Mark was a true gift to all who knew him and had the ability to make anyone smile, he loved his family and his friends. Mark had a magnetic personality and was always laughing and joking. Growing up in Grande Cache, Mark loved to play hockey. He played through his minor hockey years, culminating with him playing for the Grande Cache Rockies, bringing home the championship in his first year on the Grande Cache Senior Men’s hockey team.
A zest for life, a love of family and friends and a determination that only the closest to him knew. He cared deeply about those around him and showed it in everything he did, often putting others needs ahead of his own. Mark will be sorely missed and thought of always.
"HE IS NOT GONE"
Ease your grief, he is not gone,
For in your heart, he lingers on.
His smile, his laugh, his special way,
Will comfort you from day to day.
You’ll feel his presence in the breeze,
That dances gently through the trees,
And it’s his face that you shall see,
When you’re in need of company.
At any time you can recall,
The love you shared… you save it all,
And in time, more than anything,
You’ll find peace in remembering.

SOMBACH
Dorothy Margaret
September 16, 1945 - February 12, 2008
It is with heaviest of hearts that the family of Dorothy Margaret Sombach announces her passing at the age of 62.
Dorothy was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and lived in a number of Canadian cities before settling in St. Albert. She is remembered and loved for being a caring wife, mother and
grandmother. Nothing was more important to Dorothy than her family and whenever we needed her loving care and support, she was there.
Dorothy worked as the Manager of Student Transportation with Edmonton Public Schools where she earned the admiration and respect of her colleagues and friends.
Whether traveling, hiking, playing tennis, doing yoga or playing bridge, Dorothy lived life to the fullest. She was an incredibly strong woman who shared her strength by supporting and nurturing those around her. Everyone who knew her benefited from her quiet grace and her open heart.
Dorothy will be sorely missed by her mother Martha Dorney; her husband Joe to whom she was married for 40 years; her beloved children Robb (Tonya), Dan, Kelly (Alan), and grandchildren Hana, Jackson and Josie. She is also survived by two sisters: Marilyn Ellis (Bill) and Beverley Perreaux (Ed); and two brothers-in-law: Frank Sombach and Raymond Sombach (Emma). Dorothy was pre-deceased by her father Julius Dorney, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Ernie and Terry Sombach.
