We Remember

LAWRENCE, Margery Kay (nee Mouat)

July 10, 1930 — October 14, 2016

Passed away on October 14, 2016 at the age of 86. Survived by her loving husband Edward Frank Lawrence, daughter Christie (Bill) Ewen of Kelowna, BC, sons Ken (Heather) Lawrence of Edgewood, BC and Stuart Lawrence of West Vancouver, grandchildren Jolene (Dan) Fremlin, Adam Lawrence, Danielle (Brett) Van der Hoek and Alaura (Blake) Culos and great grandchildren Yukon and Gibson. Predeceased by her parents Margaret and Lawrence Mouat.

On July 10, 1930 Margery Kay Lawrence was born an only child to parents Lawrence and Margaret Mouat of Vancouver, BC.

Margery spent her childhood in Vancouver, BC attending Van Horn Elementary and John Oliver High School with lifetime friends Audrey, Doe and Olive. Her softball team went on to win the Provincials with Margery catching the winning fly ball.

She then went on to work for the City of Vancouver in the Engineering Department. While on one of her many swimming trips to Cultus Lake, she met the love of her life, Ted (Edward Frank) Lawrence. They married on 1953 and Margery worked to help Ted obtain his University Degree. Their two sons were born in Vancouver. In 1962 they moved their family to Kelowna where their daughter was born.  Margery cherished her role as wife and mother to her family while making time to volunteer as president of the Hospital Auxiliary, Engineers Wives, Cancer Fundraising and many school functions and horse events.  Golf and Tennis were a long-time passion of hers at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, where she was an active member for over 35 years.

Margery adored playing and swimming with her grandchildren at the family home. Marge always found a way to make things nice in times of need with offerings of great food and a gentle and kind hand. Her delicious famous sandwich platters will never be forgotten.

The family would like to thank all those involved for their kindness and caring in Marge’s final days.

    Sending love and prayers, Margery was a beautiful lady who really touched my life as I was her candy striper, and she continued to do so when I graduated high school and still came back to visit. I will always remember her kind heart. Blessings ❤️

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.
