We Remember
CLARKE, Jennifer “Trudy” Stanbridge
April 2, 1949 — June 22, 2021
Jennifer Clarke passed away on June 22, 2021, at Kelowna, BC. She was born April 2, 1949, in Kelowna to Arthur and Winifred Clarke. After a very successful sales career in Vancouver BC, she returned to Kelowna for her retirement, and she built her dream home in West Kelowna, BC, with a million dollar view of Okanagan Lake. Sadly, after a tragic, life-changing car accident in 2010, Jennifer lost her sight and developed other health issues that unfortunately shortened her life.
Jennifer was predeceased by her parents and her infant son Greggory. A loving and caring mother she is survived by her son Tyler Fortin of Coquitlam; her sisters, Janet Skubiak, Rona (Dave) Hamilton, and brother Bruce Clarke all of Kelowna; and numerous nephews and their families.
The family would like to express our appreciation for the support of her many in-home care aids, staff at Pine Acres, West Kelowna, and Mountainview Village (Kelowna) for making her final years as comfortable as possible. A special thank-you to her good friend Anita Kilmartin for the support and love she gave Jennifer in her final days.
In lieu of a service, due to COVID-19, the family suggests a donation to the CNIB, www.cnib.ca, in memory of Jennifer.

Alannah ( Suzan) and I are very sorry to hear that Trudy has passed. We remember spending many school days with her at Dr. Knox. She was fashionable and fun besides being very smart. Our condolences go out to all the family. Sharon Clarke (nee Pike).
So sorry to hear of Jennifer’s passing. We enjoyed
Working for her.
I am very sorry for your loss and wish your family strength during this difficult time.
