Janet "Betty" Elizabeth Gronlund (Carlin, Goward)

Mom was predeceased by her parents Albert and Mary Williams, sisters Jean Wilkie and Marjorie Penner. Also husbands Bob Carlin and Stan Goward.

Left to cherish Mom’s memory are her husband of 15 years Cliff Gronlund, children Margaret (Don) Johnson, Barb (Jerry) Town, Debbie (Randy) Clifford, Leona (Karl) Bischoff, Ken (Michelle) Carlin, Shirley (Richard) Brooks, Joanne (Joe) Dobson, 25 Grandchildren and 39 Great Grandchildren. Also sister Teri (Bob) Young and brothers Bert (Lorraine) Williams and Aavo (Judy) Henderson.

Mom devoted her entire life to her family, church and community. She was known for her beautiful knitting and needlework. She belonged to countless organizations and volunteered any time and any place she was needed. Mom played the organ at church most of her life and played piano for the Chase Kitchen Band and the Chase Belles and Beaus. Entertaining at Senior’s homes in Chase, Salmon Arm and Kamloops brought Mom so much joy.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at Parkside, Dora McQuarrie and Darla Crown for the friendship and care they showed Mom over the past 2 years. Also to the nurses on the third floor of Ponderosa for their compassion and care during her final days.

A Celebration of Mom’s Life will be held at the Chase Community Hall, Saturday, Oct 22, 2022 at 2:00.
