Muriel Royce Gall

It is with heavy hearts and deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Royce Gall of Drumheller, AB. She passed away on Friday, October 25, 2024 at the age of 84 years, after a lengthy battle with dementia.

She will be forever and lovingly remembered by her always attentive husband of 60 years, Charles Gall; along with their daughter, Tracy Becker and her children - Megan and Sarah; her son-in law, Scott Bergmann and his daughters, Pyper and Trinity; her brothers, Dale (Joan) and Wayne; and nieces, Patty, Crystal, Lisa and Carrie.

Royce was predeceased by two of her daughters, Dana Gall and Harla Bergmann; along with two of her brothers, Bob Rowell and Eddy Rowell; and nephew, Brent Rowell.

Royce was a loving and loyal wife to her husband of 60 years Charles as well as an amazing and supportive mother and friend to her daughters, Dana, Tracy and Harla; and grandchildren, Megan, Pyper, Sarah and Trinity.

Royce grew up in Morrin, Alberta, and upon graduating from High School, she moved to downtown Drumheller and worked at the Drumheller hospital. Not long after Royce packed her bags and headed South. Once in Texas she settled into a small town called Big Springs, Texas. There she met the Love the of Her Life and soon after married Charles. Royce gave birth to their first daughter Dana in Texas in August of 1964 and then their 2nd daughter Tracy in 1966 in Pennsylvania. Shortly after, they moved to Calgary with their two girls and in 1974 had their third daughter, Harla. In the summer of 2022, Charles moved himself and Royce to Drumheller to be able to care for her better in a smaller house and be closer to her remaining brothers.

Royce worked as a lab assistant at the Calgary General Hospital for over 35 years. When not at work Royce could be found painting portraits, landscapes, rocks, automobiles and her fingernails. Royce was so artistic, she picked up stained glass, tiling, landscaping or whatever piqued her interest. Her favorite thing to do was anything with artistic decorating. Royce would never pass up the chance to completely tear down and redecorate a room when Charles would work out of town for a week. It got to the point where he would warn her before hand to “not” spend money while he was gone. Everyone who knew Royce remembers her for her love of animals; dogs, cats, birds, and even a skunk.

Royce’s presence will be felt deep, we will never stop missing you.
