Noreen Stone, 82, of Victoria, B.C. (previously Kamloops), passed away peacefully on February 17, 2026. Noreen was born on July 28, 1943, to Carl and Marie Hagen in Innisfail, Alberta. In 1961, Noreen met Marvin Stone in Prince George, BC and two months later Noreen and Marvin married, on August 5th, 1961, in Kelowna. Noreen and Marvin went on to adopt five children; Marvin Jr., Chris, Amber, Paula and Paul and they resided in Kamloops, BC for more than 40 years. Noreen worked at the family accounting firm as a book-keeper during the tax season for many years and she also enjoyed volunteering at the North Kamloops Safeway supporting their Seniors Shopping program. Noreen loved to garden, feed the birds, spend time at the lake with her family and she loved her pets. Noreen was predeceased by her parents, Marie and Carl, her sister Ilene, her husband, Marvin and her son, Chris. Noreen is survived by her children, Marvin Jr., Amber (Trevor), Paula (Mike) and Paul (Kim); by her nephew, Herb (Susan), and by her grandchildren, Brianna, Mikayla, Tyson, Haylee, Eva, Noah and Zach. A private family celebration of life will be planned in the summer up at the lake. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Glenda Wasylenko My thoughts are with all the family. Mrs. Stone as I grew up calling her. She was an amazing person as my “other” mother. She was a genuine person to a lot of us as children and made us feel comfortable in her home. She treated you as family with her kindness and welcomed you with open arms. I will remember all the fun times I had with all and going to the lake. She truly will be missed by many. Love and hugs❤️

Annette Georgeski I only met Noreen a few times throughout our trips to Canada & also on her visit to Oz but felt I knew her well due to all the chats we had about your Mum. You & Mike cared for her so deeply in everyway, even having her live with you both for long stretches of time.Paula you cared and looked after your Mum so lovingly, she was a lucky lady and I know she is going to be missed by all your family.

julie bergen Thankyou for letting me know that your Mom has died. I could write a book on my memories of Noreen. She was in my life from my move to Prince George at the age of thirteen. I had a room at their house later in Prince George and she was one of my bridesmaids when I got married. Following to kamloops we kept in touch. Through the ups and downs of life, we kept in touch…she was special to me. When we talk of the patchwork of our lives she was a strong one. I am sending out love to all her children. Hugs from Auntie Julie
Dear Paula and Mike

Thankful that you were able to be there in her last moments and that you have many memories of love that will lift you up during this time. Praying strength and comfort to you and your whole family. Love Sheila Sundell
