s obituary s George Guimont 1932 - 2010 It is with great sadness that the family of George Guimont announce his sudden passing on Friday, August 13, 2010 at the age of 78 in Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia. George was a loving husband, father and strong advocate for wildlife who lived life to the fullest. He was born on May 19, 1932 in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. George’s first passion was baseball. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers as a pitcher.
July 28, 1920 – August 10, 2010
His love of adventure and the mountains brought him west , where he and Shirley were married in 1955.
Sylvia Louise Atwood passed away peacefully with family at her side on August 10, 2010 in Invermere, BC.
While raising 4 children and working in the lumber industry, they purchased a lot on Columbia Lake in 1967. They settled in Kimberley and operated Bavarian News for 25 years.
Sylvia was born July 28, 1920 in Hazlet Saskatchewan to Rudolph and Violet Stock, sister to Kay and Alfred. Her life went on to include 4 years in the Air Force where she was an ambulance attendant and a cook. Sylvia married Logan Atwood and moved to Radium Hot Springs where she ran the first bed and breakfast in the valley at the Upper Ranch. Sylvia worked for many years at Jessie’s Restaurant where she became famous for her fantastic cinnamon buns. She was a 48 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion and very active with the Radium Seniors, she was well known and loved, her infectious laugh will be missed by many.
In 1998 they retired to that special “lot” we call the cabin. George spent many hours in the great outdoors and enjoyed sharing his treasured stories and jokes with friends and family. One of George’s greatest joys was spending time in the mountains with his son Rod.
The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Columbia House for all their help and care. To everyone who attended the celebration of her life at the Edgewater Hall and the luncheon at the Royal Canadian Legion where many funny and meaningful stories were told. Thank you also to George MacLean for taking Sylvia on her last ride with his horse and wagon to her final resting place. Preceded in death by her husband Logan Atwood. Sylvia is survived by her three sons, Rene (Val), Randy (Debbie), Lance (Michelle), sister Kay, brother Alfred, and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
