Clara

June 30, 1928 - November 9, 2021

Mrs. Clara Poulsen wife of the late Benth Poulsen passed away after a lengthy illness on November 9, 2021 at the age of 93 years.
Clara (Gran) was born in Drumheller on June 30, 1928. She was the 3rd child born to Marius and Esther Jorgensen. She attended Blue Spring School, as well as Olds College.
Clara married Benth Poulsen on March 29, 1950. Their home “Crystal Springs” was situated in the Wintering Hills. They farmed as a team for 57 years. She was adept at operating the combine or hauling grain, sometimes with children in tow. In both Spring and Fall Clara brought hot meals to the field, served on a table with chairs… and sometimes a tablecloth. Whether it was sewing or helping in the field she was a dedicated farm wife.
Clara believed in family, and community. She was a member of the Junior UFA…Dalum Friendship Club…4H Leader for the Sewing Club…Church Council…Dalum History Book Committee, to name a few. Many hours were spent volunteering in various community groups.
Clara was a busy lady, never a dull moment. She excelled at all handiwork. It was unusual to see her with empty hands. She is remembered for her caring personality and consistent happy attitude. Clara and Benth retired to their house in Drumheller in the summer of 2008. Followed by a brief stay at the Sunshine Lodge and then moving to a beautiful care home in Red Deer. After Benth’s passing in 2016, she moved to Meadowlark Care Home in Strathmore where she had wonderful care.
Clara leaves to cherish her memory, one daughter Kathy (David), one son Harvey (Della), her grandchildren, Kyle (Erin), Leigh (Jessy), Megan (Jeremy), Gavin (Raquel), Troy (Amy), Dayl (TeddieAnn), great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Ryann, Lane, Soren, Roslyn, Scotty, Rio, Levi, and numerous extended family members.

Lillian Shirley

February 14, 1930 - November 12, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lillian Anderson after a brief battle with cancer. Lil will always be remembered by her sons Kenneth (Bonita), Joseph (Debra) and Frank (Theresa); cherished grand children Kelly (Tom) Lesko, Cameron (Brittany) Anderson, Julie (Ryan) Mehler, Curtis Anderson, Caitlin Anderson, Michelle Schill; and her sister Carol (Larry) Kohsel. Lil was blessed with nine great-grandchildren: Emilia, Harper, Felix, Charlotte, Kasper, Brooks, Hadley, Ryder and Kohen. Lil was pre-deceased by her loving husband of 59 years, Floyd and infant daughter Roseanne.
Lillian was born in Bassano, Alberta February 14, 1930 and married Floyd in 1951. Together, Lil and Floyd raised their family on the farm at Rumsey. Life was very busy with three boys yet Lil and Floyd always found time to volunteer and contribute generously to the community.
They retired from the farm in 2000 and moved to Drumheller, reuniting with old friends and making new “condo” friends. Family, friends and hosting a good meal defined Lil and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a huge part of her life bringing her much joy.
Thank you to Dr. Olfert and Dr. Mateer and the kind and compassionate nursing staff at the Drumheller Health Centre who made Lil’s final days so comfortable.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation or a charity of your choice.
