KOROL Orville Bruce
July 18, 1936 - September 6, 2020
The nightmare that is 2020 gets even worse. After suffering a major stroke August 31, our precious Orville peacefully went home to be with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Sunday, September 6, surrounded by his wife Eunice and his two children Bruce and Rosalyn.
Orville Bruce Korol was born in Mannville, Alberta to Joseph and Helen on July 18, 1936. A self-made man, Orville went from farming to working at Shell for over 25 years which he followed up with a successful consulting business. In the midst of that he married the love of his life, Eunice, in Edmonton in 1971. They went on to have two children, Bruce and Rosalyn, makIng cherished memories for several decades. Among other things, Orville will be lovingly remembered for his stoic and calm demeanor, his unwavering faith, and his love for his garden, playing the stock market and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Left behind are his wife Eunice, his two kids Bruce and Rosalyn (Jeff), his greatly adored grandchildren - Cora, Josie, Callum, Larissa, Henrietta and Lydia - as well as brothers Allen (Lorena)(Costa Rica) and Kenneth (Maghnild) (Norway) and his sister Margaret (Waslow) Waldowski (Spruce Grove) and a countless number of friends and family.
A special thank you to the Foothills staff and in particular, Orville's nurses in his final days, Scott and Carlos, who provided such excellent and attentive care. In lieu of flowers, gifts in Orville’s honour may be made to the Mustard Seed. A Celebration of Orville’s Life has been held.
