Calgary Herald, 16/10/82, has an article about living without a car: "Lloyd and Etta Tuck" are interviewed. They live in a "senior citizens apartment". Lloyd is 79 and Etta is 72. Lloyd only goes out "to the doctor". 

Etta is still living in August 1997 in Calgary, an aunt of her deceased (+27/8/97) nephew William Reed.  Also another aunt Sally Martensen of SK is still living then.

Hope this helps.

Knowing she went by Etta lead me to the obituary for a William Allan Reed in the Calgary Herald on 30 August 1997; names his aunts, Helen Clark, Etta Tuck, and Dorothy Schmil all of Calgary and Sally Martensen of Leask, Saskatchewan.

So they are certainly in Calgary.
I contacted the city but they do not show up in any of the city operated cemeteries(6).

Obituary of Etta's brother Herman Carson Martensen of Saskatoon in September 1983 names his sister Etta in Calgary.  He is buried at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Saskatoon.

Dorothy Schiml died in 2018 at the age of 105. Her obit only mentions her immediate family.
