When I think of your legacy
Thoughts come to mind
Snapshots of moments
Frozen in time
Adventures, parties, boat trips and camping
Traveling, sleepovers, music and dancing
Jerry Springer on the tv, your homemade wine
Love and pride of your family
And how you embraced mine
Advice and guidance
Not always heeded
But we knew you were there
Whenever we needed
The years rushed by fast
Time was not on your side
But for 86 years
You had quite the ride
Your body grew weary
Your mind started to lapse
You faced it all with such courage
And even some laughs
My mom held your hand
You weren’t alone
As your loved ones in Heaven
Welcomed you home
As we gather today
To celebrate you
Sharing memories and stories
Of the “Ted” that we knew
I hope you can see
All the lives that you touched
I hope that you know
You are loved so very much

at the age of 93 years:
Mom, lovingly known by her family as “Mama, Gramma” was born in Berwin Alberta and passed away in Vernon, BC. She was predeceased in 2019, by her husband of 64 years, Alvin Hall. Survived by her 4 children, Lavern Stoesz, Kerry Hall, Garth Hall (Val),Belinda Zack (Jamie) and 7 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
Mom had various jobs over her lifetime, but her passion was as a server for most of her working years. She loved people, and she made everyone laugh. She was a loving Mom, Gramma who loved to cook and bake for her family. Her homemade bread, pies and so much more, were the best. She taught our Dad how to dance when they first met, and they danced beautifully together for many, many years. She and Dad had a special bond with their niece Fern and her late husband Les. The 4 of them travelled to Mexico, and parts of the US in their 5th wheels. They were some of the highlight moments of their lives. Mom and Dad enjoyed a trip to Hawaii once, and they loved that also. But the love for our family was always their biggest joy. Our family was close and we shared many meals, laughs, card games, the lake life and some general silliness. We will miss our Mama so much, but we have some peace knowing she and our Dad, the love of her life, are together again. We love you more Mama❤
Thanks to some of the caring staff at Polson Extended Care. Funeral arrangements in care of Fischers, Salmon Arm.
Thanks to everyone who have sent flowers, cards and condolences

Jean was dearly loved by her two children Joel Price of Ottawa and Shalah Price of Enderby and was a loving “Nan” to Tristyn.
Jean was preceded in joining the Lord by her parents Katherine & Francis and brothers Michael(Bonnie) and Kenny Marcellus (Carol). She is survived by her children, Joel and Shalah, her brothers Johnny (Norma) and Tony (Joanne), sister Mary Lou (Stephen) Spaull and several nieces and nephews.
Jean was known for her strong will, unwavering determination, and love and support for her family and the working line German Shepherd community. She spent most of her time dedicated to researching bloodlines, following genetics for learning about overall health, temperament and soundness of the breed. Her goal was accomplished and obtained with a strong following and tremendous respect of her own breeding program Wolvesden Kennels. She loved all her dogs and it was her passion. Anyone who knew her would agree.
A celebration of life will be held in Ontario at a later date.
