Colleen Lyle

Our lovely mum and gma passed away peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the age of 92 years. Born in India to Percy and Marjorie Bartley she emigrated to England with her parents at 18. While taking dance classes she met dad, the love of her life, and they married in 1957. Two years later their daughter Sara was born. In 1964 their daughter Caroline was born. Later that year they moved to Vancouver where mum loved living by the sea. In 1967 they lived for a short time in Denver where they spent many happy weekends taking road trips exploring the United States.

 In 1968 they moved to Saskatoon where mum worked at the Extension Department at the University of Saskatchewan. When dad went back to university and earned his degree in geological engineering the next logical step was moving to Calgary where mum worked until retirement at the Psychology Department at the University of Calgary.

She was predeceased by Alan, her loving husband of 60 years.

Mum was a wonderful person and was loved by many including her daughters, Sara Webb(Brady) and Caroline Lyle; and her grandchildren, Rhys Gillanders (Hannah) and Morgan Gillanders (Adam).
