WEIERS, Frieda

— November 16, 2018

Frieda peacefully went to her eternal home on Friday, November 16, 2018 at the age of 93.  She is survived by her daughters: Sharon Smood (Larry) of Port Alberni, BC, Elaine Kennedy of Scottsdale, AZ, Daphne Harris (Sean) of Parksville, BC and Beverley McGurk (Ted) of Vancouver, BC; sons Gordon (Lora) of Edmonton, AB and John of Kelowna, BC; grandchildren Manuela, Richard, Melinda, Tanya, Yvonne, Jeremy, Nicholas, Suzanne, Shannon, Austin and Carly, thirteen great grandchildren and her sister Kay Michel.  She is predeceased by her loving husband Leonard, her eldest son Allan, two brothers John and Robert, second husband Joseph Lischka and son-in-law Craig McCuaig.

Frieda was born to John and Emma Bogner in St. Gregor, SK. She was proud to be a twin to her brother John. It was in St. Gregor that she met her husband Leonard; they married Oct 15, 1946 and moved to Muenster, SK where they raised seven children.

She was a devoted and loving wife and mother and an active board member of the Catholic Women’s League.  In 1978 Frieda and Leonard retired to Kelowna, BC.  Frieda was very involved in bowling, cribbage, scrabble and loved gardening. Frieda and Leonard celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1996 surrounded by family and friends.

After Leonard’s death in 2000, Frieda continued her community involvement at Sunrise Village.  She moved to Calgary, AB in 2005 to live with her daughter Daphne and family.  On December 13, 2006 Frieda married family friend Joseph Lischka and they enjoyed 12 happy years together in Kelowna, BC.

Frieda will be deeply missed by her loving family.

    So sorry to hear of Aunt Frieda’s passing, she was a wonderful lady, she spoke about her children so often and was very proud of them. I am so glad that she blessed my Uncle Joe’s life for 12 years. When he came to Saskatchewan without Aunt Frieda he was lost without her.. She was also so special to my Mom Ann Fleck.. God Bless her.

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.
