Esther "Es" Illa
Esther Medin of Red Deer, fought a brave battle against breast cancer, persevering with humour and a positive outlook until her passing on Sunday, April 27, 2014 at the age of 63 years.

She will be dearly missed by her children; Arminnie (Kevin) Good, Jason Huss and Julie Huss, all of Red Deer; grandsons Daniel, Ethan and Kyler of Red Deer; and granddaughter Akeera of Lacombe; her dear friend Bruce Edgar of Blackfalds; her siblings Thyra Whitford of Calgary, Corine Hood of Sechelt, BC, Clark Shanks of Calgary, and Heather Neilson of Rocky Mountain House; her step-dad Chuck Whitford of Stoney Plain, AB; many special nieces and nephews; and numerous friends and colleagues.
