In Memory
Gordon Oborne
Gordon left the world quietly and at peace surrounded by his
loving wife, Jennifer, and all four children. Dad was the third son of LeRoy
and Edith Oborne. The family farmed in the Bentley/Eckville area and then moved
to the Cremona area and ranched west of Water Valley. Dad met and married
Jennifer Tuppen, the love of his life. They built their own home and resided in
Cremona until present, raising four children. Dad did a variety of jobs –
hauling logs, contracting right of ways, clearing and oilfield consulting. He
worked all over Alberta and also in the Arctic. Dad loved spending time with
family and friends, holidays, camping, hunting, fishing and gardening. He loved
the odd drink of rum and sharing a good story (that was mostly true) with
family and friends. Gordon, Dad, Gramps will be greatly missed by his wife of
nearly 58 years, Jennifer, children and their families Christine (Jim) Turner –
Kailey, Madison and James (Sam) – Wren; Wes (Stacey) Oborne (Isaac, Eliza);
Jillian (Kendon) Dressel (Nicole, Ayla); Russel (Christine) Oborne (Roy, Len);
special niece Larissa (Clint) Gellrich (Leland, Bridget, Sawyer) and nephew
Jarvis. Also survived by brother Boyd (Edna) Oborne, sister-in-law Myrna
Oborne, brother-in-law Jim (Lindy) Tuppen and numerous nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by parents LeRoy and Edith Oborne, brother Allan Oborne,
sister-in-law Maria Tuppen and granddaughter Eliza Oborne.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Cremona Congregational
Church on Saturday May 4th at 2:00pm. The family is grateful for the wonderful
care Dad received over the years from our local health care system.
