Margaret Louise West

Dec 2, 1928 – May 21, 2015

Louise West, our Beloved Mother, Grandmother & Great Grandmother, “Our Gigi”, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 21, 2015 with her family at her side. She is survived by her two brothers, Preston & Al Wiley, her four sons, Jim (Sheila), Larry, Neil & Glenn (Rose) and also her cherished grandchildren, Deanna (Mitch) Christy, Steve (Cindy) West, Katrina (Kevin) Sewell, Brandi (Wes) Rancier, Colin Wookey, Chad, Dennis & Scott (Kassie) West. She also leaves behind eleven great grandchildren and a large extended family whom she adored.

Lou was predeceased by her loving husband Gordon West, her parents May & James Preston Wiley, her sister Dorothy Kitching & daughter in-law Enid (Larry) West.

Mom was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba before settling in Kamloops in 1958. She was very caring, generous and kind, constantly finding the good in others. She always had a large smile on her face, even through adversity. Everyone else came before her own needs, especially her four boys whom she loved very much.

Rest in Peace. You will forever be in our hearts.

Thank you to all the doctors and staff at RIH over the last 6 months. Special thanks to the Renal Dept. for the great care they have given her over the past eleven years.
