FIEDLER
JESSIE MAXINE FIEDLER, born in Trenton, Ontario on May 1, 1933 and passed away in Lethbridge on May 29, 2012.
She is survived by her husband Anthony (Tony) Albert Raymond Fiedler, daughters; Laurie (John) Janzen and Nadine (Tim) Helmer, two grandchildren; Erin and Kyle Helmer and one brother Allen.
She was predeceased by her parents; Jessie and James Seabrooke, her sisters; Edna, Ethel, Eileen and Ruth and by her brother James.
Maxine went by her middle name most of her life as she thought Jessie was an old lady’s name.
Tony was in the Royal Canadian Air Force so she travelled to France to live for a year and a half and then travelled through most of Canada. Moving on average of once every two years for the first 15 years of her marriage. When Tony mustered out they moved to Coaldale then to Lethbridge where they bought a home and put down roots where she spent the rest of her life.
She worked for Kresge’s and then Sears Canada until she retired in the 80’s. A few years later she became a partner in Grandma Lee’s with her sister-in-law Rose Janzen until the business was sold, when she retired again – this time for good.
A few years later she began having noticeable memory problems that were later diagnosed as Alzheimer’s. In 2010 it became evident she needed more care than Tony could give her and she went into a home. In 2012 she moved to Edith Cavell Care Centre where she spent the last months of her life and got excellent care and was safe until the end. We wish to thank all the staff at Edith Cavell for everything.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
At Maxine’s request, no Funeral Service will be held.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer Society of Lethbridge, 402-740-4 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB T1J 0N9.

LANGEMANN
PETER JOHN LANGEMANN, beloved husband of the late Edna Langemann, passed away on Saturday, May 26, 2012 at the Chinook Regional Hospital after a brief illness.
Surviving his passing are his sisters, Kay Cahoon of Langley, BC., Anne (John) Dunn of Vanderhoof, BC., and Agnes Thibert of Lundbreck, AB. and in-laws Maxine (George Griffiths) Vogt, Ron (Betty) Salahor of Calgary, AB. and Russ (Connie) Salahor of Victoria, BC., many nephews, nieces, relatives and friends. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his family, friends and neighbors.
Peter was born in Coaldale on June 12th, 1927 and lived most of his life on the farm originally owned by his parents John and Anna Langemann.
He married Edna Salahor in 1969 and together they turned their land into a small piece of paradise which included Edna’s abundant garden and flower beds and Pete’s lush grain and sugar beet crops.
The years that followed were the best of times for both of them. Besides his farming, Pete was involved with various early community organizations including the Forbes Lateral Water Users Association, Coaldale Mutual Telephone Company, and Sugar Beet Growers of Alberta. He was on the board of the St. Mary’s Irrigation District for many years and was Chairman of the Board till his retirement in 1997. During this time he worked on and developed the LoPac Gate which was used in the district to control the flow of irrigation water. The gate was improved on by him in the next few years and the Langemann Gate is used today to control water flow by many irrigation districts in Canada and the U.S.A. His work with the S.M.R.I.D. occupied much of his time and was always directed at benefiting the community he lived in.
As time went by a certain amount of physical frailty caused him to cut back on farming and community work.
In 2008 his beloved wife, Edna, passed away and he never quite recovered from this loss. He was able to stay in his own home aided in a large part by his neighbors who essentially became his family by helping him in so many ways. He was totally appreciative of their help as was the rest of his family.
The Funeral Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 1:30 PM with Pastor Gerald Klassen, officiating.
