UWIERA, Raymond

UWIERA, Raymond

Ray passed away peacefully the morning of Sunday, January 9, 2011. Ray was born in Edmonton on November 20, 1956. He spent his working years as a mechanic and truck driver until his career was cut short early in life by illness. Ray’s life mission was accepting everyone he met unconditionally and didn’t meet anyone he couldn’t have fun with. His warm and compassionate heart of gold will be sorely missed. He is survived by his father, Gerald Uwiera and by his siblings Bill MacDonald, Margaret Cholod and Judy Uwiera. He is also survived by Mary Jean Dolshagen (Niece), Donna Doyle (Niece), Debbie Conn (Niece), Kathryn Doyle (Great-Niece), Garek Conn-Gold (Great Nephew), and Sarah Gold (Great Niece). His mother Alma Jean Uwiera predeceased him. A heart felt thank you goes out to all the staff at the Strathmore Continuing Care. Funeral services will be held Saturday January 15, 2011 at Strathmore United Church at 2:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made directly to the Strathmore District Health Services Continuing Care (200 Brent Blvd., Strathmore AB., T1P 1J9).
