LANE, Freda Lorraine (Young)


Freda Lane passed away at Windemere Care Centre in Vancouver, BC on Thursday, April 2nd, 2015 at 10:53 pm, at the age of 90. She is predeceased by her loving husband John Albert Lane on January 7th, 2008. She resided in Hope, BC for approximately 45 years prior to moving to Kelowna, BC in 1999, then Merritt, BC, and finally Vancouver, BC in 2011. She is survived by and will be dearly missed by daughter Judy Kester of Vancouver, BC; son Donald (Elaine) Lane of Merritt, BC; 5 grandsons: Chris Lane of Winnipeg, MB, Trevor Lane of Niigata, Japan, Dean Lane of Cambridge, ON, Michael Kester of Houston, TX, and Jack Kester of Vancouver, BC; four great-granddaughters: Brianna and Sydina Lane of Winnipeg, MB, Amelia and Lauren Kester of Houston, TX; one great-grandson: Thomas Lane of Niigata, Japan.  Freda was a devoted wife, mother and grand-mother who always placed other's needs before her own and we hope she rests in peace. In the last few years, despite her many adversities she wore the biggest smile on her face and was loved by many.

A Celebration of her life will be held, Saturday, August 1st, 2015 at 11:00am in the Common Room of 1869 Spyglass Place in Vancouver, BC. Donations in her memory may be sent to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.
