WOOLF, Sheldon

SHELDON DEVOE WOOLF 1934 – 2025 Sheldon DeVoe Woolf passed away peacefully with family by his side on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the age of 91 in Lethbridge, Alberta.
Sheldon was born in 1934, in Cardston, Alberta to Sheldon DeVoe Sr. “Ki” and Martha “Mitz” Woolf. He was raised with a father who was an avid sportsman, painter and “Coach” to many, so naturally he was raised with a love of sports and a strong work ethic. Growing up in Cardston his world revolved around basketball, behind the home plate in baseball, and painting alongside his father. His love of the game kept him in High School an extra year. It was while playing baseball in Waterton that he met his first love Afton Louise Skipworth. They were married in June of 1956 when Louise graduated from High School and then the real “game” of life began! They lived in Cardston where he worked at Beaver Lumber for 5 years, before venturing out of the hometown. They moved around Alberta trying to find where they wanted to call home. This led them to Barons, Barrhead, Edmonton, and then finally Lethbridge with 4 kids now in tow, Sheldeen, Robert, James “Jim” and Sharon.
Sheldon went to work at the Lethbridge Community College in 1966 as the Financial Administrator where he worked for 25 years before retiring. While there, he found the joy of the game of golf with many colleagues. It was during this time in 1979 that his sweetheart Louise lost her 10 year battle with Multiply Sclerosis and the next year lost his son Jim to an automobile accident which left this strong, loving, quiet, loyal man very heartbroken.
Gratefully he was able to find love again with Joyce McKenney and in 1985 they were married in Lethbridge. Not long after that they both retired and began 26 years of being snowbirds to Mesa, Arizona. They both loved the sun! Together they golfed, hiked, danced, camped and went to the movies every Tuesday. They enjoyed all this with their family, special friends, and many others they met along the way. Sheldon was also very crafty with woodwork and making walking sticks from cactus which he made for many of his family and friends. Along with all of this they still found time to just sit and read.
Besides his loving wife Joyce, Sheldon leaves to mourn his passing, his children Sheldeen Edison, Robert (Mary) Woolf, Sharon (Larry) Austin, Debbie (Matt) Woelders, and Shelley Brandy (Ron Mallett); along with 10 grandchildren and their families that all call him Grandpa; as well as numerous extended family.
We would like to thank all the wonderful staff at Park Meadows Village that made him feel loved and cared for the last year of his life.
A Celebration of Sheldon’s Life will be held at 11:00am on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2216 21A Ave, Coaldale, Alberta.

ELLINGSON, Brad

In Loving Memory of Brad Ellingson Beloved Husband, Dad, Papa, and Friend It is with profound sadness and deep love that we share the passing of BRAD ELLINGSON, who left us on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at the age of 71.
Born and raised in Lethbridge, Brad was known for his outgoing nature, infectious charisma, and a gift for storytelling that could make strangers feel like lifelong friends. He had a heart for people and a mind full of wisdom, always ready with sound advice and a joke tucked up his sleeve.
In August 1973, he married the love of his life, Lois (née Crawford), and together they built a life filled with laughter, love, family and a lot of hockey games.
Brad tried his hand at many jobs in his younger years, but found his passion behind the wheel of a truck. He drove for Cascade Carriers and later Kunsman Transport, where he truly found his place hauling livestock for local ranchers across Western Canada and the US.
In October 1978, Brad was involved in a tractor-trailer accident that left him paralyzed. But that never stopped him – if anything, it only fueled his determination. He became a fierce advocate for disability rights, lobbying, protesting, and working with organizations like Disabled on the Move and the Coalition of Provincial Organizations of the Handicapped (now CCD). He was appointed twice to the Board of Directors for WCB-Alberta, where he helped shape policies that made a difference in countless lives.
In retirement, Brad channeled his creativity into woodworking and was rarely seen without a project on the go. His family meant everything to him, and he loved nothing more than spending time teaching, laughing, and sharing stories with them. His daughter, son in law and grandsons were the light of his life.
Brad also had a love of sports and played wheelchair basketball with the Lethbridge Strong Arms and later the Steamers. He and Lois were devoted hockey fans and were regulars in the stands, cheering on their teams side by side.
He was predeceased by his parents, Hans and Mary (née Pozzebon), and by his beloved wife, Lois.
Brad leaves behind a legacy of resilience, kindness, and determination. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Kirsty (Nathan), and his grandsons Arik and Tyler, along with many extended family members, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
A family Graveside Service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Spinal Cord Injury Alberta (www.sci-ab.ca) – an organization close to Brad’s heart.

They lived in Calgary, where Cameron was born, then moved to Edmonton, where Kim was born. They moved to Lethbridge in 1976, where Peter and Lorraine both worked at Telus until their retirement.
Lorraine enjoyed her walks and bicycling in the coulees with her dogs. After losing Peter, she kept busy and active with her grandkids. She took them on many adventures in her campervan. She loved going to T.O.P.S., spending time with friends, doing puzzles, playing darts and card games and her murder mysteries.
