Kamloops This Week - obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sara Jane Bachand, after a short battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones. Sara peacefully joined her parents and siblings. She is survived by her husband, Demonte, her sons and daughters-in-law, Malcolm, Marnie, Richard, and Lee Anne, her grandchildren, Taylor, Ali, Abbey, and Zach and many nieces, nephews and relatives throughout Alberta. While it is easy to mourn the loss of such a compassionate, intelligent, funny, and thoughtful woman, it is also easy to look back at the time we had with her and feel enormously blessed.
Sara was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on July 21, 1943 to John Reed and Elva Asplund, and had four siblings Lois, Garnet, Ken and Maureen. She married Demonte Bachand on October 16, 1965, and in 1967 they moved to Kamloops, BC, where her and Monte raised a family, (and did a darn good job of it.) She was a multifaceted woman throughout her life: a homemaker, the owner of a bridal boutique, and a dedicated volunteer to a variety of community organizations.
Family was truly the centre of Sara's life, and she was happiest when everyone was together. Whether it was a family reunion, the holidays, or the weekly Sunday dinner, Sara's children, grandchildren, and friends were always welcomed into a house brimming with love. Sara especially loved Christmas. No one could make the holidays more special, or make Christmas chocolates quite like her. (As much as she loved the Christmas holidays, she also enjoyed lots of winter vacations to Hawaii with Monte and her children, and eventually her grandchildren too!)
Although it is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye, it is grief that comes inevitably from having such an incredible woman bring so much happiness and love into our lives. She will be deeply missed.
