Kamloops Funeral Home ANGELA DESMOND (nee POELZER) February 16, 1938 - September 6, 2008 Angela Margaret Desmond entered Eternal Life at 70 years of age, on September 6, 2008. She was the 11th of 12 children born on a farm near Humboldt, Saskatchewan, to Elizabeth and Michael Poelzer. She came to Kamloops with her parents in 1953, at the age of 15. After graduating from Sion Academy (Saskatoon) and U.B.C., she worked as a gifted teacher and as an advocate of Catholic Education in the Kamloops Diocese for many years. She was a faithful member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, and a woman of deep faith. Though not a nurse by profession, Angela was able to fulfill her desire to care for the sick during her 14 years of leadership and volunteer service in hospital ministry. She generously and lovingly cared for the spiritual needs of patients and their families at Royal Inland Hospital. Her assertive personality made her someone who could get things done. In 1966, she married Timothy Desmond, her loving husband of 42 years. She was very proud of her four children: Maureen (Dominique Raymond), Paula (David Ziebart), Sheila, and Michael. Some of her greatest joy came from her seven grandchildren: Gabrielle, Nathan, Samuel, Justin, Rachel, Anya and Elyse. Her memory is cherished by her living siblings and their spouses: Sister Zitamarie, Sister Agnes, Mildred Lisowski, Sister Irene, Arnold (Theresa), Jerome (Lillian), Raphael (Kathleen), Sister Dolores, Bernard (Cecile), as well as by her brothers in-law: Barry Desmond, Monsignor Jerry Desmond, John (Amy) Desmond, and by her sister in-law Catherine Huculak. She was much loved by her numerous nieces and nephews. Angela was predeceased by her sister Rita, brother Charles, sister in-law Maria Luisa Palau (Bernard), and brothers in-law Clarence Huculak, Leo Lisowski, and Ken Wiederholt. Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all who have supported us during Angie’s illness over these last eight months. Prayers will be recited at 7:00 pm on Thursday, September 11, 2008 in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road, and conclude with a gathering in the church basement. The Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Friday, September 12, 2008 in Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. Following the mass, Angela will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made through Father Derrick Cameron at Sacred Heart Cathedral (255 Nicola St., Kamloops BC, V2C 2P3) for the Volunteer Hospital Ministry at Royal Inland Hospital. Paul Therrien January 14, 1943 - September 8, 2008 Paul Maurice Therrien passed quietly and peacefully on Monday, September 8, 2008 after a brief stay in the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, with his wife Joan and daughter Allison at his side. Paul was born in Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan on January 14, 1943 and lived there and attended elementary school until he reached high school age, when he moved to Prince Albert to live with his brother and sister in-law, Don and Cloey Regnier and to attend St. Mary’s College. It was in Prince Albert where he met his sweetheart, Joan (nee Gendall). Paul and Joan were married in 1965 and moved to Edmonton, where their children Chad and Allison were born. In 1972, they moved to Kamloops. Paul started work at Balco Industries (now Tolko Industries), Heffley Creek in October 1972 and retired in October 2003. After his retirement, he was able to pursue his hobby of “playing” with wood—building lawn decorations, his specialty being miniature grain elevators and his masterpiece was a miniature chuckwagon that decorates their property at Caravans West, Shuswap Lake. Also after retirement, Paul and Joan were able to travel with their RV and spend relaxing time at Caravans West. Paul was always ready for a game of crib, 31 or Yahtzee and enjoyed playing those games right up until his stay in hospital. Paul also enjoyed many, many camping and fishing trips with our extended family and friends at Knouff Lake and Badger Lake. Paul’s greatest joys were his grandchildren, Jeremy, Jaida and Evan. Because Jeremy was the oldest, he was able to show Jeremy how to use various tools and also how to squish a plum using a vice. He is survived by wife, Joan, son Chad (Laurie), daughter Allison (Phil) Tarlit, and grandchildren Jeremy, Jaida and Evan; sisters Rachel Matthies and Jeannette Haluska, sister in-law, Cloey Regnier, mother in-law Caroline Gendall, sister in-law Debbie (Wayne) McGowan, brothers in-law Don (Marian) Gendall and Len (Brenda) Gendall. Also surviving Paul are his many nieces and nephews and his many friends in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Paul was predeceased by his parents, Henri and Exilda Therrien, brothers Shorty, Ralph, Donald and Roger, and sister Henriette. Prayers will be recited at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola Street on Thursday September 11, 2008 at 7:00 P.M. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 pm in the Cathedral on Friday September 12, 2008 with Father Derrick Cameron, Celebrant. Donations in Paul’s memory may be made to the Kamloops Food Bank, Box 1513 STN Main, Kamloops BC, V2C 6L8, in lieu of flowers.
