Weslyn MATHER

March 9, 2016
Just learned of her passing. Weslyn was a remarkable advocate for learning. She was a friend to all and she will be missed dearly.

Together again with her beloved husband Dick. What a remarkable woman, grandmother, and friend. We will treasure our memories of you Weslyn!

I truly wish I could have attended the memorial. Mrs. Mather was a trusted teacher from elementary school to high school. She was such a special person and will be missed. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Weslyn's spirit continues to shine within everyone she ever met, knew, befriended or loved. I doubt she's 'resting in peace'... rather she's dancing up a storm in Dick's arms to Elvis tunes... tripping the lights fantastic throughout the Universe!

My sincerest condolences to your entire family. What a sad loss of someone who had so many talents to use and gave of them so generously to so many.

Sincerely,

Jim Campbell

Weslyn was a very special woman who made me a better person and who made the world a better place. Thank you, Wes. Rest in peace.

Weslyn Mather, what can you say? A solid performer in her personal, psychological, school councillor & legislative lives. What this A1 class lady did was turn her disability into an ability & that asset kept people always thinking positive thoughts about her! You can really say Weslyn was & is to be admired greatly!

Weslyn may have had wheels for transport but figuratively she "stood tall" in the legislature & in her work in schools helping students & Albertans. I am a sad we won't hear her voice on the political scene anymore

My family moved to Millwoods in 1977 and Weslyn was the school councillor at Grace Martin elementary. She was then my House Master at J Percy Page in the early 90's. She used to always volunteer to be a hair model while I was in Beauty Culture in high school. I occasionally styled her hair in my tiny salon over the past decade. Me, my mom (Arlene Leroux) and my older brother (Craig) will greatly miss her.

We remember Weslyn at Grace Martin as an approachable colleague who dealt professionally with staff and students knowing how to listen to others' concerns and show warmth and compassion when support was needed. Weslyn's friendly demeanor endured her to people and she will be sadly missed. She was a great teacher and political figure and above all---a really unique person that was loved and admired by all who knew her. Dianne & Elaine

Weslyn was a remarkable woman who worked tirelessly to help our youth. She assisted Parents Empowering Parents Society to establish our Mill Woods supports and was a strong advocate for better resources for youth involved in substance abuse. It was a privilege to know her and she will be greatly missed.

Just learned the sad news. What a wonderful woman. What a loss to her family, friends, the Alberta Liberal Party and the many Weslyn was such a strong advocate for. I will remember a genuine, kind and dedicated soul truly committed to serving others. Your light will always shine on in the example you set and your good work. Rest in peace Weslyn.

Sorry for your loss. Ellen Weatherbys daughter Jewel

Wes was a remarkable lady. Her skill with kids and people was apparent all the way back in her days at Grace Martin School. She was a remarkable educator and a good friend.

Will always cherish my memories of our times together. Wishing we could be with our family members, however, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

my friend - Route 66 lunches will never be the same without you.....I am so sad we have all lost you, - I am hoping there is a heaven and you and Dick are back at the A&W falling for each other all over again............

Was great knowing you Wes. You certainly made a difference in my life. You was a great leader, advocate, mentor and friend. Rest well my friend - a rest duly deserved. will miss you.

Thank you for your service Weslyn. Rest in Peace.

Weslyn was a true ambassador for the Community of Mill Woods, as a teacher, administrator, MLA, and "leader at large" on societal issues. Weslyn also served on the Bosco Homes Board in her effort to advocate for and assist disadvantaged children and youth. Too special to leave us so soon and so suddenly.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Such a beautiful Lady. Classy. Will be missed. ❤
