Lois Fay McClellan (nee Farquharson) was born on October 6, 1930. Lois, my mom and friend, left her current life on September 25, 2016 after a short battle with lung cancer. Lois was the youngest daughter of Edna May and (William) Nelson Farquharson, of North Vancouver, BC and was married to Peter Graham McClellan (deceased 1996). She raised 2 children; her son and first born Douglas Graham McClellan (deceased 1975) and her daughter Brenda Mae McClellan (of Salmon Arm). Lois (with my Dad) moved to a Silver Creek acreage in the late 80’s and shortly after the 1998 fire moved into Salmon Arm, first to North Broadview, and then to Braeside Place. Mom’s “English” daughter Carolyn and her husband Peter Beard followed her to Salmon Arm in 2009 with daughter Brenda finally getting the idea and arriving in 2013 with her husband David Walker. Lois will also be greatly missed by Carolyn and Peter Beard and their children Amanda (and spouse Ravi), and Matthew (and spouse Paula) along with her “adopted” great-grandchildren: Naveed, Aria, Zoe and Amelia.
Ingrid and John Monk were generous supporters of the Hospital Foundation. John and Ingrid generously supported the CT Scan Project by turning over a large donation of securities, amongst the first to use this type of philanthropy. Ingrid saw fit to remember the Hospital Foundation even after her passing and left the Foundation yet another very generous sum. The Monks were proud to consider themselves members of the Sicamous area for many years. John grew up on a farm in the Grindrod area and spent a career in education teaching in the public schools in Eagle Bay and Grindrod. He did his stint in the military teaching Officer Training in the UK. He moved on to higher education and eventually became Dean of the City of Vancouver Vocational Institute for ten years until retirement. The draw of the Shuswap brought John and Ingrid back when John retired at the age of 55. They settled on Mara Lake and in the latter years in Salmon Arm both were very active in the Community. With the support and backing of Ingrid John became active in local government, land tribunals, Chamber of Commerce, and other community development such as the Salmon Arm Nature Bay Enhancement Society. The Shuswap Hospital Foundation is proud to recognize Ingrid and John as Benefactors to the Foundation.
