KINNIBURGH, Eleanor KINNIBURGH Eleanor Daisy Kinniburgh (nee Jones), wife of the late Fred Kinniburgh enjoyed her last sip of Pepsi surround by her family on Saturday April 1, 2023, at the age of 74 years.
Survived by children, Sandi (Bernny) Keujer of Raymond, Dave (Darla) Kinniburgh of Edmonton and Stu (Janelle) Kinniburgh of Lethbridge. Grandchildren, Karli (Justin) Barsness, Taya (Dustin) O’Donnell, Chad (Rebecca) Keujer, Lexie, Chayne and Lawson Kinniburgh, and Bailey and Taylor Kinniburgh. And 4 great grandchildren, Hunter and Kenley Barsness and Jasper and Kessler O’Donnell. She is also survived by her sister, Kathleen (Leonard) Sanderson and many other family members. She was predeceased by her parents Albert and Edna Jones, and her brother Neil Jones.
Daisy was born June 16, 1948, in Medicine Hat. She grew up in Grassy Lake helping her parents run the family store. Her love of all animals was the reason she was drawn to country life. No matter whether she was in town, on the farm or on an acreage, horses always had a special place in her heart.
She met Fred in 1965 and started their family shortly there after then moved to Lethbridge. Mom spent many years holding down the fort and running kids to sporting events, 4-H, school and many other activities, while Dad was busy keeping the power on to keep the Pepsi cold in the fridge. It didn’t matter if it was for her kids, grandkids, or even great grand kids, she always loved tagging along to any activity or event. Mom LOVED to travel, and when she wasn’t doing that, golf, cards, bowling, or any other hobbies, that got her out of the house was enjoyed.
A private service will be held for Mom, followed by a reception where family and friends are invited to gather for Daisy’s final sip. In Lieu of flowers, if you so desire, donations can be made to Epilepsy Canada.
Come share one last Pepsi for Daisy with us at the Italian Canadian Club – Thursday, April 6, 2-4pm at. 1511 St. Edward Blvd N. Lethbridge, AB.

JOBS, Gaye GAYE JOBS 1943 – 2023 Gaye (Eleanor) Jobs of Lethbridge, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at the age of 80 years.
Gaye enjoyed her home at Halmrast Manor for the last 20 years. Although a very private person, she was also very generous, especially to those needing a handout. One of her skills was mending, which she offered to anyone needing help with a hem or a button. A charming article in the Herald called her “Betsy Ross…Canadian Style”.
Gaye will be dearly remembered and sorely missed by her son, Llewellyn and all who knew her.

PAYNE, Carolyn Carolyn Ruth Payne (Archibald) 1941 – 2023 PAYNE, Carolyn Ruth (Archibald), beloved wife of Glenroy of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully at home with family at her side on April 2nd, 2023, at the age of 81 years. Carolyn is the loving mother of Rod (Brenda) Payne of Fort Macleod, AB, Ken (Debbie) Payne of Lethbridge, AB, Glenroy Jr Payne of Duncan, BC and Linda (Glen) Lengyel of Coaldale.
Carolyn is also survived by her grandchildren Justin (Brittany), Cody, Jenn (Don), Stacey, Ashley (Al), Adam (Liz), Tai, Tyler, Victoria, Daniel (Cassidy), Austin, Dalyce (Mathias) and Caley (Kyle); great grandchildren Dominick, Hayden, Brenndon, Tristen, Alexi, Cindy, Emma, Brooklynn, Kingston and Greyson, brothers Dexter and Robert, as well as many other family and friends.
Carolyn was predeceased by her loving parents, Vada & Andrew Archibald, brothers Gerald and Gordon, in-laws Naida and Leonard, and many other family members.
Carolyn was born on May 14th, 1941 in Cardston, Alberta to Vada and Andrew Archibald and attended school in Leavitt, Alberta. When Carolyn was only 13 months old, she became a big sister to twin brothers, Gerald and Gordon and several years later brothers Dexter and Robert. At the age of 16, Carolyn set her sights on Glenroy and at the age of 17, he asked her on their first date. They got married on June 3rd, 1959 and welcomed their first born, Rod, on April 18th, 1960 and within one year of each other, came Ken, Roy and Linda. Carolyn and Glenroy called many places home but settled in Coaldale to raise their family. Carolyn worked in the Coaldale Post Office for many years, then with Barons Eureka Health Unit which was later relocated to Lethbridge Regional Hospital, and from there she retired. Family was everything to Carolyn and Glenroy and spent a lot of time in the West Castle area, camping, hunting, fishing and sitting around the fire. Carolyn had many hobbies, such as, ceramics, painting, needle point, knitting and quilting, just to name a few, and had a very creative mind. She had a witty sense of humour and you were always surprised with her one-line zingers, which would have everyone in stitches! Carolyn was a great cook and with much love and care, always provided delicious meals for family and friend gatherings and always made you feel welcome in their home.
Carolyn and Glenroy decided to move to the Legacy Lodge in Lethbridge, where they would spend their Golden Years. Mom was provided with excellent love and care by all staff, while showing amazing strength, resilience and courage up until her passing. The same amount of love and care is still being provided to Glenroy.
The family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation for all the Legacy Lodge and Homecare staff who cared for our mom over the years and continue to care for our dad.
