Trinity Funeral Home | Edmonton ABinformation regarding Jennifer Arlene Collins

Jennifer Arlene Collins (nee Coelho ) passed away on June 18, 2017 at the age of 71 after a months long battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  She joins her mother Irene, her father Joseph and various other relatives who pre-deceased her.  She is survived by her brother Joseph (Karen), her sister Elizabeth, her two children Christopher (Hilary) and Hazel (Mike), her grandson Ethan and many friends and relatives, including her ex-husband Ian (Olive).

Jenny started her life in Calcutta, India where she lived with her family until the age of 18 when they left for England to start lives there. She started working in England, in banks and various other administrative positions while in London. During this time, she got married and in 1971 welcomed her first child Christopher.  A couple of years later her new family moved to Edmonton from England, and in 1975 her second child Hazel was born. About 3 years later and opportunity came up for the family to move up to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  It was here in the North that Jenny spent a large chunk of her life. For 25+ years, Jenny spent her time raising her children, working at various jobs, including managing a Sears, running an exercise machine business, working in the Catholic School system, and being active in the Catholic Church.

For the last 17 years or so, Jenny had since moved back to Edmonton, where she continued to make friends,  be active in the community and Catholic Church. She joined the Traditional Latin Mass community where she continued to make friends and be active.  Up until her cancer diagnosis,  she also enjoyed working at the St. John of God bookstore, where she could do the things she loved doing – helping people and talking about her faith.

Trinity Funeral Home | Edmonton ABinformation regarding Edith Irene Stearns

We are deeply saddened to announce that Edith Irene Stearns (nee Simonsen) of Edmonton, AB, passed away on June 17, 2017, at the age of 88 years after a courageous 8-month battle with lung cancer.

Edith is survived by her four daughters: Claudia Bergot, Debra Unger, Valerie Casorso (Richard) and Tracey Elliott (Russell) all residing in the interior of BC. She is also survived by her partner Barry Stearns of Edmonton; 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

Edith was born May 8th, 1929 in Lady Minto Hospital, Edam, SK, to Karen Margrethe (nee Spleth-Olsen) and Kristian Edward Simonsen. Two weeks before Edith’s first birthday, her mother passed away and Edith often missed her terribly. She was raised in Hanley by Kristian and wife, Beulah Elizabeth Jane (Haight). She was joined by siblings Joyce, Carole, Viola, Larry and Chris as the years rolled along. Much of Edith’s childhood was spent performing in plays, singing and/or dancing at weddings, funerals, concerts, school plays or simply teaching herself to play organ/piano at home. Her love and enjoyment of music was always evident in the background of her life. She hoped to be a music teacher one day and at the age of 50, she successfully returned to university to acquire her B.Ed. and teacher’s Certificate. She single-handedly raised her 4 daughters through the 50’s and 60’s. She was an incredibly hard worker with high standards of excellence in all that she did. Edith will be deeply missed but we smile to know that she is “safe in her Mama’s arms at last”.

In accordance with Edith’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. She will be interred at the Edmonton Mausoleum on 107th Avenue and 118th Street, Edmonton, AB.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Edmonton Humane Society.

Trinity Funeral Home | Edmonton ABinformation regarding Sarah Linnea Prince

May 7, 1988 – June 24, 2017

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter, sister and tiny dancer on Saturday, June 24, 2017.

Sarah will be ridiculously missed by her loving parents Dave and Linnea, sister Rhiannon (Kris) and brother Chris. They are joined by Grandma Vicki Prince, Aunts and Uncles Chris (Giselle), Barb (Paul), Arlaine, Darwin (Betty), Ryan (Susan), Roxi (Carlos) and Sylvia. Sarah will be lovingly remembered by her huge extended family and the amazing circle of friends and co-workers she held close in her big heart.

Sarah grew up in Sherwood Park and was a proud graduate of the BARST program at the University of Alberta. She was building an amazing career in event management with Buksa, the International Triathlon Union, the Edmonton Oilers and most recently, the Alumni Association at the University of Alberta. It is a sad irony that our oh, so capable planner has to rely on us to organize her sendoff.

Sarah lived for activity and action, preferably outdoors. Her greatest joy was working with kids – coaching soccer with her sister, running day camps at Strathcona Wilderness Centre, camp counselling at Camp Horizon or shepherding the EnMax Energy Kids at Oilers home games. And many young NHL stars were tapped on the shoulder by Sarah to hang around after the game to receive their 3 Stars awards.

Music, dance, laughter and love defined Sarah. She shared it freely and passionately with all of us. She danced like no one was watching, sang like no one was listening and loved like she would never be hurt. Her laugh, her smile, her sense of mischievous playfulness was infectious. And she infected a lot of us. Costumes anyone?

We cannot make sense of this right now, maybe never. But we know that Sarah wants us to continue to aim high and keep dancing. To live proudly and with purpose and with love – ‘Armed with will and determination.. And grace too’.

A gathering for our Sarah will be held July 5, 2017 (6pm-9pm) at Blue Meadows (51123 Range Road 255, Spruce Grove, Alberta)

Donations in memory of Sarah can be made to:
