    I am so sorry to hear about Myrtle passing. My deepest condolences to her family. I knew Myrtle both personally and professionally. Professionally she assisted me in selling my home during a troubled time. Personally, she was there to support me whenever it was needed whether it was at church or in the community. You will be missed Mrytle! Mrytle was my friend. God Bless you all.

    It seems like only yesterday that I saw her at Tsawwassen Town Centre and am sorry to hear of her passing. We also shared a brief time at ReMax in 1992 and I was introduced to Bob at that time. My prayers are with you all.

    It is with a profound shock and extreme sadness to hear that Myrtle has passed on as it seems only yesterday that we so joyfully dined and danced with her and Bob at their lovely 50th anniversary. I worked with Myrtle for many years and she was always full of life, cheerful and a most delightful partner. After I retired she worked relentlessly to find us our present home. Although it is a while since we last met, I will always remember Myrtle with such fond memories. Bill and I and our family, send her family our most sincere condolences.

    It came as a shock to us to hear that Myrtle passed on. Our sincere condolences to You and your family in this difficult time. We are really sorry, that she was not able to have an
    extended and enjoyable retirement stay with you in Kelowna, Bob. It seems like you left Tsawwassen just yesterday, but time passes on so fast, at our age!
    Our prayers are with you and the family. Sincerely Yours

    Peace be with Myrtle. This morning, my mom shared a funny story on how Elizabeth ended up in the dog house. Literally.
    Our sincere condolences to the family.

    Condolences to Bob and the family on this sad occasion. I am happy and grateful that Myrtle was a part of my life. She had a happy infectious spirit and was helpful many times with good advice and driving me around looking at different living situations. I know that she helped many people in her lifetime. Thank you God for the life of Myrtle Lees.

    Dear Bob, I was so saddened to hear that Myrtle had died so unexpectedly. I can only imagine how difficult this is for you and your family. We always hope for more time with those we love, but take comfort from the promise that Jesus has prepared a place for us.
    I offer you sincere sympathy and prayers for you both, that you will continue to be united in spirit, through faith.
    May you find peace and strength for the coming days Bob.
    Love and blessings, Liz, All Saints, Ladner

    Dear Bob
    Sorry to hear about dear Myrtle.
    She sold us our first home when we moved
    To Tsawwassen. She had become a friend
    Immediately as her kind heart was always willing to help out for whatever u needed.
    So kind that even our boys remember her
    When they were small. They even looked up her phone number to call her when a small emergency had happened.
    Even today years later, they are sad to hear
    Her passing. And told me a few stories they remember of Myrtle. That’s how kind she was.
    I’m am sure she is with Jesus.
    May she rest in Peace.
    Anna and Scotty McClenaghan and
    Boys Neil and Matt

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.
