It is with great sadness, the family of Kenneth (Kenny) James Finlayson announces his death on May 12, 2023.
Kenny is greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his daughter Amanda Leigh, his son James Alexander (Michele), grandchildren Lea, Lauren, Spencer, Stuart, Kiera, great grandchildren Elton and Darla, his brother Peter (Susan), sister Nancy, niece Tracy and nephews Sean and Rory, as well as innumerable friends, neighbours, and colleagues associated with the musical life of the Shuswap, central and northern BC and Alberta. Kenny was predeceased by his parents Alexander and Ruth and brother Donald.
Kenny had a life long passion for all things piano, whether playing and performing or restoring and tuning. He was well known around the Shuswap and beyond to almost everyone who owned a piano requiring any maintenance. A fine musician from childhood, Kenny could be found singing in choirs, playing organ in church, playing recorder in a small group, or simply strumming his guitar.
Kenny’s second passion was building his house, an oval shaped cordwood constructed building he lived in and loved to the end. His happiest times were playing his grand piano on the upper floor of his home.
When Kenny undertook anything he did it whole heartedly. Long standing interests included Toastmasters, lawn bowling, Tai Chi and dance. Kenny’s friendliness and kindness to all touched everyone who knew him.
Many thanks to Shuswap palliative care staff who cared for him in his last months, and to South Shuswap Rides whose services allowed Kenny to stay in his beloved house until the end.

at the age of 101 years:
With heavy hearts we sadly announce the passing of Ivy May Dale (nee Hall) at Shuswap Lake Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC on May 10, three days shy of her 102nd birthday. Born May 13, 1921, at Pipestone, MB, she was the 4th child of fourteen. She was predeceased by her first husband Jessey Jones and her second husband Thomas Dale. She is survived by siblings Eva Nixon, Estevan SK, William Hall (Helen) Brandon MB, Lyle Hall (Margaret) Virden MB, sisters-in-law Irene Hall Lacombe AB, and Enid Hall Virden MB.
She is lovingly remembered by her children Norman Jones (Betty) Elkhorn MB, Delores Weddick Enderby BC, Joyce Jones Medicine Hat AB, and Linda Cowan, Moosomin SK. This matriarch leaves behind many grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, too numerous to list.
This beautiful hardworking lady overcame many obstacles in her life with dignity and courage. She had a passion for quilting and over her lifetime made hundreds of quilts for friends and family.
Fiercely independent, Ivy lived on her own in Vernon, BC up until January of this year, when she moved in with her daughter in Enderby.
She touched everyone who knew her with her easygoing practical ways, her selflessness, dry wit and back slapping hugs!
No funeral by request, instead she asks that each family remembers her by having a picnic.
