With sadness and regret the family of Gordon F. Coates announces his peaceful passing on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at AgeCare Midnapore in Calgary, AB, at the age of 98 years.  He accomplished much throughout his life, personally and professionally.

She nurtured the Patterson lilies for over 60 years.  She discovered quilting in 1975, and it became an everyday passion, winning many awards for her creations. Joyce was an inaugural member of the Seamsters Union and crafted many peedoozlers.  At her request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Victoria’s Quilts Canada which provides handmade quilts to people living with cancer or the charity of your choice.  We are so glad that Mom and Dad are reunited along with their beloved cat Lucy.  To send a condolence, please visit http://www.cornerstonefuneralhome.com
