Marion Edith Behn (nee Rose) 1933 — 2020

Marion Edith Behn (nee Rose)

Dec 20, 1933-Sep 4, 2020

Marion was born in Clarenceville, PQ, and brought up Chateauguay and Stanstead. After secondary school in Westmount and Stanstead, Marion earned a BSc(Hc) at Macdonald College of McGill University and during summers worked as a telephone switchboard operator. It was at Macdonald that she met her future husband, Roger, and they enjoyed 65 years of marriage. After Macdonald, she taught home economics at Smith’s Fall (Ont) Secondary for a year. Marriage and a move to the Lower Mainland of BC led to a job as a laboratory technician in the Red Cross blood lab, eventually becoming chief technician. A further move to Chase and the adoption of two children made Marion a mother. A spell as a bank teller, followed by partnership in Cloud 9 Fabrics led to custom dressmaking and the sewing of many quilts filled her days. Later years were enlivened by weekly Bridge games and a small circle of friends.

Always friendly, Marion was a good mother and a great partner,

 who will be forever missed.

Richard Wilfred Stamm

It is with tremendous sadness we share the news of the passing of Richard Wilfred Stamm on September 4th 2020, Kamloops, BC at age 72.

Rick was born in Regina, Sask. on December 13, 1947. He is survived by his loving wife Kim, daughter Corinne and sons Darran, Steven, Kurtis and stepson Donald.

Also survived by brothers Charles, Bob, Ed, sisters June and Susan and many nieces and nephews and grandchildren.

Rick was a member of Masons and Eastern Star. Rick was well educated and well versed in many fields that led him to want to help many people. Rick had many interests that he loved thinking through, and his primary passions were his astronomy, photography, and carpentry. While he enjoyed the occasional target shooting, he took up golfing in his later years.

Rick enjoyed helping people, which led him to his final job at Home Hardware, where anyone could approach him for help and understanding to solve their issues. Rick would listen and ask for a moment to think it through and either come back with an answer and tips or directions to the person that could solve their problem.

Rick will be missed and forever loved by his family and many friends. Rick will be laid to rest with his Mother and Father in Saskatchewan.

In lieu of flowers, please make any donations in his memory to Canadian Cancer Society.

Katlind Alanlee Paquette

It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our son Katlind, who was born on November 15, 1990.

He leaves behind his mother Barbara Paquette, father Aaron Paulsen, auntie Judy Lindquist and uncle Steve Paulsen. Also survived by hs common-law wife Kim Willard.

Katlind loved life so much. He loved life to the fullest.

His accident was a tragic end to a happy life.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
