Obituary of Sylena Beamer

Sylena Beamer 1926 - 2018 Sylena Beamer passed away peacefully at Rotary Manor Care Home with her loving husband Harry at her side, on July 4, 2018 at the age of 91. She was born Wasalina Towpich on September 2, 1926, in the hamlet of Duvernay, Alberta to Arion and Dokitza Towpich. Sylena was the fifth child of seven children. Sylena was a devoted wife, mother, and friend to all who knew her. Sylena for a small package was a very committed, energetic force to keep up with. Sylena's family resided in Musidora and Eaglesham, where they farmed for a few years, then returned to the Peace River county of Wanham, Alberta where Sylena's father had purchased the General Hardware Store. It was at this point in Wanham that a young gentleman by the name of Harry Beamer, wearing blue jeans and a buck skin jacket entered into her life. Wedding bells sounded June 29, 1954. Sylena gave birth to their son Allen, followed by daughter Barbara. Sylena was a stay at home mom until the early sixties, and then worked at the Dawson Creek & District Hospital in house-keeping for 21 years. Sylena and Harry enjoyed and fondly remembered their trips to Hawaii. Sylena had a passion for her flower and vegetable garden. As her health deteriorated, Sylena and Harry became residents of Rotary Manor in 2017, where she adopted members of Rotary staff. Sylena leaves to mourn her loving husband Harry; their children Al (Glenna) Beamer and Barb (Ian) Munro; grandchildren Bryce Beamer, Reece Beamer, Jalene (Randy) Groebmair, Danielle Miller, and Ashley Munro; great-grandchildren Lucas and Korbin Groebmair. She will be remembered by numerous nieces and nephews, and countless friends.
