August 11, 1933 - January 17, 2012

Our dad and grandfather, Carl Oscar Lingren, age 78, passed away peacefully on January 17th, 2012 with his family by his side.

Carl is survived by his loving children Harley (Phae) Lingren of Wetaskwin, AB, Norma (Calvin) Halladay of Thorsby, AB, Bonnie Benson of Spruce Grove, AB, Rod (Diane) Lingren of Monte Lake, BC, Terri (Andrew) Hansen of Kamloops, BC, Darla Lingren of Burnaby, BC, and Karla Lingren of Comox, BC; his special grandchildren Cortney, Lacey, Aleysa, Sheldon, Hailey, Saul, Elijah, Taelar, Rebekah, Hannah, and Malloree; his siblings William (Betty) Lingren, Bert (Hilda) Lingren, and Charlie (Norma) Lingren; great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Elene Lingren and his sisters Rose Lingren and Jessie Bunting.

Carl was born the 3rd of 6 children who inherited the legacy of being one of the first families to settle in the Pinantan area. He grew up in the farming and logging industry. His lifetime career was working alongside his brother Willie in W. Lingren Logging.

He valued the bonds he had with his numerous friends. Another of his favorite pastimes was supporting his children and grandchildren in their various activities.
