Obituary For Sylvia Hotte
It is with deep sadness and much love that we mourn the passing of our family’s matriarch, Sylvia Hotte, on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at the Hythe Continuing Care Centre, at the age of 96 years.
Sylvia was born in Kingman, AB, on May 6, 1925. The family later moved to the Valhalla, AB, area. She went to school at Glass Lake. Following her schooling she worked at a café in Beaverlodge, AB, where she met the love of her life, Ed Hotte, and they married in 1943. They raised five children while both were working in Beaverlodge and operating a mixed farming operation.
Sylvia was a great community supporter; she and her husband were founding members of the South Peace Centennial Museum near Beaverlodge and were very active with the Lions Club. She was also active with the Beaverlodge Arts and Culture Centre, Thrift Store, Agriculture Society, and community functions to enhance the area.
Her home was always open to whoever dropped in for homemade meals or coffee and treats. Sylvia was well known for her cheerful personality. She really loved family gatherings and did not want to miss anything. She lived a very fulfilling life and is now at peace.
