Elizabeth Kozdrowski of Camrose, Alberta was born March of 1940 in Tofield, Alberta. She was the first born of Ella (nee Kleinschroth) and Adolf Weder. She grew up on the family farm near Kingman, Alberta, along with her younger sister. Betty married the love of her life on June 5, 1959. They had 60 adventurous years together until his passing in 2019.

Due to Walters work, they made many moves throughout the province before they were able to settle down in their own home in Camrose. She lived there until 2023 when it became too hard for her. Another move was in store, and she moved to Faith House in Camrose.

In the early years of marriage, Betty worked at Brown's Grocery in Ryley and later in a clothing store in St. Paul, but her pride and joy was looking after her "Boys". Betty tried her hand at many different crafts and hobbies as the trends changed but stuck with crocheting and knitting which she truly enjoyed. She made many afghan blankets which were given away as well as many kept along with dish and face cloths and hundreds of slippers.

The family took every opportunity to camp and fish, heading out almost every weekend and holiday. Betty's favorite was fishing for perch, and she was also the filleter. In winter, when not out ice fishing, they could be found out on the ice at the curling rink-and trophies were won. Betty always watched the televised bonspiels.

Betty enjoyed cooking for family and friends. When the boys were growing up there was always fresh cookies and her favorite rice krispie squares about. The pantry was also stocked with her home-made jellies, jams and all kinds of pickles. She was proud of her petite, tasty and soft perogies that were always a staple of many meals and every special occasion.

Many of these activities except camping and fishing slowed down after her first big health scare on December 23, 1988, when she underwent a major operation to remove one lung due to cancer. A second bout of cancer resulted in a mastectomy and chemo treatment in 2003. The final blow was being diagnosed with heart failure in early 2019.

She lost this final battle the morning of May 26, 2026, at St. Mary's Hospital in Camrose at the age of 86. She will be dearly missed.

Elizabeth is survived by her son Lyle (Laurel), in-laws Stan (Bernice) Kozdrowski, Rose Lansdown and many dear nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Walter in 2019, son Lonnie in 2020, her parents Adolf and Ella Weder, sister Rosaline Weder, in-laws John and Jean Kozdrowski, brother-in-law Ernie Lansdown and niece Dianne Kozdrowski.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, June 20, 2026 at Weber's Mount Pleasant Chapel in Camrose.

Rose Marie F. Stang (nee: Peter) passed away peacefully on June 12th, 2026 at the age of 90. She was born November 1st, 1935 at home, on the farm, 10 miles north of Bawlf, Alberta, to Joseph and Matilda Peter, the fifth of nine children.

She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Godmother, aunt, friend and woman of great faith.

From an early age Mom displayed her beautiful, natural ability to care for all those around her. Her role on the family farm entailed helping her Mom with the baking, cooking, cleaning and looking after her younger siblings. This early training was evident in how she cared for her own family.

In her teenage years, her loves included playing softball, socializing with family and friends, music and dance. Her love of dancing lead her to attend many country socials. It was at one of these socials where she met the love of her life, Bert Stang, who was the handsome accordion player in the band. They wed on August 7th, 1956 in Bawlf. Over the next 10 years they welcomed 7 precious bundles of joy.

The magic of life and love was created in their small home and forged an inseparable bond which is deeply cherished. With a large family and a small budget, Mom and Dad were always able to provide for every spiritual and material need and woven into the fabric of our lives was the importance of connecting with family, friends and faith. There was so much music, so much laughter and so many card games and through it all, prayer.

Even though she was very busy raising her large family, Mom believed in the importance of giving back to her community. She spent many hours canvassing for various charities, especially the Kidney Foundation, and was a faithful member of the Catholic Women’s League for 64 years.

As her family grew and left home, she again filled her time working part-time at the Camrose Booster and crocheting endless numbers of cotton dish cloths that we all loved to receive, a loving gift from loving hands.

Mom and dad displayed a relationship of loyalty, devotion, joy, love and commitment. Truly a role model for us all. As her children married she was blessed with 19 grandchildren and then 18 great-grandchildren which filled her heart with even more love.

After dad’s passing, Mom soldiered on. She stayed in her own home for another ten years, continuing on with love and an unwavering hospitality to all who stopped at her door. Her ability to make you feel like you were the only one in the room endeared her to all. She was such a great listener and was genuinely interested in anything you had to say. She received every phone call with such grace ending every conversation with, ”Thank you so much for calling…always good”. Mom was a safe warm place in this often busy, noisy world.

When Mom was asked, ”How are you?” she often said,“ Day by Day”. She was so wise to just take one day at a time. Those who are left to mourn her will do our best to carry on, “Day by Day”.

Last and most importantly was Mom’s unwavering faith in God. She did not talk about her faith, she never sought out the spotlight, instead she lived out her faith in her quiet acts of service, her actions and in her words. God used Mom’s heart and her hands for His work here on earth.

Dear mom we pray, that He will lift you up on eagles ’wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to rise like the sun and hold you in the palm of His hand.

Rose will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children: Loretta Brown (Hugh), Donna Fausak (Floyd), Elaine Bichel (Blaise), Doug (Petra), Brian (Joan), Debbie Wagner (Brad) and Allen (Bonnie), 19 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. She is survived by her siblings Claire, Dolores, Delphine, Dennis and Agnes; numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws.

She was predeceased by her husband Berthold E. Stang of almost 58 years, her mother and father Matilda and Joseph Peter and siblings Marge, Joseph and Ernie and numerous in-laws.

A Funeral Mass will take place at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church in Camrose, Alberta. Interment will follow at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada-Northern Alberta & the Territories Branch or the charity of one’s choice.

He believed strongly in giving back, supporting local causes, and preserving the roots and stories of the area he loved so dearly.

He was known for his kind heart, thoughtful nature, and the genuine care he showed to both people and animals alike.

One of Laurie’s most cherished sentiments reflected the special bond he shared with his beloved dog, Skeeter: “Dear God, please help me to be the man Skeeter thinks I am.”

Above all else, Laurie treasured his family.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather Albert Jacob Fleck at the age of 90 on April 25th, 2026 in Camrose, Alberta.

Albert was devoted to his family, leaving behind a lifetime of treasured memories. He took great pride in his work, first as a gravel truck driver and later as a farmer. He loved nothing more than saddling up his horse and spending hours checking cows, finding peace and purpose out on his farm near Tofield, Alberta, with his cherished dog Sadie by his side.

Summers were spent enjoying one of his favourite past times - rodeos. With the motorhome packed, he and his family would head out onto the road, creating memories that will be valued forever. In the winter months, he could be found in the arena, watching his grandchildren, always with his signature half-coffee, half-hot-water in hand.

Despite his strong work ethic, Albert had a playful side that all the grandchildren adored. April Fools Day was his absolute favourite. He never missed a chance to pull a prank or share a laugh. As the grandchildren grew older and began turning the tables on him, he stayed ready- often waiting by the phone just to answer with “I know what day it is.” Albert also had a well-known sweet tooth. He never turned down chocolate or a dippy cone, as there was always room for something sweet, no matter the time of day.

He is lovingly remembered by his children Kimberly (Doug), Allan (Yvette), Stacey (Chris); his sister Angeline; his grandchildren Jodisa (Glen), Lyle (Kristen), Andrew (Chelsea), Jordan (Erika), Sara, Hailey, Tyler; and great-grandchildren Mack, Birk, Ilah, Austin, Georgia, Emma, Nolan and Avery. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Judy, and brothers Lorne, Leonard and Leroy.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Stars Air Ambulance or a charity of your choice. Albert was a proud supporter of Stars, often saying “you never know when you will need the help.”

He will be deeply missed. We take comfort in knowing his life was well lived and he is now reunited with his wife Judy, likely celebrating her belated birthday together once again.

Details regarding the celebration of life will be shared with family and friends.
