Dennis was born on September 19, 1962 in Camrose, Alberta. He passed away on January 17, 2017 at St. Mary’s Hospital with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer. Dennis grew up on the farm just outside of Edberg where he learned everything about the family trucking business. He married Karen Coen of Ferintosh on April 29, 1989. Their son Dylan was born in June 1991, and son Brandon was born in November 1993. Dennis, Karen, Dylan and Brandon eventually moved to the farm by Edberg and took over the family trucking business. They later expanded the business to include a very productive and busy gravel pit. Dennis took great pride in the family business, “Boden Sand & Gravel Supplies”. He enjoyed teaching his sons everything there was to know about driving trucks, operating equipment and, of course, the maintenance and fixing that goes along with this type of work. Dennis is survived by his wife Karen; sons Dylan and Brandon (Lindsay); sisters Shirley (Les) Erickson and Sharon (Jeff) Banack; father-in-law Hans Coen; sisters-in-law Julie (Craig) Lindholm and Patty Anderson (Rob Staldeker); brother-in-law Michael (Laura) Coen; numerous nieces and nephews; and many, many friends. Dennis was predeceased by his parents Ted and Florence Boden; mother-in-law Ruby Coen; and brother-in-law Brian Anderson. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 from CityLights Church with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Interment has taken place in Edberg Lakeview Cemetery.

Joyce Crosbie 1934 ~ 2016 Joyce Lillian Crosbie of Red Deer, formerly of Camrose and High River, passed away suddenly at her home on December 8, 2016 at the age of 82 years. Joyce, one of seven children, was born at Ohaton, AB in 1934 to parents Alice and Jim Sheets. In 1951, Joyce married Jim Church. Joyce and Jim had three children, Cheryl, Bob and Catherine. Jim passed away in March of 1975 which was a difficult time with Joyce having just turned 41. A few years after Jim’s passing, she began dating Gordon Crosbie, an old friend from the oil and gas days, which led to their engagement and marriage in 1977. He brought an extended family with him, daughter Cheryl and her family. Joyce studied interior design by correspondence and started her own business “Coach House Interiors”. When Joyce was 50, she went back to school and studied hair styling. After working in a couple shops, she eventually opened her own shop in downtown High River. Joyce enjoyed meeting people and making friends in the community. She was an active volunteer with a finger in many pies. She was involved with the Oil Wives, Daughters of the Nile and Shriners. Joyce was active in whatever her kids were involved in, including being a Girl Guide leader. In her later years, Joyce was involved with the High River Hospital Auxiliary, the Palliative Care Society and the High River Handi-Bus. She enjoyed sewing, quilting and a variety of other crafts and hobbies, always staying active. Joyce worked hard and most importantly, was always there for her family, extended family, friends and community. Joyce is survived by her children Cheryl Peebles (Dennis), Bob Church (Dina) and Catherine Church (Michael); four grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and numerous other family members and friends. Joyce was predeceased by her parents; husbands Jim and Gordon; and both stepchildren Cheryl and Doug Smith. In following with Joyce’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family gathering was held to honour her life. For those wishing to do so, memorial donations may be directed to the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation (Cardiac Care), 3942-50A Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4N 4E7.
