HOLMES, CECIL THOMAS It is with deep sorrow that we advise the passing of Cecil Thomas Holmes on Saturday March 2, 2013. Cecil was born June 14, 1913 on a prairie farm north of Herbert Sask. Cecil was predeceased by a brother, Stuart, a sister, Dolly Phillips and a son in law Arnold. Cecil is survived by a brother Ross and two sisters, Loreen Davis and Peggy Nybo. Cecil was married to the precious Mable G. Holmes (nee Yardy) for almost 50 years and between them raised 3 daughters - Janice Clark (Arnold) - Barbara Yorke (Lowell) - Marilyn McMillan (John) and four sons - Trevor (Maureen) - Phillip (Sharon) - Brian (Karen) and Steve (Lana). Who in turn gifted him 14 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. The Lord called Mabel home in 1990. Cecil was graced with a beautiful partner Evelyn who introduced her two daughters, Pat & Shirley into our extended family much to our great pleasure. Once again tragedy fell and in February 2006 the Lord called Evelyn home. Cecil spent 35 years in the Canadian Air Force, worked for the Penticton City Hall, Dynes Feeds and a school bus driver for Berry and Smith Trucking. Cecil was an accomplished musician and sang with the Tune Agers and was very involved with the new Seniors Centre. Cecil spent many years as a Scout Master and was very proud of an accomplishment trophy awarded him by Lord Twiedsmuir. Cecil was always generous with his money, his time and his love and strongly believed that the gauge of a man is his level of integrity. In lieu of flowers, donations to the charity of your choice. A celebration of life service will be held in June. Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

van KEEKEN, FRANCES We are saddened to announce that our beloved mother, Frances van Keeken, born November 27, 1921, passed away on March 7, 2013. She was predeceased by her loving husband John and survived by her daughter, Karin Reid (husband Kerry); son, Frank van Keeken (wife Yolanda); daughter, Mary-Anne Black and her grandchildren, Raymond, Chloe, Sebastian and Francesca. Frances arrived in the country with nothing except the hopes of all new immigrants. She settled in Toronto and after having three children she and John moved to Collingwood, Ontario where she raised her family, instilling in them the virtues of hard work, and being forthright, fair and honest. In the late seventies Frances and John moved to British Columbia where they made a home in Penticton. Frances was deeply religious and devoted to the Catholic Church. Her most remarkable gift was her indomitable spirit allowing her to enjoy and survive all that life brought her way. The family wants to thank her very close friends, Amanda Hill and Sandra Brooke, who supported her through several years of illness. Frances was loved by many and she touched everyone she met. She will be sorely missed. A Funeral Mass will be held Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 11:00 a.m. at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, (361 W. Wade Ave., Penticton) with Prayers Monday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. also at the church. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services.

ACLAND, Joan G. April 24, 1916 - March 3, 2013 Joan died peacefully at the age of 96 at Brookhaven Care Centre with family by her side. She is survived by her daughters Shona (John) Gates of Kelowna and Tianne (Lorne) Pringle of Oliver; sons Peter (Corinne) Acland of Kelowna and Tony (Kim) Acland of Okanagan Falls; as well as 12 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Joan was born in Winnipeg and even though she lived in most of the provinces in Canada, including the Northwest Territories, she considered the Okanagan her home. She married Doug Wilmot in 1944 and later married John Acland, who predeceased her in 1982. The years spent on the Twin Lakes and Don ranches in the southern Okanagan were the most enjoyable years of her life. In her golden years Joan lived with her daughter Shona and son-in-law John as well as four grandsons who adored their "Grams". A stroke took her to Brookhaven for her final year. She was greatly loved by her family and her little dog "Joey" and will be sadly missed by all. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Larry Bobyn whose dedication to Mum's comfort was paramount. Also much gratitude to the dedicated staff at Brookhaven on the Spartan wing whose care for Mum was amazing and made us all feel at ease knowing she couldn't have been in a better place. The family will have a Celebration of Joan's Life at 540 Gramiak Rd., Kelowna on April 6 at 4:00 pm. All friends and family are welcome to join us.
