Åse was very close to me when I was brought up, though we were very seldom together. It was my grandmother, Margit/Lilleba, that always told us stories from her sisters life in their younger years but also from the contact they had every week over the phone throughout the years.

I am soon 50 years, and one of my biggest memories from my youth was me travelling with my grandmother from Sweden to Canada for a longer visit at Åses and Geralds house. I was 17 then. Åse was so happy to have us there and filled our days of activities, meetings with her friends, trips to must see places and also a drive to Banff, Lake Louise and a lots of other places! We also, of course, met the most of Åses children, my fathers cousins. I remember Margaret took me out one night with her friends and I had my life's first nachos and shandy drink!

Though the distance geographically and in age, Åse was always near, happy to hear about us and told us about her family. I know Åses family means a lot to my father and they were meant to see each other in Canada last summer but then the pandemic came in the way.

I am sorry for our loss of Åse but I comfort my self with the thought of her and my grandmother now are together.

All my love, Ulrika

I first met Aase on the tennis court at the Calgary Winter Club. Whether playing with or against her, Aase was always a warrior on the court and her infectious laugh could be heard by all. She had an impeccable sense of style was always the best dressed person in the room, even in later years when it was not as easy for her to achieve.

I attended many lunches, birthday celebrations and Krumkaka evenings with Aase and I will always treasure those times.

My deepest condolences to the family. Aase was very special and will be missed by many.

So sorry to hear you have lost your wonderful Mom.

Aase was an amazing woman. She approached the world head on with a positive can-do attitude, a great sense of humour and panache.

I will miss our conversations, seeing her wonderful smile, and knowing I could count on there being at least one more Hardanger bunad at Sons of Norway events.

God reise Aase!

My sincere condolences to the family and Merly on the passing of Aase. I considered her my friend. We shared many good times together talking about our background and childhood in Europe and about her love for sports and mine for dancing. Thank you Margaret for being my partner when none was available at Rocky Ridge.

I visited her at Christmas time at her new place and one of her wishes was to have her silver candleholder polished. I volunteered but she would not accept. I miss her.

Sincere condolences to your family on the passing of your dear mother. As a member of the infamous Winter Club gang, I shared many fun times with Aase - badminton, tennis, sewing, learning how to bake Krum Kaker etc. She was a special friend, and we all will miss her.

sincere condolences from Knut & Bernice Haga and family

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom Aase. We had great times playing badminton and tennis and of course getting together with our Sewing Circle that Aase started, I was so fortunate to have had Aase as a friend and will miss her happy, bubbling personality

Dearest Naylor Family,

My sincerest of condolences on the loss of your beautiful mother. Your Mom would make such a vivacious enterance into a room which exuded brightness and kindness; not one to forget who you are. It was alway fun when she would come into Cambrian and visit with everyone, it was her second home.

Dear Family of Mrs. Naylor,

I only know Dr. Maggie Naylor - for whom I have the highest regard. My parents were friends of your parents, some years ago. Then, my Mother, Mary Mjolsness, also resided in the Rocky Ridge Retirement Residence, where she again met your Mom. I just want to express my condolences to your family on the passing of your Matriarch. I always knew of her to be such a 'spunky' lady, and as you say, always so fashionable. Know she will be missed by all of you.

Sincerely, Marilyn (Mjolsness) Will

Dearest tante Åse,

For so many years and numerous visits to Odda you and uncle "Gevald" brought the spirit of Canada to me. I was so happy when you invited me to come and stay with you for a year. I was only 21 and you were like a mom away from home to me. You made me feel so much at home. I never forget your kindness, your beautiful Christmas home and tasty dinners. You made sure I received a student visa and I could study. Andy helped me with both Mount Royal College as well as U of C. It was not odd that I did not want to go home. You and I played tennis and badminton at CWC. You were such a cool tante. I will miss you from the bottom of my heart and I am glad we got to talk just a few weeks ago. It is so much more to say, tante but I will carry it with me in my heart and cherish it for ever. I will never forget.

All the love,

Helge

Deepest condolences from the Retzer-Lyons family. We hope you find peace in your loving memories. A fond memory of ours is how our good friend Margaret kept Aase’s amazing 60s and 70s fashions alive by wearing them to friend gatherings in the 80s and 90s.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Aase was a very good friend of my late mother Alice Jean Smistad, through the Scandinavian Centre. The enjoyed each other's company over many years. I met her many times, she was a lovely woman. Full of life and so proud of her heritage, She came from near where my father Ivar Smistad was from as well.

Dear friends…Aase is a name I’ve heard all my life. My parents Knut and Frances Vesterdal knew Gerald. and Aase very well and of course mom sang in the choir at Scandinavian centre for years and years. Aase was always gracious and quickly became one of my favourites in that group of people. When her best buddy Liv Jonsberg passed away I made sure that one of my first visits with all the news was Aase. I’m so glad that she was able to spend her final years in that lovely condo just off of 53rd. I do not know you her children but if you are anything like either of your parents… Then you must be wonderful people. Wishing you the dearest sympathy.
