LaVoy Bennett
March 31, 1942 – August 17, 2025
LaVoy Bennett passed away peacefully in Lethbridge, Alberta on August 17, 2025, at the age of 83.
LaVoy was born on March 31, 1942, in Edmonton, Alberta, and was lovingly adopted by Maurice and Necia Bennett. He was raised on the family farm in Kimball, Alberta, where he learned the value of hard work and developed a lifelong love for the outdoors.
A journeyman carpenter by trade, LaVoy worked throughout Southern Alberta, specializing in drywall. He was known for his strong hands, unwavering work ethic, and meticulous craftsmanship. Whether building homes or creating handcrafted knives and leather cases, LaVoy took pride in everything he did.
He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, and spending time in the mountains. The wilderness was where he felt most at home.
LaVoy was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived a life grounded in service, family, and quiet dedication.
On September 23, 1968, he married Corinne Finch, with whom he raised five children and shared many wonderful years. After her passing in 2015, he later married Jutta Wood, who also predeceased him. In 2021, he married Bernice Stanyar.
LaVoy is lovingly remembered by his children: Sharon (Steve), Diane (Paul), John (Angela), and Maurice (Lyndsay). He was predeceased by his daughter, Carol. He leaves behind a legacy of love in his grandchildren:Eric (Shanna), Connor, Abigail (Aashish), Lillian, Benjamin, Elizabeth (Nigel), Sarah (Andro), Erin (Jason), Veronica (Michael), Blake, Zach(Sidney), Levi, Lyndon (Shelby), Korea, and Braedon.
He was also blessed with great-grandchildren: Kendon, Charlie, Emma, Madyn, Aspyn, Sutton, and Cato.
He is also survived by his wife Bernice, and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
LaVoy was a big man in every sense—strong, dependable, and hardworking. He built more than structures; he built a life filled with purpose, love, and quiet strength. His legacy will live on through the hands and hearts of the family he helped shape.
The Funeral Services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, South Hill Chapel, Cardston, Alberta on Thursday, August 21, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Friends may meet the family from 10:00-10:45 a.m. prior to the service. Interment to follow at the Kimball Cemetery.
