<div itemprop="description">STEEDMAN, Arlowene (Arlo) H. (nee Wobick) <br />October 1, 1923 - December 1, 2015<br /><br />Arlo, a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt, passed away peacefully at McKenzie Towne Centre on December 1, 2015. <br /><br />She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Carol Steedman (Ron Pawliuk) and son Dewayne Steedman (Telesa). She is survived by five grandchildren - Lyndsey Leary (Mark), Aaron Steedman (Kim), Timothy Steedman (Toshina), LeeAnna Hough (Dave) and Tammera MacGregor (Adam) and nine great-grandchildren. Arlo&rsquo;s bother Marvin Wobick, sister Bev Perry and numerous nieces and nephews also mourn her loss. <br /><br />Arlo was born in Warner, South Dakota to Robert and Mary Wobick and the family immigrated to a farm near Barons, Alberta in 1929. She shared many special memories of simple farm life in the dirty 30&rsquo;s. She attended Secretarial School at Mount Royal College in Calgary and worked for the Royal Canadian Air Force #11 Equipment Depot during WWII. She lived in Calgary most of her life and worked as an Administrative Secretary for many companies, including Great West Life, Canadian Arctic Gas and Dome Petroleum. <br /><br />Arlo was a world traveler, loved quilting, played a mean crib game, enjoyed playing cards and slot machines, was an expert at crossword puzzles and was a fantastic baker. She was an avid baseball fan - her beloved Blue Jays almost made it to the World Series this year! <br /><br />She took great pride in her children and grandchildren and loved her dogs. A long life - well lived! <br /><br />Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at LEYDEN&rsquo;S CHAPEL OF REMEMBRANCE (corner of 17th Avenue &amp; 2nd Street SW) at 10:30 a.m., with viewing from 10:00 - 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Parkinson Society Canada by email at donating@parkinson.ca/www.parkinson.ca or 1-800-565-3000. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by visiting leydens.com .<br /><br />Do not stand at my grave and weep, <br /><br />I am not there, I do not sleep,<br /><br />I am a thousand winds that blow,<br /><br />I am the diamond glints on snow, <br /><br />I am the sunlight on ripened grain,<br /><br />I am the gentle autumn rain,<br /><br />When you awaken in the morning&rsquo;s hush,<br /><br />I am the swift uplifting rush,<br /><br />Of quiet birds in circled flight,<br /><br />I am the soft star that shines at night,<br /><br />Do not stand at my grave and cry, <br /><br />I am not there, I did not die.<br /><br /></div>
