We Remember

GLOVER, Isabel

—

In loving memory of Isabel Glover, we are saddened to announce her passing on April 12, 2022, at age 76.

Isabel was born February 19, 1946, in Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia and passed away peacefully in Kelowna, BC with her children, Morag and Margaret, son-in-law Terry, and grandson Jude, by her side.

In 1967, Isabel married Neville Glover in Great Britain, where they lived for seven years before moving back to Nova Scotia. Isabel began her career at Maritime Medical Care, where she progressed from the mailroom to the computer programming department, retiring after more than two decades with the company. Many of her closest friendships were made along the way.

Isabel moved to Kelowna in 2002 where she created a whole new beginning for herself and made a huge impact on the many friends she made.  She spent countless hours volunteering for the South Okanagan Child ID Clinic and the Royal Canadian Legion, Kelowna branch. When she wasn’t travelling or volunteering, she could often be found on the golf course.

Isabel was a no-nonsense, fair but loving mother to her two daughters, although she rarely gave herself the credit she deserved for the mom that she was. She was a beloved Nannie to her grandson, Jude, sharing a special connection and many adventures together.

Isabel is survived by her daughters, Morag Glover and Margaret Glover-Campbell (Terry); grandson Jude; siblings Lyall Kaulbach (Shirley), Avis Fox (George), Margi Cameron, Lena Cameron (Ronnie), and Dawn Martell (Glen); stepdaughters Clare Hiltz and Michelle Cormack (Stewart); many step-grandkids, cousins, nieces, and nephews; and last but not least, her many friends.

The family would like to thank the BC Cancer Centre – Kelowna, Dr. D. Hoegler, Dr. B. Campling and Dr. Hurmat Ali for the tremendous care they provided; the palliative care team that supported her during her final months; and the entire team at Hospice House Kelowna who supported her through her final weeks.

In lieu of flowers or cards, donations can be made in Isabel’s honour to The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26, or Central Okanagan Hospice House through the KGH Foundation.

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.
