Winnie was a little woman with a huge heart and an adventurous spirit. She will be sadly missed by all that she touched. Rest in peace Mom.
The family will be planning a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Winnie’s memory to the Lung Cancer Canada Foundation.
Lynch, William “Bill” Joseph Thomas
October 22, 1939 – March 7, 2025
at the age of 85 years:
William (Bill) Lynch, age 85 of Salmon Arm, BC passed away peacefully Friday, March 7, 2025 at Kelowna General Hospital. He was born October 22, 1939 in Kamloops, BC, to the late William and Marjorie Lynch.
Bill loved being outdoors, whether it was tending to his garden or just enjoying nature. Bill had a green thumb and could make the most beautiful flowers and the lushest gardens grow. Bill grew up in Kamloops and then Canoe. He opened up Bill’s Sport Shop in Canoe and it was the favorite place for all the kids to hang out. Bill was very involved with the Fall Fair for many years, serving in many roles.
His passion was in beekeeping and he was a part of the Beekeepers Club in Salmon Arm. He was happy teaching the young people about beekeeping. During his retirement he had a tragic house fire and lost everything. He moved into a amazing home in town called Lander’s Lodge. That was Bill’s “Happy Place.” “Big Bad Bill” as he was known in Lander’s will be missed by many there.
A big thank you to Lesley and crew from Lander’s for taking care of him.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, William and Marjorie Lynch, sister Nancy Douglas, nephew John Douglas and best friend Allan Wright.
He is survived by his brother Laird Lynch(Val), nephew Tim Douglas(Leslie) and several nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Bill’s life will be conducted at a later time.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.
In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.
When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.
My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.
I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.
I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊
A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!
