September 19, 1929 – February 19, 2021

Our grateful family celebrates the life and mourns the loss of our devoted patriarch, Roger Schreiner, who lived well for 91 years and died on February 19 at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice Home after a brief illness.

Roger is remembered with love and respect by his wife of 68 years, Lillian, their children Christine Marriott (Terry), Michael Schreiner (Kathleen Biagioni), Philip Schreiner (Sue Kormos) and Andrea Ranson (Scott); 11 grandchildren (David, Sarah, Carley, Graham, Paul, Rebecca, Dana, Monica, Terra, Alex and Kevin) and their families, including seven great grandchildren.

Born in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan and raised on a nearby farm, Roger met Lillian in Regina, where they were married in 1952. They raised their family in Kamloops and for 32 years spent winters in California and Arizona.

With hard work and persistence Roger developed his career as an accountant in the automotive industry in Regina, Edmonton, Vancouver and Kamloops. He became a dealer partner of Smith Chevrolet Cadillac in 1969, a position he held until he retired in 1990.

Roger was a gentleman of honour, integrity and wisdom. His lifelong faith made him grateful for blessings large and small. He saw the positive in people and situations, practiced kindness and generosity, complained little and laughed a lot.

A private family Mass will be celebrated at St. John Vianney Church — Fr. Jaison Tellis, the Celebrant. Funeral arrangements are by Schoening Funeral Service and condolences may be offered online at Schoeningfuneralservice.com.

A celebration of life will be held for Roger post-COVID, when all is safe again.

In lieu of flowers a donation to Kamloops Hospice Association or RIH Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
