November 25,1939 – February 28, 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma, Gaylene Lange.

Gaylene was born November 25, 1939 in Wapella, SK to Bernard & Agnes (Knuttila) Petays. She was the oldest of two children with her brother Brian.

Gaylene took her schooling in Wapella, SK and Deloraine, MB. She then went to Regina and earned her secretary course. While living in Regina she met John Lange. They were married in 1958.

They had three children, Perry in 1959 and Shelly & Sherry in 1960. They lived in Regina before moving to Calgary and finally Vancouver. Gaylene worked at Safeway in Regina, at BC Place as a clerk and finally the Women’s and Children’s hospital in a clerk position as well. Gaylene retired from the Hospital. After John’s passing, Gaylene moved back to Saskatchewan.

She had a great fondness for cats, loved visiting, crosswords and above all her favorite pastime was reading. Her Church and her faith have always been a mainstay in her life.

To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die.
