We Remember

WILSON, Barbara Elizabeth

October 28, 1957 — September 14, 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Barb Wilson, a beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and friend.

Barb was predeceased by her husband, John Piwniuk. She leaves behind her loving family, including her daughter Amanda Vanderheide, husband Allen, and their two children Makenna and Easton; her daughter Kayla Wilson; her daughter Leanna Parks and her three sons Jacob, Deagan, and Mason; her son Neil Bonn and wife Kali; her sister Susan Popoff, partner Rob Briand; niece Chelsea Pouliott, partner James Cairns, and their children; and nephew Riley Park.

She was so proud of her family, and family always came first. Not only was she the best mom anyone could ask for, but she was an even better grandma. Her grandchildren were so important to her.

For 35 years, Barb was a dedicated member of Girl Guides of Canada, an organization that held a special place in her heart. She held many titles, and her guiding friends were her second family.

Barb worked for over 25 years at Chances Casino Kelowna. She was proud of her work and always gave it her best.

She was a wonderful friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was kind, patient, and helpful. Her generous heart, unconditional love, and caring spirit will be deeply missed by her family and all whose lives she touched.

We should all be so lucky to have known such an incredible woman.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at The Okanagan Golf Club, 3200 Via Centrale, Kelowna, BC.
