Heather Layn (nee Carlson) Lumley

Heather Layn (nee Carlson) Lumley: Heather Layn (nee Carlson) Lumley was born December 31, 1942, in Stettler Alberta, and died on November 23, 2024 at the U of A hospital. She married Allan George Lumley July 31,1959 and moved to the Dewberry area to farm. Our mother loved to ride her horse Velvet, and when she could, went on trail rides and participated in the Gymkhana events at the Greenlawn Old Timer’s picnic on July 1. In the early 1970’s she worked for a time as a helper at the Heinsburg Post Office and then became a long-time employee at Nelson Homes in Lloydminster. She moved to Edmonton in 1994 to be with her partner. She leaves to mourn her partner Cyril Konkin, her three children Karen Lumley (Pat Haiste), David Lumley and Keith Lumley (Melissa Pitcher), nine grandchildren: Evelyn, Ashley, Cassie, Jamie, Brandon, Kaiden, Hunter, Zachariah and Xander, ten great grandchildren, two sisters Sharon Carlson and Joyce Lunevich, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Ella Mae Carlson and Charles Laverne Carlson, and her sister Ruby Van Straten. While the family misses her, it is a great relief to know she is no longer in pain and suffering. Our mother did not want a funeral and there will be no service. The family thanks you for all of you who have reached out and offered your condolences. Our mother had a soft spot for the homeless and if it calls to you, your donations to help the homeless and general kindness to those less fortunate would be appreciated.
