Gildersleve, Linda Gladys
September 7, 1951 – April 16, 2020
at the age of 68 years:
We invite you to celebrate the life of Linda on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 11:00am at Fischer’s Funeral home.
It is with a heavy heart that the family of Linda Gildersleve, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother announce her passing on April 16, 2020 after a valiant fight with cancer.
Linda was born in Redvers, SK and was Gilbert & Orma’s firstborn. She is pre-deceased by her brother, Douglas (1980) and her previous husband Al (2000). She is survived by her husband (Barry Gildersleve), parents, 3 sisters, brothers-in-law, children Brian, Colleen, Douglas (Susan), Candice (Andrew), Karl (Christine), grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts and uncles.
Family was everything to Linda. She had recently retired from her much loved position at the City of Surrey and relocated to Salmon Arm to be closer to her parents. Linda was a kind, generous person who saw the best in everyone. She loved to travel, photography, friends, and going for long walks. She was very artistic and loved to paint watercolors of much loved memories.
Her passing has left a very empty spot in our family. She was taken much too soon and is greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplasia Association of Canada would be greatly appreciated. (AAMAC)
We invite you to celebrate the life of Linda on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 11:00am at Fischer’s Funeral home.

Teresa was born in Kamloops BC on July 30th, 1968. She Passed away in Salmon Arm BC on April 15th, at the age of 51. She was predeceased by her brothers Allan and Gordy and her sister Lisa. She is survived by her father Cecil, mother Dianne, husband Tom, sons Aaron and William, step-sons Darryl and Ian, grandchildren Shawn, Matt, Beth, and Audrey, as well as her best friend Deanna Crawford. Teresa worked many jobs here in Salmon Arm during her life, but her longest lasting was her dedication as an officer of the CIC program helping to run the Army Cadet Corps in Salmon Arm, Sicamous, and Enderby until her medical release from the CAF. Teresa lived abroad starting almost as soon as she was born, with her parents Cecil and Dianne moving the family to Australia, New Guinea, and many other exciting exotic locales as a child. When they returned to Canada, they settled down in the Shuswap area where Teresa lived the remainder of her life. Teresa was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a few years ago, and it has been actively involved in the local Parkinson’s support group helping to co-ordinate their fundraisers and meetings.
Teresa’s celebration of life is delayed until such time as it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Parkinson Society BC at https://www.parkinson.bc.ca/donate/

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!
