Elmer Deal

April 4, 1933 - September 4, 2021
It is with great sadness that the family of Elmer Deal of Rimbey, Alberta announces that he went to be with his Lord and Saviour on Saturday, September 4, 2021 at the age of 88 years.
Elmer was born to Dave and Julia Deal in Champion, Alberta on April 4, 1933. He spent his growing-up years farming with his dad. In 1959, Elmer was married to Joyce Steeves, and together they raised four children on the family farm south of Champion.
In 1987, Elmer and Joyce moved to Rimbey where he was employed with NAPA Auto Parts until his retirement. Elmer's great love was his children and grandchildren. The arrival of great grandchildren into his life brought great joy and twinkles to his eyes.
