Elaine Heather Blezard
Aug. 5, 1946 – Sept. 24, 2024

Elaine Heather Blezard was born Aug. 5, 1946, in Renfrew, Ont., to Rev. Herbert and Muriel Blezard and passed away Sept. 24, 2024.
She was predeceased by her brother Ted Blezard; and is survived by her sister Connie Holmes, and her nieces and nephews: Victoria Blezard, Tamara Spence (Chris), Geoffrey Holmes(Alison) and Robert Blezard; five great-nephews and many cousins in Ontario, Alberta and B.C.
In 1947, the family moved to Saskatchewan where she grew up in the small towns of Boharm, Shaunavon and Eston. She attended the U of S, Regina campus, and graduated as a teacher in 1968. Rocky Mountain House hired her for her first teaching position, and she taught at Lochearn Elementary School, teaching Grades 1 through 4 at various times until she retired in 2003. Elaine enjoyed teaching and loved the children she taught. Rocky Mountain House was her home and as her health failed the place she chose to stay.
Elaine loved to travel, and her holidays were spent exploring Europe, Hawaii, Canada from coast to coast and visiting family in B.C. and Ontario. Scrapbooking was a hobby, and she made many lovely scrapbooks with her photos. Her photos tell the story of her appreciation of natural beauty and there are many pictures of sunsets, flowers and scenery.
She was a member of Northern Crossing Music and Drama Society, acting and singing in many of their productions including the first one. Elaine always loved reading and in her later years as her eyesight failed, she was delighted to discover audio books.
Elaine’s faith was a big part of her life. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church in Rocky Mountain House, serving on the session and singing in the choir.
The last 15 years brought many health challenges for Elaine, and she handled them with great strength and grace. Her family appreciates her community of friends that enabled her to stay in her own home until she moved to Park Avenue in Nov. 2022 for the care she needed.
