Freda White (Kozuki) Obituary
Freda Yoshiko White passed away on November 20, 2018 at the age of 77. Born in Vancouver in 1941, her family was relocated to Williams Lake in 1942 where she completed the majority of her education.
Following the completion of a business course in Vernon, she moved to New Zealand with her first husband Ken Marko, spending 13 years there working and raising her two children Melanie and Kevin.
Returning to Canada in 1977, the family lived in Vernon, then moved to Kamloops in 1989. She was predeceased by Ken in 1983 and remarried in 1992 to William (Bill) White. Through her working life she held various roles, the last of which was as a care aide in Kamloops. In her retirement years, she and Bill travelled extensively and enjoyed many lovely warm winters in Arizona. She was a long-time member of the Kamloops United Church and Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association having volunteered many hours with these groups and others abroad.
She is survived by her husband William, daughter Melanie (Gerry), son Kevin (Nena), grandchildren Tane and Shenoa. Also survived by her step-children Lonnie (Vic), Gant, Tara (Joe) and Rebecca (Paul), step-grandchildren Ryan, Sarah, Sam, Ashley and Izaiah, brothers Ed (Midori), Dick (Dini) and Roy (Eleanor) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Celebration of her Life will be held at Kamloops United Church on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at 2:00 pm.

So very sad to hear of Freda's passing. We were fortunate to have met Bill and Freda in Arizona. Have never met a more positive, happy person than Freda. She was a ray of sunshine.

We have known Freda for almost forty years. Together we played slowpitch, bowled, fished, camped, hiked, biked trails, visited in Arizona, volunteered with DWC in Peru, India and Guatemala, and more. She was a wonderful human being and we will miss her. Condolences to Bill and the family.
