Obituary of Alec Hudema

HUDEMA, Alec It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Alec Hudema. Alec passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, February 5, 2022 at the Lamont Long Term Care facility, just 6 weeks shy of his 99th birthday. A proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Alec will be lovingly remembered by his children; Judy Forst, Len (Sharon) Hudema, Jerry (Audrey) Hudema, Linda (Brian) Wagner, 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Katie (2014), great granddaughter Mackenzie, his parents Lazor & Barbara Hudema, siblings, John, Bill, Helen, Mike, George and Anne. Dad had a wise and witty sense of humor until his last day. A day would not pass without him teasing someone. His kind, gentle, and selfless demeanour will be truly missed. Alec spent most of his life as a hard-working farmer on the family homestead in the Willingdon area. In his later years there was nothing Dad loved more than to take a drive in the country to “check the crops”. More recently, Alec was happiest when he was building birdhouses or winning against family in a game of cribbage. He enthusiastically embraced his family and community with kindness and integrity. The family would like to thank the staff at the Lamont Health Care Centre and the Vegreville Manor for the kindness and support they have given Alec over the past several years.
