KATHERINE JEAN GRICE “JEANNIE” 1944 — 2023

KATHERINE JEAN GRICE “JEANNIE”

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 BURROUGHS BAKER 1939 — 2023

ALAN BURROUGHS BAKER

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 10th, 2023. He is survived by his brother Owen Baker of Salmon Arm and was predeceased by his sister Eileen Dickson.
