We are sad to announce the peaceful passing of Eleanor at the age 89, on Monday, April 29th, 2024. Predeceased by her first husband Moritz Mang, father and mother, Cecil and Anne Brander, along with her brother Robert (Bob) Brander.
She is survived by her loving husband and our Earth Angel, Peter Colcerin, of 33 years. Daughters, Shelley Wright (Stan) from Regina, and Donna Schaffer from Calgary; five grandchildren:
Justin Wright, Jennifer (Jason Schmidt), Lindsie (Tyler Korchinski), Erin Schaffer ( Paul Rosler), Reid Schaffer (Ciara Healy) and 8 great grandchildren: Bella, Carter, Nixon, Logan, Jaxon, Emily, Elvi, and Archer, as well as numerous extended family.
A special thank you is extended to our Kelowna Angels, Marlene and Maurice Hitchcock. We want to thank them for everything they have done during moms lengthy journey through her illness, as well as ensuring Poppa Pete is well taken care of, in the long distance absence of immediate family.
Eleanor was a Registered Nurse for over 25 years and enjoyed quilting, cooking, square dancing and travel.
She and Peter were snowbirds in Arizona and California for many years. They also loved camping across Canada.
Her Celebration of Life will be held in the Faith Lutheran Church, 250 Gibbs Rd W, Kelowna, BC at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 15th, 2024. Lunch will be served immediately following the service in the church hall.
Also, anyone that wishes to join the family is also invited to celebrate Peter's 97th birthday at a location that will be advised based on weather conditions.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.
