We Remember

KENNEDY, Lois Petunia

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

 

It is with great sadness that the family of Lois Kennedy, announces her passing on August 24, 2018. She went peacefully to be with the Lord at the age of 80 at the Hospice House in Kelowna after a courageous battle with cancer.

Lois was born to parents Wasyl and Vera Petriew in Radisson, Saskatchewan, on July 17, 1938.

She is survived by her three children, Marva (Kai) Kennedy of Kelowna, Wayne Kennedy of Montreal, and Brian (Renata) Kennedy of Kelowna; her grandchildren Caitlyn, Ashton, and Kesenya; and her sister Eunice (Henry) Suderman of Saskatoon.

Lois was predeceased by her husband Raymond Kennedy (2015), and brother George Petriew (2016).

Lois grew up on the family farm north of Radisson, Saskatchewan. She met Ray while attending a Bible study in North Battleford, and they were married on October 6, 1962 in Radisson. Lois graduated as a registered nurse (RN) from St. Paul’s School of Nursing in Saskatoon in 1960. She worked as a nurse, as a homemaker raising three children, and as a missionary’s wife at several remote locations across northern Canada. Lois later continued employment as an RN at various locations in BC and Saskatchewan. She often spoke of the many good memories she had while employed at the Saskatoon Veterans Home.

Her friends and family will remember Lois for her selfless love, kind spirit, generosity and gratitude towards others. She enjoyed many hobbies: playing piano and organ, singing, knitting sweaters and afghans, quilting, crocheting, doing needlework, and making preserves, not to mention her fantastic Ukrainian cooking and baking. Her fresh-baked pies were always a huge favourite. Lois was often consulted for her practical advice and wisdom. She will be dearly missed.

A funeral service will be held at 1:30 pm on Sunday, September 2, 2018 at the Dalmeny Funeral Home in Dalmeny, Saskatchewan. Following the service, the interment will take place at the Redberry Cemetery. An invitation is extended to friends of Lois Kennedy and her family to an informal reception at the Dalmeny Seniors Center (230 Ross Ave) starting at 5pm.

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.
