We Remember

OISHI, Mieko

February 27, 1929 — August 8, 2018

It is with our deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mieko on August 8, 2018 surrounded by her family.  She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 63 years, Kenji and her sons: Robert (Elayne), Doug (Marge) and Larry (Lori); she will be forever missed by her grandchildren: Colin (Jennifer), Melissa (Claus), Troy, Rylee, Kobe; her great granddaughter Evelyn; her brothers John (Judy), Frank (Kiku), Ernest (Dale); sister Eileen (Bert); brother-in-law Toe; sister-in-law Grace and many nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her parents, granddaughter Teegan, sister Tasco and brothers Eddie and Sus (Alice).  Mieko was born and raised in Kelowna growing up in a farming family and continuing that tradition with Ken and their boys.  Ken and Mieko were loved throughout the community and, if you spent any time with them, whether it was buying vegetables, helping out at a church function or running into them at the grocery store, they would always put a smile on your face.  We are all so proud and grateful for our wonderful parents and their boys are such a reflection of them both.  Mom has left a huge imprint on our hearts and will be loved and missed forever.  Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, 2268 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 1T2.

    On behalf of Toly and I, and my mother Phyllis Rostad we would like to express our sincere condolences to the Oishi family. Mieko and Ken were close friends of Phyllis (and Ross) since they moved to Kelowna in 1985, and Toly and I got to know them well in our visits to Kelowna and then when we moved here. Our thoughts and prayers to Ken, and all of the Oishi family.

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.
