BOYDEN
After valiantly struggling back from a car accident in June, Keith Boyden, beloved husband of Ina (Catarina) of Lethbridge, beloved father of Kelly Alan of Ottawa, Kenton William (deceased) and grandfather to Jacob, passed away suddenly at his home on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at the age of 71 years.
Keith also leaves to mourn Brian (Hughena) of Halifax, Daryl (Terry) of Sherwood Park, Myrna Horak of Calgary, Gary (Eileen) of Creston, Neil (Khym) of Lethbridge, Nadine (Don) of Lethbridge, Pat (Theresa) Sherman of Kamloops, thirteen brothers and sisters-in-law on Ina’s side of the family and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and great nieces and nephews.
Keith was predeceased by his parents Peter and Violette, his twin sister Lorainne, his brother Alan and wife Janine, brother-in-law Carl Horak and his niece Susan Sherman.
Keith grew up on the family farm in Wilson Siding, graduated from St. Francis High School and joined the RCMP in 1962. He and Ina were married in Chilliwack in 1964 and were gifted with two sons, Kelly and Kenton. Keith served in numerous locations in B.C. and Ottawa where after twenty years of service he retired in 1992. After living in Saskatoon and Winnipeg, Keith and Ina returned to Lethbridge to be near his beloved parents and family.
Keith was a man of faith devoted to his family, friends and community and a man of his word. He believed in giving back and was an enthusiastic volunteer with numerous organizations, in particular, the Knights of Columbus of which he was a life long member, Lethbridge Curling Club, and Canadian Blood Services where his 165 donations impacted the lives of 495 individuals. He would take great pride in wearing his red serge when asked and was planning to serve at a citizenship court ceremony in October. With joy he and Ina served in various parish ministries in their church, the center of both their lives.
Like his father he could build and fix almost anything and was often called upon to do so for others. He was loved and loving and generous to a fault with his time. How he shall be missed!

ROGERS
RODERICK THOMAS ROGERS, better known as Rody Rogers or just R.T., passed away from pneumonia, surrounded by his family on September 12, 2012 at St. Michael’s Health Center. He was born on January 25, 1927 in the house that he resided in on a farm west of Nobleford until a few months before his passing. In 1951 he married Marguerite Dunlop and together they raised 5 children.
Rody will be fondly remembered as a caring and concerned father offering all kinds of practical advice to his now adult children. He was equally passionate about farming and took an active interest in the daily events on the family farm. Rody will also be remembered for his good sense of humor and as good friend to many within the farming community around Nobleford.
Rody participated in community life by driving school bus for 27 years. He was also a 4-H Club leader for 15 years. In his retirement, he made daily visits to the Nobleford Coffee Shop where he exchanged views around local, national and international news. He prepared for these visits by reading 3 newspapers per day.
Rody is survived by his 3 sons and 2 daughters: Tom (Brenda), Bob, Stuart (Paula), Roberta Rogers and Diane Paul. He leaves behind 4 grandchildren: Mark (Alyshia), Cindy, Ethan and Kaitlynn Rogers and 2 great-grandchildren: Makaylee and Cowan Rogers.
Rody was predeceased by his wife, Marguerite in 1984, sister-in-law, Robina Dunlop in 2006, son-in-law, Doug Paul in 2010 and his four legged best friend and companion for many years, Buster in 2012.
Rody's family wish to express their thanks to the compassionate care he received from the staff at St. Michael's Health Center during his stay there, his longtime doctor, Dr. Sommerfelt, and all the homecare staff who attended to his needs while he lived at home.
A Funeral Service will be held at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at MARTIN BROTHERS RIVERVIEW CHAPEL, 610 – 4 Street South, Lethbridge. Interment to follow in the Mountain View Cemetery.
Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends wish, they can contribute to St. Michael's Health Foundation, 1400 – 9 Ave South, Lethbridge, AB T1J 4V5.
As a final tribute to Rody, tell someone you know that you love them today, while you still have the chance to.
