Sharon and Shirley, We are so saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a lovely, creative and smart person. Cheryl Kolba and kids

Stephanie, it was such a pleasure knowing you. Anytime we spoke you had a smile on your face and such a wonderful sense of humor. My condolences to your entire family, as hearing about you passing was so sudden. You will forever be missed and cherished by everybody who knew you. Rest In eternal Peace

Bill and I valued and treasured our moments with Stephanie. She inspired me, her caring carried both Bill and I through some difficult events in the time that I was at Callingwood school. It was either Shirley or Sharon who came to our door one cold, winter day with a huge paper grocery bag with a prepared meal in it. That thought and gesture is one that I passed forward because that was the the sort of thought and gesture that Stephanie inspired in people. We thank you for that even after all thee years. We did stop and visit her a few years ago in Airdrie and realized how much she missed Fred but she was never negative about anything and even then she taught me a lesson on how to live on with missing a loved one and the life they had together. Please pass on our love and admiration for Stephanie to her grandchildren and great grandchildren who never met the people their grandmother inspired. Her reach was immeasurable. Many hugs to all of you. Anne and Bill Hill

Rest in peace Stephanie, you were a great lady!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Stephanie's passing. I worked with Stephanie at Westbrook Elementary in Edmonton. Years later we reconnected and were able to spend some time together sharing memories. I am grateful to have had Stephanie in my life. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing. My sincere condolences to the family. Liz Johnson

Sorry to hear of Stephanie's Passing. We Had enjoyed their company next door in Castlebrook Village for a few short years

Our love and Sympathy on the death of Stephany Perrin from friends for many years as well as colleges. May you all be comforted in your loss by knowing that others grieve with you. Alice and Alan Bell

Stephanie was an amazing lady. So full of class and grace. She will definitely be missed by all who knew her. Sharon (Bill) so sorry for your loss. She is now an angel looking down and protecting you

Stephanie was a true lady. She treated everyone with respect, and was always interested in learning from those she met. Stephanie was a Principal Mentor to me when I moved from classroom teaching into leadership positions, always with her full support and her belief that I could meet the needs of students, staff, parents, and community. When Stephanie moved to Airdrie I missed visits with her and driving her to DKG meetings- we had the best meeting time in the car going to and from each meeting! I also learned to value writing letters as we wrote to each other in between phone calls. My thoughts and prayers are with all Stephanie's family and friends

Stephanie was a beloved charter member of Gamma Chapter, DKG. She was always willing to do her part and hosted many lunches in her lovely homes, all so tastefully decorated. We were very sorry to see her move to Airdrie, but of course it was important for her to be near her family.

Mom, I miss you so much already and its only been a few days. I'm not sure how a will be able to cope not hearing your voice or see your lovely face. We had the best visits a mother and daughter could have! I know you are in a good place with siblings, family and friends who are waiting for you at the gates of Heaven. Please look down on us here on Earth and guide us through our days. Give me a sign once in awhile that you are alright. Hugs and kisses, Your Daughter, Sharon
