Mae McMorran
October 15, 1936 ~ February 22, 2026
It is with sadness that the family of Mae Elizabeth McMorran announce her passing in Medicine Hat on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at the age of 89 years. Mae was born in Empress, AB., on October 15, 1936, the only beloved child of Leo and Elsie Saull. She attended school in Cavendish, AB. Mae married Charles McMorran on February 22, 1953, and together they farmed in the Bindloss area where they were active community members. They enjoyed 57 wonderful years before Charles passed away in 2010. Together they welcomed four children: Linda, Ken, Lance and Ron (Teri). In 1979, they moved to Medicine Hat where both Mae and Charlie worked for Wackenhut Security for several years, travelling south during the winter months. Their home was always an open door to family and friends as Mae always had cookies or muffins ready to share, and their Christmas feasts were beyond compare! Often you could find her at the cabin at Lake Newell, fishing or enjoying her yard. Along with her children, Mae is survived by her 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren; cousin, Brenda Harty and her family; sisters-in-law, Dale (Merv) Ochitwa and Sue Barrows as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Along with Charles, she was predeceased by her parents; daughter-in-law, Marj McMorran; Linda’s partner, Gerry Petryk and grandson, Connor McMorran. She will be greatly missed! Dignified cremation has taken place. Mae’s life will be honoured and her memory cherished without the proceedings of a formal funeral service.
