EDWARD WALTER HEEG
1923 - 2006
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend. Ed Heeg passed away peacefully on October 24, 2006 in the Sunny View Care Center in Medicine Hat at the age of 82 years. Ed was born on December 29, 1923 in Estuary Saskatchewan as the oldest of four sons born to Gottfried and Mary Heeg. After spending some time in Estuary the family moved to the farm southwest of town. Ed attended Saskedge School; a country school two and a half miles from home. Together with his three brothers, Ed learned the three R's at Saskedge, but they also learned how to play baseball and as he grew older baseball was a big part of his life. He played many games for Empress Baseball teams becoming well known as an excellent catcher. Ed also began his life long vocation of farming. In 1941, together with his Father and Brothers, he purchased a section of land in the Acadia Valley area. In 1948 they purchased the Moore farm southwest of Acadia Valley. This farm was Ed's pride and joy and remained so for his entire life. On July 5, 1950 Ed married Ida Gill. They lived on the farm in the summer time and in Empress in the winter. Like his Mom and Dad, Ed and Ida were blessed with four sons: Ken born in 1951, Howard born in 1954, Larry born in 1958, and Tim born in 1971. In 1967 Ed, Ida and family moved to Medicine Hat and commuted to the farm in the busy seasons. In 1976 they decided that the farm was the place they wanted to live so they built a new house and returned to the farm. They tried semi-retirement in 1995 but the farm was always calling Ed and in 2003 they returned to the farm once again. They lived there until Ed's failing health forced his move to the Sunny View Care Centre in Medicine Hat on September 26, 2006. Ed had a deep love for his family, Agriculture, especially the cattle industry, but most of all for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Wherever he lived, Ed was always involved with the Church Council holding many different offices over the years. In the later years Ed got a lot of enjoyment from watching sports, especially hockey on T.V., and was an avid Edmonton Oilers fan until his battle with dementia took all that away from him. Ed leaves to cherish his memory: his wife of fifty six years, Ida; sons, Ken of Solvang, California, Howard (Linda) of Phoenix Arizona, Larry (Rita) of Acadia Valley, and Tim (April) of Acadia Valley; grandchildren, Jim, Rhonda, Angela, Scott, Steven, Greg, and Alli; brothers, Albert of Saskatoon, and Robert of Burstall; sisters-in-law, Vi Anhorn and Pat Heeg of Medicine Hat, and Dorothy Heeg of Saskatoon; brother-in-law, Milton Gill (Helen) of Victoria, B.C.; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Gottfried and Mary Heeg, his brother, Herbert Heeg, as well as his parents-in-law, August and Emma Gill, and sister-in-law, Mildred Heeg.

In 1993, Martha moved to the Alfred Egan Home in Bow Island where she met many friends who will miss her. Martha enjoyed people, traveling and parties. She had a great sense of humour which she expressed by laughing at herself and at the staff. Martha always enjoyed going on vacation, whether it was a day trip or an overnight stay. One of the highlights of her life was an Alaskan cruise. While going on this trip, Martha had the opportunity to experience several different modes of transportation. She was able to fly on an airplane , ride on a bus, and float on a ship. She took pleasure in seeing many of the sights at various ports and was able to purchase several souvenirs. One of these items was a doll wearing a fur coat which was added to her doll collection. Martha loved babies and enjoyed visiting with children. She would very gently hold and kiss babies before giving them back to their mother. At Christmas, staff remembers Martha pointing to the Christmas tree angel and affectionately calling it "tree baby". It seems very appropriate that Martha was called home to be with her maker at her favorite time of year, Christmas. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by the staff and friends at Alfred Egan Home.
