We Remember

GABOR, Magdolna “Magdi”

—

Passed away April 21, 2012 at her home in Brandt’s Creek Mews in Kelowna, BC at the age of 72.  She was a loving mother of Theodore and Anita; grandmother to her adored grandchildren: Lisa Marie, Matthew and Karlie.  “Grandma, we will miss you and hold you in our hearts; along with the many memories we shared.”

Born August 31, 1939 in Sepsiszentgyorgy (St. George) Romania, Magdi immigrated to Canada in 1961.  She enjoyed a career of over 26 years with the Kelowna Home Support Society and the Interior Health Authority.  Magdi touched the lives of many clients she loved so dearly.  Our family extends much appreciation for the level of loving care she herself received during the past four years.

Magdi found great joy in the presence of her grandchildren, days in the park being a part of nature, swimming and walks.  Magdi loved animals and they knew and loved her in return.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Saturday, April 28th at 2:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home Family Centre, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to either of the two causes that were dear to her heart:  The Multiple Sclerosis Society, 230-1855 Kirschner Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 4N7 or The Kelowna SPCA, 3785 Casorso Road, Kelowna, BC V1W 4M7.

“You’ve left us with your laughter in the wind and your presence in our hearts.”

    To Magdi’s family: I had the pleasure of meeting her many years ago because she provided home support to both of my grandparents. They truly loved her. She was so kind and caring. She gave my Grandma perms regularly, which I don’t think was in her job description but she knew how much my Grandma appreciated it, and how it made her feel good about herself. She provided my parents with piece of mind knowing that she was looking out for them and giving them the care that is very hard for untrained family members to give. She referred to my Grandpa as “Popsy”! I really don’t think there are too many Magdi’s out there in the health care field! She really was a gem. With Sympathy, The Conway family

    Magdi truly was a gem and quite a character! My daughter and I met her during our visits to David Lloyd Jones with our standard poodle Therapy Dog, Lydia. Magdi just beamed when Lydia came to visit. She truly loved animals, and would accompany all of us up and down the hallways, to pet Lydia, and talk about her day. We enjoyed her stories. She will be missed by many.
    Our condolences, Patti and Emma

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.
