Funeral service will be held at Crossroads Free Methodist Church on Saturday, March 11th at 11:00 a.m.
Mom passed away at her home at Shuswap Lodge in Salmon Arm. Born in Hamilton, Adrienne married Gerald Holmes and had three children, Stephen (Michelle), Stuart, and Elizabeth. She was a caring mother and a successful real estate agent. Mom had a beautiful singing voice and enjoyed acting in amateur theatre productions. She became a grandmother to Brittany and Zachary by her daughter, Elizabeth, and recently a great-grandmother to Lily Belle.
For the past twenty-eight years Adrienne lived in Salmon Arm near her sons. During that time, Nana enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren, Shayna, Isaac and Jacob Holmes. In 2015 Mom suffered a stroke which greatly curtailed her active social life and limited her speech.
Her family is so grateful to the care aides and staff of Shuswap Lodge for their loving support over the years, especially over this last challenging month. We also thank Dr. Heunis for his attentiveness, the Community Care nurses and care aides who saw her through her last days, Lakeside Medical, and Rev. David Ryttersgaard.
She wants people who knew and loved her to rejoice that she is now free of her earthly limitations and is home with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Her funeral service will be held at Crossroads Free Methodist Church on Saturday, March 11th at 11:00 a.m. Contributions to her memory may be made to the ALS Society.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.
In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.
When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.
My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.
I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.
I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊
A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!
