Keith F. Josay
December 20, 1940 ~ December 16, 2012
Josay Keith, beloved husband of Maureen Josay of Sparwood B.C. passed away at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital on December 16th at the age of 71 years.
Besides his wife he is survived by his loving son John-Michael (Carmen Hererra)of Penticton B.C., grandson’s James of Penticton, Hayden of Sparwood and Granddaughter Taylor of Sparwood, sister Gail (Rick) of Pender Island, Brother-in-law’s Ronald (Sonny) (Marilyn)Saad of Sparwood and Pat MacGee of Cranbrook B.C. He is also survived by many nephews and nieces as well as cousins and many special friends that he looked at as part his family.
He was predeceased by his daughter Kim Marie, his father John and mother Rose, his brother Wayne and sister Janet as well as his Uncles, Alex, Louis, Mike and Frank.
Keith was born and raised in the Elk Valley and in his younger years was an avid fisherman and hunter. Nothing pleased him more than to be out camping with a group of friends or just with Maureen. His favourite place to camp was White Swan Lake and he went there every year for twenty-five years making many friends from other areas. He had many jobs during his working career but none gave him the fulfillment as did the position he held at the Sparwood Hospital for 18 years.
After his retirement he started a small woodworking business and was very proud of the signs that he refinished for the District of Sparwood and the coal cars that he built. Keith was a gentle realist who took things as they came to him without much complaint, he refused to let the cancer beat him or stop him from doing what he wanted to do. He is going to be greatly missed by his wife, son, grandson, granddaughter and all of his many friends and family.
A Rosary Service will be held at the SAINT MICHAEL CATHOLIC CHURCH, Sparwood, BC on Friday, December 28th, 2012 at 7:00 P.M.
In Memory of Keith donations can be made to Lilac Terrace, Box 1587 Sparwood, B.C. V0B 2G0.

SCHILLING
DOROTHY ADA SCHILLING, beloved wife of the late Fred Schilling of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at the age of 85 years.
She is the loving mother of Bonnie (Brian) Linderman of Blairmore. She is also survived by sisters Julie Lant and Lucy (Tony) Martino, brother; Rob (Denise) Amatto, sister-in-law Anne North and many nieces and nephews.

Dorothy was born and raised in Blairmore. She met her husband Fred in 1949 after he returned from the Service. They married in 1950 and built their own home in South Blairmore, where they raised their only child, Bonnie. After living there happily for 59 years, Dot and Fred moved to The View in Lethbridge in 2007 where she made many wonderful friends and loved being involved in activities.
During her young, married life, Dot worked in sales at various clothing stores in the Crowsnest Pass. She had a great talent for matching clothing to people. This passion led to Dot's Modern Fashions, a sucessfull ladies wear business that she ran for 20 years.
Dot was involved in many Crowsnest Pass organizations and clubs; the Figure Skating Club, Curling Club, Golf Club and Royal Purple. She also loved to help with the annual Fireman's Tea. Cooking and entertaining family and friends gave Dot great pleasure. She was an accomplished chef whose meals were memorable and whose cooking knowledge was shared with everyone.
Despite many medical problems during the last ten years, her love of life and inner strength carried her through. For her family and friends, it will be hard to imagine a life without Dot in it, but we have so many memories of her wonderful, generous and beautiful character. She taught us so much.
Upon Dot's request, there will not be a funeral service.
In memory of Dorothy Schilling, donations may be made to the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation, Blairmore, AB., T0K 0E0
