Tribute
On Friday, May 24, 2024, Deborah ‘Debbie’ James of Osoyoos, passed away after her 3 ½ year battle with cancer with her husband by her side, at the age of 68. She is predeceased by her father, Dave Luneng and brother, Dwight Klimosko.
Debbie is survived by her husband Mike James; son Richard James; mother Helen Luneng; sister Penni Mackenzie; brothers Joe and David Luneng; and numerous nieces & nephews.
Debbie started working in construction and later became a real estate agent, before finally settling as a teacher’s aide, where she truly found her place and was greatly appreciated by her students.
Debbie loved to get together with her friends; was a regular at the Summerland Racquet Club where she played tennis; and was an avid bridge player and lover of all games. She also loved to travel, having the opportunity to visit many parts of Europe, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.
Her adventurous spirit and good nature will be missed.

Relation: Lakeshore Racquets Club
I was very sad to hear the news about Debbie. She was a trooper on and off the tennis court and she always made a point of visiting her “second home” at Lakeshore Racquets Club even when she was unable to play. Debbie will be deeply missed, not only for her contributions at our club but for her devotion to her students that she helped over the years. Condolences to Mike and all of her family.
