Truth Heinzman Obituary
Truth Heinzman (nee Savage) of Kamloops, British Columbia passed away on December 31, 2014. Beloved wife of George (October 21, 2001). She is sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her daughters Crystal (Gary) Payne of Ottawa, ON; Patricia (Mario) Pooli of Kamloops, BC; Shirley Gasparin of Kamloops, BC; Brenda (Frank) Vigna of Kamloops, BC, her sister Eva Terlesky of Calgary, AB. Also survived by her grandchildren Steven, John, Amber, Amanda, Meghan, Brian, Khristipher, Vanessa, Dustin and her great-grandchildren Paisley, Ashlynn, Brooklyn, Lincoln, Rillee, Jazzlin as well as many friends and relatives.
Truth was born on August 21, 1936 and during her childhood had a very close relationship with her mom and dad (Eva and Angelo Savage). She always stayed close by her parents and worked with them in their antiquities shop through to her adult years. Truth was a graduate of Kamloops High School and was very involved in school activities including band and cheerleading. During Truth`s youth she was actively involved with the Red Cross and recreation programs. Along with being a swimming instructor and life guard at Riverside Park, she was instrumental in the building of the first in-ground swimming pool at Riverside Park. Music played a large part in Truth`s school life and she was a member of the Kamloops High School Band. In 1954 she travelled with 52 other band members, to Kerkrade, Holland for the World Music Festival where they won the world championship. Her love of music lives on in her daughters and grandchildren.
Truth was married to George, the love of her life, for 47 years. They lived in Kamloops and raised their family of four daughters. Together they watched them grow to become wonderful people with families of their own. Later in life Truth travelled with George from BC to Manitoba marketing his artwork (a hobby they both loved). They moved to Penhold, AB and then Edmonton, AB for some years. When George passed away Truth returned to Kamloops.
From the time Truth was a little girl she loved to garden. She would even plant flowers between her father`s tomato plants. Over the past 10 years her neighbours and friends have enjoyed her love of gardening through the beautiful garden she created in her back yard at Sun Rivers.
Truth believed you were never too old to wear heels, you should always have a purse to match your shoes, a little nail polish goes a long way and make sure your lipstick is fresh when you go to the casino just in case you win big. Truth never sat of the sidelines of life. She could tell the longest and best of stories. Her laugh and personality lit up the room.
The Celebration of Truth`s life will take place on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops with The Very Reverend Louise Peters officiating.
Donations would be appreciated, to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 in memory of Truth or flowers gratefully accepted at Schoening Funeral Service.
Truth was loved by her family and friends. She will be deeply missed. Mom rest in peace and once again be happy with our dear dad.
