Laurent Bessette
1952-2008
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Laurent Bessette, of Donnelly, formerly of the Jean-Cote area. Laurent passed away June 26, 2008, at the McLennan Hospital at the age of 55 years, after a two-year battle with cancer. Born on July 13, 1952, he was the first child of Real Bessette and Rita Couillard. He grew up on the farm in Jean-Cote where he liked to ride dirt bikes and snowmobiles. He also enjoyed playing hockey, baseball, basketball and other sports. He attended the Jean-Cote and Girouxville schools. In December 1971 he met the love of his life, Lilliane Simard. Less than a year later they were married Nov. 25, 1972 in Girouxville. Their union was blessed with four children: Michelle, Marc, Denis and Paul. They resided in Jean-Cote for most of their children’s childhoods. At the age of 33 he graduated from Fairview College as a First Class Journeyman Welder with a “B” Pressure Ticket. Welding was his passion. It took him into endless years of work in the oilpatch, especially in the Red Earth area where they resided for a few years. After developing an allergy to welding fumes they moved and settled in the Slave Lake area where he worked as a pumpjack technician and resided for eight years. Laurent worked endless hours in order to provide for his family, but he also took the time to enjoy life and his family. He loved to go hunting, camping, boating and fishing which often included the whole family. He also took great pride in his seven grandchildren, spoiling them every chance he got. He was known to treat them often with chocolate. The children loved it and loved him with all their hearts. He took them camping, fishing and boating. He even convinced some of them to go hunting with him. As boring as it sometimes was, they’d get up early in the morning, pack their lunches and spend quality time hunting with pepere (grandpa). Although he loved his children and grandchildren very much, there was one person who was the love of his life, his wife Lilliane. They were inseparable. He even went as far as to hire her as his swamper when he worked in the oilfield. He wanted to keep her close to him right until his passing. In 2006 he was diagnosed with an incurable kidney cancer. Despite the fact he knew time was short he fought with all the courage and strength he had right until the end. Family became the only focus. He was a very strong man and endured months of pain in order to have more time with his family. He never gave up. He always tried just one more thing that just might cure him. He fought right up until his last breath. In the last few weeks he took great comfort in knowing he would be going fishing again with his father-in-law, like old times. Laurent is survived by: his loving wife of 35 years, Lilliane; daughter Michelle Morin, husband Dave and their children, Krystin, Jaedyn and Shanele; oldest son Marc, wife Michelle and their daughters, Emma and Kayla; son Denis; youngest son Paul and Caitlin MacMillan and their children, Hailey and Jordan. He is also survived by: his mother, Rita Bessette; mother-in-law Germaine Simard; and numerous siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father-in-law Georges Simard, nephew Luc Simard and father Real Bessette. The funeral for Laurent Bessette was held July 2 at the St. Anne Parish in Falher with Father Joseph Jacobson and Deacon Reg Bouchard officiating. Urn bearer was Brian Cote, the cross bearer was Jaedyn Morin, the eulogy was read by Michelle Morin and Caitlin MacMillan. Readings were done by Amanda Cote and Dave Morin. Soloists were Krystin Morin, Shanele Morin and Hailey Bessette and Ginette Aubin was the organist. Memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation.

Roland Sylvester Bliss
1918-2008
Roland Sylvester Bliss passed away June 30, 2008, in High Prairie at the age of 89 years. The following comments are part of a eulogy read by his grandson, Michael Bliss, at the funeral held July 5 at the United Church in High Prairie. Roland Bliss was born Sept. 19, 1918 in Edmonton. He was married Aug. 7, 1942 to and is survived by Doris Leah Perry. He is also survived by three children: Lee Bliss (Laura), Brian Bliss (Lillian), Elaine Cann (Rick), and predeceased by a fourth, Lana Louise (1958-1971). Roland had nine grandchildren and 8 1/3 great-grandchildren (Mandee in England is expecting her first child). Roland spent all his life in the High Prairie area, primarily as a homesteader/farmer, in Peavine, north of High Prairie, Sunset House, and Enilda. He was also a trapper, bridge repairman, logger, contractor and truck driver to name a few other occupations. He first met Doris, his wife-to-be, around 1936 when he worked on Great-Grandpa George Perry’s farm. They were married two days before Grandma’s 18th birthday so Grandpa always liked to say that he “married Grandma when she was 17”. He was a very loving, caring husband. Grandpa was devoted to Grandma and loved his children. He was an excellent provider for his family, hardworking and versatile, and in his rare “off” times, he loved to have fun playing cards and other games with them. Around 1975 they sold their farm in Sunset House and moved to town, but that was short-lived. They bought another farm in Enilda, did some more land clearing, built a house, and lived there until 1993 when he finally retired; sort of. My uncle Lee tells when Grandpa was around age 80, a number of the family were in High Prairie to visit, but Grandpa wasn’t at home. He was out driving a grain truck for somebody that needed a hand. He arrived home at supper time with empty lunch bucket in hand, all dirty and grimy, while everyone else was enjoying a cool drink. He said, “well, someone has to earn the living!” Grandpa participated in the Alberta Senior’s Games playing pool. He enjoyed several years in the Golden Age Club, playing in crib tournaments, pool and many other activities. Officiating at Roland’s funeral was Rev. Sharon McRann. Pallbearers were David Bliss, Michael Bliss, Jason Cann, Randy Sidebottom, Lee Bliss Jr., and Zachary Bliss. Music ministry was supplied by organist Marilyn Stewart with Lee and Laura Bliss leading the congregation in the hymn ‘The Old Rugged Cross’ and singing the duet ‘When Peace is Like A River.’ Interment was in St. Mark’s Anglican Cemetery at High Prairie. Donations may be made to the High Prairie and District Palliative Care as an expression of sympathy. Faithful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, responsible member of his community, he will be greatly missed. He loved us and we loved him.

Later in life, Mary decided on another career change and became a matron at the local RCMP detachment. Mary enjoyed her time in High Prairie. Mary and Steve could often be found at the local coffee shop having breakfast or lunch with friends. They were always ready for a good barbecue or family gathering.

She resumed her job as a matron at the local RCMP station in Airdrie. She continued the weekly breakfast ritual at the local coffee shop with family and friends. She enjoyed spending time with her granddaughter. She was adored by her young granddaughter, who nicknamed Mary “Grandma Choo Choo” because the train would go past her place.

Rene Brulotte
1943-2008
Rene Brulotte, the fourth child of Emilienne Fortier and Emile Brulotte, was born July 10, 1943, in Girouxville, Alta., and passed away in Girouxville Dec. 6, 2008, at the age of 65 years. Rene attended school in Girouxville, Guy and the Falher college. After school he started working for farmers from spring to fall and in lumber camps in winter. In 1964 he got a homestead and married Henriette Valiquette in 1971; they had a son, Dwayne. They then moved to Beaverlodge and Sexsmith where Rene worked for United Grain Growers. They moved back to Girouxville in 1974 where Rene worked for Falher Alfalfa. At this time a daughter, Lisa, was born. In 1980, Rene started working for Alberta Transportation, La Prairie Group for 27 years. For Rene, growing up on the farm was a daily adventure, often leading him into challenging, mischievous endeavors that warranted him dire consequences. And it’s not just a coincidence he was nicknamed the fire chief. He was a party clown with a good sense of humour and loved to tease anybody who crossed his path. It could be an elderly at the villa, a child, his sisters or his coffee shop buddies. He had a great love for the outdoors, where you could find him hunting, fishing, trapping, quadding or snowmobiling with his beloved children and grandchildren, whom he lived for and loved very much. You could also find him in the kitchen perfecting his cooking skills by adding his secret ingredients to his delicious moose meat pies or grilling moose steaks on an open fire at the lake. Throughout his life he remained a loyal, trusted friend, a loving father and grandfather, son and brother. He was a simple man, with simple pleasures and a big heart. We will miss this humble man. Rene is survived by: his son, Dwayne (Monique); his daughter, Lisa (Mike) Gordon; grandchildren Wade and Alexis Brulotte, Sarah and Amy Gordon; his mother, Emilienne; three brothers and two sisters. He was predeceased by: his granddaughter Caitlin; his father, Emile; and nephew, Hector. The funeral for Rene Brulotte was held Dec. 12, 2008 in Notre Dame de Lourdes Roman Catholic Church in Girouxville, with Father Charles Lavoie officiating. Cremation followed with interment at a later date.

Lucretia Evelyn Clark
1919-2010
Lucretia (Reta) Evelyn Clark passed away Feb. 8, 2010, six days shy of 91 years of age with her family by her side in the High Prairie Hospital.
Reta, the third child of Robert and Abigail Norman, was born Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 1919 in Redvers Sask. She lived a full and complete life, always steadfast in her faith in God and a ready friend to so many people.
Reta and William (Bill) Clark, were married in 1937. Their daughter, Margaret Ellen, was born in 1942, followed by Shirley Ann in 1946.
Reta was a self-taught seamstress, made coats, suits, kid’s clothes, wedding dresses and more, both for family, friends and herself. Reta was skilled at embroidering, crocheting and knitting. She did scrapbooking before scrapbooking was popular.
When Reta lived in the Little Smoky District she taught Sunday School for eight years in a log school house. Later, when they moved to High Prairie, Reta taught Sunday School for four years at St Mark’s Anglican Church.
There was always something to do for others in Reta’s life. As leader of the Anglican Girls Auxiliary for ages 13-18, or leader of the Anglican Girls Auxiliary for ages 6-12, there was plenty to do. As sewing secretary of the Anglican W.A. High Prairie, Reta was in charge of sewing and knitting for the annual Fall Bazaar, and also for sending knitted mitts and hand-made pajamas to Native Reserves.
Reta was Anglican W.A. president for four years. Naturally caring and selfless, when mothers would have to go into the hospital, or needed a holiday, Reta would take care of their babies for them.
Reta and Bill loved to sing and yodel. She also played acoustic and Hawaiian guitar and the fiddle. The house resounded to their music. She enjoyed taking part in the Hymn Sing at Pleasantview Lodge and J.B. Wood Nursing Home. She worked at the Boyt’s Department Store, where she spent 21 years before retiring. Always willing to help others, Reta took the training and then served two years helping on the Crisis Line.
Reta kept her unwavering faith in God, which she would draw strength from all the days of her life. Bishop Gary Wolsey licenced Reta as a Lay Administrant to help administer Holy Communion in this church of St. Mark’s in High Prairie. Reta attended St. Mark’s Anglican Church in High Prairie continuously for a period of 61 years, only ever missing when she was away visiting family and friends, or when she was not well.
With her infectious smile and her big heart Reta was well liked by so many people. She was a gracious and classy lady, who was loved dearly by her family. Reta will be sorely missed.
As she stands before the throne of God I am sure she will hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
The funeral was held at St. Mark’s Church in High Prairie Feb. 12, 2010, with Rev. Joan Schellenberger officiating.
Internment followed at St. Mark’s Cemetery in High Prairie.

Clayton Robert Fuller
1973 - 2004
CLAYTON ROBERT FULLER PASSES AWAY AT AGE 31
Clayton Robert Fuller, the first of three children, was born on April 6, 1973 in Barrhead, Alberta to Randy and Debbie Fuller and passed away May 2, 2004. Living in numerous places throughout Central and Northern Alberta as a young child, Clayton met many people. His school days began at Chipman Elementary, and then moved on to Thorhild Elementary, and lastly to High Prairie Elementary until his grade 9 year at Prairie River Jr. High school, when his family moved to Girouxville, Alberta. There, Clayton finished 9th grade at École Girouxville, the attended Georges P. Vanier in Donnelly and E.W. Pratt in High Prairie, Alberta from grades 10 to 12 for his high school years.
With his genuinely sincere personality he made plenty of friends, most of whom he still kept in touch with as an adult. This is just one of the many ways Clayton showed his devotion to people who knew him. Helping out friends and family was just part of who Clayton seemed to be. When Mom & Dad went into business for themselves in 1990, Clayton was right there to support them. Even though he was only 17 years old, he offered to invest his ideas, time and the little money he had into the business. Making it the successful little company it is today.
Marrying his high school sweetheart Jessica Cloutier on Aug. 12, 1995, Clayton was enthusiastic about starting a family in the quaint home they had fixed up together in Donnelly, Alberta. On July 19, 1996, Jessica and Clayton were blessed with a baby boy, Hayes Dale Robert. Devoting most of his spare time to Hayes was not difficult for Clayton; he truly loved the little boy he and Jessica created, and seeing Hayes model his dad in dress as well through action, it was clear that dad and son had a special bond.
Although Hayes was Clayton's primary passion, he had a lot of other extra curricular interests that he loved to perfect. Activities such as volleyball, soccer, hunting, fishing, bodybuilding, traveling and of course riding around in his white Chevy that he rebuilt himself were just some of the many things Clayton loved to do.
In May of 2002, Clayton, Jessica and Hayes moved to Whitecourt, Alberta to pursue other career opportunities and to be closer to the city. Clayton took an operator's position with Talisman Energy and then with Apache Canada until his untimely death in May of this year.
Clayton was predeceased by his grandfather, William Fuller (1996), Dale Perry (1994), and grandmother, Nellie Fuller (1983). He is survived by Hayes Fuller (son), Jessica Fuller (wife), Deb and Randy Fuller (parents), Shelley and Robert Lauzé (sister and brother-in-law), Curtis and Kim (Gervais) Fuller (brother and sister-in-law), Lauren Lauzé (niece), Justin and Dalyn Lauzé and Braden and Darian Fuller (nephews), Ardyth Perry (grandmother), Elda Glover (great-grandmother), and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
