We Remember

GRUB, Lilli

May 3, 1934 — February 3, 2026

Lilli Grub passed away on February 3, 2026.

Lilli was born in Janowo, Poland, on May 3, 1934. She emigrated to Canada in 1953 and settled in Rutland. She met her husband, Henry Grub, on New Year’s Eve 1953, and got married on February 27, 1954. They bought a large lot in Rutland, BC, and built their first house where they raised their two children, Christel and Harry.  Over time, they built and lived in two other homes at that location. Lilli moved to Mountainview Residence in Kelowna in 2019 and then to the Springvalley Care Home in 2021.

After arriving in Rutland, Lilli worked on an onion farm, at a cannery, and then at the hospital housekeeping department in Kelowna for ten years.

Lilli, along with her husband Henry, was part of the founding members of the Kelowna German Harmony Club. She enjoyed the Club and its members very much. She held various positions within the Club Executive, and she volunteered for many committees and events.

Lilli also volunteered at the Rutland Hospital Auxiliary for ten years, which she enjoyed very much.

Lilli’s love in her later years was her grandchildren; visiting and entertaining (with delicious German cakes) with friends and relatives; playing cards; and fishing (especially when she caught more and larger fish than her husband Henry)

She is survived by her children, Christel (Wayne) and Harry (Debbie); her grandchildren Gillian (Chris), Aislin (Nathan), and Ali (Trevor); her great-grandchildren Cora, Jakob, Henry, Harrison, and Raven.

Lilli was predeceased by her husband, Henry (2007), her brother Edwin (1964), and sister Alice (2022). She is survived by her siblings Lydia, Erika, Alwin, Rosi, and Herbert.

Thank you for the care and support given by the staff at Springvalley Care Home in Kelowna.
