Obituary of Lila Brenda Adams

Lila Brenda was born on May 13, 1954, in Provost, Alberta, to Otto and Armella Scherger. 

 

Surrounded by the love of her family, Lila passed away peacefully on July 14, 2026, at the Provost Health Centre at the age of 72, following a brave and courageous battle with cancer.

 

Throughout her journey, Lila faced every challenge with remarkable strength, courage and unwavering determination. She embraced every treatment and diagnosis with hope, never allowing it to break her spirit. Her courage inspired everyone who knew her. She was a fighter in every sense of the word, and as long as there was hope, she never stopped believing in herself.

 

Lila was raised in Provost alongside her five siblings. As the oldest, she naturally stepped into the role of protector and caregiver, a role she embraced for the rest of her life. Looking after others came as naturally to her as breathing. In 1977, Lila married the love of her life, Albert, and together they began the adventure of raising a family. They welcomed three children, whose love, laughter, and endless activities kept them happily busy from that moment on.

 

She lived life with enthusiasm, kindness, and an infectious sense of joy. Known throughout the community for her contagious laugh, bubbly personality, and legendary “take out” weight in discing. Lila was someone who made every person she met feel welcome. She had a genuine gift for conversation, a compassionate heart, and an unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand. Quite simply, Lila loved people, and people loved her.

 

Nothing brought Lila greater happiness than caring for her home and her family. She treasured the weekly Scherger family gatherings with Chase the Ace, tending to her beautiful yard and garden, and ending the day around a campfire surrounded by family and friends. She devoted countless hours to cheering on her children at sporting events, school activities, and every milestone in between. As the years passed, that same unwavering dedication was poured into her grandchildren, who became the center of her world.  Becoming a grandmother was the greatest joy of her life, and she embraced that role with a love beyond measure. Her grandchildren were her greatest pride, and they will forever carry with them the warmth, wisdom, laughter, and unconditional love she so freely gave.

 

Lila also had a deep love for travel and adventure. She created countless treasured memories by taking her entire family on annual tropical vacations.  Whether it was an all-inclusive getaway with family and friends or simply any opportunity to laugh, make memories, play jokes on people and spend time with the people she loved, Lila was always ready for the next adventure or shopping trip.

 

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Provost Health Centre for the exceptional compassion, care, and kindness they showed Lila throughout the past year. A heartfelt thank you to her oncologist, Dr. Mark Webster, whom Lila adored beyond measure. His compassion, dedication, and genuine care brought comfort and hope throughout her journey, and his kindness will never be forgotten.

 

The family would also like to thank everyone who supported Lila throughout her illness, especially during the more difficult days. Every visit, phone call, meal, ride, message, and act of kindness meant more than words can express. Lila was deeply grateful for the love that surrounded her, and her family will forever cherish the incredible support shown to her.

 

Lila will be deeply missed and forever cherished by her loving children Radean (Rory) and their children Finn, Pierce, Keane & Bridget; Ryley (Janelle) and their children Mya, Paisley, Harper & Beckett; Renee (Jeremy) and their children Aspyn, Porter & Pearson as well as her siblings Wanda, Myrna, Calvin (Agata), Kevin (Sandra), Myron (Ione), and all of her nieces and nephews, her sister in laws Joyce (Ray), Margarette and countless family, friends and friends who were family.

 

Lila was predeceased by her husband, Albert, her parents, Otto and Armella Scherger and many cherished brother and sister-in laws.

 

A memorial service will be held for Lila on Tuesday July 21^st, 2026 at 2:00pm at the Provost Hall in Provost, Alberta with Pastor Paul.  Interment to follow at the Provost Cemetery.
