We Remember

Jones, Suzette

February 11, 1969 — January 21, 2012

It is with great sadness the families of Suzette Marie Fernande Jones announce her passing on Saturday, January 21, 2012. Her final days were spent at the Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna, BC. She left us at the early and unexpected age of 42. Survived by her loving husband Kelly Jones, daughter Jessica, parents Eldon and Fern Amyotte, all of Kelowna, nieces Sara and Kaitlyn of Terrace. Sadly predeceased by her brother Dan Amyotte. Suzette was born in Terrace, BC on February 11, 1969. She lived in various areas on Queen Charlotte Islands, Terrace, Vancouver and finally resided in Kelowna. She worked in areas of banking, accounting, reception and massage therapy. Her most notable success was her home-based Massage/Spa Treatment facility in Terrace. She raised her daughter to a very successful nine years old and will be very missed by her. Suzette volunteered time at the BC Cancer Agency, Shannon Lake Elementary and various kids’ sports clubs and events. She enjoyed Tai Chi, volunteering and especially time spent with her daughter giggling, laughing and teaching. The family wishes to express a very heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the Central Okanagan Hospice House who provided first class loving care in her final days. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 11:00 am at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC with Pastor John Stutters officiating.

    You don’t know my wife and I but we had the honour of meeting Suzette through Tai Chi. She had a wonderful presence and made such a lasting impression on us that we will remember her with love and will miss her.

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.
