Pearl Diane Boechler (née Belof) was born in 1933 in Foxhill, Saskatchewan and on November 10 2024 she joined the angels in heaven at the age of 91 years old. She was a treasured family member and friend to so many. A great listener, she was genuinely interested in learning about others and was generous with her time and love.

Pearl was surrounded by love and family when she passed peacefully. Her love and commitment to her family will always be remembered. She is predeceased by her father Joseph Belof (1975), mother Eva Belof (1985), husband James Boechler (1971), brother Peter Belof (2021). She is survived by her daughters Sherry Boechler and Laurie Johnson; her granddaughter Kristin Johnson; her brother Roy Belof (Beverly); sister Helen Gregg; the Johnson family including Kelly Johnson, Kyle, Kayla, Kenley, and Karley Johnson, and Angela Johnson (Kyle); Jacob and Abbighaol; plus many nieces and nephews.

Pearl grew up on a farm in Dysart, Saskatchewan, and later became a Registered Nurse. She married James Boechler and they raised their family in Moosejaw until they moved to BC in the early 1960s.

Pearl kept the magic of Christmas going year-round, always finding the perfect presents and sharing her delicious baking. She was very connected to the Catholic church and will be remembered as wise and kind. She believed in the importance of education and found joy in learning new things. She loved her rose garden and enjoyed tending to the roses in the evenings.

A Funeral Mass will be held on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2024, at 10:00 AM, located at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, with Father Pat Monette presiding, 750 Rutland Road N, Kelowna, BC, with a reception to follow.

Dear Sherry, Laurie and family,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. Our family lived on Elm St East when you lived on Bernard Avenue and Laurie and I often played together. I remember your family was involved with the Okanagan Twirlettes, and although I could not twirl a baton without injury to someone nearby, your lovely Mom didn't want me to feel left out, so invited me to carry the Twirlette banner in the Regatta parade. I'll always remember how wonderful and kind she was. - Karen (Williston) Waldal
