July 16, 1933 – November 29, 2009
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of an amazing woman, our loving and dear mother Maria Barberio (Nonna Maria) of Calgary. She quietly passed away on Sunday, November 29, 2009 at the age of 76 years.
Maria was born on July 16, 1933 in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy. She immigrated with her husband Battista in 1959 in search of opportunity and prosperity for themselves, children and grandchildren. Maria was the type of person that we all strive to be and know. A hard life from beginning to end never took the fight out of this grand lady. She believed that hard work, honesty and optimism would never fail her. For example, at the age of fifty Maria learned to swim and go off the low diving board, and at the age of sixty she taught herself to read and write. Her passion was real estate, but her biggest regret in life was not learning to drive which she felt would have given her freedom and independence. Her ferocious love for her children was incomparable. She was like a mother bear, protective, nurturing and guiding. Maria’s strength was an example of how we should all lead our lives to the fullest and not fear the unknown. Facing death with such dignity and serenity was just Maria Barberio’s style. She was a pillar of strength to the end of her earthly life. Her faith and belief in God kept her at peace knowing that someday we will see each other again. Until that day comes mom we will never forget your beautiful smile, loving eyes that spoke without speaking and your warm gentle touch. Plus that voice with words of wisdom and guidance. Not to mention all the wonderful meals and the smell of your bread baking in the oven.
According to Maria she is survived by her greatest accomplishments HER CHILDREN: three respectful sons and two daughters-in-law, Gino and Gail Barberio, Dominic and Antonella Barberio, and Bruno Barberio; a loving daughter and son-in-law, Gemma and Robert Festa; seven adoring grandchildren, Michael, Stephen, Joel, Ryan, Amanda, Dominique, and Nico.
Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY’S, Chapel of the Bells (2720 Centre Street North) on Friday, December 4, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. Graveside Service to follow at Queen’s Park Mausoleum.

Lily Petrie beloved wife of the late William (Bill) Petrie of Lintlaw, SK, passed away at the Bethany Care Center in Cochrane, AB on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at the age of 85 years.
Lily was born June 19, 1924, in Grimsby, England, to parents Alfred and Ellen Bosley. Her family moved to Morden, Surrey, when she was a young child. As a teenager, she worked in and managed a dress shop, and when WWII broke out, she joined the war effort working in a factory that built electrical motors and generators. During the war, she met husband Bill who was serving in the Canadian army. After returning to Canada to be discharged, he returned to England and they were married on January 11, 1947. They came to Lintlaw, SK, in April 1947 and began building the family farm where they raised their three sons. It was in these early years on the farm that Lily earned her reputation for making among the best bread and apple pies in the neighbourhood. She loved her vegetable and flower gardens and spent endless summer afternoons weeding and planting. In the winter, she was a keen member of the local ladies curling club and was always counted on to have one of the best jokes of the bonspiel supper speeches.
Lily lived on the family farm until 2000, when she moved to her house in Cochrane, AB. As her health deteriorated, Lily moved from her house to the Big Hill Lodge in Cochrane, where she enjoyed the company of others and participated in the group outings and activities. When her condition worsened, she moved to the Cochrane Bethany Care Centre where she spent the last four years of her life. Her time at Bethany was made immeasurably more pleasant by the friendship and love of her caregiver and companion, Dolly Wilson who quickly recognized Lily’s love of dogs, kit-kat bars, and a funny story, and provided Lily with all that and much more.
Lily is survived by her son Bill (Connie) of Cochrane, AB; grandchildren, Michael, Dana, Billy, Erin, Courtney, and Scot; great-grandchildren, Grace, Sophie, and Samantha; and daughters-in-law, Ann Wagner, Kelly Krienke, and Gwen Petrie. Besides her loving husband William (Bill), Lily was predeceased by her sons, Brian of Cochrane, and Dale of Lintlaw, SK.
Lily’s remains will be buried beside her husband Bill and sons Brian and Dale in Lintlaw, SK after a service in the local United church, sometime in June when the prairie is green. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
The Petrie family wishes to thank all the staff at Bethany for their care of Lily these past years and particularly during her last days. We also want to thank the staff at McInnis and Holloway for their help and support.
In living memory of Lily Petrie, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Cochrane Funeral Home, 369 RAILWAY STREET, COCHRANE. Telephone: (403) 932-4740.
