On July 21, 2020 Beatrice Mildred Harke (Lutz), of St. Albert AB, passed away peacefully after suffering a massive stroke a week earlier. She was born in Mohnton PA on February 4, 1928.
Mom was very loved and will be greatly missed by those who knew her. Surviving her are her son Lowell Harke, her daughter Angela Cutting and her husband Philip, her granddaughter Alyssa Stiksma and her husband Justin, and her grandson David Cutting. She is also survived by her sisters Elizabeth Matz and Mary Greissman. Mom was predeceased by her husband Herbert Harke in 2006.
There will be a private family service and she will be laid to rest beside Herbert.
On Sunday, July 26th at 2pm, please honour your own memory of her in a way that is special to you...and if possible wear something purple.
Sending love and condolences from Val Boyko. She loved Bea very much.
Condolences to the family of Beatrice from Gaylene and Mike Babichuk.
My mother, Lorna Greig and Beatrice became good friends during the time they lived at the Citadel, St.Albert. They had many good visits and shared memories of past times of the United Church communities that they each belonged to.
On occasion we also chatted with Beatrice and found she was a very special, thoughtful and caring person.
Angela and Lowell, we are so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you today as you gathered to remember Beatrice. She was a wonderful talented woman and it must have been even more difficult to not be able to celebrate her life with music and the church family that gave her so much joy in life. Our loving thoughts are with you.
My condolence’s to Bea’s family. Bea was a wonderful woman who I knew through Knox Metropolitan while in ministry there. I connected with her a number of times at her home in Avonmore area and in her apt in St Albert. She was a good cook and a great host. I give thanks for her life. My prayers are with you.
