Survived by the love of her life of 52 years Arthur (Chum) Kern. Daughter Anita (Clayton), grandchildren Travis (Robyn), Jordan (Chelsea) and Lily Anna. Great grandchildren Nicholas, Annabelle, Hudson, Sawyer and Lincoln. Sons Jeff (Sherri) and Trevor (Nadine). Grandchildren Brandon (Tasha), Nicole (Gio), Matthew and Erin. Great grandchild Elliot.
Dea LOVED to travel the world; her African safari trip was the one she cherished the most. As an avid golfer, she was on the course with the girls, rain or shine! Her hole in one trophy was a treasured highlight.
As a devoted member to the Catholic Church in Parksville, she volunteered for many services, functions and events. Dea was also a member of the Red Hatters and a dinner hostess extraordinaire. If you knew her, you knew she had style, grace and a sense of fashion like no other. My mom was an incredible woman. She was strong willed, tough with a fierce and gentle love for family and friends.
"What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never loose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us." ~ Helen Keller
I love you mom, rest in gentle peace, MY golden angel.
