We Remember

Chapman, Gladys May (Hap)

July 8, 1921 — June 14, 2013

It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our Mum.

Mum is survived by 3 children Ken (Adrienne) of Armstrong, Ian (Gwen) of Kelowna and Sheilagh (Norm) Jackson of Winfield;seven grandchildren, Sarah (Victor) Fellegi of Cochrane, Alberta, Jeremy (Sabrina) Chapman of Kelowna, Kimberly (Jason) Page of Durham N.

Mum was predeceased by her husband Eric of 64 years in 2007 and her step-brother Herbert Farris in 1991.

Mum was born and raised in Okanagan Mission and lived her entire life in Kelowna. Active in her Parish of St. Andrews Anglican Church, she belonged to the ACW, the Altar Guild and in the Choir for many years. She loved to paint and was a founding member of the Kelowna Pallette Club and Watercolour Guild.

Mum was blessed with a cheerful disposition, a ready smile and a kind word to anyone. We were fortunate to have her as a Mum.

A celebration of Gladys’ life will be held on Thursday, June 27 2013 at 2:00 pm at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church 4619 Lakeshore Road, Reverend Canon Katherine Hall officiating. Mum will be interred beside Eric in St. Andrew’s cemetery. Reception will follow in the church Hall.

The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Missionwood, her caregivers from We Care, especially Olga Markwart and the Parish family of St. Andrew’s.

    On behalf of the Kelowna Pallette Club I would like to extend our sympathy to the family. Gladys was a founding member of our club and without her contributions over the years our club would not have grown. We admired her talent, her friendship, and leadership. Once again please accept our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

    Sincerely, Carol Ursel

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.
