    Notes:

    Elva told me (Heather), the following excerpts. Her mother, Zillah had been painting cupboards in their home, the children had all been ill with strep throat infectons, and finally, Zillah herself succumbed to a serious strep throat infection as well. She was rushed to the hospital, feverish, delirious, not responding to any treatment at that time by Dr. Cousineau. Family members - like Hazel Wilkie, stayed with Zillah during the nights, to assist in her care. Altho, Zillah did improve physically, she didn't improve mentally, and was transferred to the Mental Hospital in Ponoka, AB. This was most devestating to her family, husband, 3 young children at home now, without a Mother. Zillah remained for 16 years in Ponoka and her children feel Zillah was never given the right chances, medications, diagnoses to help her improve. Once she was transferred to Claresholm, she fared much better, but at this time, couldn't manage by herself independently. Elva, Islay and Austin are left with many unanswered questions to this day. (July 27, 2002. HW.)

    Obituary:
    Zillah Irene Troyer was born June 14, 1899 at Stouffville, Ontario. Zillah came to AB in 1906 with her parents where they homesteaded in the Markham district. She took her schooling in the Markham School and in 1921 was married to Ross Edward Weeks. To this union three children were born, Austin, Elva and Islay.
    Ross and Zillah only had 16 years together. In the spring of 1937, Zillah took sick with a strep infection, and was placed in the Ponoka Mental Institution until 1953 when she was transferred to a care home in Claresholm until July 1991 when she was transferred to the Coronation Nursing Home, where she has resided until the time of her death.
    Predeceased by her parents, her husband Ross and her brothers, Clarence, Artis, and Wilmot, Zillah is survived by one son Austin (Alice) Weeks of Cator, two daughters Elva Wimmer of Calgary, and Islay (Jim McKay) of Red Deer; 17 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren; 4 great, great grandchildren as well as numerous friends.
