FRANCES AILEEN PICKELL
July 21, 1925 - June 13, 2021
She was born in Brandon, MB to Ray and Frances Collins. The youngest of four girls, she grew up there in a happy and loving family. In 1948, she married Len and in 1959 they moved their young family to Flin Flon, MB, where their cottage at Bakers Narrows became a special place for friends and family. Even after retiring to Victoria in 1985, the lake called them back each summer for many years.
Fran was predeceased by her husband Leonard Douglas; and her sisters, Margaret Collins, Edith Aslett, and Mina Magee. She is survived by her two sons, Doug (Bev) of Lethbridge, and Jim (Wanda) of Vancouver; five grandchildren: Dave (Tara), Jennifer (Todd); Mark (Linda), Niel (Jen) and Jeff (Katie); and great-grandchildren: Devon and Kaylee Pickell; Jack, Nicholas, and Sarah Buchholzer; Elanah and Israel Pickell; and Imajyn and Crispin Pickell, as well as many nephews and nieces.
Fran was a treasure who loved life and making others smile. She will be greatly missed, but will stay in our hearts forever.
A private service will be held.
Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mckenziefuneralservices.com.
