PORAYKO, Geraldine Marie (nee Walters) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful, mom, Geri at Cottondwoods Extended Care in Kelowna on December 18th, 2013. After a brave fight she is finally joining our dad, Dan (1998). Mom will be sadly missed by her loving children, son Donald (Joan) and her two daughters Jo-Anne Wilson and Peggy. Mom is also survived by six beautiful granddaughters, five great grandchildren and many relatives on the Porayko side. Mom's life was rich in love, family, friends, adventures, activities and interests. Hers was a life well lived. The family wishes to gratefully acknowledge the commitment and caring of both Dr. D. Griswald and Dr. D. Graham and also the amazing staff of Cottonwoods Pathways-A and Unit D. Many thanks also to First United for the prayers and visits, Bill and Cindy, Franki, Florence, Kathy, Keri, Tracey, Wendy and the many other wonderful people in mom's life. Mom did not wish a funeral and following her wishes cremation has taken place. She and dad are together at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Kelowna. Those wishing to honour mom's memory may make a donation or volunteer some time at a charity of choice.
