The family of Beryl Newell sadly announces her passing on January 20, 2014 at the Brookhaven Care Facility in Westbank, BC at the age of 72 years. Left to remember her with love are her family members: daughters Kelly and Terry; grandchildren Maegan (Matt), Tyler (Carli) Tyya and Natasha, great grandchildren Hunter, Nixie, Jace and Isla; sisters Betty Wigmore (Ralph) and Jean Wheatley in PEI; her husband's sisters Barbara, Mildred and Carolyn (Wayne) and his brothers Terry (Velma), George (Bonnie) and Mervin (Shirley) and many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews. Beryl is predeceased by her husband Randy, granddaughters Erin and Lindsay; her father David, her mother Florence, and her stepmother Evelyn. Beryl was born in Carleton, PEI, on July 2, 1941, the youngest of three sisters. She married Randy in 1960 in Toronto and began their life together in the military enjoying their moves across Canada and the USA. Randy and Beryl retired to Westbank from Ottawa in 1993 to be close to their daughters and grandchildren in Burnaby. Due to Beryl's Multiple Sclerosis she moved into Brookhaven in January 1997 where her sunny nature and lovely smile made her a favorite with staff. Beryl was a great friend as was seen by her many friends who visited her often. She was a fervent supporter of the Annual Walk for MS and raised money each year for the Westside Wobblers. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the amazing, caring and loving staff at Brookhaven and her wonderful friends Sandy and Judy. As Beryl wished to be cremated, her daughters will plan her memorial service for late April when the flowers bloom. She will be interred beside her loving husband at Westbank Cemetery. Beryl's daughters would appreciate donations in Beryl's name to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada Okanagan Chapter, 230-1855 Kirschner Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 4N7.
