We Remember

BOSTOCK, Dawn Marie

—

With broken hearts we are letting everyone know of the passing of Dawn Marie Bostock on November 22, 2015 after an extremely courageous and difficult battle with cancer. Born in Calgary, Alberta on October 20, 1964, Dawn lived her childhood and youth making many life-long friends along the way. At the age of 17 she met the love of her life, Bruce, on Gyro Beach the summer after graduating from high school. They began a life together filled with laughter and love.

 

Dawn is survived by her loving husband Bruce and amazing children Jeffrey and Rachel, her devoted mother Peggy Forbes, her sister Lana Evans and her nephew Noah. She was predeceased by her father Gib Forbes. She is also survived by her mother-in-law Ann Bostock, brothers and sisters-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews.

 

Dawn possessed a magnetic fun loving personality. She had a great sense of humour and was thoughtful and generous, with a stubborn streak. She made an impact on everyone she met and has more friends in this world than she probably ever knew about. She had stellar work integrity and loved and valued her job and those she worked with immensely. Dawn was most happy on the beaches (and shopping) in beloved Maui with friends and family. She will be forever and always missed.

 

There will be a celebration of Dawn’s life on Monday, November 30th at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

    Sorry to hear of Dawns passing. I have thought of you both the past few months and what a fight she was going through. Bruce – you were an absolutely amazing partner during tough times. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that she is finally free from pain and worry.

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.
