Sanderson, Bernice Elizabeth (née Ewen)

April 27, 1922 ~ March 26, 2019

Bernice passed away peacefully on March 26, 2019, just a month short of her 97th birthday and 70th wedding anniversary.

She is survived by her loving husband Richard (Sandy) Sanderson; children Rick (Clara), Diane (Gerry) Thacyk, Barry, and Kevin (Dorothy); grandchildren Christopher Sanderson, Stacy (Mike) Thorneloe, Darcie (Casey) Karpiuk, Regan Sanderson, Ryan (Amy) Sanderson, Jennifer (Ian) Longpre, and Erin (Tom) Hurd; great grandchildren Tayvan Sanderson, Kaleb and Mitchell Thorneloe, Owen and Emma Longpre, and Tobin and Tessa Hurd; sister Zilpha Dark; brother Art (Shirley) Ewen; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mom trained at Regina’s Grey Nuns Hospital and graduated in 1948 as an R.N. She had many different nursing experiences and took pride in them all. She and Dad left Saskatchewan and retired in Kelowna in 1988. Mom volunteered for quite a few years with the Rutland Hospital Auxilliary.

The family sends a very special “Thank You!” to the staff of Brookhaven – you made a difficult time easier with your kindness and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC, 1664 Richter Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 8N3 (www.alzheimer.ca/en/bc)

Interment will be at a later date in Regina’s Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
