IN MEMORY Another full circle moment in Allen’s life occurred in 1998 when he returned to Saskatchewan, where his Adventist Church service had begun. He served four years as the Administrator of Sunnyside Nursing Home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In all, Allen devoted 37 years to the health care mission of the Adventist Church. The Fowlers retired to Sherwood Park in 2002. Allen is survived by his wife Airlie, daughters Lorna (Robin Brekkas) of Ft. St. John, B.C., Barbara (Gerald Chipeur) of Calgary, Alberta, and Vivian (David Grinde) of Holden, Alberta, granddaughters Krista, Erica (Derek Broomfield), Stephanie, Lauren (Ryan Russell), Leanne (Jeff Ball), great-grandsons Jettsyn and Kashten Ball, twin brother Alberta Fowler and nephew Stan Fowler. The distinctive figure of Allen Fowler in a black Stetson will no longer grace this earth as he is asleep in Jesus awaiting the resurrection morning. A celebration of Allen’s amazing life is planned for a future date. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Sherwood Care, the long-term care facility Allen built over 50 years ago in Sherwood Park, Alberta. —Submitted by Wombold Family Funeral Homes
Abelardo (Billy) Luceno
October 8, 1952 - September 17, 2021
A
belardo was laid to rest on September 17, 2021, at age 68. He was born to Flora and Modesto Luceno on October 8, 1952, in Natividad, Pangasinan. As his family and friends fondly call him, Billy was a thoughtful, generous, and friendly person. He’s got a charming smile and a quiet, peaceful personality. He had many friends. He was helpful and a hard worker. He worked with his family in their small business, making Filipino baked goods to help provide for the family.
He became well known locally for making one of the best pilipit (Filipino crunchy twisted bread). Family and friends would ask him to make it and even offer to pay him for it. People would encourage him to start selling his pilipit, which led to creating his pilipit, hopia, and donut home business. Abelardo met his wife Lyneth in December of 1993 in the Philippines. They got married on July 24, 1994. Afterward, Lyneth joined Billy in Canada, where they raised their three children, Sara, Alvyn, and Ashley. Billy enjoyed the simplicity of life with his love for playing basketball, biking, motorbiking, watching shows from the food network channel, watching YouTube videos about fishing, camping, and reruns of old boxing matches. He was well respected by all his family and friends. Billy found new life and purpose in Christ. He loved the Lord and dedicated his life to him. We look forward to that day where we will be reunited with him again when Jesus comes. —Submitted by Sara Luceno
