She was predeceased by her father, mother and two sisters.
Marlene was born in Smithers, B.C. and in her early years she worked for Canada Post and for her father in Goulds Family Clothiers. After marriage, they moved to Kamloops and she worked at Sears for 16 years. Her five children were the joy of her life; she was the family’s Rock. She did it all, she was the family’s Barber, Baker and Clothes Maker. She could make something out of nothing. After retirement she enjoyed her hobbies camping, fishing, and a little golf too. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. We will love you forever and always. Dear Wife, Mom, Nanna, Granny, and Friend. We will see you soon.
The family would like to thank the staff at Evergreen Wing at Overlander; They were great and Mom loved them.
There will be no formal ceremony by request, a Celebration of Life will be held by the family at a later date.

Also left to mourn is her brother Gerry (Teresa) Conlon and many nephews and nieces. Having lived many years in Ottawa apart from her immediate family, her nephews and nieces became surrogate sons and daughters. During the past decade she lived in British Columbia and enjoyed the closeness of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She had a great love for all of her family who loved her greatly in return. She also leaves at Berwick on the Park (Kamloops BC) and at Canada Way Lodge (Burnaby BC) many good friends among the residents and staff. Her friends at Oxbow Saskatchewan date back to happy times many years ago. These many relatives and friends made her last years as enjoyable as they could possibly be. The best years of her life were lived with her husband (Perce Holmes, in Toronto during the 1930’s and early 40’s and in Oxbow, Saskatchewan from 1944 until Perce’s death in 1960. She was predeceased not only by her husband but also by her six sisters, Eileen, Noreen, Mary, Sylvia, Claudine and Anita and two of her brothers Nay and Jim. We like to think that she is once again being welcomed back to the very good times she enjoyed in the company of her husband and her brothers and sisters.

She attended Stuart Wood Elementary School and later Kamloops High, graduating from Grade 12 in 1936. She attended Vancouver Normal School, completing the requirements for a Teaching Certificate and took up her first teaching position in Lytton in 1938. She met her husband Wilson while in Lytton. They were married in Kamloops in 1941, and then moved east when Wilson joined the RCAF during WWII. After the war, they returned to Lytton, where they purchased a general store, which they operated together until the late 1960’s. Gwen went back to teaching in 1963 and was thrilled to return to the career she loved. They made many life-long friends while in Lytton, and Gwen touched the lives of many children during her time teaching there. In 1969 they moved to Merritt where Gwen taught until her retirement in 1980. In 1994 Gwen moved into a condo where she lived until she made the decision to move back to Kamloops to Cariboo Manor in 2004. She spent her last years in the Hamlets, enjoying an active and enjoyable life. Over the years Gwen was a Guide leader, very active in the Anglican Church, the Rebecca Lodge, and as a member of the Retired Teachers Association. She loved to sing and play the piano and continued to do so in her final years at the Hamlets.

Michael Terence Savisky
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Michael Terence Savisky, known to all as ”Terry”. He is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Rory “Tula” Savisky, his children Zoe, Cody (Amanda) and Thya, his grandchildren Kaitlyn, Levi, Alexei and Katya, his sister Helen (Larry) Savisky-Ballion and her children Stephanie (Brett) and Michael, as well as extended family and loving friends. Terry was predeceased by both his father, Michael, and his mother, Mary.
Terry was born in 1951 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and was raised primarily in Saskatoon and Chilliwack, where he met his wife. They made their way to Fort Nelson, B.C., where in 1973 he developed a close relationship with his Creator and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He lived throughout the Kootenay’s for many years, in New Denver and Revelstoke, before their family moved to Ecuador for 9 years. They spent several years in Revelstoke before recently relocating to Clearwater, B.C.
Terry touched all of us very deeply and he was known by all who met him to be a warm, kind and generous man. He loved trying new foods and if he stayed at your home a familiar site was his head in the fridge looking to see what you had. He loved nature and hiking and music. A familiar sound was him playing his guitar and singing. He devoted his life to other people, and you knew if you needed him at any time of the day, rain, snow or shine, he would be there with a hug and a smile. We all loved him as much as he loved us, but no one more so than his wife. They spent much time together hiking, canoeing, visiting friends from all over and telling others about their hope for the future from the Bible.
A Memorial Service for Terry will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 270 Leigh Road, Kamloops, B.C.
