In loving memory of Mable “Jean” Chorzempa (nee Miller), born in Irma, AB January 30, 1933, died May 12, 2025 in Salmon Arm, BC, aged 92. Jean was predeceased by her husband John of 53 years, she is survived by her youngest brother Thomas Miller, only child Irene, grandsons Ryan, Mathew and Heath, great granddaughters Jozn and Zyla and numerous nieces and nephews.
A retired teacher, she moved to Salmon Arm from Creston, BC with her husband in 1997. Until 2003 she wintered in Bakersfield, CA golfing, cruising and dancing with her spouse who she lost to Alzheimer’s in 2008. She continued to golf, cruise and do community work through the CWL, Second Harvest and In From the Cold to mention a few. She was president and secretary treasurer for many years in her strata. She loved to read, watch sports, grow flowers (especially roses), make her homemade Damson Plum “hooch” and spend time with family, friends and neighbours. She was always willing to lend a hand. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
A special thank you to the staff at the Shuswap Hospital, as well as the home care team and palliative care nursed for the exceptional care and support they provided during Jean’s final weeks.

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!
