August 8, 1925– June 23, 2025 

With love and gratitude, we share the peaceful passing of our dear mom, Lilian Francis, on June 23, 2025, just shy of her 100th birthday. 

Born in Nanaimo, she lived a life marked by quiet strength, deep love, and unwavering devotion to her family. Married for 71 years to our dad, Har, Mom and Dad built a life full of purpose, friendship, and laughter — from their early days developing the Kamloops News to their golden years golfing and spending time with those they loved most. She was the heart of our family — a loving mom, proud grandma to Alysia (Alex), Lori (Brad), Jake (Daniela), and Mark (Shal), and cherished great-grandma to eight. 

Her warmth, humour, and gentle presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered. With love, Debi & Doug.
