It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wife/mother/nana/sister/aunt and friend. She will be affectionately remembered by the love of her life, her “sweet pea,” Norman Koch, her sister; Val (Murray) Whyte, her brothers; Ron (Helen) Emde and Wayne Emde, her daughters; Kimberley (Tod) Brunelle Malmloff, Kelly Brunelle, Jacquie (Al) Chellew, Jenn (Karina) Koch and son; Graham (Cindi) Koch; her grandchildren Justin (Toni), Brian, Chelsea, Jenni, Stephanie, Emily and Bethany, numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Her loved ones will be holding a Celebration of Life at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 10, 129 Harewood Road, Nanaimo on July 5th at 4:00pm. In lieu of flowers a donation to the COPD foundation at lung.ca would be greatly appreciated.
