MONTPETIT, Germaine – Service Info Update

—

May 1939 – August 2023

A Mass of Christian Burial, with Father Sebastian Puthenpura presiding, will be held on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2023, at 2:00 PM (PDT), at OUR LADY OUR LOURDES CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2547 Hebert Rd, West Kelowna, BC. If you are unable to attend in person, please join the family online by Livestream at the time of the service (see below the obituary), a recording will be made available to view shortly thereafter. Interment will take place at the church, after the service.

On a beautiful evening in August 2023, Germaine Montpetit was welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven. Germaine will be lovingly remembered by her adoring husband of 67 years, Roger; her ever-grateful children, Harvey (Donna), Delores (Ken), Donald (Stacey), and Joanne (Gordon, who predeceased her). She was the proud and loving Memere, to her 17 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She was loved and admired by her three sisters, seven brothers, numerous brothers/sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews.

Germaine was a deeply spiritual woman who shared God’s love with others.  She had an unwavering faith in God as a young child, and her faith grew stronger throughout her entire lifetime.

Mom inspired many people through her optimistic perspective of life and death, as she eagerly looked forward to the joys of heaven. We will all miss her earthly presence in our lives. As a beloved child of God, we find joy in knowing that she is now at peace.

Prior to the cancer diagnosis, 10 weeks before her passing, Germaine enjoyed swimming three times a week, playing bridge, cooking and baking for her family, playing the piano, dancing, reading book after book as, well as visiting with her family and friends. Throughout her 84 years, she saw beauty all around her. Her flower beds were meticulously designed and cared for, gifting anyone who visited with a huge assortment of gorgeous and unusual flowers.

Germaine’s entire family would like to thank the Brookhaven Care Home for their tireless help, support, understanding, prayers, and love during her final days. We will never forget all that you’ve done.

“And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ” Ephesians 4:32

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Brookhaven Care Center or The Society of St. Vincent De Paul.

    Germaine was a smart, hard working and pragmatic person. She rolled with the punches of life.. She learned at an early age to take her responsibilities seriously and was strong in her convictions. Enjoy the afterlife. We will miss you. Maurice & Dalene.

    It is so difficult saying goodbye to our loved ones.
    Tante Germaine had a calm confidence that I always admired. She was so well read & knowledgeable. She was a classy lady with a fine fashion sense. She will be missed.

    Dear Roger, Harvey, Delores, Donald, Joanne and families,
    Our sincere condolences on your loss. Germaine was the oldest of 11 children in our family. She forged the way for the rest of us and assisted mom in many ways including caring for us younger siblings, not the easiest task at times, but for which I am truly grateful. She was an excellent cook, welcoming and hosting family functions, offering plenty of tasty home-made dishes. Germaine spoke lovingly and proudly of all of you, and as the obituary expresses she will be fondly and lovingly remembered.
    We are thinking of Germaine and you at this time and sending much love.
    Alphonse & Judy

    Germaine was amazing woman of deep faith and love. I got to know through her daughter and my great friend, Delores. She has left a legacy of beautiful children, grandchildren and great grand children that truly value and cherish their heritage, family traditions and connection to God. May all the memories lived with her bring healing to your hearts as you grieve her parting. May you also find peace knowing that she is now enjoying her eternal life with Jesus. Love Chris and Julia

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.
