The CAMROSE BOOSTER, March 24, 2020 – Page 25
Serving your community for over 110 years Neilson, Rose Marie Irene (nee: Banack) 1950 ~ 2020 It is with profound sadness that the family of Rose Marie Irene (Banack) Neilson announces her peaceful passing on March 19, 2020, at the age of 69 years. Rose was born on July 16, 1950, in Camrose, Alberta. Among her many talents were sewing, knitting, cross stitching, quilting, flower arranging and ballroom dancing. She also loved the outdoors, and in the summer spent many weekends enjoying her family while out camping and fishing. When it was too cold to be outdoors, she’d love to bake cookies, make tea, and throw on a Disney movie or figure skating while creating something with her sewing machine. She was a dedicated blood donor and would even donate platelets. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 42 years, Bob; children, Jennifer (Paul) and Cory (Emilee); and five grandchildren. She will also be missed by numerous relatives and friends. In light of the escalating health crisis, travel restrictions and government guidelines, the family has had to accept that we are currently unable to give Rose the send-off that she deserves. A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley. com. Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home St. Albert Chapel Phone 780-458-2222

Doreen Olive Haugen February 22, 1928 ~ March 16, 2020 Doreen was born to Donald and Agnes Campbell in Round Hill, Alberta on February 22, 1928. She was one of 12 children; as she grew up in their busy home, she reveled in brotherly and sisterly antics, contributed to daily life through cooking and sewing, and made memories she cherished a lifetime. She married the love of her life, Hilmer Haugen, on October 26, 1948, and their eyes twinkled for each other for more than 40 years. Together, they raised four children on a farm near Lake Demay. Between keeping up with the kids, running a household, and helping with the farm, Doreen embraced the fun times with her immediate brood and ever-growing extended family. The couple moved to Camrose in 1976, settled into town life, and started their next chapter as grandparents. As a proud baba, grandma and great-grandma, Doreen made treasured memories that ranged from tea parties and nature walks, to camping and hosting countless sleepovers. She loved giving kisses and watching the grandchildren grow. Doreen will be fondly remembered for her quiet strength, kindness, graciousness, compassion, love of laughter and helping hands. Whether it was special celebrations, community gatherings, WI, coffee dates, travelling or simple visits – as a wife, mother, baba and grandma, daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, friend, or neighbour – she adored being involved in the lives of those she loved. Left to keep Doreen’s memory are her children Maureen (Johnny) Boychuk, Randy (Teri) Haugen and Rick Haugen; grandchildren Lana (Dave) Froehler, Warren (Julie) Boychuk, Jackie (Adam) Newstead, Julie Haugen (Josh), Shane (Melissa) Haugen, Stacey (Bennett) Lyster and Sarah Haugen; great-grandchildren Chloe, Jackson, Brady, Riley, Emily, Reid, Harper, Hope, Sam, Rosie and Simon; sister Shirley Stensrud; brothers Stewart (Jeanne) Campbell and Lester (Donna) Campbell; sister-in-law Marion Campbell; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Doreen’s remarkable resilience was portrayed as she endured the losses of her daughter Maxine and husband Hilmer. She is also predeceased by her parents; son-in-law Bud Kiriak; brothers Albert, Tommy, Donald, Bob, George, William and James; sister Margaret; and many beloved relatives and friends. A private family service will be held, with a celebration of life to be held at a later date. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Doreen’s name can be made to the Huntington Society of Canada or the Cross Cancer Institute through the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
