Obituary of Donald Keith Paul

September 2, 1939 – Cardston, Alberta

November 1, 2024 – Calgary, Alberta

Don, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully on Friday, November 1, 2024, at the age of 85 years.

Don was raised in Cardston and Lethbridge, AB. He graduated from Carston High School in 1957. After high school, Don went on to obtain a Certified General Accounting designation and spent the rest of his career working for a variety of companies in the accounting department.

Don married Bernice in 1964 and shortly after they moved to Vulcan, AB. After a quick three years, the two spent a short time in Olds, AB, before moving to Calgary, AB, where they spent the rest of their lives together.

Don loved camping and being outdoors. Don and Bernice spent many summer weekends in Kananaskis Country. They also took their many different trailers on camping adventures throughout Western Canada and the USA. Don particularly loved visiting Pacific Rim National Park and Long Beach. Don also loved to ride his bike and, up until he retired, he would often bike back and forth to work downtown during the summer months.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years Bernice, two children, Kimberlee and Timothy (Gail); five grandchildren, Travis, Danielle, Jessica, Shenice, and Claire; three great-grandchildren, Shyla, Connor, and Isobella; sister Shirley, brother Dale (Beth), sisters-in-law, Connie and Roberta; and brother-in-law Lorne (Liz).
