Wigelsworth, Allen Thomas1927- 2013 It is with sad hearts and fond memories that we say our final goodbye to a man who lived life to the fullest, the way he wanted. Allen Wigelsworth passed away peacefully and in comfort in Penticton, BC on December 13, 2013. Allen was the last of 8 siblings to pass through this life, and leaves behind his wife Margaret, son Donald (Angela Shields) and daughter Lora (Fred Schmidt) as well as several grandchildren and great grandchildren.Allen was born in a small community called Turnip Lake, Alberta (now incorporated into Edmonton) and eventually moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta, where he began a dynasty in the furniture industry. He made a name for himself and his family, and was a man whom once you met, never forgot, whether it was because of the stern challenge he forced upon you just to test you, or because of his kind heart, and love of gardening and golf, that he would share with you. When Allen decided to retire, he followed his love of golf, met and married Margaret, and then settled in Penticton, British Columbia where they spent the last 30 years together, hosting family and friends by the lake, on the golf course, or in Palm Desert, CA where they spent their winters. We truly will miss you Al. A memorial service will be held at a date to be determined, in 2014 in High River, Alberta, where he and Margaret have chosen to be placed when the time came. In memorium donations may be made to The Salvation Army, 318 Ellis Street, Penticton, BC V2A 4L7
