David John Allard
March 11, 1963 - September 29, 2026

David John Allard passed away peacefully on September 29, 2026, in Creston, BC, at the age of 63 years, with his wife by his side. The memory of his beautiful spirit will be treasured and held forever by his beloved Margaux.

David was born on March 11, 1963, in North Bay, ON, to parents Victor Allard and Madeleine St.Cyr.

David was an incredibly kind and gentle human being. He got along with everybody, and most people enjoyed his company.

He was multi talented. He loved going for walks in nature, hanging out with people, and music. One of his achievements was designing and building three Hurdy Gurdy’s.

He loved cats almost as much as his wife Margaux did, and he loved his home and this valley very much.

He will be missed terribly by many friends, family, and especially his beloved wife. They spent all their time and most of their lives with each other, working, playing and cherishing each other’s company.

David had an endlessly creative mind, and could solve almost any problem. What ever chaos confronted him, he approached it calmly and gracefully, never panicking, always solving it.

Even when he became ill, he faced his cancer with grace, bravery and dignity. Not only because this was his way, but because of his devotion and dedication to his wife, whom he always protected and adored.

David was predeceased by his father Victor John Allard.

David will be lovingly remembered by his wife Margaux Allard, his mother Madeleine St. Cyr, sisters Kathy Allard and Debbie Sterling, nieces and nephews Jordan Allard, Craig and Tina Allard and their children.

Rest well, sweet prince.

A Private gathering for friends and family will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, friends wishing to make a memorial contribution may do so to Creston Pet Adoption & Welfare Society, 2805 Lower Wynndel Road, Creston, BC V0B 1G8.

Joellen (Jodi) Kaye Thompson (nee Adams)
March 3, 1952 - October 4, 2026

Joellen (Jodi) Kaye Thompson (nee Adams) of Creston, BC, passed away peacefully at Swan Valley Lodge, surrounded by her family.

Born in March 1952 in Warren, Michigan, she moved to Canada when she was 19. After living in several communities, she settled in Smiths Falls, Ontario.

A business owner and avid adventurer, Jodi was always eager to help others. She owned or worked with many organizations dedicated to giving people “a hand up.”

In 2011, she followed her daughter Sheri to British Columbia and settled in Creston.

Moves to Mexico and many road trips across Canada and the United States—including the famous Route 66—kept her busy and introduced her to countless new people. She treasured her many wonderful, lifelong friends, who became part of her extended family.

Jodi was a dedicated mother who never missed a chance to remind her children how proud she was of them. Her grandchildren knew her as "Veggie Grandma", “Grandma Larry” and “Grandma “T”” and she treasured every moment spent with them.

Jodi was predeceased by her mother, Margaret Ellen Adams, in 1995; her father, Charles Kenneth Adams, in 2006; and her infant sister, Jonelle Ray.

She is survived by her brother, Jay Adams, and her sister, Janice (Adams) Raleigh (John).

Her children are Rhonda Huneault, Dennis Huneault (Susan), and Sheri (Huneault) Shearer (Kevin).

Her nieces and nephews are Dawn, Valerie, Kevin, and Tammy.

Her grandchildren are Zachary (Shelby), Edward (Carley), Quentin (Ceili), Joseph (Olivia), Michael, Tianna (Logan), and Serena (Isaac).

Her great-grandchildren are Felix, Evelyn, Sofia, Ava, Zoe, Benjamin, and Noah.

In keeping with her wishes, there will be no celebration: “I will live on forever in their hearts.”

In lieu of flowers, please offer someone “a hand up,” whether large or small. That was all Mom ever wanted.

John 11:25–26
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”

I am safely home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder why I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus’ love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus’s land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
