We Remember

Carroll, Harriet Eilene, nee Houghton

—

On October 15,2012, at the age of 93, Harriet passed peacefully with family at her side.  She has gone on her final journey to be with her late husband Les.  She is survived by daughter Faye Fraser (John) of Calgary AB; two sons Cameron Carroll (Beverly) of Kelowna, BC, Rick Carroll (Liane) of Calgary, AB; four Grandchildren, Heather Danson, Jillian Ortega (Virgilio), Jeff Carroll (Tamara) and Lauren Carroll; four great grandchildren, Lucas and Sofia Ortega, Jaxson and LoganCarroll.

Harriet was born In Elbow, SK and spent all her young years on the family farm.  She was predeceased by two brothers, William and Ralph Houghton and three sisters: Marion, Florence and Dorothy.  She was very much loved by many nieces, nephews and special cousins Garry and Deanie Miniellly.

Harriet and Les were married in 1943.  Harriet followed Les to many Canadian Air Force postings across Canada and also four years in Washington D.C.  She was a devoted mother and grandmother to all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  She loved curling and golf.  Many happy memories revolved around fun camping trips with children and grandchildren.  Evenings of cards with family was one of her favourite past times.

The family would like to give special thanks to Ed Funk, a very supportive and special caring friend, who added greatly to her life’s enjoyment while at the Dorchester and to the many people in her life.  Also to Dr. W. Wickstrom for her professional and kind care over many years.  The Dorchester assisted living facility, for providing her with five happy years.  Her last, somewhat difficult months, were spent at Mountain View Village – their care and concern for Harriet and family was exceptional.  Don and Michaela Brayton, friends who passed many hours playing cards with her and giving her special love.  A Celebration of Harriet’s Life will be held on Friday, October 19, 2012 at 4:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Good Samaritan Canada – Mountainview Village, 3070 Burtch Road, Kelowna, BC V1W 5G2.

    Thinking of you all at this sad time. Mark and I so enjoyed having Les and Harriet for neighbours way back when. Les always made the most delicious muffins and Harriet was quick to offer a cup of tea or coffee. We are saddened to hear of her passing and want you to know you are all in our thoughts.
    Love and Hugs,
    Mary and Mary Smith

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.
