Vincent Erik Eriksson
November 24, 1931 ~ July 13, 2022
Vincent Erik Eriksson of Camrose, Alberta, formerly of Czar AB, passed away on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at the age of 90 years.
Vincent Eriksson was born November 24, 1931 on the family’s farm just north of Czar Alberta; the 3rd child of Gustav and Gerda (nee Hanson), with older siblings Louise and Luther. From a young age, he was an avid reader and a quick learner. At one point he received the Governor General’s medal for academic achievement. He went on to the University of Saskatchewan, receiving a BA in 1954. With further studies was awarded a double-honors in history and philosophy and his Bachelors of Divinity in 1957.
Vincent first met Mary Ellen on a bus to Regina to the university parliamentary forum. Mary Ellen was reporting for the student newspaper and Vincent was a student parliament member. They were married in 1956.
After an internship in Duluth, Wisconsin, Vincent was called to a 5-point parish in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan where David, James, and Jon were born. He also completed a Masters of Arts in Philosophy. In 1962 he served a parish in Fort William, Ontario for one year.
In 1963 Vincent accepted a position at Camrose Lutheran College where for 28 years he taught courses in history, religious studies, and philosophy. In 1964, Margaret was born, and Bart in 1969.
Vincent’s love of history meant stopping at all roadside historical markers, museums, forts, and interesting churches during summer holidays. He was involved with the NDP, several historical societies, and Sahakarini. He served two terms on the Camrose School Board, on church council, and in other church related positions. More recently he attended the Saturday morning Men’s Bible Study and the World Mission Group at Messiah.
Vincent had a keen interest in gardening, baking, and taught himself electrical wiring and the basics of wood frame construction to work on the family cabin, also helping his children with their projects. His childhood practice of reading to his parents in the evening developed into a life-long practice of reading aloud after meals and before bedtime. This was one of the family’s most joyful experiences. The practice of singing hymns was another. On their several vacations overseas with Mary Ellen they visited their children and he pursued his interest in history.
After retiring from teaching in 1989, he wanted to go back into parish ministry and served sequentially nine parishes on an interim basis.
Vincent led a life of integrity and faith, embracing many challenges and adventures along his life’s journey, successfully raising a family gifted with their own amazing contributions and talents. His good humour, compassion, strong faith in God, instinctive nature to speak up for truthfulness and forbearance were among just a few of his qualities. He left a lasting imprint upon the lives of many students, congregational members, and church communities. We lovingly commend him to the care of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Vincent was predeceased by his daughter Margaret; parents Gustav and Gerda; sister Louise Palm and brother-in-law Hans Palm; brother Luther and sister-in-law Berit Eriksson; and nephews Erik Eriksson and Garnet Eriksson. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen; his children David (Barbara), James (Kumiko), Jon (Karen), Bart (Darina); eleven grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; nine nieces and nephews; and other family members.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at Messiah Lutheran Church with Rev. Bev Swanson officiating. The service will be live streamed starting at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, from the Messiah Lutheran Church website.
If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute, World Mission Prayer League, Canadian Lutheran World Relief, or Messiah Lutheran Church.

Q. How can I establish a “Fund” with the Battle River Community Foundation?
A. A Fund may be launched with as little as $1,000 and a pledge to grow the Fund to $10,000 within ten years. Additional contribution may be made monthly, yearly or as a onetime donation. When the fund reaches $10,000, a permanent endowment fund, named as you wish, is established. It will then start giving back to the community, in accordance with your instructions, forever.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!
Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.
Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again. Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

There is nothing like a lazy day on a dock just casting a line and waiting for a nibble. Camrose and District Fish and Game Association Pleasure Island is the perfect place to kick back. Maintained by volunteers, this beautiful little gem of a place offers so much – fishing at a well-stocked pond, walking trails, making use of picnic areas, and enjoying the natural amphitheatre and observations sites, all in a serene natural setting.
