GALBRAITH,
Clarretta "
Tom"
Clarretta 101, died customary Harmony on Friday, 'Tom'
GALBRAITH,
quietly, and with her grace and dignity, at Homes in Red Deer
November 23. The youngest of three sisters, Clarretta was born
in Lion's Head, Ontario, on May 2, 1906, and raised in Regina
and Edmonton. She graduated from the Royal Alexandra Hospital
as a Registered Nurse in 1929, working first as a public health
nurse with the Travelling Clinic in Northern Alberta and later
at the Olds Agricultural College. She moved to the Red Deer Health
Unit in 1933 before winning a scholarship to the University of
Toronto where she received a Diploma in Public Health in 1935.
Returning to the Red Deer Health Unit, she married Philip
GALBRAITH,
the Publisher of the Red Deer Advocate, in 1936 and lived the
rest of her wonderfully full and happy life in Red Deer. She
and Philip were two peas in a pod, blessed with a wide circle
of Friends in Canada and overseas. They entertained with panache
and travelled widely to Europe, the U.S., Asia and the Middle
East. On her travels she wrote a column for the Advocate, as
did her husband, who was amused that she got more fan mail than
he did. She continued to travel after his death in 1970. Known
for her charm, taste and warmth, she was a devoted wife, mother
and grandmother, a gracious hostess and a keen observer with
a great sense of humour. For six decades she welcomed a constant
stream of visitors and family to her home. She is survived by
her daughter Mary
LAUGHREN
(Grant) of Calgary and son Michael
GALBRAITH
(María
INÉS) of Singapore; and grandchildren Jessica
LAUGHREN
(François
TREMBLAY) of Sugarland, Texas, Olivia
LAUGHREN
of Edmonton, Veronica
GALBRAITH of Hong Kong, and Andrew
GALBRAITH
of Shanghai. A private funeral service will be held on Wednesday,
November 28, at the Eventide Funeral Chapel in Red Deer. In lieu
of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.
