We Remember

Ursulan, Joyce

March 19, 1931 — June 5, 2011

URSULAN – Joyce Rose was born March 19, 1931 and passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on June 5, 2011.  Mom was born in Leross, SK on March 19, 1931.  Went to school to be a teacher.  Taught at Mission Lake School south of Quinton SK.  Met Steve and became a farmer’s wife 1952, they moved to Yorkton in 1960 with three children and number four on the way.  Mom was a very caring and generous person.  She went to work as a store clerk, so that her brood could do many activities in school and out.  Mom was the best cheerleader at baseball games, hockey games, all our school activities and helped us with all our school work.  Encouraging us to do our best in whatever we did.  Mom was also involved with the church and always helped out when she could.  When dad and mom decided to retire in Kelowna, it was very difficult to leave all her good friends.  Mom was very excited to have her grandchildren come to visit.  She was always doing something to keep them amused and busy learning different things about the great big world through a childs eye.  She instilled the values of life, and the respect for others by living her life for others.  When family or friends came to visit, you had to stay for at least one meal, and the meals were always great.  Her faith was strong when she was a young woman and grew stronger and stronger as her life went on.  When she became ill her faith in Jesus carried her to this very special day of triumph.  She is now where she deserves to be, free of all her bodily pain.  She has started a new life, of the spirit.  Joyce passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on June 5, 2011.  Survived by her loving husband of 60 years Steve, four children Darcy, Gary (Colleen), Karen (Vern) Scott and Garnet, five grandchildren Jamie, Tyler, Dylan (Danielle), Quinton and Stefen, and one great granddaughter Aislinn.  Memorial Service will be held on Friday, June 10, 2011 at 1:00 pm at Holy Spirit Church, 1260 Neptune Road.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made either to Diabetes or Cancer Care in Joyce’s memory.

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.
