PATRICIA NORMA AMIES

MRS. PATRICIA NORMA AMIES – or Pat – as she was most commonly known – was born in Croydon, Surrey on September 10, 1934 to Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Sercombe. She has one sibling, David (Heather), who is living in Australia, aged 90. Her father Reuben was in the Royal Air Force and was subjected to regular postings. Consequently, Pat attended several schools, notably Worthing High School for Girls and a school in Wilhelmshaven, Germany run by the British military for service children. In October 1953 she enrolled in the London Hospital Physiotherapy School and graduated in 1956 as a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists of England. During her time at the London Hospital, she met, fell in love with and married David, a medical student. Their marriage lasted 65 years until her death.

Pat bore three daughters Sarah (Scott), Caroline and Abigail (Andy) and became the grandmother of Nate (Amma), Mackenzie (Peter), Skye and Katya. Patricia had three great grandchildren, Emmett, Aria, and Enzo.

David’s career took her to Nigeria, Cyprus, Jerusalem, Canada and Australia and their travels enabled her to experience over forty countries. Wherever possible Patricia practised her profession. Pat and David emigrated to Canada in 1974 and became citizens in 1976.

Pat’s hobbies and interests included dancing, choral singing, acting on the stage, quilting, dressage, skiing, water sports of all kinds, cooking, and bridge. Her great love was the theatre, and she took leading roles with several amateur societies. She proved so adept that she took the plunge and secured a number of roles on the professional stage in Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver as well as parts on both radio and television.

Pat’s final years were marred by arthritis and heart ailments. Mercifully her terminal illness was brief.

She died at home in her own bed on Friday April 8, much loved by her husband, family and their cherished pup, Yoshi.

A Funeral Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at 2:00 P.M. with Patrick Siedlecki officiating. The service will be livestreamed and may be accessed via Pat’s obituary on the Cornerstone website.

COOKE

Jentien (Jenny) Cooke (nee: de Jong)

May 15, 1929 – April 9, 2022

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Jenny Cooke at 95 years of age. Jenny passed away peacefully in Lethbridge, Alberta with family by her side on April 9, 2022.

Jenny was the first child born to Hendrika Zandbergen and Heine de Jong, on May 15, 1926 in Vroomshoop, The Netherlands. As Jenny grew up, she helped raise her five brothers and four sisters.

Jenny immigrated to Canada in 1952 with her first husband Henk and their two children, Herman and Rhea, settling in Niagara Falls, Ontario. After Henk’s passing in 1953 , Jenny met and married Ernie Cooke in 1955 in Cornwall, Ontario. Jenny and Ernie had two children together, Eddy and Cecil. When Ernie passed in 1959, Jenny was 33, and widowed twice. She moved her four young children to Thunder Bay to be nearer to family. After moving there, she worked several different jobs to support her family and the foster children she helped raise. She went on to marry two more amazing men, that she was forever grateful for having in her life.

Jenny’s four children went on to bless her with 11 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and two great, great grandchildren. One of her biggest joys was watching the family grow. Jenny loved to knit, especially slippers for family, friends and overseas missions as well as sending and receiving beautiful cards and letters. She loved a good game of Rummikub and even at the age of 95 could give you a run for your money. She also loved music, especially Jim Reeves, to which she sang along to right up until her passing. She even taught many songs to the wonderful staff at Cedar Creek Adaptacare where she lived the last six months of her life.

Jenny lived her last six months in Lethbridge, Alberta near her many relatives. She told everyone that the trip from Thunder Bay to Lethbridge in the motorhome with her sons Herman and Eddy and granddaughters Kristen and Kelly were some of the most fun days she ever had. She did not want that trip to end.

Jenny was a loving wife, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother and friend to many. She was a strong, brave, passionate woman who always spoke her mind. She was resilient and lived her life for the Lord, through the good times and the bad.

She is survived by Herman and his wife Emma, Rhea, Eddy and his wife Shaunna, daughters-in-law Roxanne, Lori and Kathy and her many descendants.

She was predeceased by her son Cecil, grandson Cory, son-in-law Jim, several of her siblings, parents, in-laws, and her four husbands. She will be greatly missed.

A Funeral Service will be held Wednesday, April 13 at 2PM at Eden’s Funeral Home, 2424 5 Ave, Fort Macleod, AB.

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you: I have called you by name.

You are mine”
