Elspeth CRICKMORE Obituary

It is with love and sadness we announce the passing of Elspeth Crickmore, resident of Tsawwassen, at the age of 66 years old, after a long-fought battle with cancer. Elspeth grew up in West Vancouver with her mother Mary, father Eric, sister Jane and brother Gavin. After working as a legal assistant, Elspeth entered the BCIT RN Nursing program in 1981. After graduating in 1983, Elspeth worked in Penticton, New Westminster, and on cruise ships travelling to the Caribbean and Alaska. Elspeth finished her career by retiring after working for 30 years at St. Paul's Hospital ER.

Elspeth had a zest for life. She had many passions, including curling, kayaking, cooking, baking, gardening, travelling, hiking, walking and spending time with her friends. In retirement, Elspeth lovingly cared for her mother, Mary, until she passed away on May 25, 2024.

Elspeth's absence will leave a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her. Yet, her memory will continue to inspire and guide them. The world isn't a little dimmer now, it's brighter with whom she touched while she was here.

A burial service was held on August 28, 2024, at the Salt Spring Island Natural Cemetery. A recognition of Elspeth will be held at the Salt Spring Island Natural Cemetery, 2100 Fulford-Ganges Road, SSI, BC, V8K1Z7, on October 19, 2024, at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

I worked as a caregiver for Mary, Elspeth's mum. Elspeth was so lovely just like her mother. May both their beautiful souls find rest.

I worked with Elspeth for a number of years at St Paul´s Hospital ER.
She was a gem to work with who showed compassion and kindness to her patients. Although she was a quiet soul she was fierce in advocating for her patients.
