FLORENCE ARCHIBALD

Lieu de naissance : Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Date de naissance : 11 juin 1921

Lieu de décès : Kamloops, Colombie Britannique, Canada
Date de décès : 28 août 2013

Our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother passed away peacefully on August 28, 2013.

She is survived by her son Paul (Nancy) Backman, and daughter Linda (Edwin) Schupsky, step-daughter Carol (Jim) Wiggins and step-son Dale (Florence) Archibald. Florence also leaves eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her first husband, Ymir Backman (1952), and second husband, Eugene Archibald (2001). She was also predeceased by one sister and three brothers.

Florence was born and raised in Edmonton, AB. She graduated with honors from the Royal Alexander nursing program in Edmonton in 1944. She moved to Kamloops in 1945 to take up a nursing position. She was an exceptional nurse and later gained great respect from students and faculty alike as an instructor at Royal Inland Hospital with the school of nursing.

It was in Kamloops where she met and married her first husband Ymir in 1946. He tragically died in 1952 at the Tranquille TB sanatorium, leaving Florence to raise two small children on her own.

In 1971 she married her second husband Gene Archibald. They spent many years together travelling extensively and making many friends in their church work.

Special thanks to the Overlander Evergreen staff for their care and friendship during the three years Mom resided there.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2013 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, B.C.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2C2T1, would be greatly appreciated.
