Raymond Gray

August 3, 1940 - April 22, 2022

Born in Drumheller and spent many of his 81 years here, in addition to Calgary, Bottrel, Winnipeg and Abbotsford. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Phyllis (2003), active in Kiwanis and the Abbotsford Food Bank as volunteers. Ray leaves behind sister Rena Lucas, brother Bill Ford, son Warren Ford (Doris) as well as many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He was a firefighter with the City of Calgary for 12 years before going into business running the Bottrel General Store and campground. He and Phyllis helped with the harvest each year, loved to dance and travel and enjoyed spending time with family. Ray spent his final years at Drumheller Hospital in Continuing Care. The staff loved him, took very good care of him; and for that we are so grateful. Ray’s cremains will be interred in the Drumheller Cemetery with his Mother, Rose Ann Ford, on his birthday (August 3) 2022 at 11:00 a.m.

Nola Jean Brown

February 23, 1965 - July 13, 2022

You will always be remembered.

It is with great sadness we must announce that our family and friends are grieving the loss of wife, best friend, aunt, cousin, niece & sister-in-law, Nola Jean Brown Wallace.
Nola was diagnosed with leukemia in early October of 2021. She had won the battle and was scheduled to be out of the hospital Monday, July 11th, 2022. On July 8th Nola fainted while in the hospital and suffered brain damage due to loss of oxygen to her brain. She was rushed into ICU at the Foothills Medical Center and was immediately put on life support. On Tuesday, the doctor came back with the unfortunate news that due to the fall and the brain damage, there was no way that she would survive this. On July 13, 2022, she went to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Nola is survived by her loving husband John, best friend Kathy and husband Dave, sister-in-law Roxy, nephews
Cameron and Landyn, mother-in-law Ann, John’s sisters Sharon (Mario), Linda, Debbie, Arlena, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
She was pre-deceased by her father Ken, mother Esther, brothers Lou and Darwyn, nephew Taylor, and father-in-law Eric.
There will be a Celebration of Life on Thursday, July 21st at the Handhills Clubhouse at 1:00 p.m.
If you feel the need to bring something special, please bring brownies as this would make Nola feel so loved.
