Many in town will recall his ready smile, gentle humor, and the stories that he would share that spanned generations of local history.

Walter Herbold of Coronado, AB, passed away surrounded by family on August 9, 2025 at the age of 90 years. He was born on January 13, 1935 in Kassel, Germany, to Wilhemina (née Göbel) and Heinrich Herbold. He was the second youngest of six children. He married Renate (née Scherze) on August 29, 1959, and the two immigrated to Canada the following year to begin their married life.

Walter was an avid painter and gardener, and was always ready to tell a story about the old country to anyone who would listen. We will always remember sitting around the fire listening to one of his stories while he threw his arms in the air and let out his catchphrase “And I had to laugh!”

Walter is survived by his wife Renate, his children Sandi (Les), Silvia, and Mike (Gloria), his close family friend Butch, and his grandchildren Micaila (Ryan) and Jolene (Craig).

The family of Walter would like to express their gratitude for the kindness and attentiveness of the homecare team that tended to him during his final days.

In loving memory of
Monique Lorraine Pillay (née Berglund)
July 25, 1971 – July 25, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Monique Lorraine Pillay (née Berglund) after a courageous battle with cancer. She chose medical assistance in dying on Friday, July 25, 2025.

She is predeceased by her beloved daughter, Maria.

Monique was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and friend. First and foremost, a mom. Monique’s passion and devotion was centred around her daughter; her eyes would sparkle at Maria’s gentle heart, cleverness, and cheeky sense of humour.

Monique’s own gentle heart and witty sense of humour was always shared to bring people comfort and light up the room.

Monique’s generosity and brilliance shone through; as an accountant, she helped countless people, with a special passion for assisting small businesses and humanitarian organizations. She held a beautiful space of non-judgment and confidence with people in their most vulnerable spaces. This depth of love and kindness was also held for her fur family of many adored dogs over the years.

She lived life on her own terms, with a deeply philanthropic and entrepreneurial spirit. Her courage, perseverance, and resilience gave her a unique compassion for the underdog, and she generously shared her time and resources championing the causes closest to her heart.

She faced her terminal diagnosis with a determination, fighting to stay for her daughter until her daughter’s untimely passing on July 4, 2025. She then faced her death with reverence and navigated the difficult decision with grace and deep thoughtfulness for those around her.

Monique’s kindness, laughter, perceptiveness, and beautiful heart will be missed beyond measure.

September 7, 1961 – July 7, 2025

It is with great sadness the family announces the sudden passing of Ernest Wilson Lloyd Keast on July 7, 2025, at the age of 63.

Ernie was born on September 7, 1961 in Cold Lake, Alberta, the youngest child of Ernest Keast and Ann Jackson and brother to Mona, Andrea and Tracy.

Ernie was a Red Seal welder with an Inspectors Certificate. He was known for his work ethic in his field of expertise and was very dependable. Ernie’s interests were all kinds of sports, especially hockey (go Oilers!). He loved the outdoors, which included, hunting, fishing and gardening. Dore Lake was always a special place for him. He lived on a beautiful acreage just outside of Legal, Alberta.

In later years, Ernie embraced his native heritage. He created the most amazing dreamcatchers, which he sold across North America. He graciously gifted his beautiful work of art to family as well.

Ernie was an avid animal lover, especially his 3 dogs (his “kids”). Anywhere he went, they were right by his side.

Ernie will always be remembered for his caring heart and compassionate soul, especially with his mom. His little crooked smile and giggle will not be forgotten.

Ernie is predeceased by his father, Ernest Keast (August 1961) and his mother, Ann Jackson (February 2024).

He will be lovingly remembered by his family: Dad, Red (Ruth) Haughn; his daughter, Amanda Rimes (Matthew) and grandson, William; son, Andrew Haughn; older sister, Mona Fairless (Greg) and nephew, Johnathan; younger sister, Andrea Haughn and nieces, Brittany (Nathan), Katherine (Norm), and Jacy (Chris); younger sister, Tracy Ruszkowski (Todd) and nephews, Vincent (Desiree), and Landon (Alannah); great nieces and nephews, Liam, Theo, Grace, Ozzie, Emry, Maddie, Kyan, Jake, Isaac, Tobias, Viktor, Ila, Natalia, Aria; as well as numerous extended family, loyal friends and beloved pets.

Ernie will be missed dearly.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Remembering
Donald Edward Cameron
June 5,1946-July 10,2025

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donald Edward Cameron, on Thursday, July 10, 2025 at the age of 79 years. Don was a husband, a father, a brother, a grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.

The passion he had for his cars new and old warmed his heart. He always took time to soak in nature from blooming canola fields to the wildlife within. Don was able to travel to many different places for work and for pleasure. Rocky Mountain House became the place he called home. Don named Crescent Falls as one of his favorite places to visit. He also had a beautiful energy for running 5 kms per day. This joy was shared with the Terry Fox Run every year since the early 1990’s.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation.
