Annie Lockerby Obituary
Annie Florence Lockerby (Dalin)
April 3, 1920 - Feb. 28th, 2014
Passed away peacefully at Talarico Care Home in Castlegar. She was predeceased by her husband David Lockerby and is survived by her brothers Bill and Karl Dalin of Celista; 8 children: Karen Webber (Brock Giles), Frances Lockerby, Beverley Poole (Don), Bernice Brockman (Richard), Linda Weberg (Kim), Christine Ransom (Ken), David Lockerby Jr. (Lisa) and Janice Avis (Doug); 16 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Annie, the 2nd of 7 children, grew up in Celista on the homestead that was pioneered in the early 1900's by her parents, Margaret and John Dalin. Annie had fond memories of her childhood despite the hard times of the Great Depression. She would often entertain us with her recollections of the "olden days" and had an amazing ability to recall an endless number of dates, ditties, poems and stories.
In 1942 she graduated as an RN from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and worked in Chilliwack prior to her marriage to Dave in 1946. Soon after, they built a home in Celista and raised their family. Hard work provided a bountiful harvest to family and friend and never deterred them from attending a Saturday night dance. In retirement, they enjoyed travelling across Canada, the United States and overseas.
In 1989, they moved to Kelowna to be closer to family. Dave passed away in 1990. Annie continued to reside in Kelowna until 2012 and then made her final move to Castlegar.
As a widow, she was always in the loving presence of family.
Annie will be remembered for her good, kind, dependable nature, sense of humour and common sense. She enjoyed gardening and preserving, photography, painting and needlepoint, bridge, crib, crosswords and scrabble, a good musical, a romantic novel, and was famous for her home made bread which she made well into her 80's.
A celebration of Annie's life will be held at the Celista Hall on June 29th, 2014 at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice or the Gospel Mission of Kelowna, the Salvation Army or the Kelowna General Hospital.
