Predeceased by brothers Wes and Frank Burton, sister Connie Funk, Gordon Stinson (our father), Emil Schweitzer, our step-father and grandson Darcy Lewis, Kamloops, BC, also a niece and 4 nephews.
Mum had a very interesting life. Born and raised in Big Woody (Swan River, Manitoba area). Raised us in the Terherne, Manitoba area on the farm. Sang to us, a great story teller (her own), worked on the farm in all areas, sewed our clothes from her own patterns, became a successful Avon representative and introduced all to moisture creams etc. in the 1950’s. Took the hairdressing course and was in demand.
Later moved to Kamloops, married, travelled to Europe and the USA. Very witty, made you laugh. Loved curling, reading, inventing etc. She had a political point of view.
Last years enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, crocheting dishcloths, game shows, casino, 65 cent Rummy with family. Everything our mum did, she chose.
Mum will be remembered for her kind and gentle ways also playing Solitaire until she passed. Many happy memories. Mum will be missed deeply. We love you Mum.
Thank you to all the staff at Gemstone, Kamloops also to all the staff at Heron Grove, Vernon for their wonderful care.
No Service by request.
