Desloges, Georges Leopold Lambert-Emile
November 17, 1935 – April 10, 2024
at the age of 88 years:
Georges passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family after a brief battle with cancer.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years Fabiola, daughters Denise, Colette, Suzanne, Nina (Todd), grandchildren Jennifer, Laura, Katie, Erika, Deanna, Darcy, Samantha, Stephanie, Robert and Amanda, great-grandchildren Heidi, Camille, Leo, Watson, Daisy, Eva and Sabrina, brother Andre, sisters Gilberte and Daisy and many nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents Maurice and Camille, his brother Alain, grand-daughter Alexandra and son-in-law Terry.
Georges was born in Arlon, Belgium and immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba with his family as a teenager where he began his career as a painter with his father and brothers.
He met Fab on a double date with his cousin Lisette and Fab’s brother Clement for a Sadie Hawkins dance. They married in September 1956 and eventually settled in St. Norbert to raise their family.
He later fulfilled his dream of living in BC to retire when they moved to Salmon Arm in 2006.
Georges was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion since 1993 and also a member of the Belgium Club where he and Fab went to many functions which ignited their passion for ballroom dancing.
He also loved Tai Chi, bowling and golf. He enjoyed trying new hobbies such as Japanese cooking, refrigeration repair and small engine repair to name a few. He took after his father as an artist and enjoyed painting with acrylics and trying his hand at airbrushing on canvas.
He left us with many precious memories of snowmobiling, downhill skiing, going for rides on his motorcycle or scooter and many summers spent at Gull Lake boating, waterskiing, tubing, barefoot, disc or kite skiing and fishing.
The family would like to extend our thanks to Vaughn and Pat, Dr’s Keith and Laura Hepburn, and the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their support, concern and kind care.
No service has been planned at this 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!
