Lillian Kelly
1923-2016
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Lillian Kelly, our dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother on November 2, 2016. She was predeceased in 1994 by her husband of 50 years, Bruce Kelly Sr. and her six brothers and sisters in the Thomas family.
Lillian lived much of her life in Vancouver on Fleming Street, until her retirement from Sears catalogue customer service in 1980. She and Bruce then built a home on Salt Spring Island, where they welcomed everyone from near and far. She was an active volunteer and honoured member of the Lady Minto Hospital Auxiliary. She left the island in 2006 to be closer to family.
Lillian is loved and missed by her three children: Sherry (Robert Park) in New Westminster, Tom (Diane Kelly) in Surrey, Bruce (Patricia Kelly) in Coquitlam, 8 precious grandchildren, 8 treasured great grandchildren and other family and friends.
Much gratitude to Belvedere Care Centre and the staff on 2E, with special thanks to Lalaine and Kristine, who cared for her so well in her last years. A memorial gathering will be held on Saturday, November 26, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in the Fireside Family Room (side entrance) at Burquitlam Funeral Home, 625 North Road in Coquitlam to celebrate a life of service to family and others. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
