We Remember

KOSTYNIUK, Evelyn

—

Born on December 5, 1923 in Blaine Lake, SK, Evelyn passed away peacefully in her sleep at Village at Mill Creek, in Kelowna, BC on Monday, October 5, 2015 at the age of 91. Survived by sisters Agnes Elenko of Biggar, SK and Eva Benson of San Luis Obispo, CA; as well as her daughters Linda (Wayne) McIntosh of Kelowna, BC and Alexandra Kostyniuk of Grand Prairie AB; son Irvine (Leeann) Kostyniuk of Port Coquitlam, BC; grandchildren Andrew (Caragh), Tanya (Richard), Cory (Jackie), Curtis, Cindy (Brian), Colin and Kristine (Duane); great grandchildren Claire, Aaden, Kieran, Makenzie, Nicholas, Harmony, Caiden and Ashton, and numerous family members.  Evelyn lived most of her life in Saskatoon where she and her husband Nicholas raised their family. The smell of apple pies, cinnamon buns, cabbage rolls and so much good food was always there to welcome all who came over.  In 2002 following the passing of her husband Nicholas (in 2001), Evelyn moved to Ladner, BC to be closer to family there and in 2004 settled with family in Kelowna, BC. A family Graveside Service will be held at a later date in Saskatoon, SK. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior, www.bccancer.bc.ca  or the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation, www.heartandstroke.bc.ca.

    I will always remember the great stories Baba told and her laughter whilst telling them. She was a formidable lady, who will be sorely missed by all her friends and family. I truly believe she is with Gigi now and at peace.

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.
