We Remember

WATT, Grace (née Bennett)

June 5, 1934 — August 30, 2022

Grace Watt passed away in Kelowna, BC of a massive stroke, on August 30, 2022.

Grace was born in Regina, SK on June 5, 1934, to the late Doug & Betty Bennett. At a young age, Grace moved to Victoria, BC with her parents and sisters, Betty and Joy. Her sister Carol joined the family in Victoria. Grace grew up, enjoying the wonderful environment of the West Coast. She met George, and they married on April 24, 1956, and soon after their little family grew as Robin and Chris came along. George served 25 years in the Navy, and as a result, the family that started on the West Coast also experienced living on the East Coast as well. Grace loved her family and friends. In 1975, after George retired from the Navy, he and Grace moved to Abbotsford, BC. Here, George served as the Sheriff for the next 20 years. Throughout her working career, Grace worked at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria, BC, and the Chilliwack General  Hospital, Chilliwack, BC and then as a Document/Process Server for the British Columbia Court Services. To be closer to family, Grace and George moved to Kelowna, BC in 2010. In 2015, George passed away, and for a while Grace continued to live in Kelowna. She then moved to PEI to live on the ocean with her son Chris and daughter-in-law Sandra Watt. In April 2021 she moved back to Kelowna to reside at Northwoods. She enjoyed her time there, participating in their many activities and making new friends.

Grace was predeceased by her husband George in 2015, following 59 years of marriage; and by her parents Doug & Betty Bennett; her sisters Betty (Ed) Wittchen and Joy (Les) Lesuik; and brother-in-law Lee Berry; as well as her in-laws Charlie & Jean Watt; brother-in-law Arthur (Betty) Watt; and nephews Paul Berry, Brock Patterson, and Derek Lesuik.  She is survived by her daughter & son-in-law, Robin & Dan Moser; her son and daughter-in-law Chris & Sandra Watt; and her two granddaughters Brooke Moser & Blake Kam and Samantha & Clayton Brown; as well as by her sister Carol Berry; brother- and sister-in-law Ron & Eileen Watt; and more extend family.

The family would like to express their thanks to Doctor L. Arthurs; Doctor G. Jones; and the staff of Kelowna General Hospital Emergency and nurses Sarah & Angelo of unit 4B.

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.
