We Remember

CARTER, James William

October 13, 1940 — March 31, 2017

Jim was born in Provost, Alberta on October 13, 1940. He passed away peacefully on March 31, 2017.  Jim is predeceased by his parents, Glee and Doug Carter, and his sister Marsha.  He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Shirley; daughter Stacey (Todd) Sinclair and granddaughter Shanaya; and son Darrin (Lisa) Carter and grandson Zack.  He will also be affectionately remembered by his sister MaryLynn Schneider and her husband Dennis; sisters-in-law Bernice Thomson and Louise Schmidt; numerous nieces and nephews; and his dog Coco who loved him with all her heart…and he loved her to the moon and back.

Among his passions were the Saskatchewan Roughriders, frying bacon shirtless, and a great glass of wine. Jim will be missed dearly by his family, but will always be remembered for his ability to see the best in others, his positive attitude and infectious laugh.  No service will be held, as per Jim’s wishes.  A Celebration of Life will be held in the summer for family and friends.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9 (www.heartandstroke.ca/get-involved).

    Shirley, Darrin, Stacey, Shanaya and Coco,

    I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jim. He was everything a husband, father and grandfather should be and much more. He exuded kindness from his every pore. He was by far the nicest and most genuine man I will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I shared very special moments over the years with him that I will cherish forever. He will be greatly missed.

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.
