1929 – October 20, 2024   

Lucile Schunter of Kamloops, B.C., passed away on October 20, 2024, at the golden age of 94. 

Born and raised in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan in 1929. She met her husband William Schunter, they married in 1949, then moved out West to Lumby, B.C. Together they worked in logging camps, where Lucile was a camp cook and Bill was a logger. Later moving to Kamloops to start their family and raise their three children. She was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and belonged to the Legion of Mary for a number years, her faith was very important to her. Lucile and Bill excelled in curling and bowling. She was quite competitive and did very well with no surprise, as she was a true ginger at heart and she couldn’t be stopped when she set her mind to something, this is where I get it from. Together with friends and family, they enjoyed many canasta games or marble nights. Grama loved her bingo games, lottery and her scratch tickets. No matter the weather she would walk two miles a day to visit her sister and go the Brock bingo hall. 

She is survived by her six grandchildren Tanice (Joe), Jennifer (Dave), Heather (Chris), Kathy (Ted), Trevor, and Susy (Kyle).  She also had seven great-grandchildren Brandyn, Lachlan, Owen, Lexi, Phoebe, Grayson, and Sienna whom she cherished deeply. She loved to spend time with them and was so very proud of all their accomplishments. 

Her predeceased list is a long one, as she outlived so many people in her family, just as we always said she would. Her spunk and tenacity are what kept her going right until her final day. She is predeceased by both parents Donat and Rosmary Doucette, her husband Bill, and her three children Sharon, Bernice and Norman.  

She had 10 siblings Noel & Dorothy Doucette, Mary & Johnny Café, Annete & James Walker, Simone & Dick Ross, Tess & Albert Hanky, Bob & Edna Doucette, Tony Doucette, Leona & John LeBlanc, Isabelle & Ken Fergutz, and Maria Lepage. 

We have the deepest respect and appreciation for The Kamloops Hospice. Grama was so grateful for them and the kindness they showed her daily.
