ARNTS, Trudy Arnts  -  On Thursday August 15th, 2024 we sadly lost a wonderful mother, grandmother (Oma), great grandmother (great Oma), sister, aunt and friend!

Trudy was pre-deceased by her husband Ted on May 31, 2024 after 64 years being married.

Trudy was born in the Netherlands December 12, 1938, the 7th of 11 children born to George and Gertruda Deriet. She was two months premature and weighed only two pounds.

Trudy (our mom) would tell us she fit inside a small shoebox. She is survived by three younger siblings, Nellie Vandenboom, Mary Irvine, and Charles Deriet.

In 1948, after World War II, the entire family moved to Canada. Trudy was only 9 years old at the time. Life wasn’t easy for the family. At first, they lived in western Canada before eventually settling in Whitby, Ontario.

It was in Whitby, Ontario where Trudy met Ted Arnts at a Dutch dance and soon after were married at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. They were married on October 29th, 1960. After almost 64 years of marriage, Ted went to
be with Jesus, his Lord and Saviour on May 31st 2024. We are sad to have lost them both this year, but we know they are reunited in heaven.

Loving wife of 64 years to Ted Arnts, Loving mother to Michael(Brenda)Arnts, Jodi(Steve)Payne, Lisa(Pete)Ford, Ted (Joanna) Arnts Loving grandmother to Brian, Chris(Ginessa), Samantha(Mike), Steven(Rachel), Brianna(Robert), Lindsay(Raihaan), Jake(Laura), and Kyran.

Loving great grandmother to Finley, Dylan, Audrey, Hailey, Logan, Hudson, Bennett and one more expected in September.

Trudy and Ted started Arnts Loam Supply in 1972 which has now expanded into Arnts the Landscape Supplier. While working in the business and at home, Trudy raised 4 children which she did with care and much prayer and was
always there for us. She was a mother who knew that children are a gift from God.

When we told her we loved her, she always said “Love you more” followed by “I am always praying for all my children and family.”
In the spirit of Trudy, please come dressed casual and bright and ready to have a good time!

There will be a celebration of life and burial Sept 7th 2024 times as listed below.

It is with heavy heart and teary eye that we announce the passing of Alphonse Pfoh, at Peace River Community Health Centre the morning of Saturday, July 20, 2024, at 89 years of age.

Alphonse was born in Dilke, Saskatchewan on 24th of April, 1935. His father moved the family to Waterhole where as the only and eldest son, began working the homestead.

Upon meeting Magdalena (Martha) Luken, Alphonse started down a new path and his position at St. Thomas More School as the school custodian in 1960.  He was well known throughout the school, community and church. While at STM, walking the halls Alphonse would regularly engage with students and staff, joking, playing and sometimes even chasing those that dared to tease him. Alphonse has since retired as custodian for both STM School and the church. He and his dearly departed, loving wife, Martha tirelessly volunteered at the STM church, within the community and the local food bank in retirement. Many in the community could attest to seeing Alphonse out in all kinds of weather clearing sidewalks in the winter or cutting the grass for the church or neighbors, all the time not seeking thanks or recognition.

As Alphonse slowed down over the past 2 years, he moved residence to the Fairview Harvest Lodge, where he became reacquainted with a number of his old primary school classmates. He spent his time at the Lodge focusing on the church and attending mass whenever his health would allow.

Alphonse is predeceased by his loving wife Martha; his parents, Mike & Eva Pfoh; siblings Margaret Bland and Clara Dewitt; and grandchild Travis Enns.

Alphonse is survived by his sister, Elizabeth (Henry) Luken of Fairview (AB); his children, Cindy Bellamy of Kelowna (BC), Connie Enns of Fairview (AB), Greg (Penny) Pfoh of Edmonton (AB), Hugh Pfoh (Marieka Vanderburg) of Calgary (AB), as well as five grandchildren, (Jasmine, Cody, Niki, Robyn, and Tyler), four great grandchildren and many god children, nieces and nephews.

As a father, grand-father, god-father, uncle, brother and friend Alphonse’s passing will leave a large void in many lives. He is already missed.
There will be a final viewing at Chapel of Memories, 10917-103 Ave, Thursday August 1, 2024 from 7:00PM-9:00PM where in honor of Alphonse a rosary will be recited.

Alphonse’s memory will be celebrated on Friday August 2, 2024 at 11:00AM from St. Thomas More Catholic Church, with graveside ceremony conducted at Friedenstal Catholic Cemetery immediately after the funeral service.

A reception will follow the graveside service at 1:00PM at the Dunvegan Inn, where water, juice, coffee and finger food will be served.

The family would like to thank Fr. Isidore Oneyka OMI and St. Thomas More Catholic Church.  Also, many thanks to all the staff and healthcare providers at the Fairview Harvest Lodge as well as the staff at Fairview Health Complex, and finally thanks to Chapel of Memories for providing the funeral services and support to the family.
