Stanley “Stan” Carroll

1947 – 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce that Stan Carroll of Warner passed away, surrounded by his family, at the age of 74.

He is survived by his beloved wife Betty (nee Fulton); sons Andy (Carri) and Jason; grandchildren Allyson, Kian, Chelsea and Ethan. He is also survived by his brother Lawrence (Rita); sisters Gladys (Cyril) and Flo, who all reside in Nova Scotia, as well as nieces and nephews, and many of Betty’s family who reside throughout Alberta.

Stan grew up in Dean, Nova Scotia, the oldest son of Walter and Doris Carroll, who had met and married during the Second World War. From a young age Stan enjoyed working for neighbouring farmers and in the bush. While attending school in Brookfield, NS, he also started dating Betty his high school sweetheart. In 1967, Stan and Betty moved to Alberta and were married in the next year. In the spring of 1968 Stan began working for Dale McKenzie in Warner, which began a life long friendship between the Carroll’s and McKenzie’s. He spent over next 30 years working for McKenzie Herford Farms, raising his family and teaching his sons what he had learned. Stan loved working with the cattle especially but found contentment in almost everything he did. He was especially happy to serve as a leader in the Warner 4-H Beef Club and to help where he could with the Warner Evangelical Church. In 1996, Stan had a heart attack that forced him to leave farm work, but he then found himself learning a new trade, rebuilding drill bits, and then working for the Village of Warner in the rink and at the waste transfer station. Stan loved to visit with people, and really enjoyed his work at the rink, sharpening skates and taking care of the ice. Even as complications from his heart troubles forced him to slow down, he continued to find enjoyment in wood working and doing odd jobs for anyone who would ask. Stan loved his family with great devotion and was a kind, generous soul who always saw the good in people.

Stan is predeceased by his parents Walter and Doris (nee Heley) Carroll.

Stan’s family would like to express special thanks for the outstanding palliative care he received from the physicians, nurses and staff at Raymond Hospital.

A Celebration of Stan’s Life for family and friends will be held at 2:00pm on March 14, 2022 at ST. AUGUSTINE’S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 411 – 11 street South, Lethbridge. The service will be live streamed on the St. Augustine’s Youtube Channel https://m.you tube.com/watch?v=34qBYmK2epw.

Flowers are gratefully declined as Betty is allergic to flowers. Please direct memorial donations in Stan’s memory to HALO/STARS Air Ambulance or the Warner Volunteer Fire Department.

EDWARDS

On Tuesday, March 8th, 2022, PAUL EDWARDS, loving husband and father of two children, passed away suddenly at the age of 70.

Paul was born in Blackpool, England and immigrated to Canada when he was just three. Paul owned his own business and then went to the Lethbridge Regional Hospital to work in the Maintenance and Planning departments, followed by his retirement in 2012. Paul was passionate about his work, but not as much as his family. After his retirement he opened Drunken Sailor with Loralee and they were part of a vibrant downtown.

Paul was preceded in death by his father Lawrence and his mother Doreen. His heart never quite healed from their loss. He is survived by his wife Loralee and two daughters Lisa (Chris) and Jodi (Pierre-Luc) and grandchildren Josh and Gabby. He is also survived by his sister Kathy (Gord), David (Mary-Anne) and Gary (Toni). Also very special to him were Loralee’s family, her Mom Bonnie (Gord), and siblings Sara, Jonathan, Joel, and Jason.

Paul loved people and he loved to cook. He loved caring and serving those he loved. He was happiest with a full house, serving food he had lovingly prepared. He had a blue-collar heart and an artist soul. He supported Loralee in everything and he was so proud of his daughters.

Paul was a gentle giant; a loving and caring man and he is already missed by so many. Although Paul did not die of kidney failure, he was lucky enough to receive one from his sister, he was passionate about organ donation. Please discuss your wishes with your family.

An open house will be held at TRIANON GALLERY (upstairs), 104 – 5 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Sunday, March 13 from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. Please come and share a story or hug.

SINCLAIR

Ray Douglas Sinclair, 69, of Coalhurst AB, passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 4th, 2022 due to a medical condition.

Ray was referred to as an encyclopedia of knowledge, he remembered everything he learned throughout his life. In his professional life he obtained several certificates, such as, heavy-duty mechanic, automotive mechanic, commercial vehicle inspection licensing, and he held his class-1 operator’s license.

In his later and more recent years, he gained certification in site and soil evaluations as well as spent time designing and installing septic systems. He had a passion for solving problems, and he taught me the value of stepping back, taking a break and re-evaluating when I was frustrated with my own struggles.

He had a passion for his pets, camping, water sports and (‘drag’) racing. He is survived by his two sons, Trevor (47) and Scott (45); two granddaughters, Larissa (12) and Jasmine (8); as well as his older and younger brothers, Lee and Dean.

George Quincey

1936 – 2022

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day…” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

It is with sadness, but peace and joy in our hearts, that we said goodbye to our dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend George Edwin Quincey.

George lost his lengthy battle with Parkinson’s Saturday March 5, surrounded by his family, singing hymns, joyfully awaiting the moment when he could finally see his Jesus face-to-face.

George is survived by his wife Grace; eight children: Wendell (Maureen), Joanne (Leonard), Jacob, Dianne (Tim), Renee (Brian), John (Connie), Elly (William), Michelle (Shaun); 23 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his parents Atherton and Annie; wife Jeanette, brother Charles, and nephew Timothy.

George was born on June 8, 1936 in Montreal Quebec. After WW2, his mother moved George and his brother Chuck to the family homestead near Glenside, Saskatchewan. There he completed school, played baseball, football, curled, hunted, fished, making lifelong friends along the way. He married Jeanette Zlatnik (1937-1997) in June 1957. He earned his journeyman in carpentry, working on the formidable Gardner dam project and managing a lumber yard in nearby Outlook, SK. In 1969, George moved his young family to Fernie, British Columbia. There he worked for a coal mining company, supervising numerous construction projects. During those years, he continued farming in Saskatchewan, commuting annually to Glenside for seeding and harvest.

Fernie was the place of a more significant change. There he encountered his Saviour Jesus Christ. Due to his faith, he influenced others to also believe and provided an example of a spiritual life.

George met and married Grace (May 1999) and a new chapter of his life unfolded, relocating to Lethbridge, Alberta where he loved and was loved by his family, spending many hours with children and grandchildren, celebrating with them and serving them with his hands and heart. George also enjoyed working side by side with his son, Wendell on numerous endeavour’s, creating memories. He was always excited to hear and see the projects Wendell was working on.
