Andrews, Ken It is with profound sadness and heartache that we announce the passing of Ken Andrews, a forever loving husband, devoted Dad, Granddad and Son who loved to spend time with his family and friends both in Canada and England. Ken grew up in Luton, England and moved to Canada with his wife Pat to become a teacher in Fort St. John. Education was Ken's passion, always trying to make a difference for each child under his care as a principal both in Penticton and in Vernon. Ken was a gifted historian, linguist, athlete and musician. Always learning, always looking for new challenges. An everlasting adventurous nature brought Ken to Canada in 1969 and led him to explore new places and to meet new people. He loved the mountains, oceans, deserts and historic buildings and sites. Ken was extremely loving, gentle and kind, patient in nature and strong in character - so brave, courageous and hopeful! He will miss Jordan and Kaitlyn growing up and having his devoted wife, Pat, beside him each day. With his everlasting smile, bright eyes, gentle humour and easy ways about him, Ken will be greatly missed by all of us. For impacting our lives with a loving positive influence and making a difference in our lives we will be forever grateful and truly honoured. Ken is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Patricia; son Sean (Beth) of Lumby; daughter Julene Andrews of Victoria; two grandchildren, Jordan and Kaitlyn; his mother, Joyce Andrews of Luton, Bedfordshire; brothersin-law, John (Yvette) and Paul (Glynis) and their two children Kieran and Natalie.

Diane was born in Prince Rupert and began her working life in the fish canneries on the Skeena River operating a salmon filleting machine. When she graduated from school she began a career in bookkeeping and worked in Kamloops, Port Alberni, Victoria and Osoyoos before settling in Penticton, where she retired from White Kennedy Accounting Associates. Diane was always diligent and ambitious and while at White Kennedy she completed her ACIA studying in the evenings afterwork. She had a wild spirit of adventure and with Jim she visited Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Hawaii, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Cuba. She was always active whether it be performing as a go-go dancer in a local band, climbing the mountain up to the Nabotean ruins in Petra, Jordan or walking to the top of Mt.Vesuvius in Italy. Her gentle and quiet demeanor and pleasant personality esteemed her among her contemporaries. She had a calming effect on people and at the top of Vesuvius when she came across a terrified girl who was flattened with fright, her back against the cliffface, Diane calmly took her hand and led her to the top. Diane was an integral part of the Penticton community. She was heavily involved with Critteraid, produced the Knights of Columbus bulletin for a number of years and assisted in many church activities.

She regularly journeyed to Vancouver in the summer to participate in Baird on the Beach. She was also a volunteer usher at the Cleland Theatre and assisted with Ironman. Shakespeare's, Julius Caesar said. "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." Diane was no coward. She was a warrior, fighting with her health from an early age when she contracted TB. The last few years she fought breast cancer, vasculitis, kidney failure and pneumonia. With grace and aplomb she lived until the end. A Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, September 11, 2014, 11:00 a.m. at St. Ann's Catholic Church (1296 Main St., Penticton) with a prayer service being held Wednesday evening, 7:00 p.m. also at the church.
