DARLENE MARIAN ROBINSON (May 25, 1938 – September 6, 2010)
After a courageous battle with cancer, Darlene passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones at the Claresholm General Hospital in the early morning hours of September 6, 2010. Darlene was born to Charles and Theresa Sava, and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta. Darlene started her long and successful career as a nurse in 1956. She began as a student at St. Michael’s Hospital in Lethbridge, where she met her husband Bruce, and then enjoyed a varied career that included neurology, gynecology, general nursing, and long term care of the aged. For the last several years of her career, Darlene worked with the Claresholm Home Care Program until her retirement in 2001.
Darlene will forever be remembered by her loving husband of 50 years, and her devoted and loving daughters Shannon (Troy Winget) and Sheila, her mother, Theresa, her brother Chuck and family, and nephew Rick and family, along with countless other friends and family whom were blessed to have known her.
Darlene loved to dance and play the piano. She had a sense of adventure that spanned horseback riding along the continental divide to diving the great barrier reef in Australia. But most of all, she loved spending time with her family, being with friends, and playing golf.
Darlene touched the lives of many people through her career first as a nurse in the Lethbridge, Cardston and Claresholm Hospitals, and then as a home care nurse within the Headwaters Health Region. Many will remember her passion for nursing, her caring way, and her smile and generosity.
Darlene maintained a positive outlook throughout her illness, and felt blessed by the love and support of the people close to her. She will truly be missed.
Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service on Friday, September 10, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. at Leyden’s Funeral Home, 4079-1 Street West, Claresholm.

WONG
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of DANNY DOOK LEONG WONG, beloved husband of the late Mrs. Diane Wong.  Danny passed away peacefully at the St. Michael’s Health Centre, surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, September 5, 2010 at the age of 76.
He is survived by his son Peter (Susan) and their children Lily, Simon, and Sophia of Newberg, OR.; his son Kenny (Doug Hermanutz) of Vancouver, B.C., and his daughter Darlene of Lethbridge, AB.  He is also survived by his siblings; Yin, Wong May of Miami, FL.; Chan, Wong Mei-she of Burnaby, B.C.; Seto, Wong May-hung of Los Angeles, CA.; Wong, Oak-sun of San Francisco, CA., and Wong, William Tuk-chiu of Brighton, MA., as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents, Wong, Tat Sau and Chow, Qin.
Danny was born September 13, 1933 in Chungwoola Village in Canton, China.  At the age of 16, with 5 dollars in hand, Danny immigrated to Canada in 1950 under the assumed name of Len Yee, pretending to be the son of a businessman in Calgary.  He then moved to Lethbridge and worked at the Shangri-La Café as a busboy.  He worked there for about 2 years receiving free room and board.  He moved to Banff and worked at the Dominion Restaurant for 9 years where he learned the restaurant business.  In 1961, he moved back to Lethbridge and worked at the Shanghai Chop Suey.  In 1965, he married Diane and started a family a year later.  Danny's hard work and long hours at Shanghai supported his young family, as well as his family back in Hong Kong.  Danny eventually became a business partner in Shanghai and owned the building.  He retired from the business in 1998.
Danny enjoyed his sports.  He played basketball in his youth for an all-Chinese team in Lethbridge.  He was a long time season ticket holder of the Lethbridge Broncos and followed all sports.  He was especially passionate about the Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Eskimos, and Toronto Blue Jays.
In retirement, he did canvassing for many non-profit organizations including the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
His greatest joys were welcoming and meeting people in the restaurant and making his customers laugh.  Later on he enjoyed watching his 3 grandchildren grow up and make him laugh.
Friends and relatives are invited to a Visitation at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB., on Friday, September 10, 2010 from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M.
