It is with profound sorrow that we announce the recent passing of our mother, Maria del Consuelo Bermudez Carreri, on October 7, 2022, at the age of 66.
She was born July 28, 1956, in the small town of Comitan, Chiapas, Mexico. She was so eager to begin her life that when the midwife arrived at the family house, she was already in our grandmother’s arms. She grew up in a very loving family that encouraged her adventurous spirit, eventually finding her way to Canada, where she married and had two children. As life would have it, she returned to Mexico and raised us on her own. As years passed, our mom followed us back to Canada, where she would spend the rest of her life, close to her daughter and grandchildren.
Our mom loved playing sports, traveling, and enjoying a nice meal with family and friends. She would always look forward to her next pickleball game, hiking throughout the Okanagan, and trying exciting things like skydiving. Most of all, she was a very generous and loving woman that always remained full of life.
She began facing her battle with lung cancer at 55, but she fought bravely and beat the odds, surviving and loving life for eleven years. During this time, she never gave up hope and was fortunate to have enjoyed the little things in life with her family and to have seen her children marry and her grandchildren come to this world. She spent her last days surrounded by us and passed away in peace knowing that we loved her, we will always remember her, and we will be okay.
She is survived by her children, Jocelyn (Carlos) and Enrique (Danielle), and her grandchildren: Sean, Emma, William, and her soon to come grandchild.
A ceremony will be held at 3:00pm on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at the Community Baptist Church (4911 Silverstar Road, Vernon).
With all our love,
Jocelyn and Enrique
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Maria del Consuelo Bermudez Carreri October 7th 2022..
