A Celebration of Charlotte’s Life will be held at the family home 1105 Grayston Rd in the Deep Creek Valley, Saturday August 14 at 11 am. Please bring your best Charlotte story to share. Lunch and drink will be served.
Charlotte was born in Marville, France to Agnes and Norm Cleaver during her dad’s first overseas Canadian Armed Force posting in Belgium. The family moved several times thru out Eastern Canada and Ontario as her father’s posting changed. The family finally settled in Trinity Valley after her dad retired from the Armed Forces in the late 1970’s. And from a chance introduction from mutual friends, she met her future husband Lorne which led to a life on the family dairy farm in Deep Creek Valley.
Charlotte is the mother of three very accomplished adult children. Kevin, Danielle, and Christine. Her world revolved around the raising of the children, 4-H, Girl Guides, soccer, and school functions. Charlotte volunteered as a leader for Brownies, Guides, and Rangers. As the girls got older her involvement with the Guiding continued into the regional and district levels managing the finances of the annual cookie sales and getting local girls to International Rendezvous Camps. Her behind the scene efforts were recognized several times, with dinners in her name and provincial awards. She has continued her involvement with the Guiding world by being a member of the local Trefoil Guilds and their monthly lunches.
Charlotte’s quiet time was spent making clothes for the kids, designing and creating quilts for any bed that didn’t already have one or as a very coveted award to others for their achievements – mainly in Guiding and the annual Christmas tree ornaments gifts which still adorn all her family’s and friend’s trees. She knitted and crocheted toques, mitts, scarves, and lap blankets by the box full for retirement homes, Santa’s Anonymous and Grannies to Grannies and she did needle point projects for herself simply because the family continued to buy them for her birthday or as a safe Christmas gift. Her fingers were always busy creating, with most of her projects being given away. Creating was reward enough.
A Celebration of Charlotte’s Life will be held at the family home 1105 Grayston Rd in the Deep Creek Valley, Saturday August 14 at 11 am. Please bring your best Charlotte story to share. Lunch and drink will be served.
Thank you dear for the love and memories it has been a pleasure to have shared your life. Lorne

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!read more

Vince the owner assured us he would submit all paper work for the death benefit and survivor CPP.He told us he does... this as a service because he said he deals with this all the time and knows what all is required to get it processed quickly. Well for us all it did was complicate matters as Vince failed to submit the correct paperwork. When we approached him he said he would make it right. Failed again so now we will do it ourselves .
I would never recommend this place.read more
