Anne was born on December 20, 1929 on her family farm in Fork River, MB. She moved to Kamloops in 1949 where she met Tony Kuz. They were married on October 28, 1950 and raised two children, Ron (1952) and Judy (1954).

She was a lifetime member of The Ukrainian Catholic Church. She especially enjoyed her time spent at the numerous work-bees with her friends of the Ladies League as they prepared perogies, etc. for upcoming events. She loved her flowers and garden, with her roses being her pride and joy. Another favourite pastime was playing cards, with many games of crib being played over the decades.

The family would like to extend a thank you to the nurses and staff at Overlander Extended Care (Evergreen) for their care, kindness and compassion given to Anne over the years.

Lillian grew up in the small community of Manigotagan, which is situated on the Manigotagan River in Manitoba. She is of the Peguis First Nation. She grew up in a family of 15 that included her parents John and Elizabeth and 5 sisters (Betty, Bernice, Mildred Thelma and Nettie) and 7 brothers (Howard, Larry, Roland, Alden, Lester, Vernon, and Irvin) which provided a hell of a lot of boisterous fun. This life lead her to being a woman who was the envy of the dance floor and a mama that was able to provide a never ending supply of homemade bannock and barley soup.

Come and Celebrate her Life with us on:

Norman was born in Waldeck Saskatchewan where he lived with his family, including 8 siblings, before moving to Penticton in 1943. He passed away peacefully at the age of 91 at his home in Kamloops.

Norman started working for CP Railway in 1944, later holding jobs in Revelstoke and Kamloops, retiring in 1983.  He formed lifelong friendships with his workmates. After retiring, he continued to actively participate in yearly gatherings. He also served as president of the CP Pensioners Kamloops Chapter for 17 years until the day of his passing.

His upbringing on a farm in Saskatchewan was reflected in his love of gardening and the outdoors. Norman had many interests and special talents for fixing everything from clocks to cars. He loved his home, his garden and particularly his workshop where he regularly gathered with his many friends, neighbours and family, always greeting everyone with a cheerful disposition, an afternoon beer, conversation and endless stories.Read More & Leave Condolences »
