LINDEN LITCHFIELD

1914 - 2008

Linden Dee Litchfield of Taber passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at the age of 94 years.
Linden was born September 27, 1914, the son of Joseph and Ferl Litchfield in Raymond, Alberta and grew up on the family homestead north of Purple Springs. Linden was the second in a family of eight children. Linden grew up with a deep love of the “Sandhills” and spent many hours in the saddle: both on his own land and in working for ranchers in the area. He often spoke fondly of his memories of working for Charlie Furman and the Francis family.
Linden married Myrtle Lenz of Hillspring on December 20, 1944 in the Cardston Alberta Temple. They have six children: Linda (Wren) Atwood of Bow Island, Merlin (Debbie) Litchfield of Taber, Rita (Bill) Toone of Claresholm, Ardyth (Randy) Erickson of Coaldale, LeRon (Patsy) Litchfield of Taber, Christine (Ken) Proskow of Creston, BC. Linden & Myrtle have eighteen grandsons and seventeen granddaughters and sixty seven great-grandchildren with four more on the way. He is also survived by his brothers Elden Litchfield of Lethbridge and Dean Litchfield of Raymond; sisters Iris Meldrum of Magrath and Dorothy Francis of Taber.
Linden is predeceased by his beloved wife, Myrtle; his parents, two brothers and one sister.
The most important things in Linden’s life were his family, his church, and being a good friend and neighbour. He gave many years of service to his church and to the community. He was respected and admired by all who knew him.
