It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Howard. He is survived by his wife of 72 years Helen, and his 4 children Ken (Joanne) Laureen

Tim (Debra) and Tom (Cori) with several grand and great grandchildren.
Howard grew up in the farming community of Aylesbury, Saskatchewan. In 1963 he moved his family from town to their farm, having built a home and developed a farmyard.

He took a great interest in sport, partaking in hockey at Melville with the Millionaires, Kelowna with the Packers and MooseJaw with the Playmors. While on the farm he drove most evenings for either practice or games in MooseJaw. He enjoyed playing baseball and was the towns ‘draw’ master at the curling club for some years.

Once he quit farming in Aylesbury, he and Helen spent time in Kelowna before moving to Calgary then Cochrane. Howard spent the last 6 years of his life at the Bethany Care Center in Cochrane.

Helen and Howie spent 32 wonderful winters in Arizona enjoying golfing and hiking- his greatest special achievement was hiking the Grand Canyon

A simple family gathering will occur soon with Howard’s ashes to be interred in Aylesbury cemetery.

January 6, 1928 – May 17, 2025

Mom was the third child and second daughter born to Andrew and Eleanor Storey on January 6, 1928. She was the only child of the five not born on the farm east of Girvin. Mom never asked her mother why, but there were obviously medical issues at birth. She attended Girvin School through to graduation in 1945. The farm was less than two miles east of Girvin, so she and her 4 other siblings usually walked to school. In the winter, her Dad used horse and sleigh. Mom attended Normal School in Moose Jaw in late 1945 and in January 1946 was assigned to teach at a one-room school house near Kisbey, Sask. My Mom and Dad started dating in early 1942 and then Dad joined the Royal Canadian Navy in January 1943. They wrote each other often and Mom waited for Dad`s return in late 1945. They were married in December of 1946. Mom kept sub-teaching at the local rural schools and working in retail stores in Davidson. On St. Patrick`s Day 1958, Lorna came along and on Valentine`s Day 1962, I suppose I (Clark) came along… I don`t recall! Dad and Mom lived in Davidson and grain farmed 6 miles east of Girvin. I recall only the happiest of memories growing up amongst the Davidson and Girvin communities. When Lorna and I were well into our teens, Mom, always very strong and independent, became the first lady to drive a 60 passenger school bus in this area. She then joined Davidson Town Council in the mid 1970`s followed by serving as the first lady Mayor of Davidson from 1980-1988. She believed in progress for Davidson and achieved many improvements. She was a devoted, loving and truly a great Mom and later grandmother and great grandmother. Her cooking was the best in western Canada! She kept a spotless home while also being a great member of many community boards and charities. She was our everything… a tower of strength… a shining light of the greatest generation. God bless you Mom….
