Edmund Maier
January 15, 1929 - March 6, 2025

It is with deep sadness that the family of Edmund Maier announce his death on Thursday, March 6, 2025. Born and baptized in the Ukraine, he emigrated to Canada from Germany in 1950, having suffered great misfortune after the war. He married Felicitas in 1954; son, Harry was born in 1959. In 1960, he and Felicitas bought their first hotel in Manville, Alberta. They moved to Calgary in 1966 where Edmund owned and managed three hotels successively - the Royal Hotel, The Town and Country Inn, and the Crowchild Inn, where he inspired people with an amazing business sense, fairness, and dedication.

Faithful Christian, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and neighbour. Edmund was compassionate and generous, known for his strong work ethic, good humour, outgoing character, and for lending a helping hand whenever he could.

Edmund will be lovingly remembered by his son, Harry; grandsons, Kristoff, Stefan, and Lukas; sister, Elsie; brother, Hans (Barb); sister-in-law, Jessie; and many nephews and nieces. He is predeceased by his wife, Felicitas and brother, Felix.

A Visitation will be held on Friday, March 21, 2025, from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Choice Memorial (105, 4715 – 13 Street NE, Calgary, AB).

A Funeral Service will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 11:00 am at Hope Lutheran Church (3527 Boulton Rd NW, Calgary, AB).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Edmund’s memory to the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary.

The family thanks the Manor Village at Varsity staff for their amazing care.

“Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing but life everlasting.”
