STEINBACH, Peter Raymond Together again, Peter Raymond Steinbach, left us suddenly on January 14, 2009 to be reunited with his loving wife. Peter was born in Bassano on December 20, 1941 to the late Bernard Steinbach Sr. and the late Girllie (MacLean) Steinbach to become the youngest of three. Sharing in his childhood was a sister, the late Catherine (Mooney) and his brother Bernard (Ruth) Steinbach. As a youngster school began in a one room school house in the Hamlet of Lathom and later he spent his teen years in Medicine Hat at a convent for boys, providing him with a little more discipline perhaps. In an attempt to further his education, Peter attended Olds College where he became a friend to many and offered them a sense of adventure. Coming back to his roots in Bassano, he began to build his own family, marrying Frances Josephine King on November 21, 1960 and later welcoming children Mildred (Kerry) Massie, the late Peter Franklin Steinbach; Kristine (Larry) Huggard, Josephine Steinbach, Patricia (Andrew) Volb, and Stephanie(Brett) Kemp along with several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With a love of the land, Peter took to the fields and spent his life as a rancher tending to dryland, irrigation, cow calf and feedlot operations. Always thinking outside the box, everything Peter did was BIG. As a risk taker Peter carried out his life on the edge shown through his love of aviation and innovative ideas. Much of the land was mapped in search of antique John Deere tractors and anything as rare as himself. Always up for a game of golf or coffee at the kitchen table conversation carried the presence of a man with intelligence, stubbornness and innate sense of humor. Known as a big man with a big heart he will forever be missed. Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at the Bassano Community Center. Deacon Robert N.J. Wilson officiating and a private family Interment will be held at the Bassano Cemetery. In memory of The Master of the Barbecue, a beef on a bun luncheon will follow the Service.

HODGSON, (nee Folk) Dorothy 1925 - 2009 Dorothy Margaret Folk was born in Innisfail to Dee and Beryl Folk in 1925. With her parents or husband she lived numerous places in Alberta - Markerville, Red Deer, Westlock, Manyberries, Etzicom, Bow Island, Drumheller and Vermilion. Lastly, she lived in Edmonton. While living in Vermilion Dorothy met Ernest Hodgson and they were married in 1951. Dorothy was passionate about life. She was courageous, generous, fun, adventurous, welcoming and interesting. Dorothy preferred to play piano or read to her grandchildren to doing housework. She loved to travel and had many trips with family and on her own. She made a home where friends and relatives were always welcome, providing good food, flowers and an attractive table. She had a passion for music. After obtaining two music degrees she taught piano for over forty years. She played the organ, sang in church choir and loved to go to concerts with family or friends. She particularly liked classical but was always ready to listen to other types of music. Dorothy liked to go and support people she knew who were performing, particularly her grandchildren. Dorothy was an active volunteer. She worked with United Church Archives and Edmonton Presbytery, the IODE, Allen Gray Auxiliary board and committees at Lifestyle Options. This is in addition to various ways she helped in whichever church she and Ernie were attending. Dorothy was also tough minded and had spunk. She was a good role model for her daughters and was proud they had turned out to be strong and independent. She was a good companion to Ernest and loved God her entire life. She will be sorely missed. Dorothy is survived by her husband of fifty-seven years, Ernest Hodgson and her daughters, Mary Beryl Long, Frances Hodgson, Audrey Hodgson-Ward (George Ward) and Ellen Hodgson. She is also survived by grandchildren, James Keltie (Rhonda Wilson), Katherine Belanger, Simon Belanger and two great-grandchildren, Christopher Buyer and Kamryn Keltie. A Memorial Service will be held 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 21, at Knox Metropolitan United Church, Edmonton. Dorothy did not want a lot of flowers at her funeral.

ELY, Dorothy Ann. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ann; wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. Ann began her life's journey in Norfolk, England on June 5, 1945. After being diagnosed with cancer, Ann fought on with exemplary courage, bravery and determination right to the very end which came on January 11, 2009 in Montreal, Quebec. Ann leaves behind her very special soul-mate for thirty-eight years, Arthur Shane, her children Joann (Gerry) Boisvert, and Scott (Wendy) Campbell, her sister Judy (Robert) Lalonde of Burlington, Ontario, her niece Nadine (Jamie) Lalonde, nephew Phillip (Vanesa) Lalonde, sister-in-law, Barbara Campbell, her grandchildren Carrie, Stephanie, William (predeceased), Melissa, Amanda, Chelsea, and her great-grandchildren, Katie-Lynn, Kayanna, Daniel, Thomas and Gary, as well as her many friends and co-workers. Ann was predeceased (2007) by her mother, Marjorie Ely, a Lance Corporal of the British Army, and her father, John (Jack) Ely (predeceased 1987), a Private of the Canadian Armed Forces. Our family expresses our heartfelt thanks to the administrators and co-workers of Rothenberg Capital Management and Domfoam International Inc. for their kindness and caring support during Ann's seven year relentless battle. We also wish to thank the doctors and support staff of the Montreal General, the Royal Victoria and the Montreal Chest Institute for their excellent care given to Ann. Cremation has taken place. Visitation and funeral service will be in the chapel of Kane & Fetterly Funeral Home, 5301 Decarie Blvd. (corner Isabella), on Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 10 a.m. A reception will follow, with interment to take place at a later date.

SWITZER, Mary Helene - To her doctors and care-givers, Mary Helene Switzer was “a miracle”. But to the many people whose lives she touched she was simply the most caring individual many of them had ever met. From her July 11, 1938 birth on Hemlock St. in Sudbury, Ont., to her Jan. 12, 2009 death at 22 Howard Ave. in North Bay, Mary's cheer and charm proved capable of penetrating even the gruffest of exteriors. No-one understood this more than her husband Maurice, who met Mary in 1975 in Belleville when she was a widow raising two daughters. Mary proved to be a patient gardener and Maurice a late bloomer during their 33 years of marriage. She tried to teach him patience and compassion when he tried to convince her that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points of view. Mary was small in stature. She insisted that she was one-half inch over five feet tall, and always had trouble finding shoes to fit her size 5 feet. But the Creator endowed her with a striking beauty — heads turned when she entered a room. In addition to looking for a reason to like everyone she met, one of her greatest assets was the ability to confront and overcome her fears. She progressed from being skittish of large dogs to riding an elephant at a touring circus, and hopping aboard a camel in the Judean Desert. She was nervous about new technology — Mary never used a bank machine or operated a computer — but she could balance any household's budget and commit her deepest feelings in handwritten letters to friends. She abhorred violence and suffering, covering her ears when newscasts reported incidents of cruelty to children or animals, but she was able to withstand all the discomforts associated with sustained anti- cancer treatment. While unwavering support for Maurice's career in the newspaper industry inevitably took Mary further from other family members, it also provided the couple with opportunities to make new friends in every part of Canada — they kissed the cod in St. John's and snacked on sugar-coated salmon atop Vancouver's Grouse Mountain. They vowed not to leave the best until last. They sunbathed in Cancun and snorkled in Honolulu; they shopped for Murano glass in Venice and Matryoshka dolls in Yalta; they watched Sammy Davis Jr. in Las Vegas and Peter Ustinov at Stratford, met Johnny Cash backstage in Sudbury, and saw Evelyn Hart pirouette in Winnipeg. Mary bought Maurice his first set of oil paints, he took her on her first canoe ride. Mary instilled in Maurice an appreciation for his heritage by showing him how much she loved her Slovak roots. Her beloved parents Stefan Pavlik and Maria Kurej left Jakusoce - - a village of 16 households — to make a life in Canada, and Mary made three pilgrimages back to visit her many cousins. Together with Maurice and granddaughter Bianca, she made the trip three years after doctors had predicted that her inoperable lung cancer would kill her. Bianca's mother — Andrea (Frank) Zimperi and aunt, Lisa Doracka — both of Timmins — speak and understand Slovak because their mother thought that was an essential part of their upbringing. Mary refused to let go of this life until she was good and ready. In addition to members of her immediate family, her indomitable spirit will comfort nieces Georgia Volker, Valerie (children Allan and Katrina) and nephew Mark Lesnick, all of Toronto, and Mother-in-law Ruby (Marsden) Hicks of Lakefield, Ont. She was predeceased by her beloved sister Anne Lesnick and first husband Milan Doracka. Mary's family are inviting friends to join them in a celebration of her love-filled life at Omond United Church, 319 McKenzie Avenue, North Bay, Ontario, from 2-5 pm on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009. She would be pleased if anyone wants to honour her memory by making donations to charities promoting research into cures for lung cancer and lupus, or to the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary near Huntsville, Ont. Arrangements entrusted to the MARTYN FUNERAL HOME 464 Wyld Street, North Bay, Ontario P1B 1Z5 705-472-8810. Online condolences at www.martynfh.com Mary's spirit is in a better place, shining in the night sky with all the other stars. 11386227

KUCAN, Dr. Joseph - It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. Joseph Kucan announces his sudden passing on January 15, 2009 at the age of 63. He will be dearly missed. Beloved husband of 38 years to Jeanne (Obright); adoring father to Allison (Dan) Hahn of Waterloo, Michael (Shannon) Kucan of Wingham and Dr. Graham Kucan of Hanover; doting Papa to Karina. He is also survived by his mother Matilda Kucan of Hanover and his mother and father-in-law Jack and Esther Obright of Hanover. He was predeceased by his father Rudolf Kucan. Dr. Kucan practiced as a Chiropractor in Hanover for 34 years. Those who knew him professionally will remember him as a hardworking, caring and passionate person. He was a life-long learner who always believed in “having many tools in his toolbox“ in order to provide the best possible care to his patients. Just prior to his passing, he worked relentlessly to increase awareness of chronic Lyme disease and lobbied the Canadian government to acknowledge international standards for diagnosis and treatment of the disease; a cause that was very dear to him. To his family he will be remembered for his generosity, sense of humour and his loving and healing touch. His life was an example to us, inspiring us to be our own individuals, work hard and achieve success through persistence and learning. His influence on our lives will last a lifetime. Visitation will be held at MIGHTON FUNERAL HOME, Hanover on Sunday 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m. with vigil rites at 2 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday January 19, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Family Church, Hanover. Father Murray Farwell officiating. Memorial donations to the Lyme Action Group will be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. Donations may be made through the funeral home or sent to P.O. Box 1095 Mount Albert, Ontario, L0G 1M0 or donated at any TD Canada Trust Branch, to: TD Branch 3056, Account #5204294.
