Fena Kosolofski Obituary
KOSOLOFSKI:
Fena Kosolofski (nee Kopp), our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully at the age of 86, on Saturday, May 1, 2004 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Fena was predeceased by her husband Peter (May 8, 1992), her parents John and Aurora Kopp, brother Mike Kopp, and sisters Betty Ternes, Sybyll Garrecht and Mary Salik.
She is survived by her sisters Anne McMaster and Bernice Prokopetz. She leaves behind her children Jeanette (Bill) Weisgerber, Eleanor (Roland) Burton, Louise (Seb) Deis, Gerald Kosolofski and David (Judy) Kosolofski, Donald (Lana) Kosolofski, Timothy (Peggy) Kosolofski and Denise (Dan) Douglas. She also leaves behind 23 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Our mother was born in Prelate, Saskatchewan on February 2, 1918. Previous to coming to Kamloops in 1967, she spent many years as a farmer?s wife. She worked in Kamloops at her cousin?s Ziebarts Restaurant, Saan Store and Floorlay sewing draperies. Fena was very devoted to her family, friends and church. Her passions in life were many including playing bridge, solving crossword puzzles, and spending time with family. She was President of the Legion of Mary at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Sacred Heart Cathedral. She was a member of the Catholic Women?s League. She made regular visits to the sick and infirm always taking homemade soup or baked goodies to them. She volunteered at Ponderosa Lodge up until she was 80 years old. Her love and caring for others and her strong faith in God will always be cherished by all those who knew and loved her. Her soul is now alive in heaven being bathed in the glory and love of Jesus.
Special thanks to Doctors Newhouse and Stefanyk and all the staff at Royal Inland Hospital, especially those in emergency and 3 south. Thank you to Father Derrick for his daily visits to mom in bringing the Holy Eucharist. Also thank you to the many friends who prayed for her.
Prayers will be recited at 7 PM on Wednesday, May 5, 2004 at Sacred Heart Cathedral. The Reverend Father Dale Normandeau will celebrate the mass of Christian Burial in the Cathedral at 1:00 PM on Thursday, May 6th.
If friends desire, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Kamloops New Life Mission or Kamloops Food Bank.

I worked with Fena in 1968-69 at Ziebarts. She helped me when I needed it the most. M y stepfather told me on a Monday to find place to live by Friday as the rest of family was moving to Vancouver.
I was in grade 13 and waitressing . No options but Fena rented a room to me in the big house upstairs. I was so grateful... it was a rescue. She´s been in my thoughts over the years. We all were blessed by her.
Florence (now Flo, I´m 72).
