We Remember

CARELESS, Kathleen Ann (nee Ingram)

January 28, 1941 — December 19, 2013

Kathy passed away peacefully at the Kelowna General Hospital on December 19, 2013.  She was predeceased by her husband Ted.  Kathy will be dearly missed by her sons Scott and Kevin; her five grandchildren and her great granddaughter; her brother Ken Ingram (Heather); sisters: Joan Firkus (Ron) and Jeane Ingram and many nieces and nephews.  Kathy and Ted lived in Williams Lake for several years operating their own business before moving back to Westbank, where Kathy worked in the packinghouse.  Kathy was an avid curler and enjoyed cheering for her boys at hockey and ball games and she always enjoyed a good card game.  Kathy will be remembered for her quick sense of humour and will be dearly missed by her family and friends.  There are many stories to be told and retold of her fun nature and antics, especially at the Ingram cabin on the lake.  One never knew what was going to happen when she was around.  The family wishes to extend a thank you to the wonderful caregivers at Sun Pointe Village, Spring Valley Care Centre and the good care she received at the Kelowna General Hospital.  There will be a family memorial at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your favourite charity.  If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

    So very sorry to hear about Kathy’s passing. Have not seen her for a while but this does bring back a lot of memories of teenage years and sports in high school. Oh how I envied the way she (and Joanie) could play basketball and soccer! Love to all the family at this sad time.

    My deepest sympathy to your family, I was a pharmacy tech at Kathy’s pharmacy and delivered her medications to her on a regular basis, she was a highlight in my day and I thought of her often. She would usually have some homemade treat for me, and a kind word. Rest in peace my friend.

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.
