Obituary of Lillian Kamlah

1926 - 2010

Lillian Kamlah passed away on July 30, 2010 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 83 years of age.

Lillian was born on November 28, 1926 at home, close to Nokomis, Saskatchewan. She was raised by her parents Noble and Gertrude Hicks. She had three brothers: Winston, Gordon and Hal and recalled fond memories of "Shinny Hockey" on the pond.

Lillian graduated from the nursing program at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in 1950 with her RN in nursing. She worked in the RCAF in France and Germany for three years and had many fond memories of her time there. Her love of nursing took her to Cassiar, British Columbia where she fell in love, married and raised three children. She spent forty-two years as an outpost nurse supporting and helping the community.

Lil retired to Cranbrook in 1992. She loved music, sewing, quilting, her children, grandchildren, walking in nature, gardening, reading, sports of all kinds and scrabble.

Lillian is survived by her husband Gerry Kamlah; her three children: Barbara (Kent), Gordon (Heather), Lori (Peter) and six grandchildren: Joel, Alex, Charlie, Dylan, Dustin and Dallas.

Lil's family welcomes you to attend her memorial service which will be held at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook on Friday, August 6, 2010 at 10:00 am with a reception to follow in Centennial Hall.

No matter what, Lillian chose to see the "fondness" in people.

Thank you for teaching us patience, tolerance and kindness.

You will be missed and your legacy lives in us.

 

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
