PLEASE NOTE SERVICE CHANGE.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Paulette Pedersen on February 18, 2021 at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. She was 74 years of age.
Being born and raised in the Crowsnest Pass, AB, Paulette was well known in the community. She was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 7 in Blairmore, where she spent many hours socializing with friends. She also thoroughly enjoyed playing cards and dancing at the Hillcrest Miners Club where she also worked for over 30 years.
Paulette had many interests and hobbies such as playing cards, listening to music, shopping and collecting a variety of items. She also liked watching hockey – especially the Calgary Flames. Paulette enjoyed swimming, playing with her dogs, and camping. Paulette will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.
