In the late hours of the first of May, with her son and daughter-in-law by her side, Nancy Alger, peacefully passed away at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. Nancy was born in Fernie, BC on February 7, 1950. She is survived by her two sons, Steve (Connie) of Kamloops and Jason (Cahrol) of Brisbane, Australia. Nancy was also very proud of her grandchildren Faith and Max.  Nancy was predeceased by her husband Terry, her parents Margaret & Harold Nyquist, and granddaughter Hope.

Nancy was completely devoted to Terry, the love of her life. She loved travelling and camping with him. She was entirely committed to making his life as comfortable as possible.  She was a voracious reader of romance novels and keen player of online poker. The lottery corporation may notice a decrease in profits with Nancy’s passing as she dearly loved ‘her scratchies’.

Nancy worked for many years at Kipp Mallory Pharmacy, she enjoyed her relationships with her colleagues and customers there very much. For the past 5 years Nancy has lived in Campbell River, she returned to Kamloops in April to be near family during her illness.

The family is grateful to the staff of the Chartwell Kamloops for the warm welcome they gave her and the excellent care they provided. We are also very thankful to Dr. Rod McLaren and the amazing staff of the hospice home for the compassionate care they provided to Nancy and to us.

A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held Wednesday, May 6 at 2pm at the Kamloops Funeral Home, with Pastor Larry Boss officiating.

Memorial donations to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home would be most welcome
