A social butterfly to the end, she was always ready for Euchre, Scrabble, trivia, learning a new craft, or simply chatting, sharing the stories of her life in her beloved Newfoundland & Labrador, a life for which she was ever grateful. The depth of her love for those she held dear was immeasurable and she seized every opportunity to tell them so Predeceased by her parents Fanny (Stead) and Jim Johnson, husband Allan, infant son Brian, brother Victor, daughter-in-law Margaret, sister-in-law Jean, brothers-in-law Raymond and Karl.

In the 1970's, Bob formed King's Jewellery, and with his wife by his side, built this family business into one which was recognized and respected throughout the industry. Bob worked in the store with passion and enjoyment until age 70, when he broke his neck in a fall which subsequently necessitated closure of the business. Despite his neck injury, Bob continued on as a dedicated member of community groups and on his 82nd birthday, Bob was presented with a 50 year service award from the Gander Masonic Lodge.

His dry sense of humor, wit and optimism helped him through 15 years of various life threatening sicknesses, with Margaret as his caretaker throughout it all. Bob's integrity and eternal optimism inspire his children, grandchildren and many who knew him to face life's challenges with a positive attitude and without complaint. Bob's family would like to thank the staff of James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre, Bonnews Home, Dr. Dicks, Dr. Ojo and Dr. Hickey for their kindness and care they provided our dad/husband throughout his illnesses, especially over the past 3 months.

PARSONS, Elvis Dawes
Published: May 31, 2018
October 14, 1961 - Newtown, Newfoundland
May 21, 2018 - Calgary, Alberta
It is with great sadness that we announce that Elvis, passed away on Monday, May 21, 2018 at the age of 56 years. His sisters Joan and Mary, his niece Dinah and his brother-in-law Douglas were at his bedside during his final living days. Born to Samuel and Levetia Parsons, Elvis made his home in Newtown, Lumsden, Labrador City, Halifax and the last ten years in Calgary. Elvis faced many obstacles but was able to master most life skills with immense help from his family, friends and mentors. He worked his entire adult life in various jobs in the greenhouse industry and for Loblaw's Superstores in Halifax and Calgary for fourteen years prior to his illness. A backyard party, mornings at the Farmer's Market and hikes around the park were a few of the many past times Elvis enjoyed. He loved all animals especially dogs. Elvis loved travelling, visiting friends and family in Newfoundland, taking trips to Florida and Las Vegas, or spending a weekend in the Rocky Mountains. He traveled through eight of the ten provinces of Canada. Elvis was very inquisitive about the places he visited and while touring the parliament buildings in Ottawa once asked, "What do the workers do here in this building?" Certainly a question we've all asked once in a while! Of course his biggest passions were supporting his beloved Montreal Canadiens, his love for country music and roast chicken dinners with the family. Elvis required extra help in many areas of life but it was not a one-way street. He helped with his nieces and nephew in their younger years and he was never a person to say no to a small favour that usually turned into a big help. We all learned life lessons from this great man. Never give up, try to be kind, love your family, and take a little time to have fun.
Elvis will be missed by his sister Joan (Winston) Goodyear and their children, and his sister Mary (Douglas) Watt. Elvis' large circle of relatives, friends and co-workers will remember him fondly. A day of remembrance and celebration of Elvis will take place at a later date. Thank you for the loving care of the staff, Dr. Albuquerque and Dr. Bland at the Southwood Hospice in Calgary. Thank you Dr. Mirza, Elvis' family physician, for your expertise and friendship. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com    If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the charity of the donor's choice. In living memory of Elvis Parsons, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek, 14441 Bannister Road S.E., Calgary, AB, T2X 3J3, Telephone: 403-256-9575.
