at the age of 94 years:
Mass of Christian burial held on February 17th at 1:00 p.m., Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Chase, BC.
Born December 27, 1929 on Parmachene/Lake Helen Nation near Nipigon, Ontario, Ivy passed away peacefully on February 10, 2024 in the Shuswap Lake Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC, with loving family holding her hands.
Survived by her daughters Marie (Ken) Smith, Betty-Ann (Bill) McDonald, Terry-Mae (Harold) Sinclair, Sharon Kneen, Geraldine (Robert) Taron and Jennifer (Leander) Goertzen, four sisters, one bother-in-law, 17 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, one great-great grandson and many nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her husband Raymond, daughter Beatrice, son-in-law John Kneen, three sisters, two brothers, five sister-in-laws and ten brother-in-laws.
Ivy grew up by beautiful Lake Helen with her parents and seven sisters. While working as a cook’s helper in a logging camp she met Raymond. They married in historic St. Sylvester’s Catholic Church, Red Rock Ontario in 1949. They started their married life on the Schultz family farm in Saskatchewan. Moving to Clinton, BC and raising seven girls, Ivy worked outside the home at various jobs including the Post Office, butcher shop, and hardware store. She and Raymond also owned and operated a General Store in Paradise Valley, Alberta. Ivy spent many hours volunteering and enjoyed playing ball, swimming, curling and golfing. She was very good, or just lucky, at winning whether it was cards, bingo, scratch tickets and even the casino.
She will be remembered for her strong Catholic faith, love of family, her quick wit, sense of humour, generous smile and heartfelt hugs. Ivy was loved dearly and will be missed by all who knew her. Our hearts are broken but we trust Mom is in her heavenly home surrounded by many loved ones, filled with joy and at peace.
The family is very appreciative of the staff and friends at her retirement home, Piccadilly Terrace, where she spent the last 12 years of her life.
Mass of Christian burial held on February 17th at 1:00 p.m., Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Chase, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

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!
