Thanks Sandra, was hoping RunKitty might take a crack at finding the obituary for Ethel. According to Hendersons Directory for Edmonton, Ethel and Charles Blake began living separately in 1953.

Hi,
I had a look, but didn't find anything. I use the newspaper collection on f.. m.. p. They don't have much for Alberta - especially the major cities. Sorry.
Perhaps a local library could help?

For a fee you can get an obituary for Ethel Armina Blake from this site.
Perhaps the cemetery could give you a more specific date of death that you could supply to the Calgary library to see if they could look up an obituary
