Angela Slezina

Ms. Angela Slezina of Lethbridge passed away peacefully at the West Highlands Lodge in Lethbridge on Sunday December 10, 2018 at the age of 90 years.

Angela was born in Kuchyna, Czech Republic on May 9, 1928 and immigrated to Canada with her mother and brother in 1933.  She lived in Ontario, Creston, BC, and then settled in Kipp, AB.  Angela married Frank Slezina in 1947 and together built a family business called Southholm Angus Ranch.

 Later in life, Angela moved to Lethbridge, where she worked for Imperial Fashions as a fashion consultant and model until she retired.  With her green thumb and culinary skills, Angela rarely served store bought food.  Although she was always busy working, she found time to listen to music, dance and cuddle with her favourite pet.  Angela always put her family first until the day she died.

Angela is survived by five children; Millie (John) Boake, Fran (Garry) Sartison, Gary (Dena) Slezina, Evelyn (Colin) Yackulic, Lonnie Slezina, brother Edward (Linda) Klima, sister in law Pat Klima, as well as numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Angela was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Mary Klima, brother Bill Klima. son Kenneth Slezina, and granddaughter Amy Slezina.

Angela’s sweet smile and kind heart will be missed and remembered.
