WALLACE (nee Kopec)

Edna Virginia

Edna passed away in Red Deer on December 16, 2015 as a result of a stroke she sustained on December 10, 2015. She was predeceased by her husband Ken in January 1998, her parents as well as her sister Wanda, brother Stan and infant brother Ed. She was Mom to Blair Wallace of Innisfail, Gary Wallace (Colleen) of Red Deer, and Karen Wallace-Fraser (Brent) of Calgary. She was the beloved Nana to Calon Rogan, Brandon Rogan and Aidan Fraser. She is also survived by her dear sister and best friend whom she'd call every night, Kae McLellan of New Westminster, B.C. and her brother Leo Kopec (Rose) of Weyburn, SK., many nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. She was a dear friend to her Golden Girls for which they claim they know way to much about each other. Mom had the kindest neighbors past and present of her residential close where she lived independently until her passing in part to their generosity and helpful hand. She will be missed by her bingo friends (her job as she jokingly referred to bingo) and her collection of "adopted" daughters. Mom loved sports especially golf, both playing and watching. Born in Weyburn, SK., this Saskie gal enjoyed "watching" Roughrider football games on the phone with her sister, Kae. In her last days she received passionate care from the staff on Unit 33 and Unit 22 and we the family extend our deepest thanks to them. The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date to be announced. If friends so desire, Memorial Tributes may be directed to The Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.
