January 14, 1950 ~ May 5, 2025

The family of Ronald Howard McConnell sadly announces his peaceful passing on May 5, 2025. Born on January 14, 1950, in Elk Point, Ron spent his early years in Ashmont and made his home in Coronado, just north of Gibbons, throughout his working life and into retirement.

Ron is lovingly remembered by his wife, Peggy, who cherished their life together. He was a devoted father to Chad (Rozanna), Andy (Amy), Patrick (Chrisy), Ted, and Todd (Sam), and his love for them was evident in his efforts to provide for his family. He found deep satisfaction in ensuring their well-being.

Ron’s greatest joys blossomed in the presence of his grandchildren: Grace, Lucas, Josh, Keegan, Ethan, Shyann, Riley, and Makayla. Even the furry, four-legged members of the family brought him immense delight. He treasured the times they were near.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that you plant a tree in his memory, a living tribute to Ron.

An open-house-style gathering to commemorate his life will be held on

Daryl Gregory Ross, aged 66 years, passed away on October 27, 2024. Born in Saskatchewan, he spent his life in the Edmonton area. Daryl had a number of health issues from the time he was a baby and dealt with asthma and then COPD his entire life.

Daryl’s health issues were the least captivating aspect of who he was. In his later years, his health became the most frequent topic of conversation when people inquired about him. We choose to remember him for the more dynamic aspects of his personality and his interests.

His nickname was Buppy. It was his first word as a baby. He had an infectious laugh if you were lucky to hear it. As a kid he loved Red Skeleton and later Monty Python and SCTV. He had a sharp sense of humour. He was huge music fan. Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Queen, and lots of prog rock shook the house when he was a teen. He made great chili, loved popcorn and ice cream, and ate his Kraft dinner straight from the pot. Don’t ask to share – you weren’t getting any. He loved Christmas and was known to count presents under the tree. He looked forward to baked salmon at Christmas dinner. He had no time for gossip – he really wasn’t interested. You could be in the same space all day with him and never have a conversation. He was comfortable with silence. He always had time for a nap – at his house, or your house. He loved animals and owned cats and dogs most of his life. He was a life-long Montreal Canadiens fan. He had a keen interest in photography and documented many camping trips and life around the farm on film. In later years, he spent many hours doing woodworking. He liked reading or watching history and nature programs. Daryl loved his mom, Vera, and it might not have seemed

apparent to some, he was grateful for his sister Myrna’s help in his final years navigating his health issues. He was stubborn, but he lived his life the way he wanted to.

Daryl leaves behind: his sister Myrna, his niece Keltie, and his nephew Steven. He was predeceased by his father Lawrence, his mother Vera, and his brother Barry. Daryl had many cousins in Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as childhood friends.

Upon passing, Daryl requested no funeral take place. We kindly request that you remember him in your own way.

Her family was her pride and joy. She will lovingly be missed but never forgotten.

Aline was born and raised in St. Amelie, Manitoba. Aline moved to Brandon, Manitoba, for employment and there she met and married David Roddick where they had 4 children.

The effects of a house fire extended their adventures eastbound to the ROCK (Newfoundland). They travelled for many years, back and forth from Newfoundland to Alberta, eventually settling back in Alberta, working in Bon Accord, Rochester and Fort McMurray. They then moved to St. Albert for Aline’s health and managed an apartment building for many years before making the move back home to Manitoba. While there David passed away in 2000. In 2018 Aline moved to Morinville, Alberta to be closer to her family. In 2022 Aline moved to Wainwright, Alberta to spend time with Maggie’s family. Her adventures have ended, she is now HOME.
