We Remember

SPRAGGETT, Audrey Ann

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

Passed away on Saturday, March 25, 2017 at the age of 86. Audrey is lovingly remembered by her daughter Deborah (Jim) Freeman. She is sadly predeceased by her husband Doug and her two other children, Ann (Lou) and Daniel. She will always be remembered by her grandchildren, Leah, Christopher, Tony, James, Stephen, Lola, David, Jennifer and Bryan.
Audrey Murdoch was born in 1930 to a proud Scottish family. She lost her mother, Ann, at a very young age, and grew up in the care of her father, William. As such, Audrey developed a great deal of personal strength and was a creative, hard-working, resourceful and feisty young woman – qualities she carried with her throughout her life.
When Audrey married Doug Spraggett in 1948, they chose to make their home in Toronto and raised their family there. They chose Kelowna, BC as their home in retirement, and spent many happy years in the community with Ann and Deborah’s families close by.
Audrey was an intelligent and curious woman, never afraid to take a stand politically, or to speak her mind. She was a talented artist. Her embroidery and sewing skills were remarkable, and she was a great cook. Her tourtière pie was a cornerstone of family gatherings at Christmastime. Audrey was a devoted pen-pal to her grandchildren (and great-grandchildren) who did not live nearby. She will always be remembered for being a fighter. She survived a number of unimaginable losses in her life, yet she always managed to keep going.

Her family would like to thank Dr. Carver for her many years of dedicated care, and all the kind and compassionate staff of Hospice House. Your efforts made Audrey’s final days comfortable and we so appreciate the special work you do.
There will be no memorial service held, as per Audrey’s wishes, however, donations in her name will be welcomed at Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2Z6.

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.
