Lucille Rachel Bishop (nee Hastings) passed away peacefully with loved ones by her side on January 3, 2017. Rachel is survived by her husband, Gary, and her Uncle Ray, reuniting with her parents, Janet and Keith, for whom she unfailingly cared for.
Travel was Rachel’s most profound mentor. It provided the experiences which created a empathetic, generous, graceful and loving woman. Always a creative spirit, Rachel immensely enjoyed pursuing her many artistic interests.
A refuge of calm amidst a storm, she best exemplified this by her optimism, determination and courage until her last breath. I can’t believe we have lost you. I’ll love you forever, Sweetheart.
A very special thank you to Maureen, Jamie and those that cared for her with such kindness at Victoria Hospice.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Victoria Hospice or BC Cancer Foundation are appreciated.
Respectfully, Rachel has requested no service.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
