Also left to cherish his memory are sister Madonna (Donnie) Schulte, sister-in-law Lulla (Tiny) Baumle and his extended family Martha Waldorf, Katherine Roth, Shirley Nelson, Gregory Baumle and Daryl Baumle. He was predeceased by his wife Tecla (Teggy), daughter Jackie, parents George and Cleophia, three brothers, six sisters and many other family members and friends. Bill was born March 16, 1925 at Kelsey. He met Teggy at a Firtle School dance and was married September 27, 1945 at Our Lady of the Prairies Church in Daysland. Bill and Teggy lived their early married years on a farm at Kelsey. Their first five children were born during these years. In 1956 Bill and Teggy moved to Edmonton. The twins were born in 1960. Bill worked at various positions in Edmonton and retired from the City of Edmonton Parks and Recreation in 1990. After their retirement Bill and Teggy spent several winters in Mesa where they enjoyed cards, dancing and visiting with friends old and new. Their final home together was Providence Place in Daysland. Bill continued to live at Providence Place after Teggy's passing in 2003, spent time at Daysland Hospital and then moved into Bethany Meadows in November 2016. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. Anyone he knew was always welcomed with friendship, love and support, or anything else they needed, no questions asked. No task was too large or too hard for him. Memories last forever, and cannot be destroyed by wind or rain. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, January 24, 2017 from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson as celebrant. Interment has taken place in the Camrose Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Providence Place Daysland, Bethany Meadows Oak Cottage, or to the Daysland Hospital Foundation.
