Robert McCallum Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Robert William McCallum announce his passing on Tuesday April 1, 2025, at the age of 87. Robert passed away peacefully at the William. J Cadzow long-term care facility in Lac La Biche, after suffering a stroke. Born January 6, 1938, in Conklin Alberta. Robert will be lovingly remembered by his spouse of 32 years, Edna Spence; children: Robert Jr. McCallum; sisters: Lillian McCallum, Lena McCallum, Yvonne McCallum; grandchildren: Lyle Robert Shepard, Lindsay Marie Shepard, Larissa Ann Shepard, Leanne Shepard, Elizabeth Velma McCallum and Shelby Lynne Spence; numerous step-children, cousins, nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
Robert was predeceased by his parents: Theophile and Marie Anne McCallum; brother: Roy McCallum, Ariel McCallum; sisters: Margaret McCallum; baby daughter Marie and first wife Lena Hamelin.
Robert came from a Metis family and spent most of his life growing up outdoors and was a trapper, hunter, wildland firefighter, worked the Winefred Lake fish plant, and the railway. Robert and Edna operated La Biche Taxi for over 13 years and enjoyed socializing, driving clients, and sharing stories of long ago with family and friends. Robert’s knowledge of the land, trapping, hunting, traditional cultural teachings, and storytelling will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at the long-term care facility in Lac La Biche, for their care and compassion.
