We Remember

HRZIC, Margret

December 26, 1946 — April 5, 2021

On April 5, 2021, Margret went to be with the Lord at the age of 74. Margret leaves behind her husband Slavko; her two sons Michael and Dominic; and her brother Manfred Hermes (Ilse). She was predeceased by brothers Rudi and Reinhold Hermes.

Margret was born in Weidenau, Germany but grew in the small German town of Kirchen an der Sieg, Germany. Margret met Slavko in a meat factory in Frankfurt, Germany where they both worked as Margret was a sales person and Slavko was a butcher. Margret and Slavko were married in Frankfurt, Germany in 1965, and they immigrated to Vancouver, BC that same year. Since she could not find work in her field, she worked as a waitress for 11 years in a few restaurants in Vancouver, but her favourite was a German restaurant on Robson St.

In 1976, the family moved to Kelowna, BC. She began working at the Fitzgerald Fruit Packing House in Rutland as well as the BC Tree Fruits Packing House. She worked for BC Tree Fruits for 35 years. Margret attended Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Rutland for many years and later attended St. Piux X Catholic Church. Margret was very strong in her Catholic faith reading the Bible every morning and praying. She attended Catholic prayer meetings regularly, and she attended Church services weekly when she was able. She filled life with simple activities that she loved such as swimming, gardening, and cooking.

Her friends, family and neighbours will dearly miss her friendly and personable spirit. Margret was a very hard worker all of her life and she was loving, caring, and kind-hearted.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A service will be held to honour Margret with Father Gabriel presiding. Due to the current pandemic restrictions, it will be by invitation only. However, the family would like to invite all who want to pay their respects to join by Livestream on FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2021 AT 4:00 PM (See below).

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.
