Erling Grovet Obituary
It is with deep sadness that the family of Erling Reidar Grovet announce that he passed to his rest May 31, 2024, at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre with his family at his side.
Erling was born in Galahad, Alberta to Ole and Hanna Grovet on July 24, 1939. He was the youngest of 12 siblings. His childhood years were spent at the family farm, where his father and older brothers helped him develop a love for the land. Throughout his early adult years Erling found he had a knack for operating heavy equipment and enjoyed work in ranching and farming. From the late 1960s to late 1980s, he worked at Canadian Union College (now Burman University), eventually becoming the farm manager of its dairy and farm operations.
In what he called his “second stage of life”, Erling returned to school and completed an apprenticeship to become a Journeyman Appliance Technician, eventually starting Master Care Appliance Service in Lacombe. He greatly enjoyed meeting people during the 16 years that he worked in the community.
He was predeceased by his parents and eleven siblings. He is survived by Brenda Grovet, his wife of 44 years, and his four children: Sandy Grovet, Delwin (Corrine) Grovet, Murray (Michelle) Grovet, and Harvey (Danita) Grovet. He also leaves behind 11 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.
A celebration of life will be held in Lacombe at the College Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church on Monday, June 24th , 2024, at 2:00 p.m.
In honor of Erling’s memory, and in lieu of flowers, the family gratefully welcomes donations to A Better World Canada or ADRA, causes he deeply cared about.
