Mother
A Mother is someone you love from the start
She can patch anything,
From your pants to your heart
A Mother is a teacher, a preacher, a pal
Besides all of this, she’s a wonderful gal
She is everything nice,
And she’s loved a lot too
And Mother you know
That goes double for you.
Author,
Anna McKinlay

February 22, 1927 – August 31, 2010
Parker Archibald (Arch) Dickson passed away on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 83 years of age in Calgary. Survived by June, his wife of 61 years, children Peter (Chris), Margaret, Myrla Bulman (Steve), Barb Homer (Don) and grandchildren Stephanie and Shauna Bulman, and Jeff, Amy and Michael Homer, sister Jean Fox, many dear cousins, nieces and nephews, and Secret, the last in a lifetime’s worth of well-loved dogs. Predeceased by his parents Hugh and Annie Dickson and his brother Hugh Jr.
Born in Onslow, Nova Scotia on February 22, 1927, Arch first came west as a teenager to the cattle ranches of his four Gilchrist uncles. Captivated by the scale of the prairie landscape, he convinced June, his bride-to-be, to join him in 1949. After several years working on ranches with cousins and friends they moved to the city. Time as an insurance adjuster allowed Arch to explore the province before he started his own business as a service station operator with BA, Gulf and finally PetroCanada. He was National President of the Automotive Retailers Association during the energy crisis of the mid 1970s and received awards for exceptional levels of customer service and corporate professionalism.
His Maritime nature showed in community contribution. He was a founding elder of St. Andrews United Church, a devoted driver with Meals on Wheels and Neighbourlink, and delighted in a year as a chaperone for the Hidy and Howdy mascots of the 1988 Olympics. All those who met Arch will remember his firm handshake and clear blue eyes meeting theirs. He was truly interested in what was happening in the lives of all those he met and cherished strong ties with family, friends and work colleagues. He loved to discuss world and local events over coffee and his thoughtful insights will be missed.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church (924 Heritage Drive S.W.) on Saturday, September 18, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Arch’s memory to Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute at the University of Calgary (3280 Hospital Drive N.W., Calgary, AB T2N 4Z6) or Calgary Meals on Wheels (3610 Macleod Trail S.E., Calgary, AB T2G 2P9).

Lillias, the youngest of eleven children, was born in Trochu, AB. She moved to Turner Valley when she was eighteen to work as a telephone operator with AGT.

In 1964, they moved to Calgary where they raised their family of five. When her children were more independent, she took the opportunity to return to the work force part time and nurtured her talent in oil painting. Volunteering was also a huge part of Lillias’s life and she spent over fifty years with the Eastern Star where she was Worthy Matron several times. She was very involved with her children activities and held various positions within Job’s Daughters, Demolay and Girl Guides. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the Heritage Seniors were like second homes and she truly valued the friendships she made over the years. Lillias was a true lady with a witty personality and a warm heart. She enjoyed nature and spent a lot of time at the family farm and in what is now called Kananaskis Country.
Lillias loved her family above all else and will be lovingly remembered by her children, David (Lynda) Mulder, Val (Klaus) Henze, Roy (Sharon) Mulder, Sylvia (Randy) Gibson, and Kathy Wilson (Frank Derochie); twenty grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and many extended family members.
