David Cota Sr. Oct 30, 1953 - June 24, 2026
It is with heavy hearts that the family of David Dennis Cota announce his passing at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at the age of 72 years.
He leaves behind his children, Tara Lee Traxel and David Cota Jr; their mother, Sharon as well as many friends he met over the years. He was predeceased by his mother, Margaret Mary Cota and his father, Charles Cota.
Dave was born on October 30, 1953, in Leader, Saskatchewan and was raised in the close-knit community of Sceptre, where he developed the strong work ethic and quiet determination that would stay with him throughout his life.
On April 19, 1980, Dave married Sharon Cranston at St. Mary’s Church in Medicine Hat. Dave spent his career doing what he knew best. From 1977 to 1984, he worked as a toolpush with Westburn Drilling before becoming a drilling consultant with Buffalo Consulting from 1984 to 1987. In 1987, Dave found his true calling in livestock hauling, operating for DJ’s - D&D Livestock, Grace Cattle Carriers and later Dave Cota Trucking. He remained dedicated to the industry until his retirement in 2022. Dave took immense pride in his work, his custom Freightliner trucks and the reputation he earned through years of honesty, reliability and hard work.
Those who knew Dave will remember his dry sense of humour, the famous raised eyebrow that often said more than words ever could and the quiet giggle that usually followed. He was a true gentleman with a kind and generous heart. Dave was a supportive father who always put his family first. His greatest accomplishment in life was the family he loved so deeply.
Dave found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He enjoyed people watching over a cup of coffee, reading books, history, trivia, collecting model tanks, admiring cars and heavy trucks, listening to music and spending time at home. He loved horses, guitars, college football and had a lifelong appreciation for all animals. He also played recreational hockey as a teenager and never lost his love of the game.
Some of Dave’s happiest memories included welcoming his children into the world, purchasing the family farm, buying his custom Freightliner trucks, visiting his dear friend Bernie Klettke and enjoying holidays with his family. These moments meant everything to him.
David also had a special place in his heart for animals. Over the years, he lovingly cared for many rescue pets, giving each one a safe home and unconditional love.
His steady presence, thoughtful advice and unmistakable expressions will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Alma Gutfriend Feb 16, 1937 - June 8, 2026
With a smile that could light up any room and a heart dedicated to lifting others, Alma lived every day as a masterclass in compassion. Her kindness, warmth and unwavering love for family and friends touched countless lives. It is with profound sadness that the family announces her peaceful passing in Medicine Hat on Monday, June 8, 2026, at the age of 89 years.
Alma Gutfriend (née Otto) was born on February 16, 1937, in Medicine Hat on August 20, 1954. She married the love of her life, Michael Gutfriend and together they built a life centered on family, friendship and community.
Alma joyfully raised four children: Wayne (Diane) Gutfriend, Bernice (David) Weatherby, Brian (Joanne) Gutfriend and Michelle (Arnold (Sandy)) VanBeveren. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother whose greatest happiness came from the people she loved. Alma was the guiding light for her eight grandchildren: Jennifer Gutfriend, Stephanie (Ryan) Armstrong, Melissa (Cory) Montean, Matthew Gutfriend (Robyn Atkinson), Micheal (Kendal) Weatherby, Jason (Tanya) Weatherby, Tammy (Brian) Tait, Jordan Kahut and two special grandchildren, Brian and Michelle VanBeveren; each of whom she made feel cherished and uniquely special. Her legacy continued to grow through her 15 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed to experience her boundless love, generosity and gentle spirit.
Alma was predeceased by her beloved husband, Michael; her daughter, Michelle; her sisters, Florence, Gladys, and Ethel; and her late-life companion, Wallace Wutzke. A dedicated community volunteer, Alma gave generously of her time and talents.
She volunteered with Meals on Wheels, the Veiner Centre and served on the board of the 5 Pin Bowling Association, to name a few. Her commitment to helping others reflected the compassion that defined her life.
Alma embraced life with enthusiasm and joy. She was an avid bowler who loved music, singing, dancing and playing cards. She had a remarkable gift for bringing people together. Family gatherings at Alma's home were filled with laughter, shared meals, songs around the table and countless spirited games of Hand and Foot Canasta. If you knew Alma, you knew her love of travel, family celebrations, warm hugs and her ability to make everyone feel welcome.
Many family traditions will continue because of Alma's loving influence. Her treasured German strudel recipe, famous "Sex in a Pan" dessert and homemade egg noodles were shared not only as food but as expressions of love, creating memories that will be cherished for generations.
Though her family is heartbroken by her loss, they find comfort in the countless memories she leaves behind and the example she set through a life of kindness, generosity and unconditional love. Alma's legacy lives on in every family gathering, every shared meal, every warm embrace and every act of compassion inspired by her remarkable life. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
Her family would like to thank the caring staff at AgeCare Riverview for the care and attention they provided to Alma.

Margaret White August 16, 1942 - June 20, 2026 (Age 83)
Marge was born at Borden, SK to Jacob (Jake) and Katerina (Tena) Klassen. She was the third of four children in a loving and hard-working home.
Her parents worked for the phone company, Jake as a lineman and maintenance man and Tena managing the telephone office and switchboard which was in their home. This meant that as soon as she was old enough Marge learned to work at the switchboard teaching her responsibility and the value of helping others.
She did well in school and attended the University of Saskatchewan where she obtained a BEd, as well as a husband and life-long companion. She married Clarence (Jack) White on October 31st, 1963.
She and Jack taught school in Melfort and Estevan, SK before moving to Medicine Hat, AB where they remained. Marge taught at Medicine Hat College from the time they moved to the city until she retired. Never one to sit still for long, she obtained an MBA from the University of Calgary while working full time and raising five children. Jack was her frequent chauffeur, doing the driving so she could study and occasionally sleep during the many trips to and from Calgary.
She was a life-long learner and educator, both professionally and at home. Her culinary skills were well known, and she frequently took cooking classes to learn about new types of cuisine. Her children and grandchildren learned to “just try it”, usually with excellent results! Marge loved nature, growing things, and watching and listening to birds. Meadowlarks were a special favorite, and their song could always make her smile. She was intelligent, resilient, quick-witted, loving and kind.
Marge left this life early in the morning on June 20th, 2026, with her loving husband at her side. She was predeceased by her parents, her sister Marie, and her youngest son Mac. She is survived by her husband, Jack; her children and grandchildren, Randy (Susanne) – Benjamin, Diedrich, Hannah; Sean (Kimara) – London (McCall); EJ – Jaden, Ada, Teija; and Kate (Jose) – Ezequiel, Solomon, Efrayim; as well as her great-grandchildren, Scotland, Brisbane and Woolley; her brother, Jake; sister, Betty; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Donald "Don" James Wood Sept 24, 1963 - June 21, 2026 (Age 62)
Don leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Cathy Wood; two sons, Zane Wood (Samantha Stock), Taylor Wood; his grandchildren, Zoii & Ronin Wood; mother, Doreen Wood; sister, Dawna Krahn; as well as his nephews, nieces, and their families. Don is predeceased by his father, Wayne Wood and brother, Bruce Wood.
Don was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He lived in numerous places while growing up, attended more schools than most can imagine, but ended up back in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Then, while working as a security guard at the Maple Creek Homecoming, he met Cathy. As the saying goes “the rest is history”. Don & Cathy married in 1985 and raised their boys in the family home for their entire lives.
A degree of wanderlust came with his 30+ years long career as a pipeline dozer operator and later foreman. This career afforded Don and his family the opportunity to visit many places across Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia that most people wouldn’t think to stop and experience. Summers spent living in campgrounds in the 5th wheel are some of his sons’ most cherished memories. He took great pride in his work, and even greater pride in sharing his knowledge with younger up and coming workers. He helped train many young operators and took great pride in watching them develop and succeed no matter where life took them afterwards.
After many years of hard work, he also began to enjoy the fruits of his labor by travelling the world. Mexico, the UK, and Croatia to name a few. Adventure was in his blood, something he passed on to his sons.
We deeply appreciate all those who brought joy and comfort to Don during his cancer journey. All the texts, phone calls, hunting trips, chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, scotch, visits from family and friends really lifted his spirits and brightened his days.
In his own words, Don left a final message the family would like to share.
“I think everybody has things they regret either doing or not doing but everybody has their own journey to take. Please don’t feel sad for me as mine has come to an end, it was a hell of a ride with awesome people and wonderful experiences. Enjoy your journey and make it the best trip you can, because you only get one shot at it and you never know when it will end.”
Special thanks to the Palliative Care & Home Care teams, EMS, Emergency staff, and doctors and nurses of 4 West.
No formal funeral service will take place. Those wishing to remember Don are invited to his back yard to share refreshments and memories with his family on Saturday July 18, 2026, from 1-3pm. Those who cannot attend please remember Don in their own special way. Condolences may be made at http://www.gracememorial.com. Arrangements are made by
