Donna Louise Tucker, age 79, passed peacefully with her family surrounding her, on October 13, 2023 following a short illness. She was predeceased by her husband Fran in 2007. Donna is survived by her children Barbara, Connie and D’Eric (Julie), her grandchildren Jevon, Cassandra, Jenessa, Alexis and Kaylen (and their significant others), and two great grandsons Kade and Elias.

Mom was born in Saskatchewan and was the middle child of 5. She often regaled us with stories of her younger years. Mom talked fondly of her time spent at Aunt Florence’s, tinkering on the truck with her dad, carrying water to the house with her mom, her first job as a Nanny to the local Doctor’s family, and the weekend dances that her parents played at. She met Fran in her early teens, and they married in 1961. Their life together was full of adventures! Dad would often start the new venture, and mom would then end up running the show. From raising us kids, to running the ranch, birthing the calves, feeding the hundreds of cattle, and caring for the Emus. It was not uncommon to see mom walking in from the field with the calf pullers over her shoulder. Her nurturing nature touched all of us. Her gardens flourished, and she took pride in her lawns. She would often bow out of excursions with the excuse of “I need to cut the lawn”. She obsessed about having her hair done, and was always put together when she left the house. Our childhood was full of love, home baked treats, Taster’s Choice coffee, and conversations around the dining table. Our home was always open to all family and friends. The coffee was on and hours were spent chatting. She was full of advice to any that asked, and also to those that didn’t. Her loyalty and love for those closest to her was endless and her family was her pride and joy. She enjoyed having the grandchildren stay over the summer and filled their time with horses, swimming, sand piles and sewing.

Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a few years ago and had lost parts of herself. Fortunately for us, she kept her sassy wit right to the very end. She would often say, “I’ve lived a good life”, which is a wonderful testament to a life well lived.

She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Mom will be laid to rest with Fran at the Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops, BC.

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.
