Mary Lillian “Lily” Rideout (nee Humphrey) passed away December 27, 2021 at Red Deer Regional Hospital. She is lovingly remembered by son: Brian Rideout (Lee-Anne); son David Rideout, daughter-in-law Kathy, and daughter Susan Murray (Cam); by her grandchildren: Robyn Jensen (Dean), Laura Neaves (Matt), Randall Rideout (Jackelyn), Patrick Rideout (Adrienne Sholes), Julie Weber (Drew), Andrea Rideout, Eryn Sawatzky (Bern), Meghan Henderson (Chris), Johanna Murray, Nicole Murray, and Sam Murray and by her great grandchildren. Lily was predeceased by her husband Leslie Rideout, their son Keith and her brothers and sisters.
Lily was born on her parents’ homestead near Delia on November 13, 1923. She was the sixth of ten children. Growing up during the depression made her tough, independent, and full of fun. After school, she moved to Calgary, marrying Leslie Rideout in 1945. They moved to Red Deer in 1946 where they founded Ad-Viser Publications and raised four children.

When Lily wasn’t working outside the home, looking after the children or grandchildren, keeping house, gardening or sewing, Lily volunteered her time as a Brownie leader, at the Red Deer and District Museum, for the Royal Purple, First Baptist Church and Canadian Blood Services.
She was a reluctant traveller, but Les and Lily travelled throughout the US, Canada, South America and Falkland Islands. After Les passed away Lily toured Hong Kong, China, England, Kenya, and travelled Western Canada with her cherished friend Mary-Lou.
Lily loved the Lord and looked forward to going home to be with Him. She prayed daily for her family.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to The Red Deer and District Museum.
