We Remember

REIMER, Helen

—

Passed away February 6, 2015 at the age of 84.  Survived by her five daughters: Shirley (Marv) Barg of Prince George, Carol (Dan) Enns of Kelowna, Pearl (Wilf) Pauls of Enderby, Jan (Don Bartell) of Sundre, AB, Cheryl (Ken) Marr of Victoria, 14 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren, brothers Ervin, Ed, Len, Arnie, Ron, and sisters Edna and Lenora.  Sadly predeceased by her husband Arthur and sister Anne.  Helen enjoyed tending her rose garden, sharing a meal with friends and travelling the world with her beloved Art.  Our mom was the most joyful when surrounded by her family.  She loved a good laugh and lived a life of gratitude. Trust in the care of her heavenly Father gave Mom peace in the present and hope for the future.  We will miss you, Mom.

    I remember your mother from the early days of our friendship, Shirley. What a delightful person she was – you will miss her profoundly.
    I am sorry for your loss – but of course, we know, it is heaven’s gain.

    Several years back, my brother Marvin & I arrived very late to stay overnight @ Art & Helen’s place in Kelowna. We were served lunch @ such a late hour. What has always stayed with me and spoke to my heart is what Mrs. Reimer said:’It’s an honor to have you here.’It felt so good! What a wonderful person & precious mother to her girls. My sincere thoughts & prayers for the family.

    John and I want to express our condolences to the family and to say how sad we are for the loss of your Mom. We have many good memories of your family. Unfortunately we are out of country and can’t join you for the memorial service to be able to honour your mother together. It is with much sadness we too will say good-bye.

    Dear Cousins,
    When someone as dear as your mom passes away, the circle of loss is huge. I’m so sorry we did not hear in time to support you personally at her memorial. Your Mom was more than an aunt to me, she was a cherished friend. Mary

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.
