Obituary of Grant Lohner

Grant was born in Daysland on February 26, 1941 to Lawrence and Christine Lohner. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 21, 2014 at the age of 72 years after his brief battle with lung cancer. Grant attended school at Montrose and Rosalind until he started farming as the third generation on the Lohner farmstead. He has fond memories of growing up on the farm and spending time with friends and cousins. Grant met Shirley at a dance in Camrose and they were married a year later in October 1968. They lived on the farm until moving to Camrose in 1990, where Grant worked as a crop adjuster for a number of years before semi-retiring. Over 45 years of marriage and they were as much in love as when they wed. They enjoyed sunny holidays, camping and fishing, card games and visiting with friends, and being with family. Grant adored his 'three little Lohner girls'. There was nothing he wouldn't do for them or with them. And this love and commitment extended to his sons-in-law and grandchildren, too. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Shirley; daughters Sherry (Cary) Tarasoff of Saskatoon, Tammy (Mark) Langille of Rosalind, and Kim (Trevor) Reinhart of Sylvan Lake; six grandchildren; two sisters Blanche Lohner of Sherwood Park, and Kathy (John) Robinson of St. John's, Newfoundland; and numerous nieces and nephews. A Funeral Service was held 2:00 p.m., Friday, January 24, 2014 from Camrose United Church with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. Inurnment has taken place in the Camrose Cemetery.
