Alberta Elizabeth Mason

Alberta Mason passed away suddenly and peacefully in her home on September 15, 2014 with her loving husband by her side. She was born March 21, 1944 in Lacombe, Alberta. She grew up and attended school in Rimbey, Alberta. She then moved to Edmonton and studied nursing, where she met her first husband Lloyd McGill. They married and moved to the farm near Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, where she resided until her passing. Nursing then took a backseat to being a wife and raising a family. After a tragic farm accident resulting in Lloyd’s death, she married the loving man who stood by her side through thick and thin, right to her last breath, Michael Mason. Together they raised their five children, two boys and three girls. Alberta loved the Lord with all her heart and never hesitated to share that love with all she came in contact with. She was very involved in helping with kids’ club and Sunday School at her church, right up until her final days. She was a prayer warrior and prayed for her kids, grandkids, family, and friends every day. She loved to garden and for years had a big garden that she shared with everyone. She enjoyed travelling around the country to visit family and friends. Mike and Alberta took great pride in being a part of celebrating each birthday and anniversary of each child and grandchild.

Alberta was predeceased by her first husband Lloyd McGill; father Reuben Bartman; sister Joyce Bartman; in-laws Orville and Hazel McGill, and Harry and Florence Mason.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 30 years, Michael Mason; son Neil (Brandi), daughter Marlene (Al), son Mervin (Sabrina), daughter Linda (Tim), daughter Dawn (Devin). Alberta loved her grandchildren: Jenessa (Cristopher), Dakota, Fawn, Eli, Ethan, Madison, and Mackenna. She also leaves behind her mother Gloria (Pete), brother Phil (Rosemary), sister Anne, brother Mike, sister-in-law Marion (Lloyd), brother-in-law Ken (Betty), and numerous other relatives and friends.

A Service of Remembrance to celebrate Alberta’s life was held on Saturday, September 27, 2014 from Emmanuel Pentecostal Fellowship with Pastor Pat Carty officiating. Interment took place at the Town of Cut Knife Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations in Alberta’s memory may be made to the Gideons International in Canada.
