Serving your community for over 110 years Ida May Orr December 26, 1935 ~ July 6, 2020 Ida was born on December 26, 1935 to Arthur and Petra Norman. She passed away peacefully on July 6, 2020 at the age of 84. When Ida was a young girl, her mother passed away. Because her Dad could not look after all of his children, Mom went to live with her Godmother Jenny Sjolin and her family. Ida was united in marriage to Merril Orr on November 14, 1956. They farmed in Rosalind until they completely retired in 2007 and moved to Camrose. Left to cherish her memory are her children Laureen (Ross) Herder, Cathy (Jim) Urkow, Wendy (Tim) Buckle, Shelly (Roger) Urkow, Leanne (Curtis) Vikse, Linda (Kevin) Burkard; eleven grandchildren; twentyfour great-grandchildren (with one more on the way); one sister Jean Getzinger; one stepbrother Oscar Sjolin; sistersin-law Grace Sjolin, Marion Hoflin, Sylvia Turner, Bonnie (Ron) Kercher, and Marlene (Tim) Shopland; and two brothers-in-law Keith Schweer and Tom (Sharon) Orr. She was predeceased by her husband Merril; infant son Kenneth; brothers Albert, Walter, Bob and Teddy; and stepbrothers Karl and John Sjolin. Mom’s memory will be forever cherished in our hearts and will be dearly missed by family and friends alike. Due to Public Health restrictions, a private service has been held. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial donations in Ida’s memory are gratefully accepted to STARS or to the charity of one’s choice.

Thekla “Peggy” Ann Rissling September 23, 1925 ~ July 3, 2020 Peggy (Thekla) Rissling passed away peacefully on Friday, July 3, 2020 at the age of 94 years. Peggy was born in the rural area of Luseland, Saskatchewan on September 23, 1925, the youngest child of Michael and Anna Phillips. She grew up on the farm and attended various rural schools in the area. In 1945, she married Mike Rissling from the Denzil/Grosswerder district. They farmed three miles northwest of Luseland from 1946 to 1977, and they retired to Camrose in 1978. Peggy was a wonderful mother and homemaker – she was an excellent cook, baker, gardener and enjoyed the outdoors, square dancing, reading, hockey and baseball, visiting with friends and playing cards. She was a gentle, kind soul, and a beautiful and classy lady, always congenial. Peggy was a CWL member for 73 years; much of her volunteering was in the background in a quiet manner. Peggy’s family and faith were most important to her. Left to cherish her memory are her children Linda (Vern) Klotz of Edmonton, Karen (Vern) Reichert of Beaumont, Brian of Bruno, Saskatchewan, Robert (Marlene) of Camrose, and Patricia (Blaine) Panas of Camrose; twelve grandchildren Pam (Dave) Mitchell, Brad Klotz, Trevor (Orianna) Klotz, Denise (Donavin) Stefanic, Michelle (Mark) Ly, Amanda Wood, Sarah Rissling, Colton (Kayla) Rissling, Austin Rissling, Jessica (Mike) Blair, Tyson Panas and Christie Panas; sixteen great-grandchildren Dawson, Aiden and Brock Mitchell, Sydney Klotz, Violet and Lewis Stefanic, Ava, Kate and Evan Ly, Ryden Rissling, Peyton, Chloe, Aleigha Rissling, Zephrin, Masen and Ella Hatchey; as well as sisters-in-law Louise Phillips and Laura Rissling; and many nieces and nephews. Peggy was predeceased by her parents; husband Mike in 1994; her siblings and in-laws MJ Phillips, Tillie (Joe) Weber, Anna Phillips, Emma (Ben) Pohler, Molly (John) Burgardt, August Phillips, Joseph (Mary) Phillips and Otto (Kay) Phillips; as well as a number of nieces and nephews. Due to Public Health Restrictions, a Private Immediate Family Service was held on Friday, July 10, 2020 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Peggy’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta or to Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation.
