Mabel Agnes Marie Torgerson Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mabel Agnes Marie Torgerson, a longtime resident of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, on Tuesday, January 7, 2023, at the age of 84 years.
Mabel was born in Poplar Hill, Alberta on May 28, 1940, to Edwin and Ingrid Westad. They were a loving and hard-working family that had homesteaded near Valhalla, Alberta, Mabel spent her youth attending school, helping raise her siblings, and working on the family farm.
Mabel married her lifelong partner, Kenneth Torgerson, when she was 16 years old on August 29, 1956. As a young adult, she and her husband, Kenneth, moved to Dawson Creek, BC where they raised their family. Once the children were all of school age, she chose to pursue a career as a paralegal, specializing in facilitating real-estate transactions at the law firm Mitchell, Schuller & Dellow. Her career focus later turned to working for Elections B.C. and collaborating with her husband in the design and construction of 8 houses in the Dawson Creek area.
As a spirit-led Christian, Mabel spent several years as an active congregant of Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle, where she was the lifelong lead pianist each Sunday. Through her tireless efforts, Mabel was truly inspirational as she successfully managed to balance church, family and career.
