We Remember

ANDERLIC, Alojzija “Louise”

May 25, 1935 — August 1, 2024

Alojzija Anderlic (née Dolmovic) died peacefully on August 1, 2024, surrounded by family at Kelowna General Hospital.

Alojzija was born in Sajevce, Kostanjvica, Slovenia (formerly Yugoslavia) on May 25, 1935. She was married by proxy on June 19, 1960 to Alojs Anderlic, who had already immigrated to Canada. Alojzija then immigrated to Canada where she and Alojs were married in the Catholic Church, and started their lives together in Regina. They had 3 children, Lucy, John and David. In 1971 the family moved to Kelowna where they had built a home in the Rutland area.

Alojzija loved to entertain, cook and bake wonderful Slovenian treats, and kept a large garden that helped feed a growing family, as well as producing beautiful flowers. She was an accomplished seamstress and volunteered at the Rutland Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop for over 20 years. She was also an active part of the Kelowna Slovenian community for many years.

Her Catholic faith was a constant throughout her life, and it gave her great comfort, especially while she was struggling in her last months. She prayed the Our Father frequently when she was ill, and said it brought her peace.

Alojzija is survived by her husband Alojs; daughter Lucy (Don) Turri, and son John (Jackie); grandson Daniel, and step-grandchildren Samantha (Carrie), Luke (Summer), Mary, Cole, Erica, and Nicholas. She was predeceased by her son David.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff and residents of Sun Pointe Village for their kindness and care. Also, the staff at KGH 5B, the Cottonwoods Short Stay Unit, and KGH Emergency, who provided great comfort to our Mother in her last days.

Prayers for Alojzija will be held on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 7:00 pm and a Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at 10:00 am followed by a luncheon, all at Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, 750 Rutland Road N, Kelowna BC.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the KGH Foundation.

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.
