LEONARD “LEN” JUNJI NAKASHIMADA 1954 — 2024

LEONARD “LEN” JUNJI NAKASHIMADA

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Len Nakashimada, who peacefully departed this life on March 3, 2024, surrounded by his cherished family – wife Melodie, daughters Stacey (Brad) and Jessica (Ash). Len leaves behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Len was a remarkable man whose presence illuminated the lives of everyone he encountered. His quick wit and infectious humor could brighten even the darkest of days, and his caring and positive attitude were a constant source of inspiration to all who knew him.

One of Len’s greatest joys in life was his passion for travel, which allowed him and Melodie to explore the world and create lasting memories. Whether embarking on an adventure to far-away destinations or simply enjoying quality time with family at home, Len’s adventurous spirit knew no bounds. Later in life, they purchased property in Arizona, which became his “happy place” and enjoyed the Snowbird life.

In addition to his love for travel, Len was an avid golfer who found solace and joy on the greens. Hours spent at the driving range perfecting his swing were a testament to his dedication and perseverance, traits that extended beyond the golf course into every aspect of his life.

Len was also known for his ‘vision’ when it came to home improvement projects. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for craftsmanship, he could often be found with a hammer in hand, tirelessly working to bring his creative visions to life.

Beyond his personal pursuits, Len was deeply committed to his career and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to helping businesses grow and thrive. His passion for excellence and unwavering dedication made him a trusted advisor and mentor to many.

During this difficult time, the family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all of Len’s friends and loved ones for their support and kindness. Your presence and comforting words have provided strength and solace during this challenging time.

A celebration of Len’s remarkable life will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at 3:00 PM at the Rivershore Golf Course. As we come together to honour and remember Len, let us cherish the memories we shared and take comfort in knowing that his spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

JESSIE ANN FLEMING (CLAPPERTON) 1923 — 2024

JESSIE ANN FLEMING (CLAPPERTON)

Sadly, we must announce that our Mom, Jessie Fleming, passed away peacefully on her 101st birthday.

Jessie was born in the Fort House on Fortune Drive in North Kamloops, the 10th of 11 children born to John Alexander Clapperton and Isabella Duncan Smith.  She grew up in the farming communities surrounding Kamloops including Barnhartvale, Campbell Range, Lac de Bois, and Westwold.  She moved into Kamloops when in her 20’s and she began working at Whiteway Laundry.

She met Elvin Fleming at a barn dance, and they were married in 1955.  Mom was very involved with her children’s interests and soon began a career as a volunteer.  She was a member of Girl Guides of Canada for 55 years, initially as a ‘Brown Owl’ and later as a member of the Trefoil Guild.  She fondly remembered many good times camping with the girls.  She also was very active with the Kamloops Highland Dancing Society and the Caledonian Society.

Later she resumed her working career at McGavins Bakery and at Thrupp Manor until she retired at the age of 70.  At that point she turned to volunteering with the Royal Inland Hospital Auxiliary, Thrift Stores, and as a volunteer shopper with the Seniors Outreach Society.  Jessie was awarded a Distinguished Service Award by the Mayor of Kamloops in 2013, of which she was very proud.

Mom loved to travel.  When her children were young, we went on numerous road trips to visit family around BC.  Later her many trips included a trip to Holland with her sisters Beatrice and Pearl; a trip to Norway with her dear friend Gladys; visits to her children as we ventured off to Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Nova Scotia; as well as many, many bus trips with Wells Gray Tours.

Jessie is survived by her three children:  Judy (Ross) Stringer, Russell Fleming, Bernice (Larry) Durand, two granddaughters: Emily and Chelsea Stringer, and many, many nieces and nephews.

Jessie led a very independent, active, social, and happy life.  She credited volunteering with keeping her healthy.  She always had a big smile for everyone.  She will be missed.

Services to be held at Kamloops Funeral Home at 11:00 am Saturday, May 11, 2024


Just think of the joy
When after all odds
She reached for a hand
And found it was God’s
