November 23, 1925 – October 3, 2015
at the age of 89 years
It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Kenneth John Crabb at Salmon Arm General Hospital, at the age of 89. He was predeceased by his son, Curtis Crabb in February 2014. Ken leaves behind his wife Ellen, daughter Caren (Mike Furlong), daughter in-law Carol, five grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. He was very proud of all of them.
Ken was born and raised in Borden, Saskatchewan. Married Ellen Grace Brookman on November 9, 1957. In 1972 Ken and Ellen moved from Borden Saskatchewan to Enderby, British Columbia, and later settled in Salmon Arm, BC, where Ellen resides now. Ken pursued a career in many areas, in particular farming, carpentry, and building homes. Woodwork was a huge part of his life. Ken had a passion for sports throughout his life and found a love for quading in his later years.
There will be a celebration of life at 5th Ave Senior Centre in Salmon Arm on October 17th at 2pm.
