Mervin, Pat and Family,
Mrs. Kathleen (Kay) Palamarek and Family extends our deepest sympathies to all of you in your loss. We all have very fond memories of Auntie Martha especially for myself as I spent my first Christmas with the three of you and my Mom while Dad was in the army. As Kids growing up we were always very impressed with Auntie Martha's involvement with traveling world wide with the WI and her involvement in the Senate.
Our love to you all.

Mervin, Pat & family,
A kind and wonderful person has left us with such wonderful and precious memories. She impacted my life in so many ways-- she was the one that told me that I could achieve whatever I wanted to achieve, be who I wanted to be, and never allow someone's opinion to sway my beliefs in myself. These are words that I have tried hard to follow. I have so many memories of her that it's hard to pick a favorite one. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Martha was such an important part of our life in Warspite and even after Mom & Dad moved to Edmonton. I think she was the first person who gave me a 'job' - helping harvest vegetables from the garden! So many memories...

Mrs. Bielish was a tremendous role model and warm and caring person. She was the reason I became a teacher . I worked so hard to follow her example. Not a Social Studies class was taught without the mention of her name. In a private conversation I had with her I shared how she had impacted my life. She responded with great humility and grace. I told her I wished to motivate students the way she had. Her response was that all I needed to do was touch one student because they would go forward and touch one more. The ripple effect would be great and would be powerful. Such words of wisdom! I was so proud to know this great lady and honoured to have had my life influenced by her. To Mervin, Patricia and all the family I offer my heartfelt sympathy. Her legacy will carry on through all of you! God Bless you all!.

sorry to hear of Martha's passing.....My mother was Mary Belesch. sister to Peter Bielesch. The last time i saw Martha was the Health Centre in Myrnam and only heard very recently that was in Two Hills. I took my mother to see her a few years ago and she did know her after mom spoke to her for a little while. I am very proud to follow in her steps as a great W.I. member..........Lillian ( Fedechko )Konieczny from Mannville.......

Dear; Mrs. Bielish's Family,
Life and time passes, but memories last forever.
I remember Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bielish being farming neighbours to my parents, in the community of Warspite area. Earlier in the years. Before, Mrs. Bielish became the first female senator of Alberta, in 1979. She was a substitute teacher in Smoky Lake school district. Mrs. Bielish loved to talk about "farming" or "who" each of students were. She'll always be remembered for her smile and soft spoken voice. Mrs. Bielish was truly a treasure and will be missed by all who knew her.

With modesty, she left a very big foot print to guide we who follow.

As a current and relatively new member of the Alberta Women's Institutes I would like to express my condolences to Martha's family.
Martha's contribution to the advancement of women in Alberta and Canada is well known. Women, such as myself, today enjoy the benefits of her many courageous accomplishments.
