We Remember

MARSHALL, Tina Phyllis (Kay)

September 1, 1923 — June 8, 2013

On Saturday, June 8, 2013, long time Kelowna resident Tina Phyllis (Kay) Marshall passed away peacefully at the age of 89 in Lake Country. Kay was born in Poland on September 1, 1923 to John and Nadia Jasechko and was one of five children: Len (predeceased), Nina, Eleana and Ole (predeceased). The family emigrated to Saskatchewan where she became a teacher. She joined the Canadian Forces during WW2 and served in Vancouver before joining her family who had moved to Kelowna after the war. Kay met her husband Rex Marshall at a skating party at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club in January 1949 and they married in May, 1950. A family of six children followed: Garfield / ( Monika – pre-deceased ), Maxine (Terry), Ivor (predeceased)/(Barb), Corinne, Lori / ( Kelly ), and Lance / (Michelle ). Kay and Rex owned fruit farms in the Kelowna, Winfield, Oyama, and Vernon areas until Rex passed away in 1985. After Rex’s passing, the farms were sold and Kay enjoyed a life in Kelowna with her family and friends, and especially with her grandchildren. Surviving Kay are her two sisters Nina and Eleana, and children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild: Garfield, Maxine (daughter Amber), Corinne (son Iain), Lori (son Lee) and Lance (daughter Andrea and son Scott) and Ivor’s sons Christopher, Benjamin and Ryan, and great-granddaughter Presley. Kay was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and wife and she is missed by all. The family wish to thank Dr. Carver and Dr. Penney and all of the wonderful staff at Lake Country Lodge for the excellent care over the years. A Memorial Service for Kay will be held on Friday, July 12, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna. Donations in Kay’s name may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

    I was just checking my father George’s condolence page (he passed just two days before Kay). My sympathies to all family members. Maxine was my best friend all thru high school. I remember many many times spent in the Marshall house enjoying Kay’s baking, her wonderful sense of humour, her wisdom shared freely, and her extraordinary management of a large family and a large farm house. I’m sure Maxine and I caused her to develop a few grey hairs. Wonderful that she lived a full life and got to see her grand children. My sincerest wishes to all the clan at the loss of your wonderful mother!

    My sincere condolences to the Marshall family on the passing of your mom. Kay was a great neighbor to have in the Glenmore area. She was a great cook and I remember some great meals at the Marshal home. Garfield and I were best friends during school days and I think we may have given Kay and Rex a few extra grey hairs over those years. Great memories.

    Sincerely;
    Rod Moubray

    To the entire Marshall family.
    My condolences to you all as you remember Kay. I am thinking especially of Maxine and Garfield and playing together at the family home. Truthfully, Maxine and I were more likely annoying Garfield than playing together but your Mom was always there to see that things were under control. Thanks to the extended Marshall family for your many contributions to the Kelowna area. I am sure my sister Anne would feel the same way. Jean (Anderson) Githens

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.
