Ursel “Ursula” Schnelle

October 21, 1942 ~ August 27, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the sudden passing of Ursula on the evening of August 27, 2025 at the age of 82 years.

Ursula was born on October 21, 1942 in Bünde, Germany. She moved to Canada in 1981 with her first husband and spent several years in St. Albert, before settling in Cardiff. Mom loved living in the peaceful and green setting of Cardiff.

She met John in 1991, and the two of them were active volunteers with the community and the Rural Crime Watch. They took many trips to see car races with the Dowler family; they enjoyed several cruises and they spent winters in Victoria. In all their activities they made many lasting friendships.

Mom greatly enjoyed the German Ladies group and their pot luck dinners with songs and stories. Mom worked hard, and had many talents. She excelled at baking, cooking, knitting, crochet and embroidery. Her real talent was sewing. Mom was a trained seamstress and was a wizard at sewing. She made beautiful suits and clothing all her life. Mom loved to drive, and always told the story of how she learned to drive on her brother’s 47 Beetle that had the brake connected with a rope. We will miss her dearly.

Ursula was predeceased by her parents Alma and Heinrich, and brother Heinz.

She is left to mourn by her loving husband, John Dowler of 34 years; daughter, Andrea (Detlev) Tenter; grandson, Christian (Sarah) Eckert; daughter, Christine (Dwayne) Schmidt; and Olly the Westie; the Dowler family; as well as extended family and friends in Canada and Germany.

We would like to thank our families, friends and neighbours for all the support during this difficult time.

Arthur Edward Adcock

June 3, 1952 ~ August 19, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Arthur Edward Adcock, who was born on June 3, 1952, and passed away on August 19, 2025, at the age of 73 years.

Arthur’s greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his children, Kassandra Foreman, Stephen Adcock, Damion Adcock (Khynee), and Heaven-Leigh Fenelon (Tyler). He was a proud grandfather to Jules, with another granddaughter expected to arrive in September. He will also be remembered by his former wife and lifelong friend, Tammy Brown. His niece, Kathleen Budzinski for the care she offered him, as well as his many other nieces, nephews, and extended family. He is lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his sisters, Edie Fredrickson, Sylvia Suecroft, Hazel Uphoff (Roland Uphoff), and Martha Adcock.

Arthur was predeceased by his father, Robert Adcock; mother, Esther Adcock; and brothers, John Adcock and George Adcock.

Arthur will be remembered for his one-of-a-kind personality. He carried a “no-nonsense, I don’t give a damn” attitude, yet was always the first to step up and help others. He went out of his way to put everyone else before himself, often giving without hesitation and expecting nothing in return. His strength, generosity, and humor left a lasting mark on all who knew him.

A service to celebrate Arthur’s life will be announced by the family at a later date.

With deep love and fond remembrance, the Family of Miles Millford Roberts announces his peaceful passing, in the evening of August 7, 2025, at the Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert, Alberta, at the age of 72 years, just weeks prior to his 73rd birthday.

Miles will always be loved and remembered by his devoted wife of 51 years, Sandra Roberts (nee Chynoweth). Loving father of Jody Jones (Mel), Amanda Nimigon (Justin), and Laine Roberts.

His absence will have a deep impact on his grandchildren, Zachary Jones, Nicole (Kirk) Gabuna, Amber Nimigon, Erica Nimigon (Josh Graham), Morgan Nimigon, and his great-grandchildren, Millie and Zoey.

A lifelong resident of Haliburton, Ontario, he was a familiar face to many within the community. For decades, Miles worked at the local IGA in Haliburton, a place that became more than his job; it became his second home and a vital part of his identity. Many in town will recall his ready smile, gentle humor, and the stories that he would share that spanned generations of local history.
