Andy Dick

Funeral Director/Manager

Born in England in 1962, Andrew’s family came to Canada in 1970. They made their first home in Grande Cache, but moved to Edson in 1973. His first relationship with Foothills Memorial Chapel was when he was 19 years old.  He serviced cars and did general maintenance in and around the building. Soon he was asked to make his first transfer from the hospital and he never looked back. In 1993 he was hired as a full time employee, shortly after he received his Funeral Directors License. He moved to Trochu in 1997 to take over Prairie Winds Funeral Home which he shortly after purchased and successfully owned until 2015. In quiet times,  he would still travel to Edson to help out at the Foothills Memorial Chapel, Edson Funeral Home throughout this time. After the sale of his own Funeral Home in Trochu his stays in Edson became longer. When the Caring Group purchased the Funeral Home he was asked to join the team on a full time basis and moved back to Edson. He takes pride in caring for each family at a time making sure their needs are met.

Brandi Hudson

Funeral Attendant

Brandi was born in Watson, Saskatchewan, but raised in the small secluded northern community of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. She moved out to Edson, Alberta at the age of 18 and had a few career changes over the years but always found herself the happiest in health care and working closely with the elderly. In her free time, you’ll most likely find her with her two children and, if it’s summer and the sun is shining, there’s a good chance there’s friends and fishing rods involved. Brandi is recently new at the Edson Funeral Home and has enjoyed everything she has learned about the funeral service business so far. She is excited to soon be attending school and working towards becoming a Funeral Director and working closely with all the families.
