Fay Jennings ( Tollefson)
Leslieville Women's Institute
Mrs. Fay Jennings of Eckville passed away at the Red Deer
Hospital on September 7, 2000, at the age of 76 years, after
a valiant struggle with cancer.
She was born in 1923 at Kingman, Alberta, the eldest of
six, and grew up in a Scandinavian pioneer family, whose
loves were the land, the food it produced, strong coffee and
hilarious story telling.
Jeer wise she trained at the Normal School in Edmonton, taught in one
room schools around the Condor area where she married and raised a
family of three. Later she received a Bachelor of Arts degree and
counseling diploma, returning to teach in schools at St Albert, Valleyview,
and Fox Creek.
Fay then moved to Oliver, British Columbia to enjoy work, gardening,
hiking and exploring the country side.
Fay was a member of the Condor Women's Institute from 1949 to 1966.
As a leader she was president, secretary and held many other positions. If
any project needed done, Fay would gladly see it through. In 1997 Fay
joined Leslieville Women's Institute. During that time she was secretary
and educational convenor for education and the environment. She was also
constituency convenor for Red Deer West.
Fay leaves to mourn; a daughter, Gayle ( David)
Crenna of Ottawa; a son, Laurie of Condor; a daughter Chris
( Keith) Meyers of Lacombe.
Fay was a dedicated W. I. member and
she will be sadly missed.
