We Remember

WATTS, Lenise Marguerite

May 28, 1948 — June 30, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lenise “Nicee” at Kelowna Hospice. She was very brave throughout the curves that life presented to her. We are grateful that she passed peacefully without pain in her sleep. Days before she left us she had a dream that those who predeceased her; her mother Daphne, her father Leonard, and her loving brother Roger were waiting for her to join them. She will be missed by her sister-in law Sandra, her nephew Roger (Elizabeth), her niece Robyn (Mike), their mother Sandra (Gib), four great nieces and nephews: Alex, Madeleine, Taylor and Max, her cousin Penny in England, and by the wonderful ladies who provided so much love and care over her journey: Monica, Sharon, Shirley, Paige, Tracey, Amanda and Kim. Born in Lodi, California Lenise lived in many places throughout her life. She often reminisced about her childhood days growing up in Africa. She moved to Kelowna in 1998 and worked with her brother Roger in his law practice. Nicee loved her cats, movies, books, watching and playing golf, her garden, betting on horses, and was a big fan of the Kelowna Rockets. She will be remembered for her endless loyalty. Friends are invited to join the family in a celebration of Lenise’s life at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road in Kelowna at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 17, 2013.  In
lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Kelowna SPCA, 3785 Casorso
Road, Kelowna, BC V1W 4M7.   If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

    I was shocked and dismayed when I heard the news of Lenise’s passing. I had known her since 1973 when we worked together at the Burnaby RCMP and renewed our friendship when I returned there about 1994 – in fact she recommended me to her supervisor position when she and her mom moved to Kelowna. Even though we didn’t regularly keep in touch, when we did communicate, it was as if no time had passed. I will miss having her in this world. My condolences to all who knew and loved her. She was always sunny and funny and had a great laugh.

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.
