OBITUARIES<br />
Family and friends brought her true happiness<br />
Lena Waltham was born Feb. 23,<br />
1929 at Andrew, Alta. to Kornel and<br />
Pearl Skladan. She attended school in<br />
Andrew until moving to Edmonton to<br />
attend Alberta College.<br />
After finishing<br />
college she moved<br />
to Coronation, Alta.<br />
to work at the<br />
Alberta Treasury<br />
Branch.<br />
A young woman<br />
travelling by bus<br />
from Edmonton to<br />
Coronation –<br />
arriving in the<br />
dark of night. Woke<br />
the next morning to<br />
Waltham<br />
look out her window and say to herself<br />
– where on earth am I?<br />
She met and married our dad Robert<br />
William Waltham on Oct. 7, 1950.<br />
They settled on the farm north of<br />
Coronation and mom worked very<br />
hard alongside dad - raising five children<br />
(one son and four daughters),<br />
gardening (to feed the family); raising<br />
chickens and purebred cattle.<br />
Mom and dad sold the farm and<br />
retired to Coronation in 1981. During<br />
her retirement years mom enjoyed<br />
gardening (for enjoyment), golfing,<br />
travelling and socializing with her<br />
close friends.<br />
All her grandkids have fond memories<br />
of spending holidays and summer<br />
visits in Coronation.<br />
Mom and dad sold their house in<br />
Coronation and moved to Strathmore,<br />
Alta. in 2007.<br />
Mom enjoyed holidays with family<br />
and during her visits she liked to be<br />
kept busy. She always wanted something<br />
to do whether it was cooking,<br />
baking or whatever needed to get done.<br />
These visits always included plenty of<br />
card games!<br />
While mom enjoyed her visits with<br />
family, she looked forward to<br />
returning to her home at Sagewood<br />
Retirement Community in Strathmore<br />
where she lived independently until<br />
her passing.<br />
When asked what her secret was to a<br />
long and healthy life – she would smile<br />
and say, “blue berries and green<br />
onions”.<br />
The time spent with family and her<br />
close friends at Sagewood, who loved<br />
and cared for her deeply were what<br />
brought her true happiness. Mom will<br />
be remembered as a very special lady -<br />
always kind, welcoming and how she<br />
greeted everyone with a smile.<br />
Lena was predeceased by her husband<br />
(Bill Waltham), her parents, four<br />
brothers and four sisters, mother, and<br />
father-in-law (Archie and Susan<br />
Waltham), brother-in-law (John<br />
Waltham) and son-in-law (Lawrne<br />
Airey).<br />
Mom will be lovingly remembered<br />
by her children and grandchildren.<br />
