It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Betty Bryant. She came to this earth on January 31, 1921 and the angels took her January 31, 2020 at the age of 99. We know that she is in peace and is playing her piano as this was one of her many musical talents. She loved to sing dance and play the accordion, organ, and piano. As this was a very important part of her life mom would love to play and put smiles on everyone’s faces as she sang at any event at Pinegrove. One of mom’s other talents was she was a fabulous knitter and enjoyed making sweaters for the family.
She was very well liked by the staff and the residents at both Pinegrove and Rivers Bend. She was always happy and never complained about anything. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her children Wayne (Jan) Harper, Evans Harper, Anita Harper and Doreen Day. She leaves 8 grandchildren, Clint, Blair, Kraig, Kallis, Ryan, Rhonda, Roxy and Kelly. She also was blessed with 11 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews that will miss her dearly.
Predeceased by her late husband James Harper and son Les Harper and all of her siblings.
We would like to thank the staff at Pinegrove for their loving care to our mother and to Donna who gave mom great friendship at the home.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Anna Gruca on January 29th 2020 at Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her family.
Anna is survived by her loving husband Ryszard of 52 years, sister Maria, daughters Beata (Krzysztof), and Malgorzata (Krzysztof). Her grandchildren: Daniel (Kelsie), Sandra (Nick), Angelika, and Jakub as well as her great grandson Leo who brought her so much joy.
Predeceased by her mother Elżbieta, father Stanisław, and brothers: Kazimierz, Stanisław and Stefan.
Anna was born in Mostki Poland in 1946. In 1967 she met the love of her life and a year later they got married. They went on to have two beautiful daughters. One of which took a chance on a life in Canada. Anna and her husband decided to move to Canada in 1995 to be with her daughter, son in law and grandchildren. Over the years in Canada Anna was like a second mom to her grandchildren Daniel and Sandra, she helped mold them in to who they are today and taught them all her secret recipes. The memory of Anna’s fresh baked bread, cabbage rolls, and pierogis is one that will live on forever. Anna was a strong, charismatic, funny and loving woman. She lived life to the fullest, and family was always the most important thing to her.
Anna took a piece of each of our hearts when she left us and she will be forever missed.
We would like to thank Dr. Weimer, Dr. Cindrich , Dr. Schmidt, and all the nurses in ICU who provided such amazing care to Anna during her final days.
Prayers will be recited at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 6:00pm on February 6th and the Funeral Mass will be at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 10:00am on February 7th.
