JANZ, MARIE
Went to be with the Lord
and passed away suddenly
of a brain aneurysm on
Friday, April 3, 2015. Marie
is survived by her loving
husband of 68 years, James
L. Janz; two children Grant (Bonnie) Janz of Lake Country, BC, Glenda (Bryan) Jackson
of Kelowna, BC; grandchildren: Jeff (Jade) Janz of Vancouver, BC, Dayton Janz of Lake
Country, Jillian Jackson of
Kelowna, BC, Michael
Jackson (Lori Ann) of Lake Country, Cory Jackson (Kristi)
of Kelowna, BC; great grandchildren: Will Bailey, Jaden

Jean Prokopetz of Larkin Crossing, Armstrong, BC, who
celebrated her 100th Birthday with Marie last October.
Marie was born in Watson, SK and at an early age, her
family moved to Armstrong, BC. She travelled to Souris, Manitoba for work, where she met the love of her life,
James Janz. They were married and moved to Kelowna.
In 1951 they bought an orchard in Oyama where they
raised their family and farmed an orchard for 45 years. Upon retirement, they moved to Glen Meadows in Kelowna and have resided there since. Jim and Marie travelled the world together and enjoyed great pleasure in wintering in Yuma, Arizona. This year they ventured to Yuma once more where they shared much friendship and laughs along the way. A wonderful memory for all. A Funeral Mass
and celebration of Marie’s life will be held on Saturday,
April 11th at 10:30 am at St. Pius X, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may
be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9
