DUGAS, Daniel
1965 - 2014
Mr. Daniel 'Dan' R. Dugas of Penhold, Alberta, passed away suddenly at his home on Sunday, July 13, 2014 at the age of 48 years. Dan was born on December 10, 1965 at Mattawa, Ontario to parents, Agno and Doreen Dugas. The family lived in North Bay, Ontario for most of his youth. Dan's career began with Mac's Convenience Stores in Ontario between 1984 and 2004 and then he worked for Rentcash Inc. during 2006 until 2008. At that time, Dan relocated to Alberta where he worked for Parkland Fuel Corporation as their Retail Regional Operations Manager, Western Alberta. Dan was a man of strong ethics; with a dedication and commitment to his work, as well as every other area of his life. He lived life with an intensity to excel; and a passion and zest for living. Dan was also the Head Coach of the Parkland Panthers Women's Indoor Soccer Team. His enthusiasm and drive carried the team from last place to first place, winning the Championship Title during the 2013 - 2014 winter season. The 2014 summer season looks like another 1st place has been clinched. Dan was a devoted and loving father to his three children. He taught his children well, with that same strength of character and value for life; encouraging them to be the best they could be at all they do.
"Dan's legacy of Love will remain through the lives and hearts of his children, family and all those whose lives he has touched."
Dan leaves to mourn his loss, his loving children, Stefan of Penhold, Alberta, Amanda (Patrick Kavanagh) of Red Deer and Jessyca, also of Penhold. He will also be sadly missed by the mother of his children, Robin Dugas (Yarrow) of Stouffville, Ontario, as well as numerous other relatives and many dear colleagues and friends.

REBNE, Jessie
January 12, 1927 - February 4, 2015
Born in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Jessie enjoyed a "small town" childhood and youth, walking to school, volleyball, baseball, and friendship with five girls known as the JENIDS - an acronym of their first names - who would remain life-long friends. Jessie Rebne peacefully passed away at the Lacombe Lodge. She trained as a registered nurse at the Calgary General Hospital, class of 1949. She worked at Brooks Hospital where she thrived on the small town nurse experience. She met Eilert Rebne through friends and they married in 1951 and moved to his farm. At that time, nurses were required to live in town, so she gave up nursing after two years, but forever identified as a nurse. This city girl adapted to farm life and country dances with her musician husband, Eilert. Two children, Douglas and Donna, were born in Brooks. When Jessie developed allergies, the family moved, settling in Lacombe in 1959, where she and Eilert operated Tall Pine TV Sales and Service for 29 years. With no background in bookkeeping, Jessie took on that role at Tall Pine and enjoyed the customers and employees. Jessie enjoyed life in Lacombe. The family attended St. Andrew's United Church where Jessie volunteered with the United Church Women's group. She volunteered with the Lacombe Hospital Auxiliary, the Nursing Home Auxiliary, and at the Lacombe Lodge for bingo and card games. She and Eilert enjoyed an active social life with friends through the Lacombe Flying Club, the Kozy Korner Seniors Centre, and a multitude of musical jams. As a first-generation Canadian, she held pride in her Scottish roots and shared this with her family. Good with her hands, she was a knitter, gardener and canner, and baked for fundraising events. Jessie was an avid card player and she thrived on these social occasions both at their home and at the Lacombe Lodge. Social and caring, Jessie loved her husband, children and grandchildren, was a great friend and neighbor, and stayed in touch with friends and family near and far. Jessie was predeceased by her husband Eilert, in December 2014, and sister Alison Moore. She is survived by her sister Nancy Vivian of Langley, B.C., son Douglas (Nguyet) of Brussels, Belgium, granddaughter Chandra of Dublin, Ireland, grandson Sydney of Indiana, and her daughter Donna Polutnik (Rick) and grandsons Ross of Vancouver and David of Red Deer. A service of remembrance will be held at St. Andrew's United Church in Lacombe, AB on Tuesday, February 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Wilson's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium in charge of arrangements. If desired, donations in Jessie's memory may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Alberta, #202, 5913 - 50 Ave, Red Deer AB T4N 4C4. Condolences can be sent to the family at JessieRebne1927@gmail.com.
