Annual Australia Day Celebration in the Pass A total of $68,605 was raised for community groups during Riversdale Resources Australia Day on January 28 NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter A local mining company hosted an event celebrating Australia Day at the MDM on January 28. Riversdale Resources started hosting Australia Day in January 2015 with this being the seventh time they have held the event. The night’s activities included dinner and a midnight lunch, live auction, silent auction and dancing with live music. Attendees were encouraged to come dressed for the beach party theme, with one table even bringing their own patio umbrella. The event was a fundraiser for the Crowsnest Cando Society’s Revive the Roxy Project and for the Crowsnest Pass Memorial Society. Both groups gave a short presentation on how the funds raised would be used. The event MC was Keith Bott, a former Riversdale community liaison, with bartending provided by volunteers from the Blairmore Lions. “Riversdale is grateful for the incredible support of all of the sponsors who donated money and items to the auctions, all of the people who came out and spent money on two very worthwhile causes, and for the Riversdale staff who put it all together,” said Jackie Woodman, community engagement at Riversdale Resources. The total raised from the event was $43,605, with Riversdale adding another $25,000 for a total of $68,605. Each group will get over $34,000 toward their current projects.

1942 ~ 2023
Daryl was born and raised in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Following his study of music in North Dakota, he accomplished much throughout his life in the areas of music education and performance. Daryl began his career in New Zealand where he lived four years. During that time he directed productions, performed with the New Plymouth Musical Theatre Society, taught high school band, played percussion in the New Plymouth City Band, and even learned to sail!
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nancy Erika Brazzoni, formerly of Coleman, Alberta. She was called into the arms of our Lord on January 25, 2023 while receiving care at the Crowsnest Health Centre in Blairmore. She was blessed with eighty years of a full and wonderful life.
Daryl taught in Moose Jaw, New Zealand, and Athabasca, but spent most of his career in the Crowsnest Pass. For years he directed countless musical productions and served as an Alberta Teacher’s Association Rep for his school division. Daryl also conducted the Crowsnest Community Choir, a group he was proud to show off at their many performances in southern Alberta. Daryl will be remembered for the impact on the students he taught and his mastery as a choral conductor.
Nancy was born on February 9, 1942 in North Vancouver, BC to parents George and Viola Patterson. She blossomed into a beautiful and graceful young lady who captured the heart of Marcel Brazzoni and on November 27, 1959, they pledged their love in holy matrimony. Their joy was compounded greatly with the birth of ten children whom they loved and cherished. Nancy was a devoted wife and loving mother who found great happiness in the smiles and laughter of her family. She also enjoyed reading, crafts and writing to numerous pen-pals. Nancy was an amazing woman who made a positive impact in our world and although she is now gone from our eyes, she will live forever in our heart.
As a hobby, Daryl raised pure bred Balinese cats and travelled extensively as a judge at cat shows. He was particularly proud that he once raised the number one champion Balinese cat in Canada.
NANCY BRAZZONI
She is survived by her children: Marcel Jr, Leanne (Don), Steven (Janet), Darrell, Cammy (LJ), Trevor (Sheryl), Tracy (Nassar), Lisa (Cam), and Tiffany (Leo); her grandchildren: Brandy, Erika, Michelle, Nicole, John, Ceanna, Kimburley, AJ, Madison, Brandan, Joshua and Jasmine; her great-grandchildren: Jayden, Tayla, Kadence, Maylynn, Michael, Chaeli and Carson; her siblings: Brian, Laurel (Ben), Valerie and Muriel; as well as her extended family and many friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Marcel; her son, James Dean; and her parents, George and Viola. A private family graveside service will be held in the Passburg Union Cemetery with Fr. Joseph Nagothu presiding. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed towards Diabetes Canada (www.diabetes.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca. Fantin’s Funeral Chapel entrusted with arrangements. (403) 562-8555.
After retirement, Daryl moved to Calgary to spend more time with his mother and to be closer to family. He enjoyed attending Calgary Opera, the CPO, musicals, as well as the CNP Music and Provincial Music Festivals. Daryl is survived by his daughter Elizabeth DiMarino (Dominic), son Michael Pewtress, and his grandchildren, Hailey, Benjamin, Berlynn and Jackson. Daryl was predeceased by his parents, George and Dorothy Pewtress (nee Hiar), and by his younger brother Laurie Pewtress. As per Daryl’s wishes no formal public funeral will be held. The family will celebrate his life in a private service. A memorial scholarship will be created in Daryl’s name and awarded to students who are pursuing further opportunities in music education or performance. Anyone wishing to donate to the scholarship may do so online through the campaign at https://fnd.us/fundrazr. com.darylpewtress?ref=sh_3C80r3. Condolences, memories and photos can also be shared on the McInnis & Holloway website where a tribute video honouring Daryl can be found. In living memory of Daryl Pewtress, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes. Visit www.mbfunerals.com to send a condolence.
