Ruby Ilene Wynne Ruby Ilene Wynne passed away on November 3, 2023 in Vermilion, Alberta at the age of 95 years.

Lloyd Werboweski

Her family would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who has supported us after the loss of our dearest Mom, Grandma, and Aunt. We know this tremendous loss is shared by many and knowing that she has touched so many others will help us carry on. Thank you for all of the cards, flowers, calls, delicious food, messages, prayers, and donations.

Thank you to the Vermilion Valley Lodge staff and residents who provide a safe and nurturing home for her as short as it was, it will not be forgotten. The staff at the Vermilion Health Centre had provided exceptional care to her and helped her to feel as comfortable as possible when she needed it the most.

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Rosalie Wynne and Shelly (Jim) West; special kitty Nicky; grandchildren Holly and Jessica Parkin, Christian Emsland (Stephanie Baxmeyer), Megan (Brad) Bucharski, and Ryan West; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

She was predeceased by her husband Art Wynne; son Danny Wynne; parents Edward & Clara Blair; brothers Wray (Rose) Blair, Jesse “Shorty” (Kay) Blair, and Alfred Blair; sister in law Marion Blair; as well as Art’s siblings.

A Funeral Service was held on Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at the Wesley United Church, 5014—51 Avenue, Kitscoty.

Thank you to Reflections Funeral Services for the care and devotion in guiding us through the arrangements. The tree planting is very touching for us and she loved nature. We would also like to thank Rev. Carolyn Woodall at the Wesley United Church for conducting the service. Thank you to John Scott for the accompanying music, she appreciated your talent. Thanks to the UCW ladies for the lunch. The United Church was like a second home for her for many years. She enjoyed the fellowship and life-long friendships. She was so proud of the new building.

And a very special thank you to Mom’s dear friend, Verna Johnson, for delivering the eulogy, and for her devotion and friendship over the years, while in the Lodge and in the hospital. You are also a great comfort to the family.

Memorial donations may be made to the Cross Cancer Institute or charity of one’s choice.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lloyd Werboweski of Vermilion at the age of 88 years.

He leaves behind his loving wife Irene, married 63 years, son David of Calgary and daughter Sherry (Wally) Kokotailo of Vegreville and two grandsons Daniel and Jordan Kokotailo of Vegreville, sister Darlene (Martin) Wruck, brother-in-law Robert Holowaty both of Saskatoon, SK as well as other extended family. He was predeceased by his parents Paul and Victoria and sister Gloria Holowaty of Saskatoon, SK. In 1958, he graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon as a Civil Engineer. He spent 7 years with the Federal Department of Transportation building many airport runways and terminal buildings in Fort Chipewyan, Grand Prairie, Lethbridge, Fort St. John, Fort McMurray, Lloydminster and White Horse.

He moved to Vermilion in 1967 working with the Alberta Department of Highways and became District Engineer the following year. The vast district he was responsible for, extended from Bonnyville to Provost and Lloydminster to Elk Island Park. One of his proudest achievements was the twinning of Highway 16 from Lloydminster to Elk Island Park.

He was also chief engineer for the construction of the overpass into Vermilion at the intersection of highway 16 and highway 41 and the underpass in Vermilion on highway 41, both of which improved traffic flow for the town. His district received many transportation safety awards through the years.

He retired on July 1, 1993 leaving all the highways in top-notch condition.

He enjoyed curling and his time spent with the Kinsmen Club. His passion for other sports included Hockey and Baseball.

According to Lloyd’s wishes, no funeral will be held.

Many thanks go to Dr. Louw and staff in Vermilion, as well as the staff at the Valley Lodge and the Long Term Care at the Hospital.

If so desired memorial donations can be made to the Friends of Vermilion Health Care or to the charity of one’s choice.
