THOMPSON, LORRAINE MARIGOLD (N...
THOMPSON, Lorraine Marigold (nee Kynoch): April 11, 1918 - December 12, 2014. Lorraine's peaceful death at age 96 occurred Friday December 12, 2014 with dignified care at the Hospice House in Kelowna. Lorraine was not afraid to pass, and she knew it was her time to join her late husband Mac who she missed dearly. Lorraine was thankful to the doctors, nurses and all staff of 4West at Kelowna General Hospital for their care and attention during her preceding stay there. Lorraine was the last of her family, predeceased by her father William Kynoch, mother Catherine Pfeifer, brothers Robert Knoff and Kenneth Kynoch, and sister Zella Kynoch. Lorraine is survived by a sister in law, one niece, three nephews and their families. Lorraine was born in Swift Current and grew up in Balcarres, Saskatchewan where her family had a dray and transfer business. At age 15 her father took her to Katepwa Lake for a Sunday afternoon of pleasure but it turned tragic when a sudden storm came up and she saw him killed by lightening. When Lorraine was 21 she moved to Saskatoon and signed up with the Air Force and served as a corporal until the end of the war in 1945. During the early 1950's, Lorraine was a clerk with the Department of Agriculture and met her husband Mac who worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Saskatoon. In 1953 she married Marshall (Mac) McCaulay Thompson and they were lovingly together for almost 50 years - those were the happiest days of her life. Mac retired in 1974, and he and Lorraine moved to Kelowna where they had their heyday living life together, exploring and taking trips, and rejoiced in each other's company until Mac's death in 1999. Lorraine moved to Lakeshore Place in 2001 and lived there until her death. She was a private person and was known for being fiercely independent, living life her way. Lorraine had a small stature complimented with a big heart and a feisty spirit. She appreciated the friendship, compassion, and caring support from the residents and staff at Lakeshore. Lorraine gave to many charities and will be remembered for her kindness, generosity and sensitivity. She loved many simple things in life: gardening, sewing, walking, plants, birds, landscapes, jigsaw puzzles and most of all a cup of Red Rose tea. Rest in Peace Dear Auntie Lorraine. At Lorraine's request a private graveside service will be held at a later date at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery where she will rest forever between her husband Mac and sister Zel. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kelowna General Hospital. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com.

THOMAS, PEGGY (NEE MARGARET EL...
THOMAS, Peggy (Nee Margaret Eldora Alexandra Orr): Tim Hortons lost a loyal customer on December 7, 2014. Peggy passed peacefully in her home at The Concorde Assisted Living in Penticton. Her husband Jack predeceased her in 1982 and she is survived by sons Dean of Penticton and Lowell (Karen) of Tucson, AZ. Grandsons Waylon and Harley Thomas live in North Vancouver while grand-daughter Christa Moser and great-grandkids Tyler Spray and Jayden Nichol are from Saanichton. Peggy was born in Hanna, Alberta in 1927 and followed her parents to British Columbia. After Business School, she was working in Prince George as the first-known female lumber buyer when she met her future husband, Jack Thomas of Smithers Planer. Jack, recognizing a charming woman who could also be an asset to his business, charmed her with a first date which ended up at a romantic view point under the stars. Peggy later learned that the viewpoint was a sanitary land fill, but the romance took hold. Simultaneously starting their own family and both working to build the family business, Jack and Peggy's time in Smithers was surrounded by their parents, brothers, a sister, in-laws and the many associated children, all within a few short blocks. After a short stint in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Jack and Peggy bought a vineyard and settled in Penticton in 1968 for the long haul. She became comptroller for Casabello Wines for many years. Some might say that she was a connoisseur of the fine wines of that era. The family denies all reports of inventory leakage during Peggy's tenure. Peggy's house was always full of the neighborhood's juvenile delinquents - some of which called her Peggy and many which called her Mom. Simply put, Peggy loved and cared for just about everybody who came in contact with her and, in mostly every case, that love was returned to her until her final day. If Peggy had a message for those that remain, it would be, "I have been blessed". Special thanks to the staff and management of The Concorde, Dr. Killian and Dr. Clouatre, and the wonderful staff of Penticton Regional Hospital. You succeeded in giving us all our greatest gift, more time with Peggy! The family would like to "celebrate her life" with a gathering of friends and family in Penticton when there is warmer weather, easier travel and more availability. If you would like to attend please email deanthomas@shaw.ca or phone 250-276-5909.
