MAH Moon Aug. 26, 1930 - Jan. 24, 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Moon Mah, beloved mother, doting grandmother and all around good person. Moon passed away peacefully Wednesday January 23, 2013, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 82. Moon was a loving and passionate woman whose greatest love in life was her family and the business she helped found 60 years ago. For the last 40 years, or as long as anybody can remember, Moon sat on her perch at the front of Wei’s Western Wear greeting customers and guarding the till. Moon was synonymous with the business she helped start with her husband Wei and when she was healthy; she was always at the store, every day, all day. Moon came to Canada in 1956, following Wei who arrived in 1951. Life was not easy in those days for an immigrant family in rural Alberta, especially ones who were trying to learn a new language and adopt a new culture. However, both Wei and Moon were determined to achieve the “Canadian Dream” where hard work, determination and sacrifice were sometimes rewarded. They started out with nothing but eventually built a stable business that spanned 11 Canadian Prime Ministers (from Louis St. Laurent to Stephen Harper) even enduring Kim Campbell’s brief administration. They built their business on the foundations of honesty, humility and hard work. Both Moon and Wei worked tirelessly and they were always happy to see their customers and were always ready to have a chat or ‘give a good deal’, as they knew a satisfied customer was the lifeline to a successful business. They also stressed the value of education although their own schooling was abbreviated and almost non-existent. They passed on this importance to their children and grandchildren and they were proud to see that the subsequent generations have fully embraced their philosophy. By all accounts, Moon leaves us with no regrets. Moon had a happy life full of love and laughter and she was always surrounded by a loving family and wonderful friends. To quote J.K. Rowling, “she did the best she could with what she had”. She started with humble beginnings and she leaves with a legacy and values that should endure for generations. Moon was pre-deceased by her husband Wei in 2001, and will be lovingly remembered by her sons and daughter-in laws; Stephen (Marilyn), Chung and Allen (Brenda) and her 4 grandchildren, Michael, Nathan, Tyler and Keira. She will also be mourned by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins as well as her husband’s brothers, sister and their families. The family is deeply grateful to the gentle and diligent care given to Moon from the nurses and staff of Unit 33 and the Intensive Care Unit at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. We are especially thankful to Dr. Kym Jym, Dr. D. Simmonds, Dr. Curtis, Dr. J. Singh and Dr. Edward Lee for their personal care and compassion. The funeral and a celebration of Moon’s life will be on Saturday February 2, 2013, 1PM at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820 - 45 Street, Red Deer; AB. Viewing will be on Friday Feb. 1, 2013 from 7PM - 9PM.

BAKER Joyce Elaine Joyce Baker passed away January 17, 2013 surrounded by her family. Joyce was born August 4, 1937 to Walter and Clara Svedberg. She grew up on a farm near Hendon, Saskatchewan. She married Walter Baker September 19, 1955, and relocated to Alberta to raise their family, finally settling in Bowden, Alberta. Joyce was not one to sit still therefore was actively involved in the Bowden c o m m u n i t y. S h e w a s a founding member of the Bowden Thrift Shop, was a part of the Ag Society, Town Council, Order of Eastern Star and U.C.W, to name a few. As a mother to not only her own four children but also many others, Joyce designed and created many figure skating costumes, laced up skates, sat through recitals, and always had a full table every night at 6 o’clock. Known for her cooking, Joyce then operated a small catering company, where nobody in the family escaped from helping. There were very few people Joyce did not know and she reached out to everyone with her compassion and friendship. She was always sending a meal or baking to a family or senior, taking the time to visit with anyone who needed an ear. She was called upon often to “help”, and never turned down a request. At the end of the day, Joyce was happy to be home with her family, and as it grew she relished her time with her grandchildren. Family was important to Joyce and we were often all together for birthday’s and every holiday. She loved her family, her church and her community, and it was evident in how she lived her life. Joyce re-located to Red Deer in 2006 with her husband. Joyce was predeceased by her son R a y m o n d B a k e r. S h e i s survived by her husband, Walter; her children, Dale (Joni) Baker, Elaine (Martin) Baker-Rowe, Karen (Tim) Baker; her grandchildren and her sister, Yvonne Dmetrichuk. A Celebration of Joyce’s Full Life will be announced at a later date. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca

SMITH Albert Charles 1941 - 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Mr. Albert Smith announce his passing on Monday January 21, 2013 at the age of 71 years. Albert was born on December 3, 1941 at Innisfail, Alberta. He was the third child born to Charles and Eda. After completing his education, Albert met his beloved wife Frances Cole. Together they pursued Albert’s passion of farming and built their future on the homestead, Albert was so happy there. Albert was the epitome of farming. He loved to be outdoors working the land, fixing machinery and raising livestock. He farmed with his brother Jim until his retirement. Albert was a devoted family man and loved to joke around with whoever was in his presence. As he and Fran raised their children, he was greatly involved in their extra-curricular activities. He was a club leader in the Bow-Inn 4H club, and a minor hockey coach. He and Fran created many memories while taking their young family to the mountains on camping trips. Albert was passionate about sports. He played men’s slow pitch, “old timer” hockey and was an avid curler. He spent many hours watching sports, at any given time Albert could recite any sport statistics. He also enjoyed the outdoors including, hunting, fishing and camping with his family and friends. At retirement, Albert and Fran pursued their passion for camping and travelled for many years to places like Alaska, Yukon and the Maritimes. During these adventures many stops where made to see who could catch the largest lake trout. Albert was a father, grandfather, brother and friend who was honest, loved life and will be sadly missed. Albert is predeceased by his beloved wife, Frances Smith (2010) of 45 years; his father Charles Smith (1975) and mother Eda Smith (1965).
