Obituary of Jill Ann HARBICHT

October 16, 1952 – September 23, 2011 Jill Harbicht, beloved wife of Stephen Harbicht of Calgary, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with amyloidosis and cancer at the Tom Baker Center on Friday, September 23, 2011 at the age of 58 years. Jill was born on October 16, 1952 to Norm and Nora Harvey in Carberry, Manitoba. Throughout her childhood, the Harvey family called many places in Manitoba home. Jill married her husband Stephen in 1975 at the Rock Lake United Church Camp, Manitoba. For nineteen years Yellowknife, NT was home to Jill, Steve, and her four wonderful kids; Kim, Laura, David, and Andrew. After retirement, Jill and Steve relocated to Calgary, Alberta and enjoyed much warmer winters. Jill lived a full and busy life, never wasting a moment. She devoted herself to her family and cherished her career as a Registered Nurse in Winnipeg and Yellowknife. Her life was balanced with music, church, volunteer pursuits, golf, and her many wonderful friends. Jill was a driven, loyal, strong, determined and honest person. To her husband, she was a beautiful companion, a loving friend, and a soul mate to the end. To her children, she was a great teacher, loving mother and an inspirational roll model. To her three beautiful grandchildren, she gave endless hugs and kisses and leaves them with wonderful memories they will cherish forever. She was generous, compassionate, caring, kind and a true friend to everyone she knew. We are blessed to have shared her life. A Celebration of Jill’s Life will be held at St. Thomas United Church (100 Hawkwood Boulevard N.W.) on Friday, September 30, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
