PAIN, Cecilia Amanda. Oct. 26, 1926 - Sept. 15, 2013. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sweet and gentle mother and grandmother, Cecilia Amanda Pain, on September 15, 2013. Cecilia passed away peacefully in White Rock, BC surrounded by her loving family. Cecilia was predeceased by her husband of almost 66 years, Jack Laird Pain, on July 28, 2013. Cecilia was broken hearted without Jack and her health quickly deteriorated as a result of this significant loss. Cecilia was born in southern Saskatchewan but her family relocated to Choiceland in the north following the onset of the Great Depression. Cecilia moved to Kamloops, BC where she worked as a nurse's aide at the Tranquille TB Sanatorium before going north to work at the hospital in Prince George. It was not long before she met Jack and they were married in September 1947. Cecilia and Jack made their life together in Prince George where they raised three children: Sandra, Doug and Janis. They are proud Grandparents to: Karmen, Michael, Mark, Josh, Luke and Joseph and Great-Grandparents to Cyrus and Milo. In 1988 they moved to White Rock, BC where they enjoyed their retirement years. Cecilia enjoyed golf, bridge and dancing along with Jack. She was active at her church and was involved in volunteer activities at Peace Arch Hospital for many years. Cecilia will be remembered for her happy, smiling and positive personality and for the inner strength that never let her down no matter what life put in her path. She was loved deeply by her family and is greatly missed. Special thanks to the staff at Crescent Gardens... There will be a private family ceremony to acknowledge Cecilia's passing. She will be buried alongside Jack at Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery in South Surrey.
