Obituary
Mrs. Grace Mathison of Lethbridge, beloved wife of the late Mattie, passed away peacefully at Fairmont Extendicare on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at the age of 93 years.
Grace was born and raised in Calgary and moved to Lethbridge in 1964 with her husband and 2 daughters Jeannie Mathison and Jo Stribbell. She worked her whole life so she could spoil her daughters and their families so they could enjoy some of the things she never could. Her mother taught her to knit at a very young age and she carried this talent late into her life. She could knit ANYTHING. She wanted to make sure that before she got to the point where she couldn’t knit anymore, she made blankets for her great-grandchildren. One of her greatest joys was joining her friends for coffee at Tim Hortons. She was an avid junior hockey fan and enjoyed listening to the games well into her 80’s. Grace loved to shop and passed that down to both her girls and their children. She worked at the northside Safeway for 25 years and retired at 63 years old so she could help out with the grandchildren.
Grace is survived by her daughters Jeannie Mathison and Jo (Howard) Stribbell; grandchildren Kodee (Mitchel) Hahn, Raymond Kaupp; great-grandchildren Royce Kaupp, Ryan Kaupp.
Besides her loving husband Mattie, Grace was pre-deceased by her parents and sisters.
At Grace’s request, no service will be held, but; please think of her when you are enjoying a hot cup of Tim Hortons coffee and if you find a t-shirt you love, buy one in every color.
Cremation entrusted to Martin Brothers Funeral Chapels.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Grace Irene Mathison March 11 1929 October 6 2022 (age 93)..
