Mom, Pats as many knew her was born in Vancouver, B.C. Pats married Bert Neumann in the 1950’s and they had two sons; Michael Neumann of Princeton, B.C. and Brian Neumann of Salmon Arm, B.C. Pats and Bert separated and in 1970 Cecil Hurtig came into her life and they were a happy couple until Cecil’s passing in 2005. Cecil and Pats lived in White Rock, B.C. when they were first married and then later moved to Armstrong where they lived on two different farms over the years. Raising and currying for horses was one of mom’s passions. Eventually they moved to Salon Arm to be close to their grand kids. Cecil and mom loved their time with them and many a fine laugh was had as they grew into young ladies. The many who knew mom will miss her. Mom’s family; her sons Michael and Brian, daughter-in-law Sherlene and grand-daughters Nikola and Joelene most of all. We wish to thank those amazing people at Hillside Village, Bastion Place and Shuswap Lodge who made mom’s day, everyday... Thank you for all your caring and compassionate love to mom.
