    4. [S811] Obituary of Lucile BUCKNELL, (Name: Edmonton Journal; Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Date: 28 Oct 2017;).
      BUCKNELL, Lucille Amelia
      January 6, 1928 – October 25, 2017
      It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lucille Bucknell of Edmonton. Lucille was 89 years of age and survived by her sons, Bradley and Barry (Tina) and daughter Barbara (Rick); three grandchildren, Sarah (Mark), David (Natalie) and Henri; and five great-grandchildren, Haven, Conner, Tristan, Emma and Violet, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
      Mom was predeceased by Harold, her husband of 62 years; parents, Mary and William Melnyk; sisters Kate, Annie, Helen, Eva and Doris and her brother John.
      Lucille was born in Edmonton and lived here all her life, but for the four or five months when she took a job in Fort St. John, met Harold and returned to the city to marry. She marvelled at the changes she had seen the city undergo in all that time, recalling how the Hotel MacDonald was once the largest building in town and it could be seen from anywhere; today, she lamented, it can hardly be found.
      Mom died peacefully and at peace with her world. She loved her family and adored her great-grandchildren. She will be missed deeply.
      There will be a viewing on Thursday, November 2, 2017 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at Glenwood Funeral Home, 52356 RR 232 (south of Wye Road), with a Funeral Service celebrating her life to follow at 1:30 p.m.
      In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hope Mission, 9908-106 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, T5H 2N7.
