Antoinette Tona Armstrong
November 5, 1918 - March 2, 2012
Tribute
After a long and fulfilling life, our mother Tona Armstrong passed away on March 2, 2012 at Sunnybank Centre at the age of 93 years.
Tona was predeceased by her husband Bob in 2007. They are both lovingly remembered and missed by children Robert (Christine) Armstrong of Prince Rupert and Margo (Terry) Meade of Kamloops; grandchildren Kyla (Steve) Magnusson of Prince Rupert, Blain (Keiko) Armstrong of Japan and great-grandchildren Grace and Ryan.
Tona was born in Prince Rupert on November 15, 1918. It was here she met Bob, her childhood sweetheart. They were married in Victoria in 1941 while Bob was stationed there with the Navy. They returned to Prince Rupert following discharge from the Navy and lived there until 1967 when they moved to Oliver and became partners in Cherry Grove Golf Course.
Tona loved to have fun and could always make us laugh with her antics. She will be fondly remembered and missed by all who knew her.
A memorial mass will be celebrated by Fr. Gabriel at 11:00 A.M. Wednesday March 7, 2012 at Christ the King Catholic Church. A reception hosted by the Catholic Women’s League in the church lower hall will follow the mass.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Myslek and the staff at South Okanagan General Hospital and the staff of Sunnybank for their loving care.
Flowers are gratefully declined. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Sunnybank Centre.

Both Steve and i loved Tona very much and were always delighted with her antics, humor and kindness. Never a dull moment around her. I know that Tona is now with my darling Steve in heaven and what a happy place that will be. My love and prayers for the family and it has been a joy getting to know all of you. Blessings in the days ahead. I know how much you will miss her. hugs Betty-Jo
