Jean Senger, passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family on November 28^th 2023.

Jean was born to Archibald James Morris and Mary Morris on June 29^th 1946 in Nottingham England.

She is survived by her husband Al Senger (separated), Children, Sharon Senger (Jamie Jones), Tim Senger (Sairung), Julie Senger (Cory Duncan), Steve Senger (Terri).

Seven Grandchildren, Jared Jones, Andrew Senger, Alyssa Senger, Mackenzie Senger, Sam Senger, Christina Senger, and Devin Sargent.

Jean was predeceased by her Father and Mother, her Daughter Christina and her Brother Paul Morris (Michelle Gallard).

She is survived by siblings, Jim (Sylvia), Richard (Leslie), Joanne Polack, Tony (Joanne Twan) and numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family.

Jean moved from Nottingham England to Ontario Canada with most of her Family in 1964. Her eldest Brother, Jim and Sister-in-law Sylvia came to Canada a year later.

Jim and Sylvia did not like their jobs in Ontario so Jim applied for a Pipefitters job at the smelter in Trail B.C.

His application was successful so Jim, Sylvia as well as Jean drove the 3900 kilometres to Trail to start their new life in B.C.

Their Father and the rest of their family soon moved to Trail as well and her Father got a job as a machinist at the Trail smelte – a united family once more.

Jean met Al in the Spring of 1966 at a Skydiving party in Trail and they married on September 17, 1966. Skydiving began the next day with Jean helping Al pack his parachute as she had already made a couple jumps in the past.

In the Spring of 1967, Al’s brother Ed got him a welding job in a sawmill town on the West Coast of Vancouver Island called Tahsis. On the long weekend of July 15, 1967 Jean and Al began their new life in Tahsis.

In December of 1967 the first of their children, Sharon was born followed by Tim and Christina. Christina passed away (crib death) shortly after her birth and Jean and Al, tired of the rain moved to Kamloops in 1971.

Jean began a long successful career working for various law firms (mainly Mair Jensen Blair) and had a reputation as being very knowledgeable and a speedy typer.

In October of 1973, Al began a 31 year career working as a welder at the Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill in Kamloops.

In 1978 Jean and Al were blessed with another daughter Julie and in 1979 their final son Steve was born.

One can imagine working a full-time job while raising 4 children which involves daycare, school, cooking etc. but she managed very well. Jean was a brilliant woman and could do many crafts, play the organ, knit, sew as well as do macrame, needle work etc.

Jean was also a voracious reader and many times would read a book in one day.

In the 1980’s Jean joined the Kamloops Golf and Country Club and soon became an excellent golfer and Club Captain. In the early 80’s she took up bowling and was very good at that as well. In the 1990’s Jean and Al belonged to the Jack Daniels Desert Rose Dancers and performed as far away as Australia. Jean was noted for her excellent rhythm, her speed in learning new steps and her amazing ability to make our colourful uniforms alongside some of our other female dancers.

The last few years have been very difficult for Jean as she had very painful health issues which involved healthcare workers and many, many hours of care from her children, their spouses and Al.

Jean was very appreciative of her care and we want to thank her doctors, family Dr Lesch and specialist Dr. Johnson as well as nurses at R.I.H, many care workers who came to her apartment and to Bedford Manor as well as the care workers at Bedford Manor.

She was starting to enjoy life again after settling into Bedford Manor and was working at getting her strength and independence back. Unfortunately it was too late but at least she no longer has that relentless, crippling pain.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Jean at Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday April 27, at 2 PM. 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops B.C. V2B 2H7

In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Gordon leaves behind a legacy of compassion, kindness, and service that will be cherished by all who knew him.

Gordon was born and lived in Kamloops, B.C., his whole life. He dedicated over two decades of his life as a social worker, tirelessly working with, listening to, and advocating for marginalized communities. His commitment to helping others and his unwavering empathy touched countless lives. Family often referred to him as “Papa G”, and his coworkers affectionately nicknamed him “Human Ativan”, reflecting his calming presence and compassionate nature.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Gordon lived life to the fullest, embracing his passions with enthusiasm and joy. Whether he was exploring the open road on his motorbike, navigating the tranquil waters while sailing, perfecting the art of sourdough bread making, or finding solace in the beauty of Adams Lake, Gordon’s zest for life was infectious.

Gordon’s greatest joy came from his family. He was a devoted husband to Debra, a cherished father to Kristin (Troy) Strand and David (Kamila) Edgeworth, and a doting grandfather to Taylor and Kolton Strand. He found immense happiness in spending time with them, nurturing their spirits with his boundless love and wisdom.

Gordon was a beloved brother to Ron (Brenda) Edgeworth, Darrell (Cheryl) Edgeworth, Mike (Roberta) Edgeworth, and Brian Edgeworth. Their bond was unbreakable, and Gordon’s presence will be deeply missed by each of them. Gordon also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, his lifelong best friend Terry, numerous friends, and colleagues.

Gordon is reunited in eternal peace with his beloved parents, Bert and Irene Edgeworth, whom he held dear in his heart. Also reunited with Gordon are his loyal companions, Norton, Joey, and Barney, his favorite dogs who provided him with unwavering companionship and comfort over the years.

Special thanks are extended to Dr. Farrin, Kamloops Hospice staff, and D’Angelo and the rest of the home care nurse team, for their exceptional care and support during Gordon’s final days.

Gordon’s spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will forever inspire us to make the world a better place, just as he did every day of his remarkable life.
