1931 ~ Alfred Kohls ~ 2022

It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow that we announce the passing of Alfred Morris Kohls on Thursday, January 20, 2022 at the age of 90 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of almost 65 years, Doreen Kohls of Medicine Hat; three children, Pam (Bing) Sulz, Cindy Kohls (Glenn Adam), and Carey (Mike) McNeill; six grandchildren, Kaley Sulz (Joel Graham), Keaton Sulz, Lorin Kohls, Jaylyn Kohls (Rob Foley), Boston (Sarah) McNeill, and Clayton (Sarah) McNeill; two great grandchildren, Liam Burns and Jovie Graham; one brother, Ray (Jeanette) Kohls, one sister, Marlene (John) McKnight; one sister-in-law, Elaine (Fred) Blondeau; one brother-in-law, Les Muhlbeier; two aunts; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Lydia and David Kohls; Doreen’s parents, Henry and Leonora Muhlbeier; two brothers, Leonard (Carol) Kohls and Harvey (Joanne) Kohls; and one sister-in-law, Janice Muhlbeier. Farming life began for Alfred in 1957 at Golden Prairie where he would enjoy the next 57 years doing what he loved. There were so many fond memories made of the farm life because of Alfred’s love for farming and his family. Alfred was a good welder and carpenter and could fix almost anything but his talents were not limited, he also restored tractors, a model A car, a wooden buggy, several pedal tractors and built tractor cabs. He took up wood carving and has generously given carvings to family members. He enjoyed the simple things in life; his family was everything to him. There was great joy for him just watching his children and grandchildren have fun. Hours of entertainment were had on the swing set, slide, teeter totter and playhouse – all built from scratch by Alfred. In the winter he would push snow so we could enjoy the huge snow piles! The last two years he enjoyed his time at Masterpiece exercising daily as well as setting up puzzles. Alfred’s family meant everything to him; he was a very quiet, gentle man enjoying the simple life. He will be greatly missed by all of us and will remain in our hearts forever! A private funeral service will be held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Saturday, January 29, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Daryl Martin officiating. The chapel service will be live streamed, and family and friends who are unable to attend are invited to watch the service by searching for the Pattison Funeral Home Youtube page. The video will go live 10 minutes prior to service time and will remain on the youtube page for future viewing. Those who wish to remember Alfred with a donation, may do so to the Margery E.
