We Remember

TAYLOR, Carol Eleanor

January 1, 1970 — October 11, 2016

With great sadness, at Hospice House in Kelowna BC and surrounded by family, our dear Carol passed away on October 11, 2016 after a brief two month battle with cancer. She was predeceased by parents Tom and May Adams and brothers Al and Don Adams.  Carol is survived by her husband Paul, daughter Penny Biblow (Duane) and beloved grandchildren Milena and Hayden.  She is also survived by brothers Garnet Adams (Carol) of Peterborough ON, Murray Adams (Judy) of Whitehorse YT, and sisters Joan Gattie of Whitehorse YT, Marlene Leclerc (Dub) of Kelowna BC, Cyndi Ramsfield (Rick) of Red Deer AB and many nieces and nephews.

When Carol was 12 years old she moved from Meaford Ontario to Whitehorse Yukon with her family and just three short years ago retired to the Okanagan. Carol’s life was guided by her faith in God, love of family, sense of community service and her artistic and creative endeavours in her backyard gardens and her not so small craft room!  Her sharp wit and engaging personality allowed for many hours of laughter and years of friendship.  She will be forever loved by her family and fondly remembered by her many Yukon friends and her Westside Alliance Church family in West Kelowna.

A memorial service and celebration of Carol’s life will be held on October 20 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home in Kelowna. We wish to extend our gratitude for Carol’s care to: Central Okanagan Hospice Palliative Care home nursing staff, Dr. T. Murphy, Pain management team at Kelowna Cancer Centre and everyone at Hospice House Kelowna and the staff at Springfield Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers we would encourage you to consider donating to either Central Okanagan Hospice House or the Gideons.

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.
