Edith (Edie) Rae Brossea u (née Olson) September 3, 1938 – March 17, 2015
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Edie Rae. She will be dearly missed by her husband Leo, children Yvonne (Albert), Dennis (Laurie and Chase), Raymond (Carla and Leo) and Jean-Paul (Kelly), her siblings, their families and the community at large.
Edie Rae was an exceptional woman who fought long and hard these past 35-plus years with many bouts of cancer. She is with the angels now, looking over all of us, and awaiting our own arrival in Heaven.
You will be missed more than simple words can express Edie Rae. The world is a better place for you having been on it, and all the people you touched over the years smile with aching hearts from having known you. Rest in Peace.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Powell River and District Branch of BC SPCA.
Ivy Wheaton, January 13, 1918 – March 22, 2015
Robert/Nina Falls (Kenton, Stephanie, Nathan, Yuri Yamamoto); Cal Wheaton (Wayne, Calvin, Cara, Meaghan, Braedan); Pat Letkemann (Jason, Brian); Les/Lynn Wheaton (Darren, Chrissy); Lillian Campbell (Lorinda, Angel) and their spouses, children, and all her grandchildren are sad to say their final goodbye to Mom/Grandma, but happy to know Mom has made it home.
Family, friends and her beloved caretakers at Olive Devaud Residence will miss her many times in the day. Mom had a great zest for life and people, but her greatest love was for God. Physical impairments—blindness, dizziness, hearing loss and wheelchair bound—didn’t stand a chance in curtailing her wholehearted involvement with life.
Deep gratitude from Mom and the family to staff at Olive Devaud Residence for living the extra mile. Your love and commitment has lifted many a weary heart.
Mom’s greatest wish would be for all to have the opportunity to know and love God as she did. She has kept you in her prayers. You’re home at last, Mom! We love you.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 28 at 1:30 pm at Stubberfield Funeral Home.
