Tom Lister Obituary
We are saddened to announce the death of Kel Lister on August 23, 2022 at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, age 85.
Dearly missed by his wife Grace Lister (formerly Zeller). Kel is survived by his children Katherine, Stuart, Graeme (Sherri), Rhonda and Jason (Amber), all of Courtenay BC, 7 granddaughters and one great grandson and Grace's 2 daughters, 3 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Predeceased by all 4 of his siblings.
Born and raised in Chilliwack, Kel moved around the Province with Department of Highways and various construction companies before finishing his woking career in the auto industry, he lived over 30 years in Courtenay. In 2003 Kel reconnected with Grace whom he had met 30 years earlier and moved to Kamloops. They married and travelled together for 19 years including 2 trips to Australia and many trips throughout Canada and the Western United States with Wells Gray Tours.
Kel lived a good life right to the last week, enjoying travelling, his vegetable garden and watching car races on TV, and attending services at St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral regularly. He suffered a stroke on August 16th and cardiac arrest on August 23rd at RIH.
A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral, 360 Nicola Street, Kamloops at 1:00 pm Wednesday, September 21st. All are Welcome. (The service will be recorded. Contact St. Paul's for the link).
