PETERS, Bent Tscherning
September 25, 1930 - April 2, 2013


Bent Peters passed peacefully with his brother by his side on April 2, at the age of 82. Bent was born in Drumheller and grew up in the Nickel Springs/Dalum area where he lived until he retired to Drumheller in 1985. He went to school at Nickel Springs and high school at the old Drumheller High School. Bent was an excellent mechanic and welder. He worked as a miner and then at the Dalum Corner as a mechanic and truck driver. He farmed in the Wintering Hills area. Some of the pleasures in Bent’s life were fishing from his beloved boat, building miniature farm machinery, going to farm auctions with his brother and reading. He was quiet and cheerful, very intelligent and informed, and had a great sense of humor. Sadly, arthritis hampered his activities more and more as the years passed. Bent appreciated the excellent care he received at the Drumheller Continuing Care for the last four years. He was predeceased by his brother Soren (Sam) and is survived by his sister Ebba Dyck, brother Flemming (Johanne), and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Arthritis Society of Canada. There will be no funeral. Courtney-Winters Funeral Home in care of arrangements
