We Remember

BURANT, Courtney Farrah

December 4, 1976 — April 19, 2024

With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to Courtney Burant, at the age of 47, she passed away at the Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna, BC, on April 19, 2024. She was surrounded by her family and love.

Courtney, a true hockey aficionado and an unwavering supporter of her home town team, the Edmonton Oilers. From her earliest days, Courtney attended and watched countless games by her dad’s side, and later she passed on the tradition to her son, Josh, sharing the game’s spirit in the same way. But, the Oilers weren’t her only obsession. With her unparalleled enthusiasm, she was a true fan girl of the Backstreet Boys. She traversed both the USA and Canada in pursuit of her beloved Backstreet Boys, leaving a trail of ticket stubs and cherished memories wherever she roamed.

Whether it was the joy of Christmas that she celebrated year-round with festive music; the delights of shopping; or comforting moments in the kitchen where she whipped up delectable treats, like her famous peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, Courtney brought warmth and joy to those she shared these moments with. Probably because whatever she was doing, it was who she was with that really mattered to her. Her love for her family knew no bounds, as she poured her heart into being a devoted mother and a treasured big sister, always cherishing the time spent with her family. She had plenty of love to share, it spilled beyond her family; she truly loved spending time with her co-workers and her wonderful friends. In fact, her love spilled even beyond people; her home was a haven of greenery, reflecting her love for flowers and plants, a symbol of her nurturing spirit.

In Courtney’s passing, we mourn the loss of a dear friend, a loving mother, and a dear member of our community. May her memory continue to inspire us, just as her presence brightened our lives.

Courtney is survived by her children, Joshua Brown and Carter Vasko; her parents, Maureen & Douglas Burant; and her siblings, Travis Burant and Kyleigh Burant. She will also be missed by Jeani & Gavin Brown, who were a second family to her; and by her partner, Cole Vasko. She is also survived by Ken Burant; Randy & Carol; Sandra & Larry; Gail & Howie; Terry & Rod; as well as by Lois & Wayne; Colleen; Heather & Nick; Faye & Mike; Brad & Sheryl; Lynne. She was predeceased by her grandparents, Ambrose & Rose Burant, and Robert & Elaine Brogden; as well as by her uncle Donny Powell, aunt Debra Coleman, uncle Greg Brogden, and step-aunt Linda Burant; her great-uncle, Lenord Burant; and Debra Chute, her mother-in-law.

    My first memory of Courtney was of a petite very blond toddler who asked me if I wanted a drink of water. I asked her if she wanted a drink of water. Yes, she said. Courtney was a beautiful little toddler and quite shy.❤️

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.
