JENNINGS, Owen Henry

Dad (Owen) entered eternal rest at the age of 91. He was predeceased by his wife Jean in 2011; they were married for 58 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his four daughters Laura (Dwayne) Bennett of Red Deer, Joy (Wes) Shackleton of Clive, Donna (Guy) Schmidt of Thorsby, and Sandy (Kerry) Andrew of Mirror, nine grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, sister May (Guy) Menage of Alix, sister-in-laws Lois Hansen of Red Deer and Betty Priegnitz of Mirror, and numerous nieces and nephews. A special thank you to the staff at Bashaw Meadows and the Continuing Care Unit at the Lacombe Hospital.

Owen worked and managed W.E. Jennings Ltd. Until it closed in 1987. He lived in Alix all his life and was a very proud and active volunteer with the Alix Fire Department, Chamber of Commerce, Alix Library, Alix United Church and held a seat on town council. He loved gardening, his yard, camping and in his younger years he golfed, played hockey and curled. He also drove a school bus for 35 years.

A kind and loving father, who will be forever in our hearts.
