BEVERLEY JEAN ALDER (NEÉ BURNS) 1943 — 2026

BEVERLEY JEAN ALDER (NEÉ BURNS)

March 4, 1943 – May 25, 2026

Beverley wrote her own obituary in February, 2026.

Bev was picked out of an orphanage at 7 months old by an older sister, Audrey. Two years later, a baby sister joined the family.
She was placed in a God fearing home on a farm in Southern Alberta. That was the grounds for her making a personal commitment in 1961.
This resulted in many privileges thru the years, lots of special times with her three girls, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was married in 1962
and celebrated 63 years of marriage with Delbert.

Family and friends are invited to attend a viewing on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., followed by the Funeral Service at 10:00 a.m. in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Following the service, Beverley will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame.

For those unable to attend in person, the service will be live streamed online at https://www.ipcamlive.com/5f98c1fdc1e47 using PIN: 2520.

With hearts full of gratitude and sorrow, we announce the passing of our precious momma, Sharon Luella Gurney (nee MacIlroy) who passed away surrounded by her loving family on May 20,2026 following a brief illness.

Sharon was a devoted daughter, niece, sister, aunt and wife to the late William (Bill) of 60 years; a guiding mother and mother-in-law to Lisa, Janis (Jay) and Steven (Michelle); a proud grandmother and great-grandmother; and a generous friend to many.

Our leader, our organizer, our role model, our inspiration. We are lost without you momma and there are no words that can ever express how much we love, appreciate and miss you.

A private family ceremony will follow.

CHANCE ALDOFF 1988 — 2026

CHANCE ALDOFF
Chance Aldoff passed away on May 3, 2026, doing the one thing that made him feel most free — riding his father’s Harley. He was a devoted father to his daughter, Adalynn, who was the center of his whole world, and a loving stepfather to both Aubrey and Avery. He remained grateful for the bond they shared.
Chance leaves behind a legacy of strength, unwavering faith, and unconditional love for those closest to him. Even through life’s hardest moments, he never backed down and always put the people he cared about first. Those who knew him will remember his courage and the loyalty he showed to the people he loved.Family and friends remember Chance as a man who always had their back and never failed to be there when they needed him most. His fearlessness and sense of humour ripple through the memories of those who now mourn his loss.

He is survived by his daughter, Adalynn; his mother, Penny; his brother, Elijah; Elijah’s wife, Thea; their children Monty and Wiley; and all those who were fortunate enough to know him.

He will be missed beyond words and remembered always.
