Cody, Elmer John Sunday, 31 Aug 2008
Quesnel, BC
Elmer Cody of Alexandria, B.C. passed away peacefully at his home on August 31, 2008. His daughters and two of his sons were with him at the time. Elmer was diagnosed with lung cancer in early July of this year.
Services for Elmer were held at St. Ann’s Catholic Church with Father Dale Normandeau officiating.
Six of Elmer’s grandchildren were pallbearers; Keith Prestone, Rick Lyall, Dawn Cody, Shalene Logan, Corinne Cody and Jake Cody.
Elmer was interred in the Quesnel Municipal Cemetery right next to his wife, Irma, who had pre-deceased him in March, 2000.
Elmer was born in the family home on September 27, 1918 near Pilger, Saskatchewan. He was the oldest of seven children.
Elmer married in 1941 and he and his wife moved to Manitoba where they farmed for five years before moving into the little town of Ste. Rose du Lac. In 1951 Elmer moved his family to B.C. where he worked in the sawmill business with his brothers-in-law.
In 1952 the family moved to the Alexandria area where he has lived ever since.
After retiring from his job as a foreman with Weirs Sawmill Elmer devoted his time to his wife, family and his farm. He dearly loved to garden and his garden was his pride and joy.
On the long weekend in August Elmer’s family gathered at the Cody Homestead in Alexandria to celebrate his 90th year. Although he was in failing health a smile rarely left his face the whole weekend.
Elmer is survived by his two sisters; Dorothy (Frank) Graf, Sister Ethel, and two brothers; Jerome and Pat, his children; Roxienne (Joel) Prestone, Charlene (Dennis) Lyall, Terry (Penny), Bryan (Beatrice), Rick (Maureen) and Reg.
Also left to mourn Elmer’s passing are his and Irma’s 20 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
He was pre-deceased by his wife, Irma, a daughter, Patricia, a son, Rod, and two brothers, Harold and Robert.
Elmer will long be remembered for his loyalty to family, friends and his church, for his humour, his honesty and diligent work ethic.
We, his children, would like to thank all our family and friends who were with us at this sad time.

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,

You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.
