We Remember

Prosser, Arselie

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

 

Passed away peacefully with family by her side on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at the age of 79. Survived by her loving family, son Larry (Bev), daughter Susan Marshall, daughter Cathie (Laurence) Wilson, daughter Charlene Prosser, son David (Kendall), daughter Michele (Brent) Bjornson; grandchildren Shawn Boldt, Nicolle (Robert) Williams, Shannon Marshall (Phil), Kimberly (Cam) Lamming, Julia Wilson (Daniel), Tyler, Brianna and Jackson Prosser, Blake and Alexandra Bjornson, great grandchildren Stephanie Johnson, Kennedy, Nico and Cooper Melson, sisters Una Kilpatrick and Yvonne (Lorne) McCarty. Sadly predeceased by her husband Ivan, son-in-law Reg, brothers Gordon Kilpatrick and Floyd Stockford, grandson Shawn and granddaughter Shelby. Mom was a long time resident of Kelowna, settling here with Dad, in 1950 to raise their family. She worked for more than 20 years in the fruit packing industry at BC Fruit Packers in Kelowna, making many lifelong friends. One of Mom’s greatest passions was travel, she thought nothing of hooking up her travel trailer and driving across Canada, coast to coast, or flying to the other side of the world. Her most recent trip in Nov 2010 to the Holy Land was a lifelong dream. She loved, appreciated and enjoyed her large family unconditionally. She will be missed. The family would like to say a special thank you to Dr. Hart and all the angels at Hospice House who made her last days so much better. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 3:00 pm at Mission Creek Alliance Church, 2091 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC with Pastor Terry Dyck officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Central Okanagan Hospice Association, 104 – 1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6.

    So saddened to hear of your loss, Larry & Bev. I worked with your Mom at Westmills in 1975. At 20 years old, I looked up to her, and greatly appreciated her patience, and sense of humor, while she taught me.
    Take care.

    Our condolences on behalf of the Heemskerk Family. I have very fond memories of the Prosser family especially visiting them at Christmas each year. We were neighbours on King Street. I remember your Mom as being such a very loving happy Mom,always laughing. I am sure you will miss her so much.

    If I was to say there was such a thing as a great funeral…this was it. The family celebrated the loss of their loved one by telling stories and singing songs.Arselie was sooo loved and respected. I’ve only known her for a little over a year, but she was an amazing lady. Charlene….you look so much like your Mom did when she was younger, so you can carry her prayers on for her. Take care everyone and I hope you still enjoy your CHRISTmas like your Mom would want.Love Jules and Vivian Kreeft <

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.
