Kendall, Marguerite Judith “Judy”
November 30, 1945 – October 17, 2025
Marguerite Judith (Judy) Kendall (nee Rogers) was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on November 30, 1945. She passed away at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on October 17, 2025.
After moving to Vancouver in the early 70s, she married Arvid Kendall in 1977. Together, they soon made Salmon Arm their home, beginning a new chapter in their lives.
Judy dedicated many years to her role as a school secretary, primarily serving at Salmon Arm West Elementary.
With Arvid, Judy found joy in movies, theater, music, and reading. Their retirement years were marked by annual journeys to Mexico. They both treasured their time at Piccadilly Terrace, sharing their love of films with fellow residents, and Judy enjoyed dabbling in small-pot gardening.
Following Arvid’s passing in late 2021, Judy channeled her energy into “Saturday Night Live” events at Piccadilly Terrace. Her passion for movies continued, and she was an avid reader, with her Kobo e-reader never far from her side.
After four years apart, Judy has now reunited with her beloved Arvid. Her family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the nurses on Level 4 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their compassionate care during her final weeks. Gratitude also to the Southern Interior Rotary Lodge in Kelowna for Judy’s stay while undergoing cancer treatments.
Judy was predeceased by her parents, a brother and two sisters, and is survived by a sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, her step-children, and four grandchildren. She will be missed by her friends and neighbours alike.
As per Judy’s wish, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Judy’s memory would be gratefully accepted by the Shuswap Hospital Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Langdon, Bruce Meredith
March 13, 1949 – October 16, 2025
at the age of 76 years:
With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, papa, uncle, and friend.
Bruce was one of the good ones—always ready to lend a helping hand and the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. He was gentle, hardworking, and never shied away from offering support where it was needed.
He found joy in life’s simple pleasures: motorbikes, camping, fishing, tinkering in the shop, spending time with his wife Marianne, and being with those he loved most. His grandchildren were his greatest joy, and his eyes would light up every time they were near. Bruce was a stand-up father—the very best of the best—and a devoted husband whose love for our mom, Marianne, was steadfast and true.
Bruce will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his loving wife, Marianne; his children, Tyrell and Tara (Trevor); and his grandchildren, Michael and Macaela. He was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Helen Langdon; his sister, Gail; and his beloved grandson, Jaxon.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Hasta la vista, baby.
