Elaine Dorothy Neen (nee Stewart) of Kamloops, B.C. passed away on February 01, 2024, at the age of 87.
Elaine was born in Williams Lake, B.C. on January 12, 1937. Among the places she lived as a young child were Prince George, Buffalo Creek and Walhachin B.C. Elaine moved to Kamloops where she attended St. Ann’s Academy until a school fire in 1945 forced her to move to Vancouver, B.C. to a new boarding school. She returned to Kamloops as a teenager and, for a time, resided at Tranquille, where her mom was the schoolteacher. Elaine graduated from Kamloops High School in 1955.
Since Elaine was a young girl, she enjoyed spending time at her family property on Green Lake, in the beautiful Cariboo region of B.C. She spent more than 35 years volunteering at the St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral Thrift Shop where she developed some wonderful friendships.
Elaine will be remembered as a caring and giving Mom and Grandma, full of kindness and grace.
Elaine is survived by her 3 children, Leslie (Chris), Kim, and Randy (Robin), as well as 6 grandchildren, Josh (Casey), Taylor, Blake, Danny, Robin and Emmanuel. She was predeceased by her son Derek in 2014.
