Sylvia Coleman
April 26, 1950- July 7, 2008
Sylvia Coleman passed away peacefully Monday, July 07, 2008 in Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her immediate family. Sylvia was born in Swan River, MB, and completed her nurse’s training in Winnipeg. She spent the first year of her marriage in Kenora, ON prior to moving to Merritt in 1971. She was employed by Princeton General Hospital until 2002. Sylvia courageously battled breast cancer, and as a cancer survivor worked very hard to support and encourage others going through a similar battle. Many of the participants in the Cancer Care Network looked upon Sylvia as someone who was always there for them and benefited from her care and support.
Sylvia enjoyed socializing with friends and family and the numerous friends she met on-line. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a nurse who had a keen interest in healthcare. She was warm and loving to all who knew her, and did not hesitate to extend a helping hand to those in need.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband Harold, son Darren, grandchildren Benjamin and Abby, mother Pearl Balan, sisters Iris (George) Rauch and Rose Balan, and numerous extended family members. Sylvia was predeceased by her son Dennis in 2001.
If friends so wish, a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Canadian Cancer Society in Sylvia’s name would be greatly appreciated.
The funeral service will be held on Friday, July 11, 2008 at the Crossroads Community Church at 1:00 pm.
