 Felisha Ellanna Marie Schwartz August 29, 1996 – October 2, 2010 Felisha Ellanna Marie Schwartz was born on August 29, 1996 on a beautiful sunny day, in Dawson Creek, B.C. She was a precious addition to the family, born on her Grandma Schwartz’s Birthday and the day after her Mom’s. This Precious life ended suddenly On October 2, 2010, while she was just 14 years old. A beautiful service was held in honour of her life at Bethel Pentecostal Church on October 8, 2010, officiated by Pastor Dennis Helset, with the Eulogy spoken from the heart of “Grandpa” Don Swanton, and a memorial open mike time was held at the Chetwynd Recreation Centre on October 9, 2010, also officiated by Pastor Dennis Helset. Felisha was laid to rest beside her grandparents at the Rolla Cemetery. Felisha was a beautiful baby and was always happy and full of smiles. She had an open and loving heart from the very start; an attribute that never faded. Her early childhood was spent in her home town of Dawson Creek, where she attended school at Mountain Christian School. Those who attended the school with her would have vivid memories of an active, happy little girl that talked about anything and everything, often all in the same conversation. The High School students loved her nature so much that they would give in to her requests for candy almost without fail. This became an issue for her schooling and mom had to pin a note to her shirt that read “I am not allowed candy”. This beautiful little girl grew up fast and in early 2005 moved, with her family, to Chetwynd, BC because her mom was offered a better job. Chetwynd was a huge change for her and she struggled to fit in with her classmates, having come from a small Christian school and entering into a large public school. School continued to be a struggle for her, but, her church family became increasingly important. Many people have been adopted into her family as brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, grandmas and grandpas. To Felisha everyone was her family and each received as much love as the other. She loved to give “squeezy” hugs and love to poke a belly or pull a beard just to get a reaction. Felisha had many loves in her life one of the biggest was that of animals, she would help at the dog pound cleaning and training dogs and taking in stray kittens whenever she thought she could get away with it. When she wasn’t helping at the pound she could be found at the horse barns in Chetwynd helping anyone who would let her help with the horses and get the occasional Quad ride with a friend. She was a country girl living in town and she made the best of it. In Felisha’s short life she touched many lives giving hope and joy to those who really needed it; it was her gift and she used it to its fullest. She will be missed dearly by many and remembered by all who even met her for a moment. “The girl with the rainbow hair” Left to mourn Felisha are her Mother and Step Father Marvella Schwartz and Kevin Pradolini with her brothers Sheldon Nicodemus and Keenan Nicodemus; Her Father and Step Mother Ray Schwartz and Leanne Zacher with her step brother Jeremy Zacher and step sisters Tessa Zacher and Casey Boughton; a nephew Cale and several Aunt, Uncles, and cousins. She was predeceased by her grandma and grandpa, Herb and Elsie Nicodemus and her special kitty Patches. Donations in memory of Felisha can be made to The Child Development Center, Dawson Creek or Mickey’s Place Youth Outreach Center, Chetwynd. “Let us not love with words or tongue, but, with actions and truth” 1 John 3:18 Life is short; eat dessert first. |
