Russell “Russ” Emory Gillrie

August 5, 1948 ~ December 24, 2024

The family of Russell ‘Russ’ Emory Gillrie are deeply saddened to announce his sudden passing on December 24, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of 76 years.


Russell was born on August 5, 1948, in Didsbury, Alberta. Russ’ younger years were spent in Edmonton before making Calgary his home for 20 years. He eventually moved back to Edmonton, but his love for the Calgary Flames followed him. Russ spent the majority of his time at Pigeon Lake where his love for golf, music, and good conversation made him a natural host for entertaining family and friends.


Russ was an amazing father to Caitlyn (Thane) and Jourdan (Amber); and a proud Grandpa to Sadie, Aubrey, Teagan, Brody, and Alaina. Russ will be deeply missed by the many family and friends that had the privilege of having him in their lives.

Russ’ legacy is one of love, laughter, and unwavering loyalty.

In following with his wishes cremation has taken place.

Sheri-Lynn Marie Teeter

September 1, 1971 ~ January 5, 2025

Sheri-Lynn Teeter, born September 1st, 1971 in Edmonton, Alberta, unexpectedly passed away January 5th, 2025 at an Edmonton Hospital surrounded by her loving children.

Sheri was a proud mother of Jay (Melissa) Teeter, Cara-Lynn (Richard) Teeter, Quiana (Sébastien) Olchowy, Andrew (Rebecca) Scott, and Ed Rhein and was an even prouder grandmother to her grandchildren Aubree Scherger, Brooklyn Teeter, Landyn Teeter and Tyson Olchowy-Frappier.

She is also survived by her mother Doloris Pequin and many siblings, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends who will all deeply miss her.

Predeceased by her daughter Angel Teeter; father John Teeter; and stepfather Al Radford.

Sheri-Lynn surrounded herself with love, music, friends and family. She pursued her love of music performing with Gary Martin and the Heavenly blues, performing her heart out every chance she had on stage. She was never short of having a quick joke or smart remark that could get anyone laughing in the moment and always had time to talk to anyone she felt needed it. She found the good in almost anyone who crossed her path and gave everyone a chance to be themselves.

She opened her door to anyone who needed some help to get back on their feet and never passed up the opportunity to make them feel welcomed and loved.

The void that has been left since her passing cannot be filled but will not outweigh the wonderful memories she shared with all who had the privilege of spending time with her throughout her adventures of life.
