at the age of 77 years:
van Rijn, Laurie Eva of Canoe, BC, passed away suddenly at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on Monday, July 04, 2022 at the age of 77 years young.
Laurie is survived by her children: Michelle (Chesley) Gordon, Taunia (Linden) Young, Shawn van Rijn, sister Sandy (Ben) Patterson and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
No formal funeral service will be held. Instead, Mom will be privately celebrated by her family and friends.
In lieu of flowers and in memory of Mom, donations may be made to the local Animal Shelter of your choice.
We have very fond memories of your mom. Andy remembers staying with your mom and dad when he was a teenager to help out on the farm. He used to laugh because Laurie wasn’t a great cook back then but she always kept him fed and took good care of him. When your mom lived right across from the high school, we used to go over and visit her in between classes (and sometimes during class lol). We had a lot of good times together. We are so sorry for your loss.
Vaarwel Laurie

My condolences to the Family. I worked with her in Brooks at the Safeway Bakery. Once I got to know her she was a great Friend.
