H. Theodore (Ted) Epp slipped peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Maker on Sunday, January 17, 2016, at the Three Hills Hospital. He was born September 15, 1923 to John and Katherine Epp in Laird, Saskatchewan and spent his childhood years in that area. In his mid-teens his family moved to Winnipeg in hopes of a better life. Ted was blessed with a beautiful tenor voice and as a teenager began singing in various choirs and quartets. It was on a quartet tour throughout the prairies for Winnipeg Bible College that he met the love of his life, Luella Schroeder, and they were married on July 5, 1947. They did everything together…working, gardening, singing, travelling, and serving others. Ted's first twenty years of employment were in the automotive industry, where he worked up to service management with dealerships in Regina, Swift Current and Calgary. In 1961 he was hired by Reimer Express Lines to open and manage the terminal in Regina. In 1972 Ted and Luella moved to Kelowna to begin a new venture-Dorella Sewing Centre-which they operated until moving to Abbotsford in 1988 to retire. In 1996 they relocated to Red Deer to be closer to their two daughters. Ted and Lue moved to Golden Hills Lodge in Three Hills in May of 2014 to be closer to at least one daughter during their "golden years." Over the past two years he volunteered as a driver for the Seniors Outreach Program, something he loved to do. Dad will be remembered as a "doer." He was always busy and took pleasure in helping wherever he could. He was a handyman with a toolbox in the car. He could fix anything at any time for anyone. He loved his family dearly. Besides his family his first priority was serving his Lord and Saviour. Although life had challenges along the way he trusted that God had a plan and purpose for his life. We rejoice that he has reached the end of his journey and has heard the words "Well done, thou good and faithful servant". Ted was predeceased by his beloved wife of 67 years, Luella, in 2014; his parents; a brother Oscar and sisters Erika and Irmgard; and son-in-law Phil Pearsall, grandson Colin Axelsen and great granddaughter Madeline Axelsen. Ted leaves to mourn his two daughters Beverley (Roger) McIver of Three Hills, AB, and Brenda (Pearsall) Jansen and husband Don of Abbotsford, BC; grandchildren Paul and Chantelle McIver (Niger, West Africa); Bryan and Lisa McIver (Olds, AB); Leanne Axelsen (Wetaskiwin, AB); Saulo and Amy Castro (Drumheller, AB); Chad and Chantrelle Pearsall (Sylvan Lake, AB); Branden and Tiffany Pearsall (Airdrie, AB); Tyson and Janessa Pearsall (Moose Jaw, SK); and 12 great grandchildren. A memorial service is planned for 2:00 pm on Saturday, Jan 23, 2016 at Mount Olive Evangelical Free Church in Three Hills, with Sunset Funeral Service in charge. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to One Hope Canada, Box 234, Three Hills, AB T0M 2A0. Condolences may be sent to the family at condolences@sunsetltd.ca.
