The family also enjoyed 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. After 26 years, they sold the farm and relocated across the road, remaining near family. Then in 2008, they moved to Armstrong. In 2017, Rika lost her partner and moved to a new retirement community in Salmon Arm.
Rika enjoyed the last 5 years close to family and grandchildren. She loved sewing, crocheting, needlepoint and many of her grandchildren were blessed by spending countless hours at Oma’s house baking, having sleep overs and doing all things fun. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her and her generosity. Their home was always welcoming for anyone who wanted a cup of coffee or a warm meal.

She loved to be surrounded by family and friends hanging out by a fire. But the number one thing Jeannie loved being the most was Nana to her 4 beautiful grandchildren, Jeannie loved those 4 babies more than anything in this entire world, they were her world!
