O'KELL, Brian: July 1, 1928 April 4, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Brian O'Kell announce his sudden passing at the age of 86 years in Penticton. He is survived by his four children, Martin (Karen), Adrienne (Bob), Andy (Kathy), Des (Carol); four grandchildren, Kevin, Allison, Lauren, Conor; one great-grandson, Logan; sister, Jean (Leonard), UK; numerous nieces and nephews also in the UK; four step children, Geri (Paul), Doug (Marg), Patti, Paula (Jim). Brian was predeceased by his loving wife and best friend of 38 years, Joanne (Pal) O'Kell in August of 2013. Brian was born in Sale, England, emigrated to Canada in 1957 and settled his family in St. Albert, Alberta. Years later, he and Joanne moved to Vancouver Island before choosing Penticton as their retirement destination. Together, they became involved in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and made many friends and acquaintances. To those people, we are very thankful. A service will not be held in Penticton, but rather a private family celebration dedicated to both Brian and Joanne in St. Albert, later this summer.
