It is with great sadness we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Bruna Rosemary Berisoff on November 6, 2013. Bruna passed away with family by her side at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital at the age of 59.

Bruna was born on August 19, 1954 in Trail, BC to Carlo and Irma Degan.

Bruna is survived by her devoted and loving husband Tom of 38 years, their children Derek (Robin) Berisoff, and Celina (Brent) Iachetta.

Her grandchildren, who were the light of her life include: Kacie, Alexx, Lucas, and Parker, as well as her step-granddaughter Kelsey.

Her surviving siblings are Dario (Cheryl) Degan, Rose (Wally) Caron, and Irene (Len) Harding, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Bruna was blessed with a large and loving family who created many memories that will be forever cherished and remembered. Our memories of our wife, mother, “Noni”, sister, aunty, and friend will live on deep in our hearts. She is deeply missed.

Bruna was pre-deceased by her father, Carlo Degan on February 28, 2003, and most recently her mother, Irma Degan on November 2, 2013.
