It is with great sadness that the family of George Samarodin of Castlegar, B.C, announces his passing on May 13, 2014, in Kelowna General Hospital. George was born on October 25, 1957, in Trail, BC to parents Pete and Vera Samarodin.
July 24, 1936 - May 29, 2013
Dearest Dad, One year ago today you changed our lives forever, and went to a place where there is no sickness or pain. Reuniting with all your loved ones. You left behind a void in our lives of an era that cannot be replaced. Your love, knowledge, wisdom and humour are dearly missed.
In his younger years George enjoyed many activities on the family farm, tending cows and chickens, helping grow a huge garden. In his spare time he enjoyed riding bikes, fishing trips and building tree forts. He graduated from Stanley Humphries Secondary School in 1976. George married the love of his life in 1977. The highlights in George’s life was driving a truck and trailer in Vancouver, BC and working at the Line Creek coal project near Elkford, BC. In 1980 George sustained a brain injury after a tragic vehicle accident. This brought upon many challenges in George’s future life. George had a passion for cars and truck and loved to drive around. He was proud to be a member of the teamsters union, the USCC and Alcoholics Anonymous and the Brain Injury Association. Funeral services were officiated by Peter Zaytsoff at the Brilliant Cultural Centre followed by interment at the Brilliant Cemetery.
We are truly grateful for the life you gave us. May you be at peace. Gone but not forgotten. All Our Love, always and forever, your daughters, Brenda, Sharon, Shelly and families. XOXOXOXOX
George was predeceased by his mother in 2009. He is survived by his father Pete and brother Peter and Steve Samarodin. He also leaves behind his nieces Melanie, Elysia, Jessica and Madison Samarodin as well as many cousin’s family and friends. May George’s memories live on with us forever. We will always love you and may God accept you into his Heavenly Kingdom.
IT WILL GO ON LINE!

In Memory of
Nastia (Nellie) Rezansoff November 25, 1913 - April 14, 2014
Sadly the family of Nastia Rezansoff, of Krestova, wishes to announce her passing at Talarico Place Care Centre, on Thursday, April 17, 2014, blessed with 100 years of life. Nastia was born in Glade on November 25, 1913 to parents Misha and Marfoonya Denisoff. She was the oldest of four children and learned at an early age, living a communal life-style, that everybody worked hard, shared food and prayed together. Nastia had a nice voice and enjoyed singing and memorized many psalms and hymns. In 1931, Nastia married Peter William Rezansoff. The young couple started their married life in Krestova and were blessed with five children. The family also lived on Vancouver Island for six years and in the Lower mainland for five years, before returning to the Kootenays. Nastia was an avid gardener, an excellent cook, a great seamstress and a devoted homemaker. After the loss of her beloved husband Peter, she lived at home until the age of 93 when she was moved to Talarico Place Care Centre. Nastia fit right in with her new friends and enjoyed helping others through song and prayer. Last year, with over 80 of her immediate family, she celebrated her 100th birthday with a great amount of zest. Nastia was predeceased by her beloved husband Peter, her sisters Polly Kalodinin and Grace Kinakin and her grandson Johnny Voykin. Left to mourn her loss are her daughters Vera Podmoroff, Ann (Bill) Voykin and Katie (Harry) Podmorow; her sons Peter (Elsie) and Walter (Winnie); 17 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; her brother Mike Denisoff; numerous nieces and nephews and friends from Talarico Place. Funeral arrangements were in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel. Funeral services were officiated by Fred Makortoff at the Krestova Community Hall on April 22, 2014 followed by interment in the Krestova Cemetery. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at Talarico Place Care Centre, who provided Nellie with such loving care through all the years she was with them, to Dr. Merritt, for his devoted attention that went beyond his professional requirements, to family, to friends, to the psalm singers, to the cooks for preparing the meal, to the grave-diggers, to all those who attended the service and to Castlegar Funeral Chapel for their services.

Katie Laktin December 25, 1948 - May 10, 2014
Sadly and with heavy hearts the family of Katie Laktin of Castlegar wishes to announce her passing at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, with her family by her side, on Saturday, May 10, 2014 blessed with 65 years of life. Katie was born in Nelson on December 25, 1948, a Christmas baby, to parents Polly and Tim Ribalkin. In Perry’s Siding, she started school and enjoyed a country life-style. At age 7, Katie was taken to New Denver and for the next 1½ years lived in a dormitory. After her release the family left for the coast, settling in Agassiz, where Katie got most of her education. When she was in grade 11 the family moved to Vancouver and Katie worked in a clothing factory and in a factory building ship to shore radios. After the family moved to Grand Forks, she worked at the Sunshine Valley Co-op and while visiting her sister in Nelson, Katie met the love of her life, Jim Laktin and on June 3, 1972 they were married. The young couple started their married life in Cranbrook, where Katie worked for BC Tel as a telephone operator and two years later they moved to Shoreacres. They were blessed with 3 sons. The family then built a home in the Voykin sub-division where they lived for 25 years. After her children went to school, she opened and operated a day care for 9 years and after closing it, she went to work at Brent Kennedy Day Care Centre. Katie loved kids and her whole life centered on taking care of her own children and all others that came her way. She was also a long time member of the Doukhobour Cultural Association. In 2001, Katie and Jim sold their house and moved to the Okanagan and then to Squamish for 8 years. They moved back to the Kootenays and Katie started helping her son Jamie’s fruit stand business by cooking Doukhobour food for him to sell. She has four grandchildren and was extremely proud of them and dedicated her life to her family. Katie devoted much of her time to her sons’ sport activities and she liked to travel and also be on their houseboat on the water. Katie was predeceased by her sister Nina Hoodikoff, her mother and her brother-in-law Harry Plotnikoff. Left to deeply mourn her loss is her loving husband of 42 years Jim; her son Jamie and granddaughter Niya, her son Theo (Kim) and their triplets Polly, Marley and Thea and her son Michael; her father Tim; her sisters Naida (Peter) Nazaroff, Winnie Plotnikoff and Marge (Harry) Bojey; a large extended family and a huge circle of friends. Funeral services were officiated by Fred Makortoff at Castlegar Funeral Chapel on Friday, May 16, 2014 followed by cremation and a Celebration of Life was held at the family home on Saturday, May 17, 2014 “MAY SHE REST IN PEACE IN GOD’S HEAVENLY KINGDOM.” The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for the loving, compassionate and professional care given to Katie by Dr. Lesperance, the staff at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital the BC Ambulance Medevac teams and all of the Specialists and professional staff at the Vancouver General Hospital and at the BC Cancer Clinic. They would also like to thank Bill Strilaeff of Castlegar Funeral Chapel for his caring and professional services, Fred Makortoff for officiating the service as well as the huge number of family and friends for all their love, help, food and emotional support.
