BRANDT,
Robert "
Bob"
Wardell
Dearest Bob, We have been so lucky to know you - a great gentleman
who cared for others in so many ways. You were a straight for
ward genuine good guy, having a positive impact on many lives
with an unassuming graciousness, an indomitable spirit but with
a bit of mischief now and again. Great respect was earned by
you with your intelligence, integrity, common sense and fairness
to all. With your quick wit and famous Bob Brandt humour (just
ask the staff) you could brighten up a discussion. You loved
problem solving from puzzles to broken equipment and management
issues. The challenges captivated you. Classmates from Ontario
Veterinarian College '70, Guelph named you their Class President
and we have been fortunate to rendezvous every 5th year to renew
those Friendships with gusto. You enjoyed opening new clinics
in St. Vital and The Pas, working on Veterinary Boards and church
organizations, the camaraderie with the curling team, the eventful
and sometimes fateful fishing trips, bonding while hunting at
the farm when you had your licence, the sometimes hospital bound
but fun ski trips plus exploring and observing nature while hiking
and biking far and near and special summers with family and Friends
at the lake. Travel was a big part of our life, especially in
your semi-retirement as we set out to explore and to meet new
and old Friends. Your family was very special to you. You were
born to Doctor Marvin and Martha
BRANDT (both deceased) in The Pas
then moved to Dauphin, Manitoba; studied at the University of
Manitoba then Ontario Veterinary College before settling in Winnipeg
to work at St. Vital Clinic and then Birchwood Animal Hospital.
You had great visions and Birchwood grows again. We will sure
miss you with all of that warmth and charm. Wife - Barb; daughter

MacDONALD,
Carolyn
Ann (née
DOBSON)
It is with great sadness that the family of Carolyn Ann
MacDONALD
(née DOBSON) announce her passing. Carolyn was beautiful, intelligent
and talented, an athlete, student, wife, mother, grandmother
and friend. She loved to welcome people into the family home
and was renowned for her warm hospitality and exquisite food.
She and her husband Michael travelled widely, eagerly experiencing
new countries and cultures. Whether cycling in France, sailing
in Turkey or camel rides in Jordan her enthusiasm and beautiful
smile inspired all those she encountered along the way. An interest
in learning continued throughout Carolyn's life; she was an avid
Francophile who undertook the study of the French language both
in Quebec and France and with equal interest embraced the literary
and culinary cultures. She went on to be Vice-President of the
Alliance Français Edmonton. Carolyn was born in Bournemouth,
England on April 22, 1933 to an English merchant seaman father
and Nova Scotian mother (Gertrude
DOBSON née
WEEKS.)
Her father,
Lt.
Commander
Andrew Hedley
DOBSON, officer commanding HMCS St.
Croix, was killed in action in the Battle of the Atlantic in
1943. The terrible loss of the St. Croix with all hands but one
was, at that time, Canada's largest naval disaster and is memorialized
in the 1997 book Deadly Seas. Carolyn grew up in Halifax, Nova
Scotia and attended Queen Elizabeth High School (1949-1951).
After high school she went to the University of Toronto on a
full scholarship studying Physical and Occupational Therapy and
graduated top of her class. At University of Toronto she played
Varsity Women's Basketball winning an Ontario Intercollegiate
Championship. She returned to Halifax and in 1957 she married
her high school beau Michael. They have four daughters, the first
three born in Halifax and the youngest in Edmonton where they
have made their home for the last 42 years. Even after moving
West, Carolyn always retained her links to and love of Nova Scotia.
Carolyn is survived by her loving husband and first grade classmate
Michael, daughters Nancy, Sarah (Martin
GOUIN), Eve (Keith
TRACEY),
Barb (Ian COLLOMBIN,) and grandchildren Justin
GOUIN,
Andrew
JAYCOCK, Anna
GOUIN, Lauren
GOUIN, Isabelle
GOUIN, Luke
COLLOMBIN,
Taylor COLLOMBIN,
Eve
COLLOMBIN, and her brother Doctor Tom
DOBSON,
as well as a large and extended family of brothers and sistersin-law,
nieces and nephews (plus loyal companion, golden retriever Ryder).
Her parents, sister-in-law Jean
DOBSON, and brother-in-law Kirk
MacDONALD predecease her. Carolyn bravely battled illness these
last 15 months with the dignity and generosity of spirit that
those who loved her knew well. The family would like to thank
the doctors, nurses and staff at the University of Alberta Hospital
(4G3), the Glenrose Hospital and the General Hospital (9Y) for
their care and compassion. A celebration of Carolyn's life will
be held at All Saint's Cathedral, 10035-103 Street, Edmonton, Friday
May 23rd at 12.00 p.m. Memories of Carolyn can be sent to www.connellymckinley.com
In lieu of flowers donations to University of Alberta Hospital
Foundation - Neurology would be appreciated. Connelly-McKinley

JAMES,
Gayle
Marlene (née
GILCHRIST)
(April 15, 1940-May 30, 2008)
Gayle
Marlene
Gilchrist
JAMES passed away on Friday, May 30,
2008 at the age of 68 years with close family members by her
side. Gayle met lymphoma and death as she lived her life; carefully
researched, discussed at length and then accepted the outcome
with a calm dignity and a touch of black humour. Born April 15,
1940 in rural Alberta, she attended a one room school taught
by her father, high school in Castor and on to the University
of Alberta (B.A. English 1962) and University of Toronto (B.S.W.
1963, M.S.W. 1966). Gayle was predeceased by her parents, Lela
(GREENWALT) and Don
GILCHRIST, her brother, Don, her sister,
Norma, and her beloved canine, Lady. She will be missed by her
brother, Garry (Elly) Victoria, British Columbia; her nieces
and nephews, Debby
DOBSON (Ed
HALL), Becky
DOBSON, Melanie
DOBSON
(Graeme ROCKER) all of Nova Scotia, Kim
DOBSON
(Ramona
KRAEMER)
of Ontario; Laura, Jacqueline and Nicole
GILCHRIST of Victoria
she will also be missed by her grand-nieces, nephews and god
children, Karen, Esther, Alex, Chris, Sarah, Emily, Adam, Patrick,
Zac, Linda, Ben, Erin and Sean; as well as her great-grandnephew,
Nahze; honorary aunt, Jean
PEETERS of Victoria, British Columbia
as well as by Doctor K.W.
JAMES.
She started her social work career
with the Alberta Child Guidance Clinic before joining the Education
Clinic, Edmonton Public School Board in 1967 and then the University
of Calgary, the Faculty of Social Work in Edmonton in 1975 before
moving to Calgary in 1994 and retiring as Associate Professor
Emeritus in 2004. While working with students with learning disabilities
and their families, she developed a consummate passion for public
issues that led to a life-long involvement in social advocacy
and public policy. Her dedication to social work and inspirational
leadership was legendary, holding many professional association
positions, first as Registrar (1974-1977), President (1979-1981)
and Treasurer (1996-98) of the Alberta Association of Social
Workers and President of the Canadian Association of Social Workers
(1981-83). Gayle's international leadership began in 1978 and
was capped by being elected Canada's first President of the International
Federation of Social Workers (1988-1992). She was instrumental
in Canada hosting the first world social work conference in 1984 and
the establishment of the International Federation of Social Workers
Human Rights Commission in 1988 to advocate for missing, wrongfully
detained and tortured social workers and students. Appointed
by the Prime Minister to Chair the National Council of Welfare
(1986-1989), she was the senior non-governmental organization
delegate on the Minister of Health and Welfare's social policy
mission to the Republic of China and the only woman and only
non-governmental organization member of Canada's delegation to
the United Nations Welfare Ministers Inter-Regional Consultation
on Developmental Social Welfare in 1987. She was a founding member
of the Edmonton Association for Children with Learning Disabilities,
Canadian Research Institute for Law and Family, Canadian Social
Work Foundation, Weiler Award Trust; long time board member of
the Canadian Council of Social Development and International
Council of Social Welfare, Canada; and member of Kings College
Circle, University of Toronto. Her many honours included an Alberta
Achievement Award (Excellence Category), Exemplary Contribution
Award (Alberta Association of Social Workers), 75th Anniversary
Award (University of Toronto, Faculty of Social Work), Outstanding
National Service Award (Canadian Association of Social Workers),
Teaching Excellence Award (University of Calgary), Arbor Award
for Outstanding Volunteer Service (University of Toronto), inaugural
Andrew Mouravieff-Apostol Medal (International Federation of
Social Workers) and Lifetime Achievement Award (Pulse of Social
Work, Calgary). Gayle was an inspiration and beloved mentor to
countless students, colleagues, Friends and family. She was uncompromising
in her support of students and an incisive media commentator
on social policy issues. Unphased by her illness in her final
years, she devoted untold hours of volunteer expert witness testimony
to help victims of eugenic sterilizations win a landmark class
action settlement. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, those touched
by Gayle may forget her exact words or the specifics of what
she did, but they will never forget how special she made them
feel. A special thank you to Doctor T. Thaell, Doctor E. Liu, and to
the staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for the excellent care
they provided to Gayle over the last seven years. A Memorial
Celebration of Gayle's Life will be held at the Rozsa Centre,
University of Calgary, on Monday, July 14, 2008 at 2: 00 p.m.
A reception will follow. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
