We Remember

BENOIT, Elizabeth Marie (Betty)

—

Betty passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, October 14, 2015 at the age of 97. She was predeceased by Clair, her husband of 49 years.  Born and raised in Winnipeg, they married in 1943 and began their wonderful adventure of raising 5 children.  It was in the early 1990’s that they moved to the sunny Okanagan.  Betty was a homemaker, a bookkeeper and a lifelong volunteer.  Through the years, she was highly admired for her leadership and organizational strengths. Her family was the constant focus and joy of her life.  Grandma’s memory will be cherished by her 5 children, 16 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.  Always with us will be the gift of her laughter, her strength of character and generous spirit.  A memorial mass will be held at St. Charles Garnier Church on Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 10:30 am. Reception to follow.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Center of the Southern Interior www.bccancer.bc.ca. .

    Edie and family. I will remember your mom forever, her character and laughter. She touched my heart and took a tiny piece with her. Thank-you for letting us look after her for all these years. And thank-you for being the best daughter and always being there for her. She loved her family. And I got to be her Mommy some mornings. Always your friend, Loni

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.
