Velma QUINTON

SORENSON, Velma Velma Sorenson of Nanton, Alberta passed away peacefully at Signal Pointe Care Centre on October 19, 2007. Velma was born in Leavitt, Alberta on April 8, 1917 to her parents Charles and Francesca Quinton. She will be lovingly remembered by her two sons, Charlie (Carol) of Calgary and Ken of Nanton; and four grandchildren, Kyle, Troy, Bergen and Dalen. She was predeceased by her husband Soren as well as her sisters Martha, Roma, Venice and Olive and brother Everard. Velma was a kind and generous person who was always ready to set an extra place at the table for anyone who dropped by. Traveling was one of her great joys and she loved to reminisce about her trips to Norway and England and cross country trips that took her from Vancouver Island to the Maritimes and from Alaska to Florida and all stops in between. Velma also enjoyed working in her church callings, especially teaching the children whom she loved. She tried to live by a motto her father had taught her, "Do the Lord's work first and your own will be well done later." The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Signal Pointe for providing such compassionate care over the past two and a half years. A Celebration of Velma's life will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in High River on Tuesday, October 23 at 1:00 p.m.. Interment to follow at the Nanton Cemetery.
