It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elsie Scow at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB on July 21, 2022. She was 87 years of age.
Elsie was a vibrant woman who liked to keep busy. She enjoyed crafting, crocheting, knitting and cro-hooking, as well as playing bingo – which was also an opportunity for her to socialize. She had a true love of music and was well-known for her talent playing guitar and singing. Over the years, she spent many happy times at the Hillcrest Miners’ Club where she developed life-long friendships. Elsie was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, and she will be missed by all who knew her.
Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life are her daughters, Ellen Sinclair of Calgary, AB, Hilda Baril of Airdrie, AB, Cindy (Chris) White of Bellevue, AB and Debbie Scow of Campbell River, BC; her grandchildren, Vivian (Frank Dourte), Daryl, Katrina (Justin Daprat), Andy, Terry, Mike, Jenn, Evan, Anita, Michelle, Curtis, Sara, Adele, Sabrina, George, Christine and Cory; twenty-three great-grandchildren; eleven great-great-grandchildren; three great-great-great-grandchildren; her sister, Erma Fisher of Blairmore, AB; her brother, Stan (Mary) Wall of Blairmore, AB; as well as her extended family and many friends.
She was predeceased by her first husband, Vern Sinclair; her second husband, William Scow; her son, Dale Sinclair; and her daughter, Penny Sinclair.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
