We Remember

HAMILTON, Shirley Lynn

—

Shirley Lynn Krazanowski was born in Vancouver, BC on May 13, 1952; the last child of ten, she and her siblings faced many challenges through childhood and adolescence. Lynn married in 1971 and started a new and better life.  She had two children Kevin and Tabitha.  She loved animals and always had several cats and a dog or two.  Lynn loved her Great Danes and had many throughout her life.

Lynn loved taking care of the home, gardening and being with her family. She worked hard on the family farm in Aldergrove creating fond memories of rounding up cows running free, battling angry roosters and collecting swarms of bees. After moving to Cranbrook, Lynn purchased a horse and loved riding it whenever she could as horses were special to her.  Upon moving to Kelowna in 1986, she ran a part time home cleaning business until she was diagnosed with ALS in 2009.  She fought hard and bravely until finally succumbing to the disease.  Lynn passed peacefully at home with family by her side on June 16, 2016.

Lynn is survived by her husband David, her children Kevin and Tabitha, grandchildren Avery, Ethan, Kerris, Angus and Brigette, and her special sister Evelyn. She would be most appreciative if you donated in her memory to the ALS Society of BC, www.alsbc.ca.

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.
