NOEL MICHELL
Passed on: January 6th, 2013
On Sunday, January 6th, 2013, Noel Michell of Kamloops, B.C. passed away peacefully surrounded with the love of family. He was 80 years old.
Noel is survived by his beloved wife Katy of 49 years, son Ralph Michell, granddaughters Hannah, Gillian, daughter Susan (Jason) McGillivray and grandchildren Meghan, Matthew, Amanda, cousins Red (Sara) Williams, Gary (Jen) Reynolds, Mary (Jack) Dawes, Marcia (Larry) Sedola, Linda (John) Rhodes and close friend and neighbor George Little. Noel was a loving husband, father and grandfather, and a friend to many.
Noel was born to parents Bert (Gladys) Michell on Christmas Day at Mrs. Phillips Nursing Home, Kamloops. He lived his entire life on Jocko Creek Ranch south of Kamloops. He dedicated his life to ranching, family and friends. He was a great stockman with years spent herding large flocks of sheep in the Hooshum Mountain ranges south of Merritt and later raising Hereford and Angus cattle at the home ranch. Noel always rode a good horse and enjoyed riding and working with his animals. He was a steward of the land, with a great love of nature and respect for animals. He was a hard working man with a kind, generous heart.
Dad treasured his time with friends and family, and truly enjoyed his grandchildren. He took great pride in the accomplishments of his grandchildren in school, sports, arts and 4-H.
Many thanks for the help and support his neighbors and fellow ranchers extended to him throughout his life, and to Dr. Proctor, the nurses at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic, and the staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for the care they provided him.
"Loved with a love beyond all telling,
Missed with a grief beyond all tears,
To the world he was just one
To us he was the entire world."
A Memorial Service will be held at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.

Ross Lorimer
On 7 August, Ross Lorimer, a loved and long-time resident of Lac Le Jeune, died suddenly while in the woods near his home.
The obituary copied below appears on the In Memoriam website, where you may leave your condolences. Note also that the Lorimer family is holding an Open House this weekend.
We are all very saddened by this news. On a personal note, I think back on the last time I saw Ross. It was at the LLJ transfer station and, as always, he was his usual cheery, friendly, smiley self.
Ross McIntosh Lorimer was born May 18, 1945. He died suddenly on August 7, 2012 while gathering firewood in the woods near his home in Lac Le Jeune.
Ross is survived by his wife of 41 years, Beverley, and his children Michael (Tammy) and Kathryn (Jason). The pride of Ross' life were his two grandchildren Talyn and Lauren. Since retirement, he has taken every opportunity to spend time with his two beautiful grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings Ted (Leanne), Jeanie, Jamie (Jennifer), Keith (Chris), sister-in-law Barbara (Tom) and many nieces and nephews.
Ross spent his entire working career in sales with Cadbury/Schweppes, Fraser Valley Foods, Pillsbury and Golden Boy. During his career, he worked with customers and friends throughout the entire province. Whether it was major retail chains or mom and pop corner stores, he built friendships that lasted throughout his entire career.
Ross enjoyed many vacations at Salt Spring Island and the Oregon Coast. This love of the west coast began with his boyhood summers spent at the family home on Salt Spring Island. Ross has travelled to Scotland numerous times over the past decade to visit daughter Kathryn and her family in Edinburgh. He loved the outdoors and took daily walks on nearby trails with his four-legged pals Kootenay and Tanner. Retirement also brought a renewed interest in golfing, fishing and spending time around the pool table with his friends.
At Ross' request, his life will be celebrated in a small family ceremony on Salt Spring in October.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Variety Children's Charity would be appreciated.
For those wishing to pay their respects, an Open House will be held at his home in Lac Le Jeune on Sunday, August 19th from noon until 2:00 p.m.
