HUME, Calvin Alexander
December 19, 1927 – May 1, 2015
Cal Hume died peacefully at the Drumheller Health Centre after an extended illness. While under the excellent care of the dedicated staff, Cal was surrounded by his loved ones during his final weeks. Born in Hardisty, Alberta, Cal’s family moved to East Coulee to work in the coal mines. It’s there, as a young man, he met the love of his life, Marie McFarlane. They married, and would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this June. Cal the milkman spent years in the service of Brown’s Dairy, delivering right to the doorstep, and then to stores and restaurants in Drumheller and surrounding area. Before that, he delivered groceries in East Coulee, and worked at the Commander Coal Mine. Cal is survived by his wife, Marie, his children Pat Hume (Diana) of Creelman, Saskatchewan, Penny Jarina (Joe) of Sparwood, BC, Terry Hume (Shelly) of Sparwood, BC, and Lynn Green (Mike) of Orangeville, Ontario, his sister, Doreen Ramsay of Calgary, and nine grandchildren, fifteen great grand-children, and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Drumheller Elks Lodge #54, Box 2260, Drumheller, or to the charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held at the Midland Hall at 2 PM on Saturday, May 16.
