Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home Margaret Eileen Yanchuk (nee Adams) November 14, 1935 - February 27, 2008 Margaret Eileen Yanchuk (nee Adams) of Kamloops passed away on February 27, 2008 at the age of 72 years. She is survived by her loving husband Matthew Yanchuk, son Darrell (Shelly) Adams of Savona B.C., Donna (Bob Robertson) Sargeant of Innisfail Alberta; grandchildren Alea (Chad) Munden, Travis Sargeant, Dustin (Sherry) Adams, Michelle Sargeant, and Jessi Adams; great-grandchildren Sidney & Brody Munden; her brothers and sisters Pauline (Don) Seymour, Josie (Wally) Ball, George (Irene) Ward, Bud (Evelyn) Ward, and Helen Dumontel; and numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends. Predeceased by Delbert Adams (1st husband) in 1968, parents Stuart & Helen Ward, in-laws Frank & Mary Adams, Harry & Mary Yanchuk, Barry Harper, Joe Yanchuk, Joe Dumontel, brother John Ward, and nephews Danny Kazakoff and Gary Ward. Marg was one of seven children born to Stuart and Helen Ward on November 14, 1935 at Patricia, Alberta. Mom was a very avid golfer and curler until January of 2000 when she suffered a massive stroke and was paralyzed on her right side. This never stopped her though, as during her recovery she would ride the golf cart with Dad, and it always made her feel good. I think she became Dad’s personal coach. In the winter she would attend the curling club with Dad, where he continued to play with the mixed senior league, and be the team cheerleader. No matter the struggles in Mom’s life, she always had a smile on her face right until that fateful day that she was taken to be with the Lord. May she rest in peace A Celebration of Margaret’s life will take place at 12:30 pm, Saturday, March 1, 2008 at the Kamloops Curling Club, 700 Victoria Street. Donations in Margaret’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Thomas Massey March 25, 1925 - July 29, 2011 Thomas Massey left for his heavenly home on Friday, July 29, 2011.

The sun stopped shining in our hearts, The day you passed away” STEVE AXEL LUNDSTROM October 18, 1983 - August 18, 2011 It is with heavy hearts and tear-filled eyes that we have to announce the sudden passing of Steve Axel Lundstrom. He leaves to cherish his memory, Angela and their adoring son, Matthew; parents Larry and Barb Lundstrom, sisters Lisa and Jennifer, nephews Jonathan and Quinn, all of Kamloops, his uncle Ronnie and aunt Debbie Senkiw of Winnipeg, and so many more family and friends. Steve was a dedicated CP Rail employee. He loved the railway, it was his passion. He spent many hours taking pictures and video at the rail yards. It was an interest that he shared deeply with his son. It is so surreal that he is gone, so many words left unspoken but knowing that he is in Heaven with his grandparents that he missed so much, gives us great comfort in knowing that he is truly at peace. We will miss him in body, but his memory will live in our hearts forever. A savings account has been set up for Matthew at the HSBC Bank in Angela Ward’s name - Account # 10460 016 225065150. The Memorial Prayer Service will take place at 1:00 pm on Friday, August 26, 2011 at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Dr, with Father Peter Hoan Nguyen, officiating.
