BLOOMFIELD, Murlis
passed away peacefully
on August 14, 2007 at the
age of 93. She is sadly
missed and lovingly
remembered by all whose
lives she touched including
her three children: sons:
Jolyon (Sandra) Hallows
of Burnaby, B.C., Nicholas
(Beverley) Bloomfield
of Penticton, B.C., and
daughter, Christine (Glenn)
Reinke of Vanderhoof,
B.C.; five grandchildren,
seven great grandchildren
as well as numerous nieces
and nephews. Murlis had
a remarkable life surviving
two world wars. She was
born in Burma in 1914 and
moved with her family to
England at the end of World
War 1 where she received all
her schooling and in 1937
married Eric Hallows who
sadly predeceased her in
October of 1940. She then
married Paul Bloomfield in
1944 and moved to Canada
as a war bride in August of
1946 settling in Prince George,
B.C. then moving to Fort St.
James, B.C. in 1947 until 1991
when she and Paul moved to
Penticton, B.C where Paul
sadly predeceased her in
November of 1991. She loved
her music and played the organ
for her church through most of
her years in Fort St. James. She
also loved to sit and gaze out
the window at the world going
by whether it was from the
window of the house or from
the car traveling down the road
as long as she was warm. A
