1929 – Elinor Snortland – 2022

Elinor Kathryne Snortland of Medicine Hat, passed away on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at the age of 93 years, beloved wife of the late Floyd Snortland. She leaves to cherish her memory two children Darrel (Helen) Snortland and Denise Snortland (Ross Scrimshaw) ; eight grandchildren Jody (Lawrence) Pellissey, Cole (Roseann) Snortland, Brooke Price, Erin (Dan) Cavan, Colin (Maguy) Snortland, Jayden Snortland, Amber (Jay) Adams, Chad (Chaiki) Palmer; her great grandchildren Georgia and Katherine, Miya and Ilea, Skyler and Lily, Beau and Brenna, Lou and Maë, Jak and Nora, Katie and Khloe. She was predeceased by her parents Halfdan and Emma Kvavig, her son Delbert Snortland, daughter Dolores Palmer, and grandson Shay Snortland.

Elinor was a homemaker all her life and made the best home for her family. She was the best cook and baker, becoming known for her cinnamon buns. She sewed, quilted, knit, crocheted, and loved her flower and vegetable garden. Both Elinor and Floyd loved to dance, and Elinor taught her family to dance around the kitchen. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and the adjective everyone used for her was “sweet”. Elinor was happy when her family was around even if it was for a quick five minute visit. At Christmas, when the grandchildren were young they would go to the farm and stay for a few days. There were lots of presents under the tree, lots of food to eat, fun and laughter and among it all Elinor could be found sitting on the floor with all of her grandchildren around her. The family has many happy memories of Elinor. Everyone of them is precious and will be treasured forever as her family will treasure her.

The graveside funeral service will be held at Hillside Cemetery on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. with Life Celebrant David Townsend officiating. Those who wish to remember Elinor with a donation, may do so to the charity of your choice. To leave a message of condolence you may visit www.pattisonfuneralhome.com.
