Claire Hazel Woodcock was born in White Fox, Saskatchewan on March 14, 1924. She died on November 12, 2014 at 90 years of age. She was predeceased by husband Kenneth “Red” Woodcock in January 1998.

She is survived by son Kenneth Wayne (Donna) and daughters Beverly Kushner (Edward) and Rhonda Stoddard (Mark); grandchildren Andrea (Jason), René (Greg), Hayley, Katya, Donnie (Tamie), Lee, Dana (David), Lanis (Dustin), Melissa and Stephanie; great grandchildren Siena, Haiden, Corbin, Tiegan, Hunter and Makayla; survived by Roy (Doris), Jerome (Myrtle), Esther, Carol (Edward), Dale, and Doris (Hank); and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Jerome and Emily Jarvis, brothers Harold and Jim, and sisters Edith, Lucille, Gladys (Dolly) and Eileen.

Mom was raised in a family of 13 on a homestead in Saskatchewan and a farm at Reid Lake, B.C. Focus was on family first. She kept an immaculate home and enjoyed cooking, baking and caring for family. She was raised in a musical family and seldom sat out a dance. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were so special to her. Their pictures lit up each room in her little place. Her final days were punctuated by family, laughter and conversation. She enjoyed her life as a wife, mom, “Grans” and “G.G.”

The family would like to thank Dr. Miranda du Preez, Debra Rose, the staff at Royal Inland Hospital, and the staff at Berwick on the Park, for her exceptional care.

“We will truly miss you girlfriend”
