Oct 8 1951 - Oct 2 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nonie Miyazaki. Nonie passed away peacefully at Gillis house, Merritt, BC on October 2nd 2024.
She is survived by her loving husband of 48 years Brian Miyazaki, children Trevor (Karin), Kenji (Melissa); grandchildren Ethan, Matthias, Emi, Georg, and Michelle; sisters Gwen (Dave) and Jeanine (Rick); as well as many nieces and nephews.
Nonie was predeceased by her father Don, mother Dove, and sister Donna.
Nonie was a respected and passionate volunteer with BC Hockey, Omaha, Merritt Minor Hockey and the Merritt Centennials. She loved giving back to the local minor hockey and adored visiting with all who knew her while manning her cash register at Centennial games and other hockey tournaments. Her love for hockey now lives on in her children and grandchildren.
Nonie was happiest with her children, grandchildren, and family by her side. She rests peacefully knowing that her legacy lives on and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Nonie’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.
Brian and the boys would like to thank all their family and friends for all the support given during this difficult time. As well as a special thanks to the staff at Gillis house, Nicola Valley hospital, and Royal Inland hospital during Nonie’s brief, but courageous battle with cancer.
There will be no formal funeral service held. There will be a celebration of life held at a future date.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Cancer Society of B.C. or the Hockey Canada Assistance Fund.
