We Remember

REVEYRAND, Anita “Jean”

May 13, 1933 — August 1, 2022

Jean was born on May 13, 1933, in Calgary, Alberta and died on August 1, 2022. She is survived by her children Louise (Dave) Wright, Teresa (Wally) Watson, and Roger (Amy) Reveyrand; her pride and joys, her grandchildren Melissa (Aaron) Hannam, Mercedes (Nick) McDonald, Kimberly (Scott) Skura, Whitney Reveyrand, and Jacquelyn Reveyrand; and great-grandson Callum Skura. Jean was predeceased by her siblings Alice Wilson, Elaine Beecroft, and Bob Wensrich.

Jean was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta in the Hillhurst area. She was the only one of her siblings to be born at home. Jean married Maurice Reveyrand (d. 2017) in Calgary, Alberta on February 14, 1953. In 1966, she moved with her family to Kelowna, BC, when Mau obtained a teaching position there. Jean quickly obtained an office position at Interior Floor and Supply, where her many talents were highly valued by her employers. In 1978, she began working as a library aide in elementary schools, a job she loved because of the contact with the young children. She worked in several schools in the Kelowna area. She retired in 1993 and quickly became a very dedicated golfer.

Jean, along with Mau, were both active members of the Kelowna Springs Golf Club and founded the annual Super Seniors Tournament there. Many of those friendships carried over to her post-golf life. In addition to her compassion for others, Jean was loving, loyal, intellectually curious, and always superbly organized. She was passionate about current events and maintained a keen awareness of what was happening in many sports.

The family would like to thank Dr. Canning for many years of care; her friends, near and far, and neighbours who helped to make the past few years a rich life; and the staff and volunteers of Hospice House Kelowna, who made her final days peaceful.

At Jean’s request, there will be no service. The family will hold a private gathering at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to Hospice House Kelowna, the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, or the Kelowna General Hospital.

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.
