We Remember

ENGBERG, Harriet (nee Jackson)

February 12, 1920 — February 10, 2017

Harriet was born February 12, 1920 in Vancouver BC and passed away peacefully on February 10, 2017 surrounded by her loving family and the caring staff of Kamloops Seniors Village which had been her home for almost two years.

Harriet was many good things in a very small package. She was a wonderful wife to Roy for 67 years (predeceased in 2008); mother to her three daughters; grandma to her six grandchildren and GG to two great grandsons.

Mum was a great homemaker and so loved her garden, sewing, and knitting. She was a wonderful cook as well.

Mum was a lifetime member of Native Daughters of BC and so very proud of being a “BC Girl”. She was also a very devoted fan of the Canucks and she referred to them as “her boys”.

Dad and mum had many happy family years at Cluculz Lake in Prince George. After leaving Prince George they resided in Kelowna for 27 years, watching two of their youngest grandchildren grow up there, before moving to Kamloops. In retirement years they did much travelling together, both here and abroad and made many endearing friends in their motorhome travels.

Mum’s beautiful smile and her love for her family will be missed but never forgotten as she leaves behind her daughters Margaret (Ken) Weaver, Bev (Murray) McCurdy of Kamloops and Lynn (Len ) Vigar of Kelowna; her grandchildren Brenda (Kevin) Pattinson, Janine McCurdy, Brent (Rosanna) Weaver, Maureen McCurdy, Neal (Laura) Vigar and Cathy Vigar (Sean Hubbard); great grandsons Vann Weaver and Stirling Vigar; her sister Jean Bruno as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was sadly predeceased by her sister Beth Clare.

Our family extends heartfelt thanks and love to the caregivers who became mum’s extended family at Kamloops Seniors Village; she so loved them all. Thanks also to Dr. John Reid and Dr. Wynn for the care given to mum.

No service was mum’s wishes. Mum will be interred with dad in Kelowna at a later date.
