Lillian Susan Giesbrecht
died Jan . 29, 2008 . She
was born in a log cabin
Sept. 6, 1925 to Peter and
Susan Epp in Clairmont,
Alta. In 1934, the family
moved to LaG lace, Alta., where Lillian spent the
rest of her childhood years . Along with simple
farm joys, Lillian attended Sexmith Bible Institute
and Bear Lake Kid's Bible Camp where she was
challenged in her faith. Known for feist and
adventure, Lillian pursued a nursing degree in
Winnipeg. She married Burton Giesbrecht and
moved to Kelowna in 1957. Along with extreme
camping, skiing, and canoe escapades, she
lectured at Okanagan Bible College, held Bible
clubs, and published writing and poetry that
many appreciated. She had a keen ability to read
people around her and touch them with a deep
sense of hope and love - especially lonely people
or strangers. Predeceased by Burton in 1985 and
two brothers, she is mourned by children Steve
(Betty), Darrel (Surjit); 3 grandchildren; 1 brother.
