Marie Larson Obituary
It is tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Marie at Kamloops Senior Village on November 16, 2021. Marie was born to Katherine and William Neame in Vancouver on May 18, 1937.
Marie is survived by daughters Rosemarie (Grant), Judy (George), grandchildren Matthew (Samantha), Simon (Sabrina), Sarah (Mark), Jason (Jaden), Robert, Ashley (Brian), great-grandchildren Bennett, Harper, Ari, Maddox, Leo, Emily, and her siblings Char, Jim, and Louise.
Mom was predeceased by her sons Stephen and William. Her first husband Ray Wallace, second husband James Larsen and good friend Frank Pouncy.
She married Ray and they settled in Kamloops where they raised their four children. Mom could always be found volunteering her time with Girl Guides helping out with cookie sales or testing the girls for various badges. In 1976 Mom moved back to Vancouver where she met James Larsen. She busied herself in helping out Judy with guides and helping William at People in Motion.
Family was everything to Mom and she moved back to Kamloops to be near her children and grandchildren much to the delight of her family. After Jim's death she became involved with the Kamloops Singles club where she met Frank. Mom loved travelling, which took her to many places including Scotland, Costa Rica, Alaska and camping all over BC.
Mom had several hobbies such as knitting sweaters for the grandchildren, crocheting many Christmas decorations, walking, reading and a love of music.
Her kind heart and infectious smile brightened our days. She devoted many years to her six grandchildren then adding five great-grandchildren to the mix. The later years Mom became an avid Blazers fan where she sat with 9 family members. One of the last big adventures for Mom was being driven around town Christmas 2020 to visit with all of her children, grandchildren and greats at their homes. This trip was a total surprise as we were from one end of town to the other. Lots of stunning Christmas light displays seen along the way, singing Christmas carols in the car and of course tapping her hand along to the music.
Mom you will forever remain in our hearts.
You will be dearly missed.
