Obituary
It is with much love and wonderful memories, the family of Roy Stewart Ulmer announce his peaceful passing in the arms of his wife, Diana, on August 26, 2022 at
the age of 83.
He was born on September 12, 1938 at the Royal Alexander hospital in Edmonton, AB. At the age of 6 months, he and his parents relocated from Stony Plain, AB to
the family farm in the Mellowdale community near Barrhead, AB. Roy met the love of his life in Lethbridge, AB. It was love at first sight and he often said he heard
bells ringing. Roy and Diana celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary June 12 of this year. Roy lived life to the fullest until his passing. His strong faith provided
courage and determination to face life’s challenges including many years of declining health.
He had a love of sports especially baseball, hockey, golf and curling. Roy’s outgoing and dynamic personality enabled him to excel in sales throughout his life. He
was a pillar of his community serving on both county and town councils as well many other volunteer positions. Time was irrelevant to Roy, as what mattered most
was taking an interest and engaging with everyone he met.
Roy will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Diana Ulmer. His four daughters, Gwen (Lorne) Vanderwoude, Melody Ulmer (Mark Myrehaug), Shauna (Martijn)
Zeldenrust, Sherri (Adam) Budgen. 9 grandchildren, Matthew (Shona) Myrehaug, Emily Myrehaug, Rebecca Myrehaug (Jared Froese), Joel Zeldenrust, Chesney

his infant daughter, Mary Ann Ulmer, foster son, Gordon Sheremeta, parents, Walter and Anna Ulmer, sister, Karan Gregoire, as well as many close family and
