We Remember

AMOS, Claudia

April 1, 1939 — August 30, 2018

Claudia Amos passed away peacefully at her home in Kelowna on August 30, 2018. Born alongside her twin sister Carolyn in a small farmhouse in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia on April 1, 1939, weighing 1.5 and two-pounds.  The doctor said she wouldn’t live, boy was he wrong.

Pre-deceased by her parents Chestly and Mary Teed, siblings Greta, Louis, James, Alex, Eileen, Howard, and her twin Carolyn, Claudia leaves behind her children Jeff (Kathleen) Amos, Carolyn Amos and grandchildren Zoe and Sam Carlyle and Evan Amos.  Also mourning her loss are her “bonus” daughter/best friend Susan Abel-Lapointe and her “bonus” granddaughter Sydney/little dumpling Lewis, and, of course, Finnegan her treasured fur-baby.

Prior to moving to Kelowna, Claudia spent many years in Edmonton raising her children. Always the entrepreneur, she kept her passions alive through a driving range, a curling shop, and a clothing store. A master story and joke teller, Claudia constantly kept people laughing. Known for her love of fashion and all things fabulous, especially leather and pearls.

Claudia lived a life full of friends, family, and fun. She loved many things including: golf; bridge; martinis; dinner parties; puppies; off-side jokes; dancing; curling; entertaining; country music; and, most of all, her family and friends.

The family thanks Stella, Sidney, Bonnie, Lynda, Ghislaine, Shirley, Cheryl, Dorothy, Ellen and all the “Bridge Girls”. These marvelous women were Claudia’s dearly loved and treasured friends who were there for Claudia over the years through thick and thin, laughter, and tears.

As per Claudia’s request there will be no funeral service. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In the meantime, Claudia would love to know you were kicking back, pouring a glass of wine, listening to some Willy Nelson, and remembering the good times.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the SPCA.

    My deepest sympathy to Claudia’s immediate family, Caroline, Jeff & Kathleen along with her precious grandchildren. I personally know how much Claudia’s Bonus daughter/best friend, Susan & Bonus Little Dumpling grand daughter Sydney, will deeply miss her too. Sharing great memories of our loved ones when they pass is a wonderful celebration of their life on earth & keeps them close in our hearts. I have memories of Claudia that will always make me smile.

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.
