MUIR, Roberta Ann (nee Shaw)

—

“Bert” Passed away peacefully on January 10, 2019 at the age of 72 with her family at her side after a short illness. She is survived by her son Melvin (Martina) Muir, daughter Barbara (Terry) Hein, grandchildren Jordan and Nathan (Celeste) Hein, sisters Diane (Eric), June, Darlene (Larry), Ruby (Iain). Roberta was pre-deceased by her husband Stuart in February 2018, parents Eli & Gladys and her sister Dorothy.

Roberta was born in Medicine Hat, AB, the second eldest of 5 sisters. She moved to Leduc, AB where she met and married her true love Stuart and had 2 children. In 1972 the family moved to Whitehorse, Yukon where she enjoyed working, camping, fishing, travelling to Alaska & spending time at their cabin at Marsh Lake. In 1981, they relocated to Kelowna, BC, where she worked as a sales associate for Naturalizer Shoes & Bi-way then later managing Subway Restaurants until she retired. Co-owning with family, 3 DCT Chambers Trucks and Your Dollar Store With More in Grand Forks, BC kept her busy & happy. Roberta loved spending time with her family, friends, her dog Mocha-Bean and spending winters in Arizona. On most days you would find her cooking, gardening, working on a puzzle or scrapbooking.  Roberta took pride in making sure you always had a full drink in your hand and never left hungry!

Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Missed.

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.
