1939 - 2010
Manfred Klemme, formerly of Camrose, passed away July 2, 2010, after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Manfred arrived with his family in Camrose in early 1944, just before his fifth birthday. He went through school from Grades 1 through 12 with the CHS class of 1958.
He met his wife, Ora Lee, while attending the University of Alberta. They lived in Alberta until 1970, when they moved to Ontario and from there to California in 1980.
Manfred’s early interest in electronics and photography led to a career that included working at McBain’s Camera Shop in Edmonton and Braun Electric in Ottawa and Toronto. In California, he worked with various aspects of the film industry, finally focusing on sound in film for which he designed and manufactured a Microphone Boom Pole which won a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1998.
He was semi-retired in Oceanside, CA, enjoying boating and still dreaming up products for his company when he passed away.
He is survived by his wife, Ora Lee, of Oceanside CA; his sister, Carin (David) Thomas of St. Albert; three children in the states of Maine, New Mexico and California; a niece in Vancouver; and a nephew in Edmonton.
In loving memory of
Anne Petruk

If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother’s arms
and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
Your loving daughter,
Diane
In loving memory
of our Daughter
Jacquie Bellringer (Gunderson)
Three long lonely years have passed
Still miss you and love you.

Glenda Lee Beaver
On Saturday, July 17, 2010, Glenda Beaver went to be with her Lord Jesus at the age of 72 years, after a long courageous battle with cancer.
Glenda was born to Glen and Marie Ferneau, November 19, 1937. She was raised on a farm near Grinnell, Iowa. She attended a country school near her home for grades 1-8. She graduated from Grinnell High School in 1955 and four years later was awarded a Bachelors Degree in Applied Art from Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, and started her career as a professional artist.
July 16, 1960, Glenda married John Beaver who was a graduate student at Iowa State. In September 1961, they moved to Columbus, Ohio, where John taught at Capital University and where, in 1963 their daughter Wendy was born. They moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1964 for more graduate work. There, in 1967, their daughter Sonja was born. Sept. 1970, they moved to Camrose, Alberta where they lived for 40 years. In 1971 Mark was welcomed to the family when he was four months old.
In the years John taught at Camrose Lutheran College (Augustana), Glenda was involved with the community through art and church activities. Glenda established herself as one of Alberta’s foremost watercolor artists. She was juried into the Alberta Society of Artists and later became a signature member of the prestigious Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolor. Glenda enjoyed inspiring others through teaching art classes and workshops and giving art demonstrations.
She shared her talents with her faith communities. Glenda loved to sing. As a child she sang with her sisters. Later she sang in numerous choirs, and with her family. Glenda designed and helped make many banners for church use. Activities based on God’s word and prayer provided for Glenda an oasis of spiritual nourishment.
Glenda’s cancer first occurred in 1974. She then had 25 years cancer free. When her cancer reoccurred God sustained her 11 years. She faced each day with the courage and hope given to her by the Lord. She shared this hope with others, in conversation and by example until she left this world July 17, 2010 to be with Jesus.
She leaves those who will greatly miss her: husband John; children, Wendy (Randy), Sonja (Gene), Mark; six beloved grandchildren; many relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held on Monday, July 26, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. from the Messiah Lutheran Church with Rev. Larry Soveran and Colin Millang officiating. Interment took place in the Bethany Lutheran Church Cemetery, Donalda.
If friends so desire memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Word Mission Prayer League, CLBI, The Alberta Cancer Society or the charity of one’s choice.

The Magic of Mom
There is magic in a Mother’s touch
And sunshine in her smile,
The love she shared in all our lives
Has made it all worthwhile.
She shared her hope and courage
When we looked into her eyes,
Her laughter brought us endless joy
And her work was warm and wise.
The gentle touch of kindness
We felt in her embrace
We shall see the light from heaven
When it shines upon her face.

We do not need a special day,
To bring them to our minds.
The days we do not think of them,
Are very hard to find.
God knows how much we miss them,
Never shall their memory fade.
Loving thoughts shall never wander,
To the spot where they are laid.
God gave us strength to take it,
And courage to bear the blow.
But what it meant to lose them,
No one will ever know.
Love the Family
