September 27, 1933 – November 26, 2021
It is with heavy hearts and fondest memories that we announce the peaceful passing of our amazing mom Maxine McDougall at the age of 88. After a 4 year struggle with vascular dementia, mom is now in a happier peaceful place.
Mom had a heart of gold and was kind and generous to all.
A beloved mom and mother-in-law, adored grandmother, great-grandmother and great great-grandmother. She cherished her family, and loved family get-togethers; the bigger the better, she loved to sit back, listen to us kids talk and enjoyed watching the grands play. Her passion was her family, she would do anything for us. One of her greatest joys was keeping us in baked goods. Mom was always knitting, crocheting or sewing something for us. She would do anything for her family including going on the Malaboomer, a 50 meter high ride at Disneyland with her grandson, giving her daughter and son-in-law a bit of a fright. Mom was always up for vacation and an adventure. She loved to take cruises with her family. Her favourite cruise was the one she took with all of her daughters to Alaska in 2000.
Prior to getting sick, mom enjoyed Bingo and Crib many times a week, and was active in the Royal Purple and Women’s Institute in Clearwater and Kamloops. Active in both for about 50 years give or take a few years.
Mom lived in Clearwater from 1951 to 1986, she then moved to Kamloops.
Mom is survived by her daughters Bonnie-Lynn (Calvin) Fowler, Bernice (Eric) Miller, Brenda (Bruce) McKeown and Beverly (Bob) Isherwood, and son-in-law Brian Firbank Sr. Grandchildren: Nicolas Fowler, Brian Firbank Jr., Kimberly (Glenn) Lomond, Ryan Miller, Chelsy (Rob) Gyger, Jason (Heather) McKeown, Jay (Renee) McKeown, Greg Bendickson and Cindy (Mark) McDonald, seventeen great[1]grandchildren, and one great great-grandchild.
She is also survived by two sisters Susan (Rob) Krohn, Christine McCuaig, brothers Tom (Linda) McCuaig and Don (Heather) McCuaig.
Mom is predeceased by her husband Ewalt Kupsch and her daughter Barbara Firbank.
Mom lived her final almost 2 years in Gemstone care home, and we are so blessed for the care mom received by all staff and administration. We will forever be grateful for the staff being hands on with mom’s care and loving mom when we couldn’t during Covid lockdown. A special thank you Dr. Howie, Colleen and Lynn.
No service at this time. Celebration of life and Interment at Clearwater Cemetery at a later date.
We will always miss you Mom
