Stewart, Sylvia Delores
Sept. 30, 1934 – Aug. 24, 2024
at the age of 89 years:
We are gathering for a Celebration of Life at the 1516 Pub, 7673 Okanagan Landing Rd, Vernon on September 30 from 1pm to 3pm, which was going to be Sylvia’s 90th birthday.
Sylvia passed away at 89. Born in Star City, Saskatchewan, passed away at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on August 24, 2024 after a fall on August 3rd.
Sylvia lost her husband Douglas Stewart on July 5, 2010 and her daughter Doris McCullough at 48 yrs old, on February 5, 2004 and recently lost her grandson Fraser Gerrard on December 13, 2023
She left behind her daughters Julie Gerrard, Sharon Hoeflich, and son Curtis Hoeflich as well as many wonderful friends, much loved cat Ebony and little pup Coco Nut. She is missed terribly as she was a very beautiful active independent woman who would walk her cat and dog around the neighborhood on a regular basis, loved to share a smile and stop for a chat. She loved to listen to music, dance, play cards, crib, garden, and watch the BlueJays and Curling in the winter. Sylvia spent many years in her early career raising 4 children as a hairstylist who owned and managed her own salon. After leaving Maple Ridge, she courageously changed careers to become a Care Aide in Calgary then moved to Salmon Arm to be closer to her grandchildren Tasha and Fraser Gerrard where she met her beloved, Doug Stewart. They enjoyed many years together traveling and had many adventures here in Vernon where they eventually lived.

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
