We Remember

BYER, Beryl Irene

December 19, 1928 — July 3, 2021

Born in Dauphin, MB on December 19, 1928, Beryl passed away peacefully in Kelowna, BC on July 3, 2021, with many of her family at her side.

Predeceased by her first husband Wilbert Edwards, second husband Cecil Byer and siblings Donald, Thelma, Russell, Lorna, Gladys, Wilma, Phyllis, Maxine, Josephine and grandson Brad, Beryl is survived by her children and extended family: Carol Nielsen (Bent) of Vancouver BC, Dan Edwards (Bonnie) of Coldstream, BC, Jane Baehr (Brian) of Kelowna, BC, Janet Hertz (Kevin) of Kelowna, BC, Kim Byer of Lake Country, BC, Marlene Hendriks (John) of Oliver, BC, Michael Edwards (Leanne) of Cochrane, AB, Robert Byer (Shannon) of Oliver, BC, Shirley Petrie (Scott) of Rock Creek, BC, Wendie Radies (Wayne) of Vernon, BC, and Willard Edwards (Ethna) of Hannah, AB; by her grandchildren: Sheri, Tyler, Janine, Jeff, Jennifer, Karli, Jesse, Carol Anne, Brenda, Justin, Shane, Luwanda, Denise, Gordon, Sydney, Drew, Kendra, Brooklynn, Candace, Christopher and Amber; and by her greatgrandchildren: Benjamin, Emma, Gezina, Abigail, Kiera, Ellie, Preston, Garret, Claire, Kaylee, Dylan, Taylor, Nichlas, Lincoln, Addison, Nash, Tyler, Evan, Hannah, Maja, Jacob, Sisilie, Cas, Halen, Rory, Zoe, Mya, Seth and Kastor.

Beryl met and married Wilbert and started a family before moving to Osoyoos, BC in 1958.  Wilbert died in 1964. She married Cecil in 1966 and moved to Oliver expanding their blended family that eventually reached 11 in number. Cecil passed away in December 2000. She moved to Kelowna in 2011, where she was closer to Janet, Jane, and Wendie, and very much enjoyed living at Lakeshore Place meeting many new friends.

A strong woman who was kind, caring and generous, Beryl will be remembered fondly by her family and all who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held later in the summer.

Donations in her memory can be made to the Kelowna Gospel Mission.

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.
