CEBULIAK We regret to announce the passing of Mary Cebuliak (nee Maria Dubetz) on Sunday, April 29th, 2012 in Noric House, shortly after having celebrated her 100th birthday. She was a long time resident of Vernon. Mary was born to Peter and Anna Dubetz (nee Dwernychuk) on February 24th, 1912 at Smoky Lake, Alberta and was the second of nine children; ¿ve girls and four boys. It was in Smoky Lake that she met and married Frank Cebuliak and had three of their four children. They farmed there until 1948 and then moved to the Cariboo and Chilcotin area of B.C. They ranched there for several years and had their fourth child, Francis in Williams Lake in January, 1951. In July of that same year they moved to Vernon. Mary spent many years looking after her children, home, and working as a cook in several restaurants, as well as the Army Camp in Vernon. In 1991, at the age of 79 years, Mary was admitted to Noric House. Mary will be lovingly remembered by her children, Evelyn Chizawsky of Edmonton, Alberta, Ken (Margaret) Cebuliak, Leonard Cebuliak and Fran (Bill) Harris, all of Vernon, B.C.; twelve grandchildren; numerous (and still counting) great-grandchildren; her sister, Doris Dubetz of Vernon, B.C.; two sisters-in-law, Doris (Babiuk) Dubetz and Olga (Klem) Dubetz, both of Smoky Lake, Alberta; twenty six nieces and nephews; as well as the staff and residents of Noric House. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank in 1998; four brothers, John, Tom, Steve and George Dubetz; three sisters, Lillian Repka, Helen Clarke and Kay Shapka; her son-in-law, Ernie Chizawsky; and her granddaughter, Roseann Chizawsky. Mary will be remembered as a devoted Mother and one determined and resilient woman. She had an incredible memory and a stubborn pursuit of, and success in achieving, human dignity. The family wishes to thank Dr. Dyck for his care, and especially the staff at Noric House for looking after Mary where she resided for almost twenty one years. The Funeral Service will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, May 12th, 2012 at 1:30 P.M. with The Very Reverend Archpriest Isadore Woronchak of¿ciating. Interment will follow in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187
Celia Irene McIntosh
Celia Irene McIntosh passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on April 27, 2012 at Hospice House in Vernon, British Columbia. Celia was born a New Years baby, January 1st, 1932 in Edmonton, Alberta, to Andrew and Selma Walker. She was the fifth of seven children, three brothers and three sisters, being predeceased by her oldest brother, Robert, at an early age. Celia spent her time in Burtonsville, Alberta and in Kelowna, B.C. She and Graham were married in August of 1960 and raised their children in the Quesnel area of the Cariboo. Celia was both a natural and professional caregiver. It was apparent that she was born for this, as many can attest to. Celia will be missed greatly by all those she blessed and who loved her; by her husband, Graham, and her sons, Brian, Wes, Cliff, and Bruce, as well as the many other children she helped to nurture and raise (she was predeceased by her youngest son, David, in 1998). She was also able to touch the lives of her 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, who so affectionately loved her. Celia’s greatest and constant hope and desire was that her entire family would be with her again one day. We would like to thank Hospice House and all of their staff from the bottom of our hearts. You people are just simply amazing.

Ben was a life long resident of Vernon whose family relocated from Lumby to Old Kamloops Road in 1933. Ben loved living in Vernon and chose to never live elsewhere. This was his community and he truly loved the people and this place.

Ben will be remembered as a local farmer and cattleman, operating both a dairy farm and raising beef and growing hay. Although having worked in his youth as a plumber, he left that vocation to return to the family farm on Old Kamloops Road. Despite being affected by disabilities in his later years, he never gave up his interest and involvement in farming activities. Ben will be lovingly remembered by his daughter; Susan of Victoria, B.C., a large extended family and a community of friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife; Anne, his younger daughter; Cheryl and his parents; Joe and Augusta. Ben’s family would like to thank the respective staffs of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Carrington Place Residence and Westridge Care Home for all of the excellent care provided to Ben throughout the years. A Graveside Service will be held at Pleasant Valley Cemetery on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 at 9:00A.M.
