Marion Violet Gauthier (Fowles)
July 15, 1916 - January 4, 2003
On January 4, 2003, Marion passed away at Royal Inland Hospital after a short illness, at the age of 86.
She is survived and lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Donna McDonald (Richard), granddaughters, Erin, Heather and Megan and Nona Klontz (Gordon) and grandsons, Brad and Tyler Knox. She leaves behind a large extended family in the Kamloops area.
Marion is predeceased by her husband, Robert Gauthier, in 1968, her parents, Thomas and Mary Fowles and brothers, Jack, Slim (Cyril) and Bus (Frank) Fowles.
Marion was born and raised in Kamloops and shared many fond memories of growing up in the sunny interior of BC. She was especially fond of her excursions to explore the back roads and lakes in the Kamloops area. Her love and appreciation of nature and animals is a legacy her family will treasure. We know that mom would appreciate being remembered by taking time to enjoy nature's beauty and by showing kindness toward animals. Mom lived her life with a high level of integrity and honesty and we will be forever grateful for the strong values she modeled. Her hard working nature and her need for "order" and organization in her life will be difficult to emulate but mom we'll still be trying.
At Marion's request, she will be cremated and a private Family Memorial will be held in the summer when we can get together to visit one of her favorite outdoor spots with our dogs leading the way.
The family extends special thanks to the nurses on 7N and 6N for their compassion and caring. Thanks also to Pastor Harry Bicknell for being a comfort and making a difficult time a little easier.
Donations, in lieu of flowers, if desired, can be made to Kamloops Society for Community Living or the Kamloops SPCA.

Ronald Harvey Herdman
It is with great sorrow that Ron, cherished husband, beloved son and friend, was lost to us left on this earthly plane, January 24, 2003 at Vancouver General Hospital after a heroic and abrupt battle with cancer.
Always generous, Ron would smile at donations to a charity of your choice, the World Wildlife Fund or other organization that protects cougar habitat, made in his name. A private celebration in his memory will be held on February 8, 2003 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1952, Ron is survived by his wife, Stephanie Hawkins and her family in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada; Mother, Verna Kendig (nee Gore) and predeceased by his father Harvey W. Herdman, of New Jersey, USA. Ron will be sorely missed by many friends around the globe.
Ron's diverse talents took him to a variety of careers that he embraced with enthusiasm and dedication. Following graduation in 1971 from High Point Regional High School in Sussex, New Jersey, USA, his love of pop music and media led to work as a radio announcer for news and entertainment at WNNJ-FM Radio in New Jersey. Many years followed working in the hospitality industry in the Poconos and Silicon Valley in the USA and most recently at his favorite hotel in downtown Vancouver, the Hampton Inn and Suites, where he helped welcome visitors to his new found home in Canada.
Intelligent and well versed, Ron had an insatiable curiosity about the world in general, media in all its forms and was a self-professed "television junkie." The vast library he collected includes history, science fiction, biographies and mystery thrillers that reflect the inquiring mind he possessed. A love of history and writing was fostered by his Grandfather, Allan F. Herdman and enhanced by Ron's travels and pursuits, contributing to a wealth of knowledge that helped him win many a trivia game!
A lifelong wish to live in California was realized in 1999 when Ron moved with his wife to embark on a new career and life in the new media called the Internet.
He loved Garfield comics, Star Trek everything and SO suited his online nickname of GarTrek: a true 'spacecat', Stef's favorite nickname for him. As a host and City Conference Crew member of the community www.talkcity.com where he and Stef met, Ron adopted the persona of CCCouGar and became more puma like as time passed: playing strategy games and hosting weekly interviews with sci-fi authors amongst other events. The picture above was taken while he was working online, chatchatchatting with his friends flung far and wide across the globe, the kitty, Marilyn Marilyn, who loved this human most, close at hand.
As he would sign off each chat, "CCCouGar flicks his tail and is . . . gone," - not forgotten.
