January 9, 1951 – October 8, 2014 Douglas Lofgren of Camrose passed away on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 at the age of 63 years. Doug was born on January 9, 1951 in Edmonton, AB. He was adopted by Freeman and Rose Lofgren some thirteen months later. He attended school in Camrose and graduated from Camrose Composite High School in 1969. Thereafter, he attended N.A.I.T. in Edmonton and trained as an electronics technician. He had a passionate interest in all things related to technology.

In August 1999, he married Betty Steinbach whom he met while working at Doughboy’s Restaurant. Due to illness, Doug took early retirement from his career at the Camrose Canadian. We will remember Doug for his audacious humour, love of his hometown, and love of Betty and his family. You will forever be in our hearts, and you will forever be loved. Left to cherish his memory are his father Freeman; and brother Padget of Edmonton. Doug was predeceased by his mother Rose in October 2013; and his wife Betty in April, 2014.

In loving memory of

Anne Bobik who passed away on October 21, 2008 A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have   saved you, You never would have died. In life, we loved you dearly, In death, we love you still, In our hearts, you hold a place No one can ever fill. A light from our household   is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. Some may think you are  forgotten, Though on earth,   you are no more, But in our memory,   you are with us, As you always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are   for keepsakes, With which we’ll never part, God has you safely in   His keeping But we have you forever   in our hearts. Forever in our Hearts Rest in Peace, Mom Love always, From your Family
