BURKHART - MAREN ELIZABETH BURKHART, born December 13, 1986 in Calgary, only daughter of DEBORAH BURKHART and MICHAEL BROADHURST. Passed away in a coma December 4, 1997. Maren was an exceptional child, happy, intelligent, and uncomplaining, who reveled in the joy of having two homes and two loving parents. Maren missed one day of school due to illness during her life, and then got sick last Saturday, hurting with all the symptoms of influenza. After a weekend of being treated for flu, she waited over two hours in emergency untreated before asking to be taken home, in pain. The next day she received blood tests and was at last admitted to emergency, after which she was operated on for a ruptured appendix, and placed in a general ward because the intensive care unit was full. Twelve hours later she was diagnosed with septic shock, and died shortly after. Maren was the apple of the eye of her mother, father, and step-mother Patti Broadhurst. Maren loved her peculiar family; three sets of grandparents; Charlotte and Donald Burkhart of Rome, New York; Dorothy Broadhurst of St. Albans, England, (from where Grand-dad Charles Harold Broadhurst is already helping Maren in her transition to her new life); and Pat and Rose Holowachuk of Nanaimo, BC; her brothers and sisters, Merilee Brockway of Canmore; Matthew and Christopher Broadhurst of Victoria, BC and Patrick and Sara Dickinson of Nanaimo, BC; as well as her real and adopted uncles, aunts and cousins in England, Quebec, New York, Ontario, Alberta and BC; and her niece, baby Sarah in Nanaimo, BC. Maren loved life, and enjoyed every type of activity from swimming to soccer; horse riding to hiking; computers to playing cards. She was kind, caring, a joy to be around, frequently willing to help, and seldom ever complaining. The puppies and parrots at Mum's; and the activities and learning at Patti and Dad's; with love from all around, gave her a secure, but unique childhood. Last Friday, she played cards with Daddy and Patti, and laughed at beating us before retiring well for the last time. How someone who lived so short a life could fill others with such an overwhelming sense of loss, cannot be imagined. Maren had attended Ecole Holy Name and Sacred Heart Elementary Schools, where she was nurtured by caring teachers, principals and support staff. Four weeks ago, Maren reluctantly went to see West Island College, a private junior and senior high school on Blackfoot Trail. After viewing the school, she determined she wanted to go there. Learning would continue to be fun. The following day she took the entrance examinations, and the day after her death, we learned that Maren had been accepted. An endowment fund is being set up, to enable a qualified, promising, but needy child to attend this school. In lieu of flowers you are invited to make donations to "The Maren Burkhart Scholarship Fund at West Island College" in care of the Rotary Club of Calgary, 622, 304 - 8 Avenue SW, Calgary T2P 1C2. The family will hold a private prayer service. A celebration of Maren's life will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, December 11, 1997, followed by interment at Eden Brook Memorial Gardens. Arrangements in care of JACQUES FUNERAL HOME, Directors. Telephone: 403-297-0711. "She was my North, South, East and West, My workday week, and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought that love would last forever, but I was wrong." W.H.Auden (12/8/97).
