Jane Ellen

June 6, 1946 - January 6, 2022

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jane Ellen Flaterud, 75, of Munson, AB on January 6, 2022, with family by her side.
She was born to the late Linton and Betty Cook on June 6, 1946 in Rosetown, SK. Jane graduated from Kyle High School and went on to the University of Saskatoon to pursue a career in teaching. Her career path took many turns over the years. She spent many years as an accountant and retired from her all-time favourite job at Western GM in Drumheller.
She married Glen Flaterud in 1967 and started their family soon after. They moved to Calgary in 1969 and started to build the dream. With hard work and sacrifice they bought a home, owned a business, travelled and retired to Munson in 1999. Jane and Glen were to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary in February. Jane is survived by her husband Glen and her three children, Sharon Soloway (Rod), Delee Helm and Curtis Flaterud. She is also survived by six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, all of which meant the world to her. Jane was predeceased by her brothers John and Tom Cook in 2021.
Jane was a loving wife, mom, grandma, GG and friend. She loved quilting and spent hours teaching and sewing with her grandkids. She was an avid reader and always had a book or two on the go. Jane always made home feel like home to friends and family alike, whether you were sharing a meal, a caesar or a conversation.
Her legacy is one of love, courage, strength, tenacity and warmth. She was our soft place to land. All that have been touched by her will miss her greatly. Our family is so grateful to all of those that loved and supported Jane through this difficult time. Your phone calls, texts, pictures, letters and visits touched her deeply and she was amazed to learn how much she was loved. We are so thankful to have had the time to make sure she knew just how important she was to all of us.
Arrangements for a celebration of Jane’s life will be made at a later date.

He was married in August 1956 to Gigi and was very active in local community chamber of commerce, including the role of Town Mayor. He was also very involved in numerous Catholic parishes, choirs programs and Kinsmen Club organizations.
He retired from the government at the early age of 54. He enjoyed travel and outdoors with his family his entire life continuing on after retirement with Gigi for 35 years to numerous winter US retreats. They spent Canadian summers at the lake fishing, camping and enjoying being outdoors by the campfire. He also enjoyed teaching line dancing, playing recreational pool, chess and cards with family and friends where they had travelled.
Guy was an incredibly talented natural musician, teaching himself almost every instrument and had the gift to play any song by ear without any instruction. He enjoyed singing and dancing to all types of music and his passion continued into his final days where music was his calming grace. He was very proud of all his grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with each of them. It was always important to him to take photos which he also enjoyed viewing and reflecting on those memories in his final days. Guy had a great sense of humor and could recite countless number of jokes and stories through his entire life.
These lasting memories of him will be with his family and all those who knew him, forever.
In keeping with his wishes, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to STARS Air Ambulance in his memory.
