Obituary for Wilson Wilfred Casper
CASPER, Wilson
1935 – 2022
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces that Wilson Wilfred Casper (Lee) passed away, with family at his side, at Bethany CollegeSide, Red Deer, Alberta on Thursday, March 17, 2022 at the age of 86 years. He was born October 1, 1935 in Fairview, Alberta to mother Grace Casper (Lee-Pawluk). Over his lifetime, he worked as a farm hand in Donalda, Alberta, Alcan Aluminum Smelter Plant in Kitimat, B.C., and he also surveyed for McElhanney Land Surveys of Edmonton, Alberta. Later in life, he worked as a Boiler Maintenance man for the Provincial Government in Alberta and retired in Saskatchewan. Wilson loved traveling and collecting rocks (which his children and grandchildren enjoy doing to this day). In his retirement years, he made many pieces of jewelry and attended flea markets selling his wares.
He will be very much missed by all of us and whomever had the pleasure of having him in their lives.
Wilson will be lovingly remembered by his ex-wife, Kathy (Currie) Dell, his daughter, Sharon (Douglas Biegel predeceased 2019), his grandsons, (Brian-Lee Biegel predeceased 2020) Daniel Biegel, Matthew Biegel, (Tina Hutchings), his great grandsons, Joey and Jackson Biegel, his great granddaughters, Destynee Moore, and Koahn-Lee Biegel (Brian-Lee Biegel), his daughter, Shelly Casper-Parenteau (Greg Gardner predeceased 2001), his granddaughter, Kimberly Gardner (Travis Villeneuve), his great grandsons, Cail Stigen, Leland Villeneuve and his great granddaughter, Brooklyn Villeneuve, his granddaughter, Stephanie Gardner (Edgar Chalifoux), his great granddaughter, Nevaeh Gardner, his son, Dallas (Debbie Nehring), and his sons, Earl and Everett (predeceased 1972).
He will also be sadly missed by his brother, Fred Casper, his nephews, Wade and Kevin Casper, his sister, Joyce (Johnny Frey), his niece, Melanie (Stacey Lund) and his nephew, Gary Frey.
Per his request, there will be no Funeral Service. The Family will have a Private Gathering in the summer. In lieu of flowers, if desired, Memorial Donations in Wilson’s honor may be made directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation at www.heartandstroke.ca or to a charity of the Donor’s choice.
