It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Arthur Edward Adcock, who was born on June 3, 1952, and passed away on August 19, 2025, at the age of 73 years.

Arthur’s greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his children, Kassandra Foreman, Stephen Adcock, Damion Adcock (Khynee), and Heaven-Leigh Fenelon (Tyler). He was a proud grandfather to Jules, with another granddaughter expected to arrive in September. He will also be remembered by his former wife and lifelong friend, Tammy Brown. His niece, Kathleen Budzinski for the care she offered him, as well as his many other nieces, nephews, and extended family. He is lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his sisters, Edie Fredrickson, Sylvia Suecroft, Hazel Uphoff (Roland Uphoff), and Martha Adcock.

Arthur was predeceased by his father, Robert Adcock; mother, Esther Adcock; and brothers, John Adcock and George Adcock.

Arthur will be remembered for his one-of-a-kind personality. He carried a “no-nonsense, I don’t give a damn” attitude, yet was always the first to step up and help others. He went out of his way to put everyone else before himself, often giving without hesitation and expecting nothing in return. His strength, generosity, and humor left a lasting mark on all who knew him.

A service to celebrate Arthur’s life will be announced by the family at a later date.

In loving memory of
Walter Herbold
January 13, 1935 - August 9, 2025

Walter Herbold of Coronado, AB, passed away surrounded by family on August 9, 2025 at the age of 90 years. He was born on January 13, 1935 in Kassel, Germany, to Wilhemina (née Göbel) and Heinrich Herbold. He was the second youngest of six children. He
married Renate (née Scherze) on August 29, 1959, and the two immigrated to Canada the following year to begin their married life.

Walter was an avid painter and gardener, and was always ready to tell a story about the old country to anyone who would listen. We will always remember sitting around the fire listening to one of his stories while he threw his arms in the air and let out his catchphrase “And I had to laugh!”

Walter is survived by his wife Renate, his children Sandi (Les), Silvia, and Mike (Gloria), his close family friend Butch, and his grandchildren Micaila (Ryan) and Jolene (Craig).

The family of Walter would like to express their gratitude for the kindness and attentiveness of the homecare team that tended to him during his final days.
