SAUCIER, Kathleen Joan March 30, 1926 - March 29, 2014 A life well lived came to an end for Joan Saucier (nee Butt) of Kamloops and Kelowna, BC. Joan passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby-Snowden Hospice in Kamloops at 2:12 p.m. on Saturday, March 29th, one day before her 88th birthday surrounded by all her family. Joan was predeceased by husband Bert who passed away in October 2004 and her brothers Doug and Jack Butt. Mum is lovingly remembered by her four children: Laurie (Nejama Ferstman), Alan (Allison Dalgleish), Jill (Alan Sanders) and Kathy (Gary Aldus) and sister Gwen James. Also present at her passing were grandchildren: Julie, Erin, James, Carmen, Harrison, Alexander, Paige, Georgia and Caelan, as well as Jim and Heather Bottoms, Steven Clarke and nephew Jack James. Also left to grieve her passing are Pat Scott, Bob James, her niece and nephew. Mum's passing has left a huge void in all our lives and left us forever changed. Nana wed "Papa" Bert in 1949 in Kelowna, BC and after having her four children, moved to Kamloops in 1963 where she quickly became active in the Kamloops community. Nana endeared herself to all she knew through her kindness, good humour, self-sacrifice and caring. Heavily involved in the lives of her four children, she became close to many of their friends and families as well. Nana was instrumental in the success of the family business in Kamloops and did double duty as a mother and office manager for many years. Her greatest satisfaction was participating in the successes of her children and grandchildren and supporting causes which were dear to her heart: animal welfare, the environment and the CBC among others. Nana touched other people's lives in so many strange and wonderful ways and will live on in their memories and gratitude. The family has so many to thank for their care of mum but would especially like to thank the loving staff at the Marjorie Willoughby-Snowden Hospice, Royal Inland Hospital and in particular doctors Jonat and Hamilton. Additionally, we are forever grateful for the patient and loving care provided by Janice at Community Health and Natalie and Jennifer from Nurse Next Door. A celebration of life will be held at the Parkside Lounge, Interior Savings Centre, 300 Lorne Street, Kamloops, on Saturday, May 3 from 1:30 - 4:00. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby-Snowden Hospice, the SPCA, the Humane Society, Friends of CBC or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.
