DePLONTY, Vahdah Kathryn

August 25, 1926 — November 18, 2017

Vahdah Kathryn DePlonty went to be with the Lord on November 18, 2017 at the age of 91. She is survived by her loving family: daughters: Colleen J Dyson (Barry Clark) of Kelowna, BC, Shirley DePlonty of Vernon, BC, Genevieve of Kelowna, BC; sons: Gordon (Theresa) of Chilliwack, BC, D’Arcy (Sandy) of Vernon, BC, Tim (Genie) of Lake Country, BC; 10 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; brother Gary Stump of Keremeos, BC; many nieces, nephews and huge extended family including special sister-in-law Doreen Stump of Oliver, BC. She was predeceased by her husband Bill DePlonty in 1979 and son Stanley in 1990. Born August 25, 1926 at Craik, SK, the second youngest child born to Jesse Stump and Myrtle Tighe. As a small child, the family moved to Turtle Lake, then on to Peachland, BC when she was nine. She attended the Peachland School, walking 7 miles to and from each day. She had many stories about the resident bear in the orchard and the cougar hiding near the wood pile as she passed by. She finished school as the war was ending and managed to stay in touch with many of her school friends through life. After working at the cannery in Kelowna, she met and married Bill DePlonty and raised seven children. Her new life started in 1980 after losing Bill in 1979. She discovered pattern dancing with her new friends at the Senior Centre, attending many events with them over the years. She will be missed by family, friend David, special friend Ramona and staff at Sun Pointe. A Graveside Service will be held at a later date.

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.
