We Remember

DOUILLARD, Katherine Madeline “Kaye” (nee Schneider)

September 1, 1921 — November 1, 2015

Surrounded by the love of her family, Kaye went home to be with her Lord on November 1st. Kaye was born in Allan, Sask. to Jacob and Martha Schneider, where she lived until moving to Kelowna with her family in 1931. She worked in the cannery, as a maid and other odd jobs, until she met her future husband, Leo. Kaye and Leo were married on July 1, 1941 in Kelowna. They eventually formed Douillard Construction, where she was active in the company until retiring but her most important job of all was raising her 7 children. Mom will be greatly missed by her loving children Ron (Deb), Dave (Jan), Brian (Wendy), Carol (Bob), Debbie (Howard), Richard (Joan), Kevin (Connie) and her many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Mom was predeceased by Leo, her loving husband of 69 years, her brother Nick, sisters Marie, Elizabeth, Anna and Maggie. She is survived by her brother Joe (Kay) Schneider. Kaye loved to host, whether it be incredible meals around the table or a rip roaring party for family and friends. Mom’s many other pastimes included square dancing, curling, knitting, she especially loved fishing and traveling with family and friends. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel towards the caring staff at Sutherland Hills. We will forever appreciate their thoughtful gestures given towards all the family. Prayers will be held at Springfield Funeral Home on Springfield Road at 7 pm on Nov. 20th.  Mom’s Celebration of Life will be held at St. Charles Garnier Church on Benvoulin Road at 10:30 am on Nov. 21st. In lieu of flowers, donations to the St. Vincent de Paul Society would be appreciated by the family.

“Mom, you are always with us,

Your beautiful face,

Unconditional love,

A smile that lit up a room,

You were the most priceless of all treasures.

One last battle you could not win,

All too soon we were out of time.

Our heart broke into a million pieces,

But great memories we will always keep,

As your bright smile shines down from heaven.”

We love you Mom xoxo

    On behalf of the St. Yves family, I want to express our sincere condolences at Aunty Kay’s passing. Personally, I have fond memories of conversations with Uncle Leo over the years. He was a good man for whom I held great respect. I knew Aunty Kay less but she was hospitable and kind. Deep peace to each family member -Suzanne, Viviane and Lou’s daughter

    Dear Douillard family, I am thinking of you at this time of loss and grief. So many great memories of your mother/ grandmother and all those gatherings at the “big house”. She welcomed us all ! Sorry that I cannot be there to attend the memorial service. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Anna Marie and family

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.
