ANNABELLE E. COOK
September 12, 1915 - December 9, 2007
On Sunday, the 9th of December, a memorable woman, whose first loves were music and dance, swayed to the bells of heaven and sank gently, rhythmically, into the arms of God. A woman of passion and conviction. A woman to whom a small act of kindness earned a wealth of gratitude. Annabelle Elizabeth Cook (Lynch). Our mother, sister, grandmother and aunt. One of three Irish, Catholic sisters and five brothers, Annabelle was born and grew to ripe young womanhood in the small and dusty Medicine Hat of 1915. Her beauty and her zest for life caught the eye of an alert young man who quickly put a ring on her finger before leaving for England and the Second World War. Roland John (Slim) Cook left more than his young bride behind. Baby David was born while his soldier papa was overseas. Anne held her child close, and waited four long years for the return of her beloved. After the war, Anne and Slim invited four more "Cooks" into their expanding world; a world of gaiety, laughter and music. The young war-bride soon found herself in the centre of a large and vibrant family. In 1962, Anne and her children, along with Ellen Lynch (her mother and the children's grandmother) travelled with Slim to Winnipeg, and started a new life amongst strangers in a big city ­ a brave act for a shy, small-town girl. Not surprisingly, she made many close and enduring friendships during the twenty years they lived and worked in the centre of Canada. After the children had grown and their work was done, Anne and Slim set sail back across the prairies to the old hometown. They both lived so happily here; gathering up the remains of family and friends and throwing open their doors to their robust brood of visiting children and grandchildren. What was happiness to Annabelle? Happiness was nothing more, but nothing less, than being awash in the sounds (the music) of love. She took pride in each and every one of us. She gave us her heart unflinchingly. She put her trust and her high hopes in us all. We have her to thank for our zest for living and our respect for the lives we've been given. She made us laugh; she was a kind, loyal and infinitely complex and marvelous woman. Dance on, Annabelle Elizabeth! Move amongst the stars with your dearest of partners; your beloved Slim. Remembered fondly and with great love by your children; David, Susan, Patrick, Shelley and Sandra; grandchildren; Ron (Mona), Randall, Michael, Thomas, Ellen, Dayna, Jyll, Daniel, and great-grandsons, Rory and Alex, brother, Mickey Lynch, Sister-in-law, June Cook; daughter-in-law Shelley-Rae, sons-in-law Mario and Greg, nieces Shirley-Ann, Donna and Barbara; nephews Bill (Gail) and Dick; dear Wpg. friends, Charlotte, Wendy and Al, and Cathy Boyer of the M.H. VON. Annabelle was predeceased by her husband in 1995. The Funeral Service will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, at 2:00 P.M. Interment will follow at a later date. Honourary pallbearers are sons-in-law, Mario Guerra, Greg White and Bill Klasky. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital Palliative Care Centre where Anne received such tender care, 666 - 5 Street S.W., Medicine Hat, T1A 4H6.

EDITH CLAY
March 11, 1910 - January 30, 2008
Mrs. Edith May Clay passed away on January 30th, 2008 in the arms of her daughter, Sharon. Edith was born on March 11, 1910, and lived her 97 years in Medicine Hat. She was the eldest of the six children of Maude and Ernest Townsend, and was predeceased by her five siblings, Arthur, Stanley and Lawrence Townsend, Evelyn Fabian and Irene Wing; her sisters-in-law, Helen Townsend, Ella Clay and Marjorie Clay; her brothers-in-law, Woodrow Wing, Cyril Clay and Reginald Clay and nephews, Terry Townsend and Newton Cowan. She is survived by two sisters-in-law, Mary Townsend and Eleanor Townsend as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Edith considered herself the "matriarch" of her family, and truly enjoyed any family gatherings. She will be forever and greatly missed by her only daughter, Sharon Clay. Edith married the love of her life, Earle Clay, on January 30, 1942. She passed away on what would have been their 66th anniversary. Their 18 short years together were the happiest of her life. They enjoyed archery, hiking, camping and photography. Earle passed away on July 14, 1960, leaving Edith and Sharon to continue on together. Edith dedicated her life to helping Sharon achieve her goals. She returned to work at Eaton's, followed by ten years at Oliver's Dry Goods. Although Edith left school at 15 to care for her own mother, she never lost her desire to learn. She was always asking questions and wanted to know "all the details". When she totally lost her eyesight, listening to stories on tape or CD and listening to Sharon read the NEWS each day, kept her mind active. She also required detailed descriptions of any concert, play, trip or activity in which Sharon was involved. Edith was very devoted to Westminster United Church, and for many years was an active member of the UCW. When her health began to fail, Edith moved into Riverview Care Centre in November of 2003, where she received loving care from the dedicated staff. Edith was a special lady who will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

It is with sadness that the family of Leona Layvon Chesney, beloved wife of Roy Chesney of 56 years, announce her unexpected passing on Saturday, November 1, 2008, at the age of 73 years. Leona was born on July 31, 1935 near Etzikom, Alberta, a daughter to proud parents, Charles and Elizabeth Anderson. She was raised in the Etzikom area where she not only received her schooling, but developed from a young girl into the classy lady that was Leona Chesney. She took great pride in her girls, often sewing them special outfits. She carried herself well and her disposition was that of a person who could easily adapt to her surroundings, regardless of the task that was presented before her. She had the innate ability to meet the challenges of life and always made the best of what she had. Leona spent her life in the service of helping people. She had a heart of gold and always gave the best of everything she had. At any given time, her door was open to those who needed her whether it was for food, shelter, advice or just true friendship...she was there. Her home was the 'hub' of the community and was well visited. Having a home where everyone felt welcome was one of her greatest achievements. As an informal invitation, she would yell, 'Come on in,' to those that showed up at her door. Children were always given a special place in her heart and home and she would never say 'no' to any of them. Her teachings were based on trust and the belief that if given the opportunity, children will learn more by doing, rather than being shown. Leona leaves this world with a legacy of love and commitment, which will be carried on by her children, grandchildren and the next generations to come. Along with her husband Roy, Leona's love will continue to shine in the hearts of her children and their families which includes a daughter, Carol (John) Piea and their children, Kim, Heather (Travis) - (Abby and Bethany) and Paul; a daughter, Kathy (Allan) Cooper and their family Brett and Dan (Cara) - (Shelton, Paige, Kiadence and Brae); a daughter, Gladys (Will) Stryker and their children Rebecca (Blayne) - (Clay and Daina) and Chad (Megan) - (Wyatt and Eli); a special nephew, Robert Anderson and his son, Joel; two brothers, including her twin, Laverne Lee Anderson and Eric (Gladys) Anderson as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

JOSHUA CLEMENT-ANDERSON
2007
Beloved infant son of Christina Clement and James Anderson of Medicine Hat, was called to heaven on Thursday, June 14, 2007. I'm just a little feller Who didn't quite make it there; I went straight to be with Jesus But I'm waiting for you here. Don't you fret about me Mommy, I'm one of God's lambs most blessed; I'd love to stay there with you, But the Shepherd knows what's best. Many dwell here where I live, Waited years to enter in; Struggled through a world of sorrow And their lives were marred with sin. So, sweet Mommy, don't you sorrow, Wipe those tears and chase the gloom; I went straight to Jesus' bosom From my lovely Mother's womb. Thank-you for the life you gave me, It was brief, but don't complain; I have all of Heaven's glory, Suffered none of earthling's pain.
