Obituary of Lawrence Frank Onda

Lawrence “Larry” Frank Onda

1947-2022

Larry was born in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, to Frank and Ruby Onda. He moved with his family to Jaffray, B.C., in 1961 where he met the love of his life Donna. They were married in June 1967, and adopted two children Mickeal and Susan. After the adoption of Susan, Larry went to work at Galloway Lumber where he worked until he retired and moved to Cranbrook.

He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, and one of his favorite pastimes was gold mining, and was always up for sitting around the campfire.

Larry was predeceased by his grandparents Steve and Elizabeth, his parents Frank and Ruby, his uncle Joe, and by his wife Donna in 2005.

He is survived by his children Mike (Jalene), Susan (Rob), grandchildren Taylor (Amy), Courtney, Shane (Jazzmin), Samantha (Justin), Cameron, Jackson, Emery, Marie, three great grandchildren, and his sister Marlene.

The family would like to thank the workers at Joseph Creek Care Village for their care of Larry ,in the short stay he was there. We are very grateful.

A Graveside Service will take place for family, at the Jaffray Cemetery, Tuesday, June 28, 2022, at 1:00 pm
