Barbara Jean Lawrence 1947 ~ 2020 On March 15, 2020, Barbara Lawrence passed away while on her dream vacation to Ixtapa, Mexico, at the age of 72. She is survived by her husband Gary of 53 years and her son Bradley. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Blaine, Cassie (Ryan), Meghan, Frankie and Xzaydrien and greatgrandchildren Hayden, Jacob and Hannah; and as well by her sister Kathy (Ian); brothers Bill (Barbara), David (Debbie) and Doug Nelson; sister-inlaw Diane; stepsister Isabel (Lachlan); in-laws Dale (Susan) Lawrence and Rita (Larry) Reinhart. She was predeceased by her parents Royal and Mary Nelson as well as her brother Bob Nelson. She was born in Bentley and grew up in the Woodlea area of Red Deer, attending Central and LTCHS. Barbara was an avid reader and enjoyed crocheting and knitting numerous mitts and toques for the newborn babies in Camrose and Red Deer. Her hobby of collecting antiques was never-ending and resulted in a remarkable collection. Her goal in life was to care for others and early in her childhood, she decided to be a nurse. By age 22, she was a wife, mother and registered nurse, being the first married student to graduate from her nursing school. Her active nursing career lasted 43 years in eight different communities, and at retirement, she still wasn’t ready to quit delivering babies. A strong woman whose patience and love comforted many and she will be missed. Cremation has taken place and, in accordance with her wishes, no service will be held.

November 18, 1942 ~ May 1, 2020 Stanley Woodrow Davis was born in St. Paul, AB, to Cecil and Ilie Davis and big sister Arlene. The family lived on the farm at Fork Lake, AB until 1947, when they loaded their belongings into the back of a pickup truck and moved to Spokane, Washington. They returned to Alberta in 1950 and settled in Lac La Biche. After high school, Stan moved to Edmonton in 1960, where he held a variety of jobs and played music with his friends. In 1964, he began his career as a power lineman with Calgary Power (TransAlta Utilities) and remained with the company until his early retirement in 1994. In 1965, he married Jeannette Strayski and in 1966, they welcomed their first child, son Everett Lee. Daughter Lisa Marie followed in 1970 and the family was complete. Stan and Jeannette moved to Camrose in 1967. He remained in and around Camrose until his sudden passing at 77 years of age. Music was a big part of his life. When he arrived in town, he immediately contacted the local radio station, CFCW, and put a band together. He played bass guitar in a number of bands and entertained thousands of people over his lifetime. He never passed up an opportunity to grab his guitar and play a song for you. He loved to travel and visited many places, with his favourite being the island of Isla Mujeres in Mexico. Stan’s greatest love was his family and friends. Not only was he an amazing father, he was also great friends with both of his kids. He had a very large extended family throughout Alberta and the US and kept in contact with almost every one of them. He truly valued his relationship with each and every friend, and of those, there were many. Left to celebrate his memory are his children Everett Davis and Lisa Davis; his former wife Jeannette Davis; niece Chris Jenkins; nephew Craig Jenkins; brother-in-law Russell Huser; and dear friend Effie Longhe. He was predeceased by his parents Cecil and Ilie; and sister Arlene Huser. Cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held at this time. A celebration of life for all Stan’s family and friends will be held at a later date. If family and friends so desire, donations in memory of Stan would be greatly appreciated at the Camrose Food Bank. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.
