MALEY, Norvin James

May 14, 1936 — March 3, 2017

Norvin James Maley, 80, passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 3, 2017 in his home at Lakeview Lodge in West Kelowna, BC.  Survived by daughters: Margo Maley of Fort St. James, BC, Linda Maley of Merritt, BC; sons:  Blayne (Betty) Maley of Mission, BC, Kyle (Karen Lee) Maley of Kelowna, BC; grandchildren: Jacqi, Jamie, David Maley, Daryl, Riley and Dylan Sheehan; great grandchildren: Hayden Julian; sister Marilyn Tenold; brothers: Lloyd and Carl Maley; Ellie Maley; step-daughters and family: Debbi Wik (daughter Candace Lapp and son Aaron Wik); Wendy and Chris Mitchell (daughters Kelsey, Brittany and Trina Miles), Sheri and Rick Furdal (sons Taylor and Mason), Angela Vavra (friend) and family.  Predeceased by his parents Bill and Naomi Maley; sister-in-law Adele Maley, Shelly Maley (daughter-in-law) and his in-law parents.  Norvin was born on May 14, 1936 in Estevan, Saskatchewan to Bill and Naomi Maley. At an early age, he loved the independence of being his own boss, which led him into truck driving. He became an owner/operator of excavating equipment, manager of the Husky Station in Estevan and eventually his own truck. His love of driving drew him into being a well-trophied stock and super modified stock race car driver in the North Dakota state races and the Estevan Motor Racing arena from 1958 to 1970. Norvin enjoyed going deer hunting, fishing, boating, skiing, bowling, golfing, camping and in retirement years taking frequent motorhome trips south. A celebration of life gathering will be held at 2:00 pm, Friday, March 10, 2017 at the Springfield Funeral Home. 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5V8. Family members will be officiating.  Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the SPCA – where Norvin adopted his treasured dog companions – Keno and Jack.

    Blayne and family – I am so sorry to hear about your father, but if he was anything like you, Blayne, then he obviously was a very caring man. My prayers are with you.

    We have many fond memories of the fun times we spent together on Okanogan Lake and the many times we hit the golf course. RIP Norv – meet you at the 19th hole one day.

    Always enjoyed seeing Norv drive into the Mill yard with his spic and span Pick up or his Dump Truck, and great us with a big smile.

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.
