We Remember

SCOTT Margaret Laverne (Arrell)

—

Margaret Laverne (nee Arrell) Scott passed away on 27 Feb 2016 at Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia. Margaret was born 8 Aug 1943 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, third daughter of Vernon and Evelyn (Martin) Arrell. In 1962 she married Donald Charles Christie and during this time as a military spouse she lived in France, Germany, Edmonton and Cold Lake. In 1993 she met Gordon Scott and they were married in Cold Lake, Alberta on 20 May 2000. On their retirement, Margaret and Gordon moved to Kelowna, BC to enjoy the warmer weather.
Marg was a loving and caring person. She loved to spend time with her family and friends. Her daily routine was going for coffee at Timmy’s, watching the birds fight at the bird feeder in the backyard, watching hockey and playing games on the computer. She would spend hours picking her hockey players for her hockey pool where her main goal was to have more points than her son. During the winter months she also would work on her cross stitching.
She spent her Saturday nights going for dinner and cards at her daughter and son in law’s place where she loved to win more games than the “boys.” Her spunky attitude and her sharp wit will be sadly missed and will always be remembered in our hearts.
Margaret was predeceased by her father Vernon 1993, mother Evelyn 2003, infant sister Helen 1948, sister Joyce Gouthro 1991, husband Donald Christie 1991, son Robert Dwayne Christie 2001, nephews Timothy Gouthro 1965, Calvin Unrau 2003; sisters-in-law Betty Winter 1985, Doreen Janke 2011; and brothers-in-law Otto Janke 1995 and Lawrence Metrunec 2000.
She is survived by her loving husband Gordon Wesley Scott, son Keith (Val) Christie of Cold Lake, Alta; daughter Jodi-Lynn (Curtis) Vanasse of Kelowna, British Columbia; daughter-in-law Corinne Christie of Calgary, Alberta; sister Beverly (Richard) Unrau and brother-in-law Ellis (June) Gouthro of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; stepsons Michael (Geraldine) Scott of Black Foot, Alberta and Brian (Jeana) Scott of Calgary, Wesley Scott of Vancouver, BC; stepdaughters Angela Scott, Victoria, B.C. and Shelley (James) Macgregor of Port McNeill, BC; sisters-in-law Diane Metrunec of Bonnyville, Alberta; Sandra (Dennis) Cameron and Barbara (Donald) Anderson of Elk Point, Alberta; 17 grandchildren; 3 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews too numerous to name. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 22nd, 2016 at 10:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Inurnment will be held at a later date in Ferguson Flats cemetery, Lindbergh, Alberta. Donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

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.
