Jeannie passed away peacefully on April 5, 2023, with her family by her side after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was predeceased by her husband Milton, her younger sister Maureen, and her sister-in-law Mugsy.

Jeannie leaves to mourn her son Tom (Michelle) and three grandchildren, Carter, Paige, and McKenna.  She will also be greatly missed by her brother Garry (Myrna), niece Lisa (Ray), brother-in-law Don, nephew David (Alyssa), niece Katherine, great-niece Olivia, great-nephews Theo and Thomas, brother-in-law Ray, the Gilroy Sunday Night Dinner Crew, her best friend Sue, and many other special family members and friends.

Jeannie loved to curl, play golf, and spend time with her grandchildren.  She always looked forward to their annual summer trip to Idabel Lake where countless memories were made.

Jeannie had a great love for her family, a zest for life, and a spunky adventurous spirit which led to some wonderful memories in her final year.  A bucket list trip to Whistler, BC last summer where she “conquered” the Eagle Zipline, and a fun-filled road trip with her best friend Sue where they visited Drumheller and her childhood hometown of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.

Special thanks to her beautiful Theresa, and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their compassionate care.

As per her wishes, there will not be a service.

If desired, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in her memory.  A truly beautiful place.

We will miss you Gran.  Hope you are having a dance party in Heaven.

Alan was born on August 12, 1939, the middle child of three, to Jack and Esther Baker of Aklavik, N.W.T. When he was a baby, the family moved to Watson Lake, Y.T., where his father became manager of the airstrip in 1941. Because of the War, and possible invasion from Japan, mother and children moved to BC, settling into Crescent Beach. When Alan was six, it became evident that he was afflicted with severe autism and couldn’t attend school, so he was cared for by his mother until her death in 1955. The next 29 years he lived in institutional facilities at New Westminster and Kamloops. In 1984, he was placed in a home in Kamloops. He enjoyed travelling, hockey games, and bowling. Shortly before Easter, Alan fell ill and passed into glory peacefully in his sleep on April 10^th, 2023. He is survived by his brother Owen Baker of Salmon Arm and was predeceased by his sister Eileen Dickson.

 Beloved father, friend and husband, George Kasch passed away at the age of 56 in Kamloops BC.  George was a kind and thoughtful soul and will be missed and remembered by the many lives he touched.  Always near and forever in our hearts.

George was born in Ontario, Canada.  He was one of six children born to his mother Ruth Anne Huckle.  Anne’s common-law husband, Peter Kasch adopted George as an adult, changing George’s name to Kasch.  George fondly reminisced about his life as a young boy raised by his Grandparents at their farm.   George excelled at woodworking and making beautiful cabinets.

George forever grieved the loss of his young son born of his first common law wife, who died in his crib at age of 6 months, while George was at work.  George with his 2^nd common-law wife of over 22 years, Brenda moved to Kamloops where they loved living in the hills North of the City. George took on jobs where he could work with his hands, building, fixing, ripping apart, and putting back together again.  George was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back.

George is predeceased by his wife, BRENDA LYNN WILSON nee KOBELKA who passed away peacefully on May 10, 2020 in Kamloops.  George always kept in touch with Brenda’s parents in Ontario.  Brenda’s children who were close to George fondly referred to him as “Poppa George.”  George is survived by his mother.

George will be laid to rest at 1:00pm on Thursday, April 20, 2023 in the Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame Dr., Kamloops.

“May God give to you his comfort, light, and peace and the blessing of God be upon you, and remain with you this day and for ever. Amen.”

George is reunited with his beloved Brenda as “Spirits in the Sky.”  “Give them eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on them forever.”

Barbara Ann Garrett, of Kamloops BC, passed away on April 4, 2023 just short of her 72nd birthday. She was born in Great Falls, Montana to Shirley and Bill Knight – the oldest of their 10 children. The family moved to Fort St. John in 1962 where the family started a farm and then moved to Kamloops in 1967 where she went to Kam High and spent the rest of her adult life. She was married to Eric and devoted those early years to raising her four children, supporting and managing multiple businesses that they ran, and running a small hobby farm both at their home on Pratt Road and then Campbell Creek in Barnhartvale. Once her children had grown, she worked in insurance and in real estate. She was an active member of Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church and volunteered with 4H, Toastmasters, the Pregnancy Care Centre and served her community. She enjoyed many activities in her younger years and was determined as she faced the challenges of life with Multiple Sclerosis. We are grateful to the staff and residents of The Hamlets for their care of mom over these past years. Barb is survived by her four children and their partners: Edi Torrans (Jeff), Cameron Garrett (Sara), Jordon Garrett (Jennifer) and Ben Garrett (Dioselys). She had nine grandchildren including Justin, Joe, Kaiden, Harper, Reid, Iver, Alejandro, Linnea, Juliette and one more expected in June 2023. She is also survived by her sisters, brothers, and many extended family members that will miss her dearly.

The Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday at 11:00 am on Saturday April 29, 2023 at Summit Drive Baptist Church, 1975 Summit Dr. Kamloops, BC.
