We Remember

MCALPINE, Caren Patricia

December 4, 1963 — August 15, 2017

Born on December, 4, 1963 and passed away on August 15, 2017 at the age of 53. Caren is survived by her loving husband David Lloyd McAlpine; sons Tyler, Dayton and Dustin; granddaughter Meegan; mother Lori Moorman; sisters Susan and Cindy; and brothers Kevin, Colin, Mike, Blake, Keith, and Gary.  She is predeceased by her father Charles Moorman and sister Debbie.

Caren was a mother figure to many people and will be greatly missed.

She was happily married and a loving mother to 3 boys, loving grandmother to one granddaughter and a friend to so many. She loved music, travelling, shopping and spending time with her family.  Family was the most important thing in her life, and she was the person who had everyone come together through family dinners and get togethers.  She was always there for anyone she cared about, whether helping financially, physically, or emotionally, you knew she would be there giving 110% because she truly loved to help others.

She lived her life dedicating it to her family and her long time career as the manager and accountant at the West Side Husky. She was caring and loving, and always there to help or aide anyone who needed it.  Caren was a beautiful person inside and out, and had a smile that would light up the room.  You could always rely on her for advice and insightful guidance, as she was a natural role model that made a positive impact on so many lives.  It saddens us deeply to say good bye to such a truly genuine person much too early.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, www.diabetes.ca.

    So sad to hear of Caren’s death. Our hearts grieve along with friends and family. There is comfort and hope in what Revelation 21:4 says “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Also John 5:28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;” What a happy time that will be when death will be replaced with resurrections and Caren will live again. Although these thoughts do not take away the grief at present; may Gods Word be a source of comfort for you and your family.

    When I seen her a short time ago she was busy but still had time to stop and have a few words with me before I left the Husky. We certainly have lost a kind, gentle and loving soul in Caren, “adios-amigo”. We will miss your presence. Thank you for always being there.

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.
