Marge Gudmundson

Passed on: July 30th, 2014

Mom … we lost you on July 30th, 2014 – one day short of your 60th wedding anniversary. When you passed dad was at the florist ordering you a beautiful bouquet for his magnificent bride to be given the next day. You have always been our rock and our everything. You taught us how to enjoy life, respect others, and to always see our cup as half full. The laughs, tears, comfort and hugs over the years will never be forgotten. The Sunday dinners, all the ‘have to leave early’ to do another white hat ceremony to further endorse the great city we live in. Your vision built a 32’ tall, 9,000 kg ‘Mac The Moose’ to promote the city you lived in years ago – Moose Jaw - and started a “band hat” tourist promotion and remember you designing and creating each personalized hat in your basement. This led to the White Hats (Stetsons) in Calgary, and you doing over 18,000 presentations. Tourism and promoting your community while giving to others was always #1 with you from dignitaries (delivering Ralph Klein your famous homemade chocolate chip cookies regularly) to The Flames, The Stampeders, Calgary Police Service, the Harts, celebrities and politicians including Mikhail Gorbachev, world-wide. You had that special love that came across to all you met and radiated throughout the room. Your legacy will remain strong in those you have left to try and fill your shoes that took 79 years to build – your ever loving husband Jack, daughter Darla Palmer (Greg), 3 grand-daughters Carla Jones, Kristine Jones and Jamie Palmer, and son Jim (Terry), along with your beloved grand-dogs Bella, Nikita, Deezie, Lola, Gucci, Monty, Ava and Mister Jackson. Heaven has just received their most special angel and when those white pearly gates opened, I’m sure you were there with a white hat to do your final and ultimate presentation. As you always said… never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly. A Celebration of Marge’s Life will be held at the Southern Alberta Pioneer’s Memorial Building, 3625 – 4th Street SW, Calgary on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm. Donations may be made in Marge’s memory to Calgary SPCA, 4455 – 110 Avenue SE, Calgary, AB, T2C 2T7 or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, #204, 1608 – 17 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, T2T 0E3.
