at the age of 94 years

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nora Bowhay on December 31, 2019.  She went very peacefully with her daughter by her side.  Nora was predeceased by her husband Eustace 2006, son Dwight (Bo) 1999, sisters Vera, Irene, Kay and brother John.
Nora is survived by her loving daughter Beverly (Arnie).  She will forever be remembered by her grandchildren Connie (Ernesto), Wade (Catherine), Ryan (Blaire), Angela (Theo) and will be missed by her great grandchildren, Kobi, River, Tyler, Eric, Maryn, Bruno, Cohen and Everly.  She will also be missed by her sister Agnes.
Nora was born in 1925 in Cochrane, Alberta.  Her husband Eustace was from Airdrie and they raised their family in Edmonton.  Eustace was always adventurous so once the kids left, they moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to build an RV park.  They also took great pleasure in being snowbirds for a number of years.  Nora and Eustace retired to British Columbia in the late 1970’s, where they resided in Blind Bay until 2005.  They then relocated to Salmon Arm for the remainder of their lives.
Nora was a very strong woman, always putting her family first.  Although she was small in stature she was blessed with a huge spirit.  She loved the time she spent with her grandchildren, and especially loved to spend time with her great grandchildren.  She loved all their different personalities and cherished each one of them.
Nora was a very self-confident woman and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind.  She never held back her honest opinion and had a knack for telling it like it was.  Nora especially loved her daily walks around town, and always had a smile and kind word for those she met.
We wish to thank Dr. Weicker for his kindness and care that he always showed Nora.
A celebration of life will be held for family in the spring in Cochrane, Alberta.

at the age of 82 years

It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to a good and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.
Ken moved to Salmon Arm from Maidstone Sask. with his two older brothers and parents, Louie and Margaret Rolin, in 1943. Predeceased by his parents and brothers Lefty and Garry Rolin, he is survived by his loving wife Dorothy of 42 years, son Darrell (Heather) daughter Brenda (Claude) stepsons Rob and Christopher Holm. Brother Urb (Enid), sister-in-law Jan (Gord), 5 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ken contributed to his town of Salmon Arm; he was a volunteer fireman for 15 years, maintained local highways with the Dept. of Highways for 38 years and was a driver trainer, coached minor league baseball, and was awarded a life membership with the Royal Canadian Legion Br. #62.
Ken was known for his sense of humour, helping those less fortunate and his finesse on the dance floor. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
There will be no funeral as requested by Ken.  Donations in memory of Ken can be sent to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.

July 2, 1939 – December 24, 2019
at the age of 80 years

A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 4, 2019  1:00 pm at Fischer’s Funeral Services, Pastor Terry Baskin officiating.

ADRIAN, Wilfred Harvey, 80 years old, passed into the presence of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC, on December 24th, 2019 after a long period of illness and being cared for at home by his loving wife. He was born July 2, 1939 to Henry J. Adrian and Helen Adrian (nee Funk) in Capasin, Saskatchewan. Wilf worked at drilling water wells on the west coast of BC in the 1960’s and at various mills throughout his life. He also returned to farming in the West Kootenays in the 1970’s, something he had aspired to return to after growing up on a farm. He was known in his community as someone who loved lending a helping hand to those who needed it, capable of fixing almost anything mechanically, and he was committed to service in his local church community as well. He was a musician, having played in a band as a young adult, and shared his love of music through singing and playing guitar in the church and community throughout his life.  He is pre-deceased by his siblings Art (Ruby), George (Rose), Selma (Lorne) and his twin brother Wilmer (Kathy). He is survived by his wife, Carol (nee Friesen), daughter Colleen (Ian) and grandson Ross, son Randy (Joan), sister Mary (John), and many nieces, nephews and cousins. The family would like to thank Dr. Adriaan Heunis, and the nurses and care workers from the Palliative Care Team in Salmon Arm and commend them for their support and the deep care that they showed for both Wilf and Carol during his prolonged illness.
