We Remember

RODRIGUES, Alice Dias
March 16, 1942 — May 24, 2025
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we said goodbye to Alice Dias Rodrigues on May 24, 2025, in Kelowna, BC, at the age of 83. She was born on March 16, 1942, in Portugal.
Alice married the love of her life, Jack Rodrigues, in Oliver, BC. Alice and Jack moved to Kitimat, BC, where they had a son, Gary. They were both employed with Eurocan Pulp and Paper. Alice enjoyed spending time fishing with Jack on the Kitimat River, where she would pack a lunch, and together they would spend all day there. Alice and Jack retired from Eurocan after three decades of service. Shortly after, she and Jack decided to relocate to the beautiful Okanagan, calling Kelowna, BC, home for the last 27 years.
Alice enjoyed sitting in her beautiful garden among her grapes, flowers, and vegetable plants. Her other pursuits included crocheting and knitting; cooking/entertaining her friends and family, and attending Kelowna Rocket hockey games, where she and Jack were season ticket holders.
Alice enjoyed getting dressed up and going out for dinner with Jack (and testing her luck, now and then, in the casino).
Alice thought the absolute world of her family and friends. She was kind, beautiful, thoughtful, generous, loving, and is the absolute brightest star in the sky.
Alice is survived by her forever-loving husband, Jack; son Gary and daughter-in-law Tanya; grandchildren Skylar and Austin; brother Tony and sister Cathy, and brother-in-law Rick; nephews Michael, Brian, and Tyler; as well as the many, many friends she made along the way.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to a charity of your choice in Alice’s honour.
A Celebration of Life will be held on FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM, located at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
