Bredo, Elaine Marie
June 11, 1957 - December 15, 2024
With heavy hearts and lots of love, we announce the passing of our beloved Elaine; she was a much loved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. Elaine is survived by her husband, Gord, her daughter, Macy (Paolo Cruz), her granddaughters, Kendra and Katrina, and her brothers, Wayne Kinsella (Elaine), Patrick Kinsella (Jo), Kevin Kinsella (Lynne), her brother in-law Dennis Bredo (Barb), sister in-law Arleen Maxwell (Laurie) as well as numerous nieces, nephews and loved ones.
Elaine was pre-deceased by her in-laws, Frie and Leora Bredo, and her parents, Mark and Yvette Kinsella.
Elaine loved her husband, daughter and son-in-law, but her granddaughters held an extra special place in her heart. Elaine fought her battles with cancer much like her mother; with a smile on her face and very few complaints. Her largest complaint was that she would not get to see her granddaughters grow up.
Elaine was born in Edmonton but lived in St. Albert for the first six years of her life. She spent three fun years living in California before moving back to Edmonton. Elaine was a competitive figure skater who loved being on the ice and eventually went on to become a figure skating teacher. Elaine met the love of her life, Gord and once married she moved to Barrhead.
Elaine was an Educational Assistant in the junior high and high school for several years, but her favorites were the years spent in the kindergarten class. Many years were spent living on the ranch west of Barrhead, and after that Elaine really loved living in Sylvan Lake. But the lure of living near all of her family pulled her back to St. Albert, where she spent the last seven years of her life.
The family would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the entire team at Foyer Lacombe for the truly phenomenal care and love she received while living there.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, December 20 at 1:00 pm at St. Albert Parish Catholic Church, 7 St. Vital Ave, St. Albert. In lieu of flowers, please direct your giving to Foyer Lacombe through the Covenant Foundation. Direct your gift to Site: Foyer Lacombe. Visit covenantfoundation.ca for donation info.
