We Remember

Maurer, George

George passed away peacefully on July 4, 2012.  He is survived by his loving wife Molly of 68 years, three children, Brian (Irene), Warren (Ann-Marie) and Judy (Barry), five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren, his brother Edward and sister Lydia.  Predeceased by his parents Peter and Mathilda Maurer and sisters Emma and Frieda.  George’s career included farming and building construction in Saskatchewan and then worked for Sears in Kelowna until his retirement.

George enjoyed a number of sports and other activities including softball, curling, camping, dancing and travelling.   The family would like to offer a sincere thank you to the many people who have attended to George’s health and comfort in the past few years, especially Dr. Steinruck and the staff at Brandt’s Creek Mews and Mountain View Village.  A memorial service will be held at First Lutheran Church, 4091 Lakeshore Road, Kelowna, on Monday, July 9th at 1:30 PM.  In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.

    Aunt Molly, Brian, Warren, Judy and families
    We were very saddened to hear that Uncle George passed away. I tried to make arrangements to attend the funeral,but it just didn’t work.
    I have many fond memories of Uncle George and the times I spent at the house,either at the farm or in Melville. Merv and I were homoured to have him give the toast to the bride at our wedding.
    Cherish the good memories you have of him.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
    Merv and Verna

    Molly, Brian, Warren & Judy. My condolences on my cousin George’s passing. I’ll always remember how he and my Dad would often have a good laugh at some comment one or the other made in German. I’d usually laugh along, even tho I had almost no idea what the heck they said. Love to you all.

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.
