HANSEN
Stanley Norman

June 8, 1944 - May 25, 2024
79 years

Stan was born in the Hanna Hospital, the second child of Conrad and Anna Hansen of Craigmyle. He had an older sister, May, and 6 years later a younger sister Lorretta joined the family. He had many jobs in his life-farmer, carpenter, truck driver and finally he and Pat were caretakers at the Delia Arena which was the job that he loved the most.
Stan leaves behind his wife of 55 years Pat, his sons Jason and Steve, his daughter-in-law Melanie and his grandchildren Tanner and Olivia. If you knew Stan you knew all about his grandchildren. He also leaves his sister May (Bob) Bamber and their family and his sister Lorretta Stabler and her family. Also missing him are Pat’s brothers, sisters and families-Wayne and Loree Nixon, Dale and Carol Nixon, Larry Norlie, Wanda and Don Wilkie, Terry and Anne Nixon and Dave and Lynne Nixon. He has gone to join his son Troy, his sister-in-law Linda Norlie, his parents Conrad and Anna Hansen, his in-laws Dave and Betty Nixon and other family and friends.
A celebration of Stan’s life will be held in the Delia Community Hall on July 6, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. The family will be laying him to rest in the Craigmyle Cemetery. If desired, donations can be made to the Drumheller Community Cancer Centre.
Stan’s family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rehan, Dr. Mateer, Dr. Gregg, Dr. Randolph and Dr. Chetty for the care and compassion shown to Stan and to us. Angels come in many forms and Wendy & Tammy at the Drumheller Community Cancer Centre are definitely two of them. We could never thank them enough for the oasis they have created. Stan referred to them as family and many world problems were solved while he was taking treatments. He was loved and will be missed.
Prairie Rose Cremation and Funeral Services were entrusted with the arrangements.

SHARPE
Margaret
“Marg”

November 29, 1958 - May 12, 2024

It is with deep heartache that we announce the passing of our beloved Wife, Mom, Grandma, Sister, Sister-in-law, Aunt, Cousin and Niece, Margaret, on May 12, 2024, surrounded by family at the age of 65 years.
Marg was born on November 29th, 1958, in Rumsey and was the 6th child of 7 to Laura and Harold Pennock. She attended Rumsey School through grade 8 and then grade 9 to 12 at Morrin School where she met the love of her life, Leonard Sharpe. After high school graduation Marg attended Mount Royal College for Interior Design before returning home. On October 14th, 1978, she married her high school sweetheart, Len, and together they settled near Munson to farm and raise their family.
In 1989 Marg began working at Morrin School. In the 25 years working there she formed long lasting relationships with countless students and staff. So many people were impacted by her heartwarming personality.
Throughout her life Marg had many pastimes and hobbies which included curling, reading, camping, cross stitch, gardening, diamond painting, cards and especially quilting, which will be treasured forever by many.
In 2013 Len and Marg purchased a house in Maricopa, Arizona and enjoyed every winter since as snowbirds. Spending time with friends and finding a lucky slot machine at the casinos were a great joy to her down south. Countless trips to Mexico, multiple cruises and summers camping at Red Deer and Michichi helped fill her retirement years.
Marg is survived by her loving husband, Len, her son Jeff (Kim) and daughters Krystal and Alicia (Brad) Greene. Her beloved grandchildren Haylee, Katrina, Julia, Abram, Aidan, Kailey and Emma. Also survived by her sister Mary Newton and brothers George (Cher), Alan, Gene (Betty), brother-in-law Erick Hatt, father and mother-in-law Rick and Anna Sharpe, brother-in-law Cliff (Deanne) and sisters-in-law Cheryl Devaleriola and Susan (Mark) Doyle, numerous aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins, along with many other cherished friends and loved ones. Marg was predeceased by her parents, Harold and Laura Pennock, sisters Elsie Hatt and Doris Cawiezel, sister-in-law Darlene Pennock and brothers-in-law Trevor Newton, Lorry Cawiezel, and Robbie Devaleriola.
There will be a celebration of life held at Michichi Campground on August 3, 2024. Memorial donations may be made in her name to Friends of Morrin School (FMSC) or Acute Care at the Drumheller Area Health Foundation.
