Lily Hrisook, resident of Spirit River, AB, formerly of Jarvie, AB, passed away on Sunday, October 20, 2024, in Spirit River at the age of 92 years.

Lily was born in Jarvie, AB, on November 20, 1931. She grew up in the Jarvie area, on her family’s farm until the age of 18, when she met Bill Hrisook, and the couple moved to Spirit River. Being raised on a farm, Lily continued her strong work ethic all her life. She would help with the outdoor farm chores, housework, and parenting her children. She always had a smile on her face and her warmth made the people around her happier. You could often find her singing while working.

In her spare time, Lily loved to read books, crochet and tend to her garden. She was particularly fond of her flowers.
