Jean Eleanor McEwan 1928 — 2021

Jean Eleanor McEwan

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean McEwan in Kamloops, BC at the age of 93 on March 22,

2021.

Jean was predeceased by her husband Jack McEwan and her daughter Laurie McEwan. Jean is survived by her

sisters Betty Vernon and Dorothy Reedman and their families, son Bill (Dolly) McEwan, and grandchildren Dean

(Carmen) Schiavon, Jacqui Tourand, and Jasmine McEwan. A loving mother, grandmother, and friend, Jean found

happiness in having friends and family over for coffee, lunches, and dinners. She loved baking and making sure her

grandchildren were fed. She often made an “extra” pie at holidays, so everyone got to take home leftovers.

She also loved to spoil her dog and made sure to go for her weekly hair appointment, rain or shine. She loved playing

solitaire and crosswords, but also enjoyed playing dice with her grandchildren. Her garden was her pride and joy, as

was the giant maple tree in the front yard.

Jean was loved very much by her family and friends and will be dearly missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks to kindly make a donation to the Kamloops BC SPCA.

Louise Tina Gagnon ( Neufeld ) 1939 — 2021

Louise Tina Gagnon ( Neufeld )

Feb 28, 1939 –  March 31, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce our Mothers passing on March 31 2021.

Left to mourn is her loving husband of the last 10 years, Bob Radmacker and her 3 children Cheryl ( Dennis ), Brenda and Darren ( Vanda ).

She was blessed with 8 siblings and had a large extended family and friends.

Mom was born and raised in Meadow Lake Saskatchewan  where she met and married our Father Larry Gagnon. They moved to B.C. where they raised their family and made many loving lifelong friends .

Mom enjoyed camping,  snowmobiling , gardening, canning and especially social gatherings.

In later years she met and married Bob and dusted off her suitcases, together they traveled to many tropical destinations. They loved their RV and were able to enjoy many scenic getaways.

Mom was a fierce protector of her family . She taught us the value of commitment, loyalty and hard work.

Mom wore her emotion’s on her sleeve. “The  look “ in her beautiful blue eyes would definfinly get our attention. We will always remember her advice of, “Never leave it till Tomorrow “ and “Save for a rainy day!“

Mom was very nostalgic especially over the holidays, Christmas was always magical. She was the ” hostess with the mostest” and the red carpet welcomed all.

Mom was a warrior with her battle with cancer and a fighter to the end. Her legacy will live on with the many lives that she touched. Her beautiful  smile that lit up a room will be remembered always.

You are loved and missed beyond words, forever in our hearts. Until we meet again, we will look for you in the stars above.
