Mr. Allan Corbett of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Mrs. Isabel Corbett, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Monday, May 20, 2019 at the age of 90 years. Al moved from Nelson, B.C. to Lethbridge in 1949 to work for CP Express. He and Isabel met in Lethbridge and were married in 1954. Al and Isabel continued to reside in Lethbridge where they raised their two children Barbara and Tom. Al went to work for Oliver Chemical Industrial in 1965.

Al was a very active volunteer in Lethbridge at St. Andrews Church, the Lethbridge Food Bank, the Lethbridge Air Show, the Kiwanis Festival and the Lethbridge Swim Club. Al always enjoyed being around children and loved being Santa Claus at the College Value Mall. One of his great joys was the time he spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
