With deep sadness and heavy hearts, we announce that our mother Patricia (Patty) Lee (née Quinell) passed away suddenly at Lethbridge Regional Hospital on October 23, 2025 following a brief illness.
Patty is survived by her children Stási, Pam, Darren, Glory, Craig, Janet, Lisa, Mark, and Trevor; her grandchildren Ryan, Keegan, Jared, Daniel, Shelby, Kiera, Bailey, Destiny, Lucas, Mia, Ellyson Logan, and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings Arnie, Josephine, Bob, Helen, Janet, Beverly, Cindy, and Karen. She was predeceased by her husband Cliff Lee, her parents Mary (Bea) Salmon and Arthur Quinell, as well as her eldest son Terry Sigsworth.
Patty’s work life included a variety of industries and senior management positions throughout her career. Among her many achievements, Patty hand raised prize winning Maine Anjou Cattle on their Southern Alberta ranch - which she loved. Patty and Cliff shared many happy years of camping and fishing along the streams of the Castle River region. In her later years she discovered quilting and was often busy creating cherished pieces for family and friends.
Mom leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, kindness, and strength that will continue to shine through us. She will be deeply missed.
A celebration of her life with friends and family will take place in Spring 2026, with details to follow.
