ZELENKA, Gladys Gladys Zelenka
1922 – 2023
It is with deep sadness that the family of Gladys Margaret Zelenka announce her passing in Taber on Friday, October 13, 2023 at the age of 100 years.
Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 – 48 Avenue, Taber on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 between 7:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.
The Funeral Service will be held at Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 – 48 Avenue, Taber on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 at 1:00 P.M. Burial to follow at the Taber Memorial Garden. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com.
Gladys is survived by her sons Jim (Diane) Zelenka of Taber and Fred (Darlene) Zelenka of Lloydminster and her daughter Cheryl (Ron) Merkl of Taber.
She was predeceased by her husband Richard; parents William and Frances Houdek; stepmother Frances Houdek; seven siblings Blanche, Mildred, Alma, Sylvia, William, Irene and Jane.
Gladys was born in Springwater, Saskatchewan on November 3, 1922. She started her teaching profession in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta where she met and later married Richard Zelenka in 1952. Gladys continued teaching and taking care of the family while pursuing her love of sewing, gardening, baking, knitting, crocheting and painting. She was a faithful member of the Women of the Moose for over fifty years.
Glady’s family grew with the addition of seven grandkids and five great grandkids. Family gatherings were plentiful and mom always made sure everyone was gathered around her table. In 2007 Gladys moved into Clearview Lodge where she was a resident for twelve years. Linden View became her home until the time of her passing. Gladys was a social butterfly, she made friends easily, and she played a mean game of cards. We will forever miss her smile and hugs.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Gladys’ name may be made directly to the Alzheimer’s Society, 40, 1202 – 2 Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0E3 (www.alzheimer.ca).
Arrangements in care of Southland Funeral Chapel, Taber. Telephone: (403) 223-8778.

JARDINE, Scott SCOTT GORDON JARDINE 1972 – 2023 It is with deep sorrow and immeasurable love that we announce the sudden passing of Scott Gordon Jardine at the age of 51.
Left to cherish his memory are his mother Marion, his sister Lisa Nuell (Kurt Brunger) his brothers Chris (Adena) and Ken MacKenzie (Sue) his nephews Zsolt and Emery, and Jason, Andrew and Lucas and special longtime friends Eilish Dinan, Rob (Rhonda) Pohl, and Greg Brown (Chrissy).
Scott is joining his father Gerry, brother Shaun and nephew Kyle.
If you knew Scott you were a witness to his wit, charisma and intelligence. He was deeply empathetic and always helping someone. He was a relentless ally, especially for those he felt weren’t treated fairly, without thought of if there was a cost to himself. Whatever he set his mind to he tackled with an earnest curiosity and driven work ethic.
He was passionate about music, disc golf, biking, art, creating, animals, D&D and women.
To honour Scott’s wishes there will not be a formal funeral. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday December 1, 2023, venue to follow.
If friends and family wish, in his memory contributions may be made to a charity or community group of your choice in lieu of flowers. Some we know Scott would have suggested are:
