It is with heavy hearts we say our Goodbye’s to Dilys Ida Singer who passed away Thursday, September 17, 2015 at the age or 87.  She will be dearly missed by her husband Frank of 63 years, her sister Donella Krebs of Coquitlam, BC and many nieces and nephews.  Dilys (Dil) was born in Banff, AB in 1928.  The family moved to Kelowna in 1942 where she worked for BC Tel, the Packing House and as a Doctor’s assistant.  She also spent many years supporting her husband in his orchard and his many business endeavors, which included Shady Rest Fish & Chips.  Dilys loved to play bridge and enjoyed many an afternoon at the local casino.  Gardening was her passion and she grew beautiful award winning roses.  She loved life and entertaining and there were many happy dinner parties at the Singers.  Dilys was extremely courageous in her latter years enduring many medical difficulties.

She was predeceased by her parents Edna and Charles Clewley, her sisters Doris Dewberry, Audrey Smith and brother Gerald Locke.

    I cherish the memories of my favourite summer holidays, spent with Aunt Dilys and Uncle Frank, at the Lakehouse.
    We also fondly remember our summer visits to Kelowna as adults.
    Our sincere condolences to Frank. She will be missed.

    So many happy memories come to mind. Dil was more than an aunt to me. We could talk about anything, and I cherish the special relationship we had. Even while I was living in England she stayed in touch on a regular basis. She was always encouraging, interested and supportive. Frank we are sorry you have lost your wife and best friend and are here to support you in any way we can. Love Cheryl and Barry

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.
