Sad news from Salmon Arm BC.. My mum Alice passed away April 16, 2019 at 89+ years.
Another of the original ” Silent Partners” has now left the rest of us behind. It is very hard to find the words to express the sadness and loss that our family is feeling. Mum came to Banff to work at the Banff School of Fine Arts and while there, met and married a young warden- Ole in 1950. While still expecting her first of four children Mum and Dad were stationed at Healy Creek for over 15 years. At first it was a 3 room log cabin ( with an entry porch at the rear). While expecting her third child (me) the Parks added a kitchen, a bathroom and a small back door porch along with a well under the house equipt
There were many trials and tribulations over the years but through it all she remained strong and a person who didnt put up with sass from us kids
One of her wishes was that the Canadian Park Warden Alumni Association keep working on the Oral History program. So in lieu of any flowers etc she requested a donation to the Association in her memory. There was no service by request but this summer/fall her ashes will be joining Dad and her daughter at a special place to them.
Kind regards Robert Hermanrude
