We Remember

VICKERS, Marlene Lois

December 30, 1935 — February 28, 2022

A Celebration of Life to honour Marlene will be held on TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2022, at 1:30 PM, at the KELOWNA YACHT CLUB, 1370 Water St, Kelowna, BC

Marlene passed away peacefully, with family by her side, on February 28, 2022, at the age of 86.

Marlene, a longtime resident of Kelowna, was born in Arborfield SK. After Marlene graduated from high school She took a teaching position in Mafeking SK. She received some training and shortly thereafter began her career as a legal secretary. She eventually moved to Penticton BC where she met the love of her life and married Allen. Marlene was very dedicated to her family and was always involved in the community in many different ways throughout the years. You could find her at almost everything from school and athletic programs, to volunteering at the Blood Donor Clinic. Marlene and Allen had many traveling adventures over the years, but put down winter roots in Palm Springs where they joined many of their Canadian friends as well as embraced many new American friends. Her kind, gentle and caring manner definitely left a lasting impression on all who knew her. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the caregivers at Hawthorn Park and Orchard Manor for the endless support, care, and kindness you gave Marlene, and a special thank you to Crystal.

Marlene is survived by her children: son Rob (Marlene), and daughter Diana (Cameron); seven grandchildren Malia, Alexis, Baillie, Dustin, Greg (Robyn), Bradley (Jess), and Kristen (Jordan); five great-grandchildren Myla, Blake, Bobby, Jaxon, and Avlee, and another soon to join the family in May.  She also leaves behind two sisters-in-law Kay and Gloria, and numerous nieces and nephews.  Marlene was predeceased by her husband Allen who passed in 2016, her brother Ron and her sister-in-law Dorothy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Foundation, or the Alzheimer Society of BC.

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.
