POTUER Frances Alexandra (nee Daniels) Frances Alexandra Potuer of Red Deer passed away at Rosefield Care Center, Innisfail on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the age of 74 years. Frances was born in Summerland, B.C. December 27th, 1939. In 1960 Fran met and married Albert Potuer. They raised their four children in Bentley, before moving to Lacombe in 1981. From 1974 to her retirement in 1992, Frances worked with a wonderful group of ladies at the Bentley General Hospital. She loved her work and the people she worked with. “Do your best but have fun too,” was how she faced life. Frances and Albert returned to Summerland after retiring. Mom considered Summerland “God’s country,” a beautiful place where she grew up and had many, longtime friends. Several sisters also lived in Summerland and she was once again able to enjoy their company. In 1997 Frances returned to Red Deer, Alberta to be closer to her children and grandchildren and she met Ed Mahoney and enjoyed life with the company of a partner. She spent her time camping, fishing (mom did her fishing with her nose in a book!), dancing, painting, bowling and just being together listening to the click-click of her knitting needles while mom created works of art with the doilies she made. “Granny Frannie” as her grandchildren and their friends called mom will always be remembered as the fun loving, full of life, crazy Gramma that would be involved in everything they asked. Sadly, Frances required continuing care by age 67, most of the cherished “golden years” of life denied her, due to illness. Fran is lovingly remembered by Rocky Potuer (Sharon) of Red Deer, Kelly Potuer of Red Deer, Lynette Hansen (Lee) of Red Deer, grandchildren; Jennifer Peake, Courtney Fraser (Tom) of Blackfalds, Graham Potuer (Kara-Lee) of Cochrane, Victoria and Elizabeth Hansen of Red Deer, great grandchildren Nash and McCoy Fraser and soon to be joined by Graham and Kara-Lee’s little one. Frannie will be truly missed by her sister Sheila Bates and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her infant son Kevin Potuer, Albert Potuer her husband of 38 years and her daughter Barbara Kim Dirsten, brothers; Michael, Harry and Denis, and sisters; Gladys, Peggy, Terry, Joan, Freda and Pat.

HOUSEMAN Marguerite With saddened hearts we gently pass over our most treasured Mom and loved one into the heavenly hands of God. Mrs. Marguerite Grace Houseman of Red Deer, AB passed away suddenly on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the age of 83 years with her daughter Lynda by her side. Marg was born October 19, 1930 in Edgerton, AB and grew up on the family farm in Battle River District near Ribstone, AB where she and her 7 siblings were raised. Through the years they remained a close family getting together when possible and you could always expect some “antics”. Mom also maintained close ties with George’s family. Mom came to Red Deer where she attained her MDN (Mental Deficiency Nursing) Degree in 1952 at Provincial Training School (Michener Centre). It is there where she met Buster and on August 31, 1953 they were married. Marg worked until the early 60’s then became a stay at home Mom and devoted herself to caring for Dougie and Lynda. Later in life Marguerite and George became members of Gaetz United Church, volunteering their time and developing many friendships. Marg could always be relied upon to provide baking for various functions. She enjoyed gardening, bowling, travelling and get togethers with friends. Whenever Dougie was at home she always took the time to play “crokinole” with him. She never really mastered the game, much to the delight of Dougie because he would always WIN! Mom and Dad did everything together and in March, 2009 Marguerite lost Buster after 55 years of marriage. Needless to say, this was a significant life change and a large void in her life. Marguerite is survived by her daughter, Lynda (Wayne Windross) and special son, Doug. Sisters: Mary Dorland, Gerry Shacker, Ethel Yakimowich, and numerous sister and brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, Nellie and Jim Smith, brothers Jim, Bob and Bill and sister Eleanor as well as many other special relatives. A Memorial Service in Marguerite’s honor will be held at Gaetz Memorial United Church, 4758 Ross Street, Red Deer, AB,T4N 1X2 on Friday March 28, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Family interment at Alto Reste Cemetery at 12:00 p.m. We wish to thank Dr. Stewart, Dr. Donnelly and most recently Dr. Nogareda, E.R. and R.T. staff for their care. If so desired, memorial donations may be made to Gaetz United Church or charity of one’s choice. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca.
