support their girls. They followed the powwow trail with her mom Mary, and Uncle Charlie in tow. Doris was never a home body and liked to be on the go even if it was just around the city. They never failed to have a backpack full snacks, lunches, and other fun stuff. She loved to cruise and preferred a clean home. She was a very loving person and mother to all her nieces and nephews. If you needed a safe place to go or someone to talk to, she was your person. She was fun, she was welcoming and caring to everyone and was never one to turn anyone away.

Mom was all about family and enjoyed spending time with her girls and grandbabies. Doris liked to dress up and attend the different community events in and around Calgary with her children. We are going to miss all those days we would come home to her hugs and smiles. Gone are the days when we would go through all her interesting and hidden treasures displayed throughout her room. She would always make time to play with the things we found in her room or just sit around the living room and reminisce as a family. Doris’s hobbies included sewing, beading, coloring, going for walks, being outdoors, singing and visiting with friends and family. She truly was one of a kind and her charismatic and fun-loving spirit will be missed. Doris was predeceased by Mother Mary Standing Alone (nee Eagle Speaker), Father Ronald Cutter. Sister Delores Standing Alone (Fred Weasel Head). Sister in-law Lorna Standing Alone. Infant brother Ronald James Cutter. Nieces: Brittany Medicine Crane, Marion Chief Body, Joanne Standing Alone, niece in-law Tiffany Gambler. Nephews: Alroy Creighton, Deon Crazy Bull, Alton Standing Alone, Leland Standing Alone, Colin Jr. Mills, Roman Crying Head and nephew in-law Rance Bear Hat. Grand Nephew: Shae Standing Alone. Aunties: Margaret First Rider, Merden First Rider, Mary-lily Cutter, Marina Yellow Fly, Margaret Red Gun, Miranda Cutter, Helen Cutter, Peggy Bruised Head, Linda, Sharon, Wanda, Vina, Elizabeth Eagle Speaker, Rosie and Christine White Man Left, and Louise Medicine Crane. Uncles: Harold (Christine Calfrobe) Cutter, Thomas Eagle Speaker, Alphonse, Pete, Bernard, Clarence, Ralph and Adrian White Man Left. Clyde, Randolph, Herbert and Eddie First Rider.
