Anita Pittman

Pittman: Anita. We are going to miss you Mom, but we know you’ve missed dad, your dancing partner these past four months. And we know you’ve missed you son Roger for the last 39 years. You and dad have left behind a wonderful legacy. Rogers’s wife Lynn (since remarried), Roger’s son Stephen Zaharia, wife Sylvie, their daughter Chloe, Son David, wife Penny, their daughter Amy Takekawa, husband Akira, their son Masato, their daughter Jessica and , and son JP (James Peter). Daughter Karen Berard and her husband Lee and their sons Jason and Cody. Mom was born in St. Boniface, a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba, 91 years ago. She was one of six children. All but one, her brother who is still living in Winnipeg, have predeceased her. Mom moved to the Okanagan when she was 19 years old. She met the love of her life shortly thereafter and married him in 1943. After the war in 1947 they moved to Kelowna and resided in the same house for 50 years. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot when the city tore down out home. Your priority in life was providing a warm and loving home for your family. You were our energizer bunny, always ready to do something. A trip somewhere, shopping and lunch, or a game of bridge or bowling. I know you’ve been missed these last few years by the girls in your bridge club, as well as your bowling team. A Graveside Service will take place at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Dry Valley Road on Friday, December 30th, 2011 at 11:00 AM, followed by a Memorial Mass at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 839 Sutherland Ave at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation in memory of Anita.
