It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eunice Frances Wourms on March 22, 2014 after a short battle with cancer. Eunice belonged to a family of eleven children, being the fourth child and the oldest girl.
She was married to Daniel Matthew Wourms on October 4th, 1950, and their first boys were born in Saskatchewan before moving the family to Chilliwack, BC, in 1954. There they had two girls and four boys, before moving to Kamloops in 1961, where they had their last two boys.
Eunice was pre-deceased by her husband Daniel, oldest son Garry, her parents, brothers Walter and Lorne and numerous in-laws. She is survived by Garry’s wife, Jacquie, Gordon & Dianne, Debborah & Merle (McNeice), Victoria & Michael (Brown), Daniel Jr. & Dale, Andrew & Jayne, Timothy & Barb, Kelly & Kathy, Joseph & Marianne and Richard & Jeanine, 41 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, 8 siblings and too numerous to mention extended family.
Mom was a devout catholic and full member of the CWL & Kacets.
She loved music, playing the accordion and guitar, and belonged to many choirs over the years, but was most proud of being a member in the local German Choir.
She was an expert seamstress and crafter, making many beautiful quilts and crochet angles as gifts over the years. Her pastimes were foremost, spending time with her family, then travelling, gambling and golfing with friends.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at 3 West in the Hospital for their compassionate care.
Prayers will be recited at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 7:00pm. Reverend Father Peter Hoan Nguyen officiating.
Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish on Saturday, April 26th, 2014 at 11.00 am with Reverend Father Peter Hoan Nguyen officiating.
