We Remember

MCMANUS, Megan Doris (nee Perkins)

—

Died in Kelowna, BC on April 4, 2016 at the age of 80. She was predeceased by her loving husband, John William McManus, and is survived by her step-daughters, Clare McManus (Michael Griffin) of Kelowna, BC and Ellen Redelfs of St. Louis, Missouri, her grandson Jean-Paul Griffin of Barrie, ON, her sister Winnifred Lefebvre of Montreal, her nephews James Lefebvre of Montreal, Steve Lefebvre of Montreal, Alan Lefebvre of Brantford, ON and her niece Eileen Lefebvre of Montreal.

Megan was born in Blackwood, South Wales in 1935 and emigrated as a very young woman to North America. Montreal, Quebec became her home of many years.  Megan loved music, dance, literature, and travel.  She and her husband John McManus travelled widely and especially enjoyed exotic locations.  India was a favorite of hers: its culture, its colors, its food, and its elephants.  I am thankful to Kelowna General Hospital staff, and very much appreciate the caring and gentle staff of 4East. Amanda was a wonderful support.  There is no service, by request.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society.   For those wishing to send a condolence, photos or share memories, may do so by scrolling down this page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

    My memories of Doris are those of a fun and cheerful person . As a young and mischievous kid , it was always play time with her . Even as an adult , time spent with her was always rewarding . She was bright and well aware of places and events . A wonderful person . I am saddened to learn of her death . My condolences to those who were close to her and took care of her .

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.
