MacINTYRE
James Alexander

February 25, 1949 Drumheller, Alberta
- April 23, 2023 Calgary, Alberta

It is with great sadness that the family of James Alexander MacIntyre of Calgary, Alberta announce his passing on April 23rd, 2023 at the age of 74 years.
James was born in Drumheller on February 25th, 1949, and lived there for 44 years. Through these years he was an active member of the community, owning and operating a market garden and greenhouse. As James grew older, he made a decision to branch out into a career in construction. One of his achievements was earning a Civil Engineering diploma at SAIT. This took him to different areas of Canada including Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and his home province of Alberta. During his career he worked on several challenging and diverse projects, such as hydro dams, oil and gas refineries, fertilizer production plants, and irrigation supply facilities. Though his life was enriched through his career, he also enjoyed his time with his family.
James was a father to Deanna, Orin (Fabiola), and Clarke (Jessica), as well as a grandfather to Bailey and Nichelle (Deanna), Eric and Mercedes (Orin), Mavie and Nixa (Clarke). He was fond of the time he spent with every one of them and especially cherished moments spent around the holidays.
James leaves behind memories of warmth and good conversation for those that had the pleasure of knowing him.
Donations on James’ behalf can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.

STUBER
Loretta Leola

November 28, 1935 - May 4, 2023

On May 4, 2023 Loretta Stuber, age 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born in Sugden, Alberta to John and Margaret Ginther she spent her younger years on the family farm in the Pine Lake, AB region. After marrying James Stuber in 1953 they made their home in Drumheller for 68 years and raised 3 children.
Loretta was kind, generous and the nicest person one could meet. She was a hard worker with many vocations starting at age 11 becoming a nanny and would go on to become a seamstress, waitress, salesperson and great homemaker.
She was also a very talented artist painting on canvas (plates, saws, toolboxes) or whatever she could get her hands on. Hobbies were always on the go but many crocheted doilies were made and many games of crib were played. Camping and fishing were also favorites either at lakes in Alberta or as a snowbird in Arizona.
As a Legion member, Loretta was a valued member of her community, volunteering and took on the role of flag bearer for many years. Not only giving back to her community, her best trait was being a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
Loretta (or Etta as some would say) was predeceased by her husband Jim of 61 years in 2014 and numerous siblings. She is survived by her children: Stan (Janet) Stuber, Deb (Jim) Oranchuk and Ken (Louise) Stuber; her grandchildren: Steven (Danielle) Stuber, Kurtis (Elizabeth) Oranchuk, Scott (Melanie) Oranchuk, Tiana (Josalynne) Stuber, Sarah Stuber and Kyndra (Nick) Stuber; her sister Verna Parsons and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

A brief interment service will be held at the Drumheller Cemetery on Saturday, May 13th at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
