Catherine was born on April 4th, 1938 in Busby, Scotland and who passed away in Kamloops, BC on March 20th, 2023 at the age of 84. The world is a wee bit darker today as our lovely mum has passed on. She grew up in Scotland and worked and lived on both coasts of Canada after arriving in Montreal, Quebec at the age of 19 when she sailed across the sea from the UK.

She was wife/friend to William Fletcher Main and mother to Steve Main (Daughter-In-Law: Bonnie), Jeff Main (Daughter-In-Law; Liz) & Andrea Main (Son-In-Law: Richard).

She touched the lives of many in a very generous, kind and thoughtful way. Mum will be remembered for her quirky, fun and humourous personality and delight in whimsy.

She will be sadly missed by all but like she used to say/quote “shed no sad tears for me, my darling’, so we will celebrate her wonderful life in our hearts and minds for years to come.

Love you mum xo Andrea, Jeff & Steve

February 20, 1933 – February 24, 2023

Eliese was born to John J. and Maria (D) Neufeld while they lived in Saskatchewan during the so called “Hungry Thirties”

In 1935, the family of five girls moved to Manitoba. She attended elementary school in Minto. Her early school years were marked by near sightedness, as well as sentiment against German speaking Canadians during WW2.

She accepted Jesus as her savior during those difficult years.

The death of her mother prompted the family to move out to B.C. in 1944

Eliese completed grade 12 at the M.E.I and then graduated as Psychiatric Nurse at the Valleyview Hospital for Seniors.

Her desire to know God’s word led her to study at Winkler Bible School at M.B.B. College in Winnipeg.

Eliese returned to Psych nursing at Riverview and met Steve Kaposzta there. They married January 16, 1969. Her husband’s interest in outdoor adventuring resulted in moves to Prince George, Kitimat, Terrace, and lastly, to Kamloops.

Meanwhile, Eliese became a telephone operator, motel and hotel secretary, amateur ham radio operator and a nurse again at Tranquil Nursing Home and other care homes in Kamloops. Her husband’s death and battle with cancer developed a deep trust in God as her Rock and Refuge.

We came to celebrate her 90^th birthday on February 20, 2023. She fell that morning and as a result, she spent four quiet days at the beautiful Kamloops Hospice with her sisters by her side.

She was predeceased by her husband Steve, her sisters Annie, Helen, Kay, and niece Mary Ann. Mourning the loss of our dear sister are: Mary Dyck, Charlotte and George Funk, Lydia and Craig Green and her brother John Neufeld, her nieces, nephews, and friends.

Thank you for your condolences.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Royal Inland Hospital.
