Edward Osicki Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Osicki, beloved husband of Jane (Paley) Osicki of Red Deer, AB. Edward passed away unexpectedly from a heart condition at the age of 76, on Friday, August 5, 2022. He will be missed more than any words could express, but he will be forever in our hearts until we meet again.
Edward was born in Melville, SK on June 16, 1946, and spent his childhood on the family farm near Melville. He received his elementary education at the Pulaski Plains country school and secondary education at St. Henry's in Melville. After high school graduation, he attended the seminary for a year in Edmonton, AB. He began his lifelong career at the Saskatchewan Department of Highways Yorkton Branch in 1965. He advanced from a Rodman to a Crew Supervisor over the years. Edward and Jane moved to Red Deer, AB following his retirement in 2007 from the Saskatoon Branch.
Edward is lovingly remembered by his wife Jane, to whom he was married for 52 years, his only son, Chris and his two amazing grandchildren, Evan and Blake. Past by his parents John and Mary Osicki and survived and greatly missed by his six brothers Andrew (Betty), Sylvester (Bonnie), Mark (Cindy), Eugene (Arlene), Raymond, and Theodore (Marcy), two sisters Caroline Chillog (Dennis) and Sharon Chillog (Glen), sister-in-law Deb Paley and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He is also predeceased by grandparents George and Martha Krekelewich, Joseph and Mary Osicki, his in-laws Walter and Pauline Paley, brother-in-law Richard and sister-in-law Judy, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Upon retirement, the family built a home in Red Deer in which they lived until his passing. Edward had a passion for detail and it was evident in all he accomplished in life. He enjoyed doing activities on the computer and loved gardening, long nature walks on the trails and the sport of curling. Edward enjoyed his retirement with his family, especially with his grandchildren.
On Friday, August 12, 2022, a private Funeral Mass took place at St, Mary's Parish, Red Deer. The Rite of Committal will be held and his ashes will be interned at the Alto Reste Cemetery, 101 26575 Hwy 11, Red Deer County on Saturday, October 1, 2022, at 11:00 am.

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of a good friend. Ed and I spent many years working together on many highway projects in the Yorkton and Saskatoon Districts. Penny and I extend our deepest sympathies to you and Chris.
