JUNE CAROL JAHN 1943 — 2025

JUNE CAROL JAHN

It is with great love, gratitude, and sadness that we announce that June Carol Jahn (née Bandura) passed away, peacefully, with her son Andy by her side on April 17th, 2025, at the age of 81.

She is survived by her loving husband Carl Jahn, her sons Andy Miller (Shivonne), and Stewart Miller, along with her grandchildren Emily, Grace, and Bennett Miller. She also leaves behind blended family members including Carl Jahn Jr. (Cori), their children Jessica, Jacob & Jeremy, Chris Jahn, Derek Jahn and Britta Bieberstein (Jamie) along with their children, Jared and Ryan.

June was a deeply loving person, known for her generosity and warmth towards everyone she encountered. She was immensely grateful for her family and friends, and she truly loved being in their company. She will always be remembered for her positive outlook on life, infectious laughter, and the love she shared with those around her. June was the happiest person, always seeing the positive in life and smiling and laughing. She was someone that you wanted to be around and spend time with because you always felt better being in her presence.

June was born in Halifax, NS before moving to New Westminster, BC where she spent her childhood. As a teenager, she would spend her summers on the farm of her extended family in Mundare, AB before graduating high school in 1961. In the years following, she travelled the world spending time in Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan before returning to Canada. She moved to Kelowna, BC in 1971 and started her family a few years later. June created several amazing friendships in Kelowna that have lasted her entire life.

Moving to Kamloops in 1983 was the beginning of a new chapter for June. She was always a person of faith, and when she arrived in Kamloops, she joined the church parish at St. George’s Church, and later the Kamloops United Church, joining the choir with both churches. She also joined the Kamloops Choristers, where she spent almost 30 years singing and travelling the world to perform with this talented group. June’s presence in the choir will be deeply missed, her soprano voice was known for confidently carrying the high G, a note few could reach with such clarity and grace.

June married Carl in 1996, the beginning of the next 30 wonderful years for June and Carl. Taking part in a host of various outdoor activities, they spent many years travelling with Cindy & Ed, Caroline & Mike and many other friends in their RV throughout British Columbia. They visited family in Europe, and spent some cold Canadian winters in the southern US. When their ‘big travel’ days were behind them, June and Carl spent their summer season at Bridge Lake, and her presence will be sorely missed after almost 25 years of summering at Cottonwood Bay Resort.

We have cried many tears in her passing, just as we cried many tears of laughter with her over the years. June was always there, for everyone, in every way. We are all so fortunate to have had her in our lives. You will be forever missed by many. Thank you for being the best Mom I could have ever asked for, we love you.

A special thank you to the nursing staff at RIH on the 8th floor of the Gaglardi Tower, as well as the nurses and staff and the Margorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, May 29th, 2025 @ 2:00pm in the Mountain Room in the Campus Activity Centre at Thompson Rivers University.

September 12, 1947 – April 25, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Doug on April 25th, in his 77th year.

Doug was born in Vancouver and raised in Cloverdale until the age of 12, when his family moved to 100 Mile House. He graduated high school there, where he met Sharon. They were married on May 18th, 1968.

Doug began his career with the liquor store in 100 Mile House in 1969. In 1974, he moved to Hazelton to take on the role of Manager, and returned to Kamloops in 1977. After 35 years of dedicated service, he retired in 2003 as Area Manager.

Doug was deeply involved with the Heffley Creek Gun Club as a Cowboy Action Shooter for over 20 years—a sport he truly loved. In 2005, he proudly won the Regional Canadian Championship.

Doug and Sharon enjoyed many travels over the years, up until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Sadly, when they were finally able to travel again, Doug became ill.

Doug is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sharon; daughter Daina (Dan); granddaughters Jordan, Haley (Ethan), and Madellyn; great-granddaughter Mavie and great-grandson Dashiel; daughter Shannon; granddaughter Caitlyn; and grandson Zachary.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Susan Vlahos for her excellent care of Doug, and to the compassionate staff on the 3rd floor of Sun Rivers Age Care Home for the wonderful care he received during his short stay.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) Foundation.

As per Doug’s wishes, there will be no service.

JEAN ETHEL GLENN

Jean Ethel Glenn, 91, died Easter Good Friday April 18, 2025, in Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops B.C.  She was born on July 9, 1933, to John and Ethel Annis in Tisdale Saskatchewan.

Jean had 5 siblings, and 9 children of her own, with many grand, great grand, and great-great grandchildren.

She worked as a care giver all her life, retiring from Overlander Residential Care in 1999.  Whether they be children, elderly, or the chronically ill she cared and brought comfort to many in need, as well as their loved ones.  She leaves an indelible footprint on the lives of many.

Having grown up on a Saskatchewan farm, she was a country girl at heart.  An avid gardener, able to start a fire on a dime, she was always ready to provide a home cooked meal with a side of common-sense advice plus a drink or two.

An avid Canucks fan, she leaves behind many who cared for her.  She will be missed. Upon request, no formal funeral service is being held. She had a special relationship with her ALS patients, and as such, any donations are welcome to the ALS Society of BC.

ANNABELLE “ANNA” ETHEL MCCULLOUGH 1937 — 2025

ANNABELLE “ANNA” ETHEL MCCULLOUGH

August 18, 1937 – April 8, 2025

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Annabelle “Anna” Ethel McCullough, on April 8, 2025. She departed on the journey of a lifetime, leaving us with hearts full of gratitude for the 87 years we were privileged to share with her.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters: Karen (Tom) Nagel of Mission, BC; Regina (Kim) Black of Kamloops, BC; and Leann (Paul) Dos Santos of Niagara Falls, ON. Grandchildren: Nick (Marissa) Black, Jann (Kris) Black, Melissa (Tim) Heerebout, Katelyn (Victor) Dos Santos, and Scott (Mia) Dos Santos. Great-grandchildren: Ashton Black, Layla, Julian, and McKenzie Heerebout, and Layla Dos Santos.

She was predeceased by her parents, Norm and Sookie Scoville; brothers James, Bill, and Kevin; sisters Barbara Rozee and Patricia Galbraith; granddaughter Stacy Nagel; great-grandson Izaak Heerebout; and husband Ronald.

Mom was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, in 1937. Following graduation, she was employed with the Maritime Tel and Tel. In 1955, she married our dad, Ron. In 1973, with three daughters and a U-Haul in tow, they moved to Kamloops, BC, where they lived until retiring in 1991. Many knew her from her 18 years of work at McDonald’s. Upon retiring, they became Snowbirds, spending winters in Southern California, Arizona, and Mexico.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Howie and all the staff at Gemstone for taking such great care of Mom.

She was fortunate to have a loving and supportive family, many dear friends, and was truly blessed by God’s guidance throughout her life.
She lived happily, believing that “Another day has just begun, for death is but to greet the dawn, not the setting sun.”

When I shall come to the end of my way,
When I shall rest at the close of life’s day,
When ‘Welcome home’ I shall hear Jesus say,
O’ that will be sunrise for me. – Poole

A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops. For those unable to attend, you can watch remotely at:
