CHURCHILL Lois 1924-2013 Lois Churchill died Wednesday, February 13, 2013 after a short illness. Lois Mildred Longmire was born in Rumsey on June 17, 1924. She leaves to mourn three children; Marilyn Churchill (John Kennelly), David (Jocelyn) Churchill and Donna (Ken) Cameron, seven beloved grandchildren and six wonderful great-grandchildren. Lois was predeceased by her husband, Stanley in 1986, her sister, Marian Davis in 2004 and her brother, Frank in 1936. With the support and encouragement of her mother, Frankie, Lois attended the University of Alberta at St. Stephen’s College where she proudly earned a Bachelor of Education. Lois taught Home Economics for a few years in Wetaskiwin in the late 1940’s, and that was where she met Stan. Stan and Lois were married in 1950. They raised their family together in Red Deer and in Edmonton until Stan’s early death in 1986. Returning to Red Deer, Lois lived in the home she and Stan had built on Michener Hill. While raising her family, Lois was very active in Choir and in the United Church Women’s groups at Gaetz United Church in Red Deer and Strathearn United Church in Edmonton. Lois was a warm and loving mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, an extraordinary knitter and a skilled seamstress. She had amazing luck with games and rarely lost at Scrabble, even after her memory began to fail. Lois was always interested in the lives of her extended family and loved talking with them. Her family loved her tenacity in continuing to cheer on the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Eskimos. Lois enjoyed sharing memories of her childhood and then building the ‘new’ cabin at Sylvan Lake with Stan, Marian and the family. Lois lived her last seven years at Aspen Ridge where she met old friends and made new ones with residents and staff. The family wishes to thank the Aspen Ridge staff and the home support staff of D’sant Direct Care and Services who provided loving care for Mom in her last years. A Funeral Service will take place at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820 - 45 Street, Red Deer, on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow at the Red Deer Cemetery.

Obituaries MIDDLESTEAD Gloria Ellen March 12, 1945 - Feb. 12, 2013 Gloria Ellen Middlestead, former long time resident of Michener Centre died peacefully at the Red Deer Hospital on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, after a brief illness. Gloria was born to Ben and Clara Middlestead on March 12, 1945, in Edmonton, Alberta. Because of extreme physical disabilities, Gloria was placed at Michener Centre at a very young age.

The Center was her home and the residents and caregivers were her family. The staff took excellent care of her. They decorated her room, made sure she spent some time at her favorite place (the pool), they brought her over to spend time with her best girlfriend and even made sure she had lots of music cd’s to listen to. All her needs were met with love and tenderness. She leaves to mourn her brothers, Dennis (Louise), Walter (Lorna), Wayne and her sister Ellen (Merv Krause), a niece and numerous nephews. Gloria is predeceased by her parents, Ben and Clara Middlestead, her brother Brian Middlestead and her nephew Sean Middlestead. Sweet Surrender
GORDON Shirley 1927 - 2013 On February 11, 2013, Shirley Gordon of Red Deer passed away with family by her side. She now reunites with her husband, Jack; and will be missed by her son, Terry (Shirley Jr.); five daughters, Debbie, Diane (Don) Clark, Joanne, Gail (Brent) Zimmerman and Lynn (Don) McGarvey, as well as fourteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Shirley grew up near Medicine Hat with her sisters, Vivian Stuber and Blanche French. She moved to Taber to work at the Bank of Commerce where she met Jack in the town’s boarding house. They married in 1948 and together they moved from Taber to Hardisty, Olds, Wetaskiwin and finally to Red Deer in 1968. Shirley’s six children kept her very busy cooking meals, sewing clothes, knitting mittens, doing mounds of laundry and leading Brownie troops. When the last of her children became teenagers, she returned to school earning a teachers’ aid certificate at Red Deer College. She continued to care for children at Fairview Elementary School for many years. When she found occasional moments to herself she enjoyed swimming, curling, playing cards, tea with friends, and collecting jokes for the Horizon Village newsletter that she edited for more than a decade. We invite family and friends to a memorial tea at the Black Knight Inn, 2929 50th Avenue, Red Deer on Monday, February 18, 2013 from 2:30 - 4:30.
