We Remember

NEWTON, Dennis Ross

March 30, 1943 — June 18, 2018

Longtime Kelowna resident and devoted family man Dennis Newton passed away on June 18, 2018 at the age of 75. Dennis leaves to mourn his wife of 52 years Barbara (nee Bohn); daughter Susan; son David (Jodi); granddaughters Madi, Alli and Brooke and grand dog Zoe. Dennis is also survived by his siblings Gloria (Jack) Johal of Kelowna, Allan (Carol) of Cochrane, Brian (Elaine) of Victoria; sister-in-law Sandra of West Kelowna and their families. Sadly, Dennis was predeceased by his brother Arden in 2017.

Dennis was born in Regina, Saskatchewan to David and Jean Newton, the 1st of their 5 children. He was a hard-working man, with a 41-year career at the local sawmill, having been employed there from age 16 until his early retirement at the age of 58. During his retirement, Dennis enjoyed working for Budget Cars, spending time with his granddaughters and grand dog, going for walks and drinking coffee at Tim’s with his friends. He also loved fly fishing and animals of all kind. Those who knew Dennis will remember him as never being short of stories: his favorite topics were growing up in Kelowna, his granddaughters, grand dog Zoe and his job at Budget. Dennis was a fighter and he fought until the end.

We wish to thank all our family and friends for your support during Dennis’ final illness.

In respect for Dennis’ wishes, no service will be held.

A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer.

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.
