We Remember

BROOKE, Mildred (nee Brown, McBride)

August 25, 1920 — January 26, 2013

Mildred passed away peacefully in the Kelowna General Hospital on January 26, 2013 after a brief illness. She is survived by her children: Jim (Diane), Allan (Julie), Jerry (Linda) and Donna McBride McKay and numerous grandchildren: Denise, Russell, Scott, Daylene, Debbie, Robert, Andrew, Jenny, Melissa, Jeffrey and Kayla and step grandchildren as well as numerous great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, her 1st husband, Lloyd and her second husband Charlie Brooke, her daughter Rita Randall, and her son Raymond McBride, her grandchildren, Ryan and Michael. She was also predeceased by her brothers: Howard, Bob, Stan, Morris, and Bud. She is survived by her sisters Marj and Vivian and her brother Eldon. Mildred was born in Raymond, Alta and grew up on her father’s farm.  She left there when she went east to work in a munitions factory during World War II. After the war she moved to Calgary and married her 1st husband Lloyd McBride. Lloyd was in construction and moved around quite regularly. Mildred moved with him and raised the family until they finally settled in Kamloops.  She lived for her children, giving them all of her energy. After Lloyd died in 1976, she raised Donna the youngest and the only one still left at home. After Donna moved out, Mildred took up bowling as a recreation. It was there that she met her second husband, Charlie Brooke and moved to Chase, B.C. They had 20 great years together. Several years ago Mildred and Charlie moved to Missionwood in Kelowna, where she resided until her passing.   Mildred loved reading, bowling, gardening and cooking, but most of all, she loved her children. A service to celebrate Mildred’s life will be held at Springfield Funeral Home at 2020 Springfield Road in Kelowna on February 9th at 1:00 pm.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Salvation Army.

    I can still remembering visiting Aunt Mil, and Charlie, out in Chase, home of the best corn on the cob in the World! Charlie took me and Dad out for a round of golf, thinking that he beat us… Then we went and seen the salmon spawning, great memories. Was quite a few years ago.

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.
