1919 - 2012

On Thursday, January 12, 2012 in the arms of an angel, our most precious Mother, Linda Romanin, at the age of 92 years, began her journey to Heaven.

Forever loved and deeply missed by her daughter Lorraine and son Donald (Janet), grandchildren Amanda (Chad), Janice (Shaun) and Kevin; great grandchildren Molly, Jacob, Alondra and Parker. Linda is survived by her siblings: Gino (Vera), Bruno (Bob), Reno (Stella), Elsie, Enes (Henry), Emma and many close relatives.

She was predeceased by her loving husband Aldo in 2006 and her brothers Lindo and Mario.

Mom was a warm and generous person, gentle of heart, and a shining example of extraordinary generosity to others. She always had a beautiful garden, took pride in all that she did and was extremely proud of her children's and grandchildren's accomplishments. One of her greatest joys was traveling to the birthplaces of her Mother and Father and to meet her family from abroad in both Italy and France with whom she remained in contact with for years.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, January 20, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Holy Family Catholic Parish Church, 2797 Sunset Drive, Valleyview. The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial at the church on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.

Entombment will follow at Evergreen Mausoleum.

Our family extends heartfelt gratitude to her physicians, especially Dr. Tracey Smillie and Dr. Scott Montgomery and the nursing staff on 6N for their extreme kindness, special care and compassion in caring for our Mom.

Should friends desire, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1 in memory of Linda would be appreciated.
