MATTHEWS David George On November 21, 2012 Dave Matthews of Elnora, passed away after a protracted illness, at the age of 78. Dave was born in Duchess, Alberta on July 31, 1934 to George and Fannie Matthews. He was an avid gardener, a ham radio operator, and a volunteer fire fighter. He founded the Elnora Chapter of AA - the No-Name Group. For a skinny guy, he sure loved to eat and was not afraid to try anything new bringing his family kumquats, star-fruit and chocolate covered ants. He inspired a sense of adventure and a love of travel in his children. He and his wife Pat loved to hook up their fifth wheel trailer and drive. They travelled far and wide - from Victoria to St John’s, from Dawson City to Mexico. He looked forward to visits from his family. Many photos show Dave with a grandchild or great-grandchild on his lap, a drumstick in his hand, a paper crown on his head and a big grin on his face. He was predeceased by his parents, and siblings Charles, Nancy, Margaret, Joe, Hugh and Dorothy. He leaves to mourn his wife Patricia of Elnora and children Debora (Bob MacKinnon) of Halifax, Michael (Patricia) of Peace River, Deanna of Edmonton and Colleen (Don) Burren of Delburne; his grandchildren Melissa Simpson, Meghan and Ryley Burren, Alex and Michelle Houle, and Aaron Ingersoll and Alexandra Proctor; 4 great grandchildren Lily and Virginia Simpson, Arend and Devin Houle and many loving nieces and nephews. A celebration of David’s life will be held at 2 pm Monday, November 26th, 2012 at the Elnora Hall. Lunch to follow. Services entrusted by Kneehill Funeral Services. No flowers at the family’s request. Donations may be made to St. Mary’s L o d g e , Tr o c h u a n d t h e Elnora Museum. KNEEHILL FUNERAL SERVICES LTD., TROCHU 403 442 2123
WHAT’S HAPPENING
SINCLAIR Barbara Iris 1922 - 2012 Mrs. Barbara Sinclair passed away on November 19, 2012 at the age of 90 years. Mrs. Sinclair is survived by her sons Robert (Carol), Murray (Luella) and daughters Margaret and Elizabeth (Gino). Mrs. Sinclair is also survived by her 15 grandchildren, Anjali and Alicia Sinclair, Jonathan (Kara), Michelle, Stephanie, Benjamin, Nicole, Jessica and Carly Sinclair, Katrina and Philip Loiselle, and Nicholas, Jordan, Michael and Jeremy Mena, as well as one great-grandson, Rogan Sinclair. Barbara Iris Grant was born in Mission, BC, on January 20, 1922 to parents John and Agnes Grant. When Barbara was five years old, the Grant family moved to White Rock, BC. Barbara attended schools in White Rock and Cloverdale where she excelled. She was highly competitive in track and tennis, and became the editor of her high school yearbook. Although she had a keen aspiration to become a nurse, life during the war years was such that Barbara found her plans thwarted, and she went into banking instead. Barbara was a woman of music. Her mother sacrificed to provide a classical music education for her during the depression years. Barbara continued her interest in music by joining the White Rock United Church Choir where her sister Margaret was the organist. While singing in the choir, she attracted the interest of a young man, Jim Sinclair, who had just returned to Canada following active duty in World War II. Following marriage, they moved to Calgary, where she assisted in the construction of her dream home. Soon, however, the couple moved to Rosebud where Jim had been called to pastor the Baptist Church. Later moves took the family back to Calgary, and then to Red Deer. Barbara was a very private person who spent most of her life at home. She made sure the house was filled with great music. When she was not playing Chopin, Beethoven, or Mozart, she had classical music playing on the stereo. She introduced her children to playing the piano, singing harmony, and listening to classical music, with varying degrees of success. Barbara played the piano at home and at church, accompanying the congregation, the choir, and other musicians with a mature and sophisticated touch. Barbara was a resident of Bethany Collegeside from 2005 until her passing. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Agnes Grant, sister and brother-in-law, Reginald and Margaret Hanslow, and by her husband, Rev. James Sinclair. A private burial will take place on the morning of Tuesday, November 27th, 2012, followed by a memorial service at Bethany Baptist Church at 1:30 p.m. An open viewing will be held at Parkland Funeral Home on Monday, November 26, 2012 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the local chapter of the S.P.C.A. or the Medicine River Wildlife Centre. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Funeral arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040
