September 6, 1945-January 16, 2019
Norma Ruth Ekholm (nee Srigley), passed away peacefully with family at her side on January 16, 2019 at the University Hospital of Northern BC, in Prince George, BC.
She was born on September 6, 1945 in Vancouver and grew up in Cloverdale, BC, the oldest of 6 children of Lorne and Muriel Srigley.
She married the love of her life, Gary Alvin Ekholm on October 20, 1966, and lived happily together until Gary’s passing on November 20, 2011-just after celebrating 45 years of marriage.
Mom (Norma) was all about family. Children Deanna (Bob), Allan (Anita), Leah, late Michelle (Marty) and Lara knew a loving, caring person in her.
“Nana” to 11 grandchildren and numbers great grandchildren, she always loved and cared for each and every one.
She spread the warmth of her smile and wry sense of humour to all she met-from family to those she worked with at Rainbow Lodge to perfect strangers.
She will always be remembered in the faces of her large, growing family and all of our hearts.
Rest In Peace, Gentleness and Love, Mom
At Mom’s request, there will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place. A memorial to be set at a later date.
Thank yous to the Doctors, nurses and staff who cared for her, Lakewood Funeral Home staff and Liz Mortenson.
