ADELINE (DEL) CECILIA KUPPERS

nee OLEJARZ

March 13, 1925 – November 8, 2023


With saddened hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother at Morgan Place, Surrey,B.C.

Mom was born in Poland and in 1930, at the age of five she immigrated to Canada with her parents, John and Barbara and sister Jean. They made their home in Winnipeg, Manitoba where her brother Bill was born.

In time she went on to meet her future husband Alex and together they raised four children. As a stay at home mom, she dedicated herself to creating a loving home for all of us. As parents they were very involved with their children attending to as many games and recitals as they could.

Mom eventually ventured out to work, becoming involved in retail with women’s fashions at Ricki’s and The Bay for many years. As Alex was a dedicated member of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, she too involved herself locally in Winnipeg and B.C. They travelled to many ceremonies overseas, with D-Day in Holland being one.

Over time the winters in Winnipeg drove them to the West Coast where they settled in Langley and began a life of retirement. She led a full life, making many friends along the way and enjoyed very much a women’s choir, socializing and knitting.

She was predeceased by her husband Alexander, her parents, sister Jean, brother Bill (Bev) and son in law Gene. Left to mourn are her children; Kirk (Sonia), Gary (Joan), Trudy (Chris) and Lori with grandchildren Carly, Kimberly, Kelly, Robert, Devon, Mike; great-grandchildren Avery, Atlyn Alexey, Emmitt and extended family.

Her four children were at her bedside when she passed. May she rest in peace.

Mom’s Life Celebration will be held at ValleyView Funeral Home on Friday December 1, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
