It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Gun-Britt Irene Franklin on January 12, 2025, at the age of 79. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Douglas Franklin.

Irene will be lovingly remembered by her family, Lovette, Tami (Archie), Warren, Ashley, and grandchildren Hayden, Jaren, Mica, Hilton, Katana, Diego and Quade.

Irene was an exemplary mother and an exceptional human being. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends.

She never forgot a birthday or anniversary and went out of her way to make people feel special.

When she wasn't spoiling her grandchildren, she could be found traveling, reading or shopping. Irene also was a 20-year volunteer with the Auxiliary to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. To know Irene was to love her, and we are all better people because of her.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2pm, February 8th, 2025, at the Fraser River Funeral Home.
