BELVA LOUISE STUBER

Posted: October 22nd, 2021

1932 – 2021

 

Belva Stuber went to her heavenly home on Saturday, October 16th, 2021, at the age of 88 years. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and devoted Christian.

Belva leaves to cherish her memory her children, Sheryl, Dale (Ruby) Stuber and Cathy (Sonny) Page; six grandchildren; twelve great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband, Marvin Stuber on January 19th, 2021; parents, Otto and Ora Mae Honig; and her six siblings.

Belva was born in Eastend, SK on November 28th, 1932 and was the youngest of seven children. She was raised on a dairy farm and helped deliver milk with her dad by horse and buggy. Belva also took piano lessons and had a few favorite tunes she would play for her family. Belva moved to Medicine Hat with her family at the age of 14 where she attended Alexander High School. She worked at Medalta office, Lang Brothers Gibson, Club Café and a restaurant in Banff during summers.

Belva met Marvin at a Whitla barn dance and they were married on October 18th, 1952. This is when she began her farm life with Marvin where they worked alongside each other and raised three children, Sheryl, Dale and Cathy in a loving home. Faith and family meant everything to Belva, her love and devotion will stay forever in the hearts of all who loved her.

When her children were grown, Belva went to work at Pritchard and Company as a legal secretary for 10 years. After working, Belva attended senior programs at the Veiner Center and was an active member with the UCW at Fifth Avenue United Church.

She was a great baker and enjoyed sharing her knowledge and techniques with her grandchildren. Many days were spent baking pies, canning and preparing food for her family.

In the later years when health issues restricted her from attending activities and gatherings, she looked forward to the visits from her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Belva’s strength came from God and she found great comfort in spending her days with Marvin by her side while they reminisced about their life together. Although they were apart for a short time after Marvin’s passing, they are now reunited and will live together in the house of the Lord forever.

 

My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,

but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.”

 

Psalm 73:26
