Women's Institute members,
localK, nationally and internationally,
are mourning the death of the
Alberta Women's Institute's past
president.
Holly Hallett, one of the charter
members of the Jackson W. I., died
of cancer last week. She was 64.
Hallet was a long standing member
of the W. I , joining up with
Jackson after she and her family
moved to the Carstairs area in 1951.
Noreen Olson, another member of
the Jackson W. I. and a friend of
Hallet's, said she was deeply committed
to W. I. and to her family.
" There wasn't much she
couldn't do," Olson said. " She was
capable, bright hard working and
obviously courageous. She put a
lot of energy into her work with the
W I , but she was also a very good
mother, grandmother and wife.
Home and family were very important
to her."
Hallet was president of Alberta
W. I. from lQ90 to 1993. Tragically,
she is the second president
A. W. I has lost to cancer
Shirley Ann Hammer of Olds, u ho
was supposed to take over the presidency
this year, died in 1993. Olson
said while their deaths were a blow
to friends and family, the years
they were involved in W. I made a
difference.
" Holly was one of the most organized
people I have ever met,"
Olson said. " And a very, very intelligent
person with a good business
sense. Under her leadership, the
A. W. I is more business- like than
every before."
Both Olson and Hallet's daughter-
in- law Darlene, said the founding
principles of W. I. were very
important to Holly.
" She really enjoyed the organization
because it is a group whose
major focus is on education and
awareness," said Darlene " She
really enjoyed things that were
worthwhile."
" She was always on top of cur-rent
issues," said Olson. " We had

August 11,1994, at the age of 64.
Holly was AWI President from
1990 to 1993, and was on the AWI
Council for 12 years. Her
accomplishments during those years
included chairing the pornography
awareness program, implementing
the Alberta Rural Child Care Pilot
Project with the Government of
Alberta, acting as a member of the
Environment Council of Alberta,
leading Leadership Training
Programs, and taking part in
strategic planning for the Alberta
Home Economics Department.
She was also a board member with
the Federated Women's Institutes of
Canada ( FWIC) from 1987 to 1993.
Holly was an active volunteer in
her local Carstairs community. With
husband Bob, she raised six children
and worked the family farm. To all
her activities. Holly brought not
only her keen intelligence and
business sense, but also her warmth
and respect for others.
Between four and five hundred
friends and relatives attended
Holly's memorial service in
Madden. Many more friends across
the country and around the world
will miss her. Holly was a most
capable and courageous woman,
and leaves a lasting legacy with the
organization she worked so hard for
- Alberta Women's Institutes.
Thank you. Holly, and farewell.
some great discussion. She knew
all about the important issues day
to day and no detail was too small
for her."
Olson also said it was Holly's
leadership which helped to get the
Rural Childcare Project rolling. She
is also credited with supporting the
leadership programs at Gold Eye
Camp and the W. I.' s support of the
Alberta Coalition Against Pornography.
Besides her work with W. I.,
Hallet was also actively involved
with the family farm and her 6
children. Darlene said Hallet was
actively involved in the Carstairs
community, volunteering for several
events and organizations. But
besides her family, Olson said there
are friends all over the world who
will mourn her loss.
" She travelled quite extensively
with W. I. and I know there are
people all over who consider her a
friend."
A memorial service will be held
for Hallet today at 2pm at the Madden
Community Centre.
