March 28, 1938 – February 24, 2017
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Bobbie. She passed away peacefully at Berwick on the Park in Kamloops, BC. Bobbi was predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Kenneth Klapstock and her parents. She is survived by her older sister Dawnie, three children, Karen (Scott), Jason and Melanie (Dean), and two grandchildren, Kennedy and James.
Bobbie was born in Kenora, Ontario. After high school, she studied nursing at Salvation Army Grace Hospital in Winnipeg. Upon graduation, she liked to say she pulled out a map of Canada in a quest to find an ideal spot to work and ski. Covering her eyes she left it up to fate and her finger landed on the town of Kamloops. Not long after her arrival in Kamloops, Bobbie was introduced to Ken on a blind date set up by their lifelong friend, Jim Hegan. Bobbie was always a whirlwind of activity. In addition to raising a family and working in the public school system as a teacher’s aide, she was also very involved with a number of service organizations including Kinsmen, K-40 and Rotary. Bobbie was also involved with fitness. In her younger years she taught yoga and jazzercise classes. She loved skiing, hiking, bird watching, shopping, travelling, collecting art and so much more.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one of her favorite charities (see Karen or Jason for suggestions).
A Celebration of Life will be held at Desert Gardens located at 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC on March 13, 2017 at 1:00.
