February 25, 1931 – May 7, 2025
It’s with sadness that we announce the passing of Ed Woolrich. He was a dad, grandad, and a great grandad.
Ed was predeceased by his wife Melissa and his son James.
He is survived by his brother Peter, daughters Carrie (Dave) and Anne, his grandkids Rezso (Alyssa), Garrett (Daniela), Gillian (Isaac), Hunter (Reeyse) & Gyongyi(Matthew)and his great grandkids Boe and Millie.
Originally from a dairy farm in Nercwys Wales, he moved to Canada to attend business school where he met Melissa.
Ed’s passion was ranching/farming. He was the caretaker of the Huble Farm for years where they started out with 3 kids, then moved to Stone Creek where he ran the Fraser Bend Ranch until Carrie and Anne graduated.
Dad was a very hardworking man for all his adult life. You would very seldom find him inside the house and very rarely took a holiday. In his last 4-5 years he struggled a bit with dementia and his final year he resided at Simon Fraser Lodge. We are thankful for all the care they provided him.
At dad’s request, we will not have a funeral service, but we are planning a celebration of life/outdoor BBQ at a later date
