October 5, 1937 - February 5, 2023
Frances “Frankie” Dueck passed away peacefully in hospital, Olds, Alberta on February 5, 2023. She is survived by her children Janice Haugen, Debbie (Vince) Cooper and Calvin (Rose) Haugen.
Frankie was raised in the farm community of Wanham Alberta, grew up around livestock and developed a lifelong passion for horses, of which she would own many over the years.
She had a great career with B.C. Tel in Dawson Creek, Kamloops, and Nelson B.C. She worked in real estate in Grand Forks, worked a rock quarry business in Salmo, and eventually earned her hairdresser accreditation in Dawson Creek at the end of her working life.
Frankie truly sparkled in good company, and those who knew her loved her, those who met her would not soon forget her.
She was truly blessed with life long friends, like Leonie and Ralph Watson of B.C., who have been steadfast and loyal throughout life’s changes, challenges and brilliant memories.
It was Mother’s wish to have her ashes delivered to Victoria B.C. to her late husband's daughter Kendall , where she could be once again reunited with Ken.
We will forever miss you Mom
