Leta Maria Guenthner
Leta Maria Guenthner
Leta Maria Kubinchak was born to John and Lydia Kubinchak on February 19, 1933 in Loyalist, AB. She was the youngest of four children with older siblings, Walter, Martha and Harry. On June 15, 2017, at the Provost Hospital, Leta passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.
As a young woman, Leta enjoyed dances and visiting. She worked as a waitress in Coronation and Consort before meeting a special young man. Leta married the love of her life, David Guenthner, on November 26, 1950. In a marriage that spanned 62 years they shared smiles, laughter, the odd argument and love. Together they raised their three boys, Gary, Kenneth and Ronald, at the family ranch near Sounding Lake. Leta was strong-willed and she embraced the challenges of raising three rambunctious boys out in the country. She honed her cooking skills, which David had shared were poor in the early years, and continued to turn out wonderful meals for her family into her 80s.
Throughout their years together, David and Leta enjoyed traveling, visiting with friends, playing cards and spending time with their grandchildren. Not one to sit still, Leta also took up many pastimes over the years. She kept busy with curling, sewing, gardening, woodworking, quilting, shopping and checking out garage sales! Even into retirement, Leta could be found helping out on the ranch. She was happy to tag along checking cows, make dinner for a tired crew, be a pilot car for moving machinery and cattle and she even enjoyed the odd high speed chase after a cow!
Young at heart, Leta also embraced technology. She took courses occasionally and enjoyed spending time playing games and looking up information on her tablet, computer or phone.
In 1957, Leta was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and she held to the faith until her passing.
Leta loved and treasured her family. Her zest for life and spicy attitude kept us all on our toes! The joy and laughter that she brought into our lives will be dearly missed.
Leta is survived by her son Gary’s children, Tina, Bobbie (Janus) Baker, Justin (Melissa) and Kelly; her sons Ken of Consort and his children Jeff (Daphne) Simkin, Tanya (Evan) Beaulieu, Laurie, and Scott (Becky) ; Ronald of Youngstown and his children Jessica (Aaron) Perry, Jodie and Robyn. Leta is also survived by ten great grandchildren; brother-in-law Larry of Consort; as well as a large extended family and many dear friends. Leta was predeceased by her husband David; son Gary; her parents John and Lydia; brothers Walter and Harry; sister Martha; and daughters-in law Dawn and Roxanne.
