We Remember

MAURER, Thelma

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

Thelma Maurer, 92, of Kelowna, passed away suddenly but peacefully on July 22.

Born in Langley, BC in 1922 to Nellie and Sam Maurer, Thelma spent many happy years in Vancouver. She was a cosmetics consultant at The Bay on Granville for over 30 years. She never married, but was a dear friend to many, a constant support to her mom and dad, and a lifelong companion to beloved late sister Edna and husband John, with whom she shared a duplex in Kelowna for 25 years. Thelma was also a much-loved aunt and great aunt to Heather, Alicia, Julia and Jacques, who will miss her.

Thelma loved to laugh, travelled widely, and welcomed friends and neighbours of all ages into her home and her heart, with cookies and a pot of Red Rose tea. She was generous and kind, and a great listener.

The family extends warm thanks to the thoughtful and professional staff at Joseph Benjamin Residence who made her feel safe and so well cared for in her final years.

The family will greet Thelma’s friends at a tea reception in her honour, to be held Tuesday, August 5th, from 2 to 4 pm at Unit 30 – 625 Boynton Place, Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Thelma’s favourite charity, the Make-a-Wish Foundation of BC and Yukon.

    Heather and family;

    I’m so sorry for your loss of your Aunt. I’m not sure if you will remember me, I lived next door to your Mom, Dad and Thelma in the late 80’s in the green duplex. Thelma and Edna adopted by kids (Shaylee and Ian) as surrogate grandkids from the beginning and we stayed in touch for many years after we moved. I have such wonderful memories of all of them. Thelma had Shaylee over for tea almost every day when we lived there and we shared Christmas’s, birthdays, easters and other holidays by dropping by for tea and some of your Mom’s wonderful baking. I still have the apron and oven mitts Edna made for Shaylee when she was little. Shaylee has a book of recipes she gave her. Every Christmas when I put the ornaments on my tree I have the honour of having some from both of them and remembering them when I put them up. They were two great ladies who I will never forget. I’m so sorry I didn’t see Thelma in the last couple of years but I do have lots of pictures to remember her by. I will be out of town for the tea, but wish I could be there.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
