Pat Strelieff

Mom, left us peacefully at the age of 86, she was born to John & Annie Planedin at her grandparent’s farm in Shouldice, Alberta, & grew up in Calgary in a close-knit family with her two brothers Eli(Cindi) Planedin & Mike(Ann) Planedin & two sisters Helen Miller & Ann(Alex) Saukarookoff .

Mom’s large brown eyes, beauty & grace captured the heart of dad Mike Strelieff, they married November 27th 1959, celebrating 60 loving years until Dad’s passing in 2020.

Together, Pat & Mike raised 3 children Perry, Tim(Lydia) & Tammy(Roger) Junker at their family home/farm in Shoreacres. They gave us life, kept us happy, healthy & rich with love. The farm in Shoreacres was a destination for generations of family, making lasting meaningful memories for all that visited.

Grandkids & great-grandkids were a great joy for mom, she formed special relationships with each of them & that bond will forever be cherished by Greg, Ashley, Ian & Jake & great-grandkids Beau, Riley, Cameron, Molly & Elias.

Mom had a great sense of style & was always fashionably put together. The backyard that mom nurtured was her sanctuary & it gave her & everyone that visited much tranquillity & peace with an abundance of beautiful flowers, planters & gardens.

While health permitted mom stayed physically active with skating, bowling, skiing, walking, aerobics classes, & travel to Arizona, Hawaii, Mexico & Vancouver Island.  When mom’s health limited her mobility she enjoyed her TV time especially her favorite program “The Masked Singer” she learnt to use her iPhone to play Wordscape & stayed connected to family through Face-time, texts & chats.

Rest in Peace, Dear Mom, Baba, Sister, Auntie & Friend.

            Your love, connection, & joy will forever light our way
