1927 — 2022

Theresa Olive Eaton, age 94, passed away peacefully March 7, 2022 in Kamloops, BC. She was born on July 14, 1927, in Ontario to Harry and Olga Denomey.

Terri was predeceased by the two loves of her life, Cliff Rejhon (1976) and Ray Eaton (2007), her parents Harry and Olga Denomey, her brothers; Harvey, Lucien and Barney Denomey, her sisters; Stella McCarter and Olive Ferguson and her sister-law Rose Denomey.

Terri was blessed with a personality that just drew people to her – she was honest, trustworthy, and extremely witty.  Everyone whose lives she touched will surely miss her artistic, fun loving, independent spirit.  She was a multi-talented woman:  a gifted artist, quilter, knitter, writer, gardener, card shark and cook.  She had recipes for everything, and all had the added Auntie Terri twist or tweak. Her love of nature was the inspiration for most of her paintings.

Terri is survived by her brothers; Ferg (Glenda) Denomey of Oliver, BC and Jim Denomey of Kamloops, BC; her step son-law Bob (Joan) Eaton of Penticton, BC and so many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews plus great-great nieces and nephews all of whom she loved and touched deeply.  Terri leaves behind many friends in Nakusp, Enderby, Vernon and Salmon Arm who she met through the legion, bridge clubs, craft clubs, book clubs or painting groups.  During the last few years, she met new friends and bonded with the special Mayfair community in Kamloops.

There will be no formal service as Terri wished, however we encourage all who loved her to celebrate her life and pay tribute to her memory with their loved ones.

Special thanks and appreciation to the RIH Trauma and Emergency nurses, doctors and support staff who cared for Terri so expertly and lovingly.  Also, to the first responders who transported Terri to RIH with tender loving care.

Terri’s remains will be scattered in the areas captured in her masterpieces.

In lieu of flowers and other tributes, donations may be made in Theresa Olive Eaton’s memory to the RIH Foundation.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Kamloops Funeral Home.
